ROOSEVELT OFF
FOR GREAT RUNT
ex-president sails away to
DARK CONTINENT.
TO BE IN AFRICA A YEAR
Then He Will Travel and Speak in
Europe—Three Skilled Naturalists
and His Son Kermit Accom
pany Him.
New York.—Theodore Roosevelt, ex
president of the United States, sailed
out of New York harbor Tuesday on
the steamer Hamburg of the Hamburg
American line on the way to his much
heralded hunting trip in British East
Africa.
On the dock was a large assemblage
of Mr. Roosevelt’s friends, who had
gathered to bid him God-speed, and
who cheered him as he stood at the
rail of the steamer waving his hand
and smiling with delight. Beside him
stood the three men selected from
hundreds of applicants to accompany
him and assist him in collecting the
specimens of African fauna which he
hopes to send back for the enrichment
of the Smithsonian institution. These
fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed
gar A. Mearns, J. Boring Alden and
Edmund Heller. They comprise the
Smithsonian’s expedition. The fifth
member of the little party, and not to
he considered of least importance, was
e ex-president's second son, Kermit,
ho will be the official photographer
the expedition and, next to his
ther, the chief hunter.
To Mombasa Via Naples.
Mr. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar
Naples, where he will board a
?amer of the German East African
ie for Kilindini harbor, the port of
ombasa. At the latter place the
rty will be joined by R. J. Cun
nghame, an Englishman of long ex
rience in Africa, who has been en
ged as general manager and guide.
The party will spend a short time in
unbasa and then proceed by train
the Uganda railway to Nairobi,
adquarters of the administration of
itish East Africa Protectorate, a city
13,514 inhabitants, of whom 579 are
ropeans.
On MacMillan’s Ranch.
William Northrup MacMillan, for
merly of St. Louis, owns a large
ate near Nairobi and his big, lux
ous farmhouse will be headquarters
1 about six months while the hunt
i and scientists make trips of vary
I length in all directions. It is in
s section that Mr. Roosevelt hopes
obtain most of his specimens, for
abounds with animals of all kinds,
e smaller mammals will be trapped,
fhe supplies of the party are packed
tin-lined boxes. These boxes when
iy have been emptied will be used
Packing cases for the various speci
es- Many valuable natural history
scimens have been spoiled by ants
d other insects, it has been found
'm experience on other expeditions,
d it is to guard against this that
5 tin-lined boxes are being taken
>ng.
Caring for Specimens.
When the specimens have been pre
fed they will be carefully packed in
9 boxes and shipped to Nairobi,
mre they will be forwarded to the
hted States. One of the taxider
sts will always be with Mr. Roose
It. and as so.rn as any big game is
by him it will be skinned and
'Pared on the spot.
'Ir. Roosevelt will be greatly dis
jointed if he fails to kill several
'Onions of the white rhinoceros.
Is animal is the same as the square
uthed-rhinoceros and is the nearest |
living ally to the type of the extinct
Tichorine or woolly rhinoceros which
lived in England at the close of the
Glacial period.
Journey Across Uganda.
Leaving Nairobi in October, the
party will proceed by the Uganda
railway to Port Florence, on the
shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, where
a short stop will be made; then a
steamer will be taken to Entebbe, 150
miles away. There a caravan will be
formed and the journey across
Uganda to the Nile will be begun. It
is expected that the White Nile will
be reached about the first of the year
1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be
touched at Kibira.
In a general way the course of the
Nile will be followed to Gondokoro,
and thence to Khartoum. At this city
Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit. will be
joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will
continue down the Nile slowly to
Cairo, visiting many points of interest
on the way.
To Speak in European Capitals.
Plans for the remainder of the ex
president's two years’ tour have not
been decided upon definitely, but the
time will be spent in Europe, and sev
eral matters of importance have been
announced. He will visit Berlin at the
invitation of Emperor William and
while there will deliver an address
upon the one hundredth anniversary
of the founding of the University of
Berlin.
