j It was thus that "the man of des
' tiny" idea became associated with Ills
I lift-. Ostensibly. Itoosevelt. leaving tne |
governorship of New York to become j
Vice-President. was moving forward
from State politics Into national poli
tics. so his political opponents pro
fessed publicly to believe; but it was
their secret desire to ?'shelve" the man
< and eliminate him from prominence in
| their community, it was said, that
prompted these political foes to ob
; tain for him the vice-presidential nom
1 inatiou. which ho personally did not
[ desire.
At the height of his public and polit
j leal career, during the Cour years of
the term for which lie had been elected,
Itoosevelt accomplished achievements
which historians will rank high in the
international and Industrial progress
of the country. They Included his In
lltieiiii.nl negotiations which, conducted
at Portsmouth. N. 11., effected peace
between Russia and Japan; inainte
i nance of the Monroe doctrine at a pe
i rlod when Kuropcan powers were In
i [erested in the affairs of Venezuela;!
, the recognition of Panama as a repub
lic and his treaty with Panama by
. which the' intemceanic canal through
1 that eouiitry was put under way. and
Ihe settlement, through his moral in
II tie nee in the face of a situation in
whi.li there was no adequate Federal
legislation of the Pennsylvania coal
: in t r i ? strike.
i For "u- part in terminating the
i Russo-.l .panese eorilllet ho was award

? years later, once more a private citizen,
he was special ambassador from the
| I'nited States at the funeral of King
i fed ward VII. of Kngland.

A rift in the friendship between
Itoosevelt his successor as Presi
dent, William Howard Tatt. led to the
former's announcement of his opposi
tion to Mr. Tail's rcnoniinat Ion. The
ex-President's inlltjence had been large
in placing Mr. Tuft in the White House.
Now his inlluence was equally strong
) in preventing ,Mr Taft from remaining
tin-re M?-n who had clashed with the
Taft policies quickly rallied to Roose
velt's support Itoosevelt assembled
what he termed as constructive b-das
a* opposed to the conservative ones of
the so-called Ipuhlicaii "i <1<1 Ouard,"
charaeterized theni with the descrip
tion "Progr? sive and organized the
Progressive party by withdrawing with
; h.s followers from the Chicago conven
tion of 191". He became the new
p.t/ty'.s candnlate for President. This
tplit in the Republican ranks resulted
; m Wondrow Wilson's election.
? >ne of the most dramatic incidents
[ in Roosevelt's life occurred during this
'?amp: ig:i. As he was leaving a hotel
; in Milwaukee to jro to a meeting hall
I to make a political address a man
; standing among the spectators in the
i street tired a shot which struck the
j Colonel and smashed a rib. Roosevelt
j insisted be was not seriously hurt, and
liis automobile conveyed him to the
I hall.
There he spoke to an audience which
had knowledge of what had happened ?
I .sobbing women and grave-faced men
j shaken with emotion by his appear
ance under such circumstances. Ex
amination of the wound showed it was
I serious, and the candidate was hur
: ried by special train to Chicago for
I treatment. Though he speedily recov
i ered the bullet was never removed.
The assassin was sent to an asylum
. for the insane.

; to be the greatest ovation an American
i private citizen was ever accorded by the
! p?-op'e ?>f h1 country. This was in 191?.
| At the head of an exploring partv in
i South American in 1914 he discovered
| and followed for i>00 miles a Madeira
j River tributary, which the P.razilian
government subsequently named In his
; honor l!eo Theodore. This was the
, famous "River of Doubt"?so-called
j because in many quarters, considered
I authoritative, it was questioned
whether Roosevelt was the first man
i to explore the stream. During this

message to the American people. It
was read last night at an ail-American
benefit concert in ilie Hippodrome by
Henry C. Quitnby. of the American De
fense Society, who voiced the Colonel's j
regret at his inability to be present in j
person because of Illness.
"I cannot be with you an<l so all I
can <Io is wish you godspeed," wrote the
Colonel. "There must be no sagging !
buck in the ligbt for Americanism just
becalists the war is over.
"There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an
American. l?ut something else also, isn't
an American at all. We have room for
but one 11.ig, the American flag, and this |
excludes the reii Hag, which symbol- .
i/.es ail wars against liberty and civil
ization. just as much as it excludes;
any foreign flag of a nation/ to which ;
we are hostile.
"We have room for but one language. '
and that is th ? Knglish language, for
we intend to see that the crucible tuins
our people out as Americans, of Atnerl- i
can nationality and not as dwellers in
a polyglot boarding-house; and we
have room for but one soul loyalty, and
that is loyalty to the American peo
ple."

Physical weaklings and nervous
wrecks arc their own worst enemies.
Thfrc is no reason why any man or
woman should be thin and puny when
| Nature has bountifully provided the
means for robust heaithy anil joyful
strength. Thousands of people arc on
the road to nervous prostration and
don't know it. They start out each day
j with an effort?eyes tired. minds
( clouded, tongue coated. At the end
of the day they have reached the limit
ot their strength. They realize that
something is wrong, but they go on
hoping that somehow they can shake
off this listless feeling. And then a
'change in the weather, a damp, raw
spell or a sudden chill wind suddenly
shatters their weakened bodies and
they are forced to their beds. Tills is
all wrong.
If folks would only remember that
disease is contracted only when the
body is lacking in vitality to combat
it there would be less deaths and less
suffering
"I was all run down to the very
bottom," declares Joseph McVeigh, the
well-known tool repairer who resides
at 111 Kirk Avenue. S. IS., Roanoke,
and who is employed in the Norfolk
and Western railroad shops. "It didn't
seem that night time would ever come,
so that I could rest from work, and
I grew worse and worse from day to
day. A man who works near nie said
ho knew just what 1 needed to build
me up, and promised to bring me some
if I would agree to take it. I said I
would, and next day lie brought a bot
tle of the new medicine, I>reco. Tills
bottle did me so much good that I
immediately bought more on my own
account, and I have now taken six
bottles of l?reco fin those six bottles
1 have gained 20 pounds in good, solid,
healthy flesh, and it looks like 1 am
going to keep every ounce of it. If
anybody can beat that 1 want to know
about it."
l>reco, referred to in the above
signed statement, is a natural body
builder machine. It corrects faulty
digestive functions, which are the
original causes of unnatural thinness.
It makes rich, red blood, creates it
sharp appetite and coaxes the diges
tive organs to get every ounco of flesh
inalcing material out of the food you
cat.
I>reco is sold by best druggists
everywhere, and Is particularly recom
mended In Richmond by Tragic Drug
Co., 817 Kant Hrond Street; Grant Drug

Your Own
Preferences Prevail
Your own preferences in regard to the dis

different from the provisions of the laws of the
descent of property.
This institution will be pleased to show you
how your property will be divided if the law
takes its course, and how you may exercise your
own preferences through a legal will. Perhaps,
in your case, a will is a necessity in order to
avoid hardship on the part of certain of your
heirs.
