Tie McHcnry PJaindealcr Published by F. G. 8€HEEfl^EfL JfcHENRY, ILLINOI8. BROSEVELT AT HOWE ROOSEVELT REACHES-SAGAMORE EX-PRESIDENT ON REACHING OYSTER BAY. STANDS LONG JOURNEY WELL MASERO WILL FIGHT X-RAY SHOWS BULLET IN ROOSEVELT'S CHEST TROOPS TO vfeftA CRUZ TO RE TAKE CITY AND OUST DIAZ. Vast Crowds Meet His Train at Every 8tation En Route, But the Dis­ tinguished Man Is Too III to Show Himself. Sagamore Hill, Oyster Ray, N. Y., Oct. 23.--Surrounded by his family, neighbors end friends, Colonel Roose­ velt reached Sagamore Hill Tuesday afternoon feeling bully," as expressed In the characteristic language of the ex-president He appeared none the worse for his Journey from Mercy hospital, Chicago, •where he was taken following the das­ tardly attempt of John Schrank to as­ sassinate him in Milwaukee. A large and sympathetic crowd of neighbors and home friends were at the Oyster Bay depot to greet the dis­ tinguished patient, but owing to the expressed wish of the colonel's party, particularly Mrs. Roosevelt, there was no demonstration of any kind, the crowd standing with bared heads in respectful silence as the colonel was removed from his private car "Ideal" and carried to an ambulance that con­ veyed him and his physicians, Doctors Lambert and Terrell, to the Roose velt home Here another large crowd awaited his coming. The colonel was cheerful and ex­ pressed his pleasure at seeing his old friends once more and of again set­ ting his foot within the halls of his own home. The servants of the house were lined up to receive their master and his devoted wife and family and were apparently happy over the fact that the colonel looked so well after his terrible experience. On Board Roosevelt Train, En Route, Oct. 23.--On Monday, a mellow autumn day whose warmth seemed to breathe a tender sympathy, Colonel Roosevelt traveled from Chi­ cago on his way to Oyster Bay on the most extraordinary trip ever un­ dertaken by a candidate for the presi­ dency. Unable, because of sheer weakness, to 6how himself on the platform of his private car the stricken Bull Moose leader with blinds drawn in his stateroom listened with throbbing heart to the soft murmuring of eager throngs as they clustered at stations along the way As the train rolled Into Pittsbtu-g Monday night the col­ onel, shaken up by the jostling of the train, confensed to Alexander Lam­ bert, his N>w York physician, who •with Dr. Scurry Terrell, is making the trip with him, that he was "tired oat" "I'm going to put in a sound night of sleep," he «ighed. "I'll be all right again in the morning." The bullet nestling in th« colonel's chest and the splintered rib fjave him more discom­ fort than the wounded leader had counted on. As the train jolted at times the ex-president experienced piercing pain. But he bore it without I a whimper. When night came the two physi­ cians agreed that although the tumb­ ling of the train had caused the col­ onel more worry than he would admit, he would suffer no ill effects. His rug­ ged constitution, they said, would withstand the ordeal that to a man less strong would have been well nigh Intolerable. Almost the whole day the ex-presi­ dent lay on a soft bed in his state room, reading, or when that grew Irk­ some, dropping into restful slumber. Outside of his family, his stenograph­ er, John Martin and the hitter's wife, who boarded the train at Lima, O , the colonel saw no one. He asked for QUiet, feeling himself that he needed to conserve all the strength at his oommand for the long run to Oyster Bay. He seemed to realize for the first time that carrying a bullet on a rag­ ged railroad journey is nothing to be regarded lightly. Even a Bull Moose when wounded has to look out. The private car Ideal, in which Colonel Roosevelt was secreted, is the same that President Taft used on his swing around the circle last fall. It is of steel with compartments enough for all the Roosevelt family and a kitchen of its own. The chef, "Jim," a coal black negro, who did the cooking for Colonel Roosevelt on his recent Bwlng through the west and south, was also on the ill-fated trip that ended with the shooting at Mil­ waukee. "Jim" fairly danced when he got his orders to report on the colo nel s car. The fact that he was tc serve the colonel again tickled hitn. U. 8.

The importation of cattle afflicted with tuberculosis into Illinois is dis­ cussed in the recent bulletin of the state board of health by Dr. James A. Egan, its editor, who points out the lack of power of the state board ot livo stock commissioners under exist­ ing laws, and shows the attempts mt.de by Governor Deneen to Becure the passage of bills correcting the defects in the laws. Doctor Egan advocates greater powers for live stock commission. so that Illinois will no longer be classed as the dumping ground of tuberculous cattle. His article reads as follows: "The majority--indeed nearly all states--have laws designed to pre­ vent the importation of tuberculous cattle. The notable exceptions in the middle west are Ohio and Illinois. "Governor Deneen devoted much attention to this matter in his biennial message to the Forty-sixth general as­ sembly in 1909, and recommended that measures correcting the defects ixi the laws of Illinois be passed by the general assembly. Bills on this line were introduced, but none became a law. "Again, in 1911, Governor Deneen dwelt on the matter in his message to the Forty-seventh geueral assem­ bly, and recommended 'that laws be enacted preventing the importation of tuberculous cattle into the state.' Continuing, Deneen said: " 'Thirty-three states have laws bearing on this subject preventing tbo importation of cattle afflicted with tuberculosis. Illinois is without such protection and has been made the dumping ground of such cattle from other states." Many Applicants Pass.

"Well," he would reply, showing as little In­ terest in the Bubjeet as possible, "I ain't no wuss." Further than that he wished to say nothing, and it took the cunning of a serpent to discover his real feelings. A man who was knocked down In the street by a snow- slide was assailed by a sympathizing crowd with condolence and question.

Even doing good to people Is hard work if you have too much of it to do. An overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience: "About three years ago as the result of doing two men's work, attending & large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. "I suffered from indigestion and con­ stipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for oontinued mental application. "I became irritable, easily angered and despondent without cause. The heart's action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpi­ tation during the first hour or two after retiring. "Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the re­ sult I got more satisfaction from It than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. "My improvement was rapid and permanent, in weight as well as In physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of liv­ ing again, and continue the dally use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. "The little pamphlet 'The Road to Wellville,' found in pkgs., is invari­ ably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the Indicated tem- edy." "There's a reason."