From Germany he will go to France
and deliver an address at the Sor
bonne. It has not been learned how
long Mr. Roosevelt intends to stay in
Berlin and Paris. After his visit in
France, Mr. Roosevelt will go to Eng
land, where a reception of great
warmth undoubtedly will be accorded
to him. He has accepted an invitation
to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ox
ford university and in all probability
the honorary degree of D. C. L., which
Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Will
iam, will be conferred on Mr. Roose
velt.
The versatility of Mr. Roosevelt will
be shown by the fact that he will
speak German in his address before
the students of the University of Ber
lin, French in his lecture at the Sor
bonne, and English in delivering the
Romanes lecture at Oxford.
Pays His Own Expenses.
Mr. Roosevelt will defray the ex
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the scien
tists and the cost of preparing the
specimens and shipping them to Amer
ica will be paid out of a fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sev
eral books regarding his experiences.
During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York,
giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and book-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. It is said that the contract
price agreed upon is $1 per word,
but this never has been verified.
No Slaughter of Animals.
Even if the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr.
Roosevelt and his companions the Af
rican game preserves under its con
trol, the ex-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should bo
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing of animals for
sport is not the main object of his trip.
Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult
specimens, one of each sex, and a
specimen of their young; of animals
he meets with on the Dark Continent
Beyond this the killing will be lim
ited to the demands of the comml*
sary.
PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES.
It’s easy enough to recognize the
symptoms of poor paint, after it has
been on awhile—after its inherent
tendency to crack and peel and scale
and blister, etc., has developed into
trouble. You know these paint “dis
eases” usually indicate adulteration
or substitution in the paint materials.
And you know the only remedy is re
painting.
A little knowledge of paint and
painting requirements, and how to
made sure of the purity and quality
of materials, would prevent all trou
ble, and save the big extra expense of
re-painting; just as a proper knowl
edge of simple health-laws, and ob
servance of them, prevents sickness.
A complete painting guide, includ
ing a book of color schemes, specifi
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul
teration in paint materials, with di
rections for using it, can be had free
by writing National Lead Co., 1902
Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking
for Houseowner’s Painting Outfit
No. 49.
A very simple guide in the pur
chase of white lead (the only sure
and safe paint material) is the fa
mous “Dutch Boy Painter” trademark;
that trademark is an absolute guaran
tee of purity and quality.
Humiliation.
A certain small boy of six is rapid
ly assuming manly ways. Not long ago
his “room” at school planned an en
tertainment. There were to be little
songs and recitations and a myste
rious grab-bag. The small boy waxed
eloquent concerning the coming glo
ries of this show, and more especially
the part he would take.
On the morning of the entertainment
his mother suggested that he should
take his little sister, aged four, with
him. He hung his head.
“Don’t you want to take her?” his
mother asked.
“No, I don’t,” he answered.
“And why not?”
The reply came quickly.
“ ’Cause there ain’t none of th’ other
fellers has to bring their children.”
Quaint Oath Taken in Court.
What is regarded as the quaintest
oath still in use is that taken by tha
high court judges in the Isle of Man,
the terms of which are as follows:
“By this book and the contents there
of, and by the wonderful works that
God hath miraculously wrought in the
heaven above and the earth beneath in
six days and six nights, I do swear
that I will, without respect of favor or
friendship, loss or gain, consanguinity
or affinity, envy or malice, execute the
laws of this isle justly between party
and party as indifferently as the her
ring backbone doth lie in the midst of
the fish. So help me God, and the
contents of this book.’’

She Earned It. •
Mabel liked candy. However, she
w'as not allowed nearly as much as
she would like. One day her father
told her that she could have three
pieces if she would kiss a visitor who
was coming to dinner. As soon as the
front door was opened she rushed up
and implanted the kiss with much
gusto, and then turned to her father.
“Now, papa, give me the candy for
kissing her.”

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-Informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product,has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed,because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
1 his valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co.—
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for — Syrup of
Figs or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name — Syrup of Figs — which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States, in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary' of Agriculture, at \\ ashington, D. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, J une 30th, 1906.
