ROOT STRONG TAFT PARTISAN Roosevelt's Secretary of State Takes Issue With Former Chief—Former Secretary Shaw Is Lined Up With Colonei’s Forces. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—It has been written Row wembers of Mr. Roosevelt's cab- inet itoday are divided in their allegi- ance between him and President Taft in the matter of presideutial succes- sion. It is said that all of Mr. Roose- velt's cabinet officers, whether they are supporting him or not, stili have & strong personal affection for him, and this makes their antagcoism to his ambitions probably the havder ior them. BElihu Root. now senator of the United States from New York, was a8 close personally to Mr. Roosevelt as any man in Washington. The sen- ator ordinarily is spoken of as a cold man, but there was a warmth in his relations with Theodore Roosevelt which showed that underneath the ‘eold exterior some fires burned. ‘When the coruer stone of the Bu- reau of American Republies building was laid. both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Root made speeches and the them president in speaking of Mr, Root's ‘work as secretary of state said that ia the whole history of the country there had been no greater secretary than Elihu Root. Mr. Roosevelt de- pended on Mr. Root to give to the country a good many of his views on "overnmem. There were some things s= which Mr. Roosevelt believed that Mr. Root did not believe in, but the president always knew how to dif- ferentiate and when Root could not ‘apeak from his heart omn a certaim legislative subject, Roosevelt would mot ask him so to do, but would send some one else into the field whose heart was really engaged in the mat- ter which the president wished pre- sented. 3 Strong in Friendships. Eliha Rool is a man of seeming con- tradictions. He ix spoken of frequent- ly as an ‘‘aristocrat,” but when he was secretary of state Mr. Root was as Pemocratic as any clerk in the de- partment. He absolutely refused to use the carriage and horses which the government put at his disposal and! Invariably walked back and forth te his work, disdaining in the coldest weather the use of an overcoat. For years Mr. Root has made a habit of wearing a flower in his button-hole and almost invariably it is a flower of a kind which grew in the old-fashioned gardens. The senator goes to his summer home on the top of Clinton Hill near Utica in April every year and there “makes garden.” He owns the house on Clinton Hill in which he was born. the house in which his fa. ther, Oren Rcot, lived for the half cen- ry that he was professor in mathe. ics in Hamilton college. Senator Root has strong personal friendships. Vice-President Sherman i8 one of the men who holds Mr. Root's strong liking. The senator is a member of the college fraternity known as the Sigma Phi. It is a small eollege brotherhood, the oldest, bar ving perhaps the Kappa Alpha, of all the Greek letter societies. There are are hang together better than do some Wrothers. Vice-President James 8. Sherman is a Sigma Phi and a grad, uate of Hamilton coliege. the alma ma- ter of Elihu Root. Senator Root is a strong partisan of President Taft and hopes to see him renominated. Former Secretary of the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, has come out for The odore Roosevelt, his former chief. Mr. Shaw was the great story teller of the Roosevelt cabinet. It is said that Ihe colonel once deeclared that Shaw was the author of the Arabian Nights, for he had heard him telli one thousand and one stories. Mr. Shaw'a stories are not of state, Wui of hw man interest. Shaw Sold Apple Trees. Mr. Shaw was Yankee born. He went west to grow up with the coum- try as (he time-tried sayivg has jt. He wished to study law, and in ordee te get the money to do studying, hé’ sold apple trees. 't ple trees. The farmers of the west; &8s another has put it, “in the long win-\ ter evenings found their mouths ws; tering for the succulent apples bof; the old eastern homestead. be remembered that most of fluLl early day farmers in lowa | were Yankees. were his long suit and he set out scores of the great orchards of Iowa. He dealt fairly and in ‘delivering th goods’ he made friends and becam known throughout the region.” For five years Leslie M. Shaw was a member of the cabinet. Every Tues- day and Friday he would walk from the door of the treasury through the White L.louse grounds to the door of the cabinet room. Invariably he had with him a little black portfolio “snuggled” under his arm. It still re. mains one of the mysteries of Wash- Ington what that portfolio contained. No other cabinet officer ever carried one. It was suggested time and again that the package held stories, but as Leslie M. Shaw never “sprung man- uscript” when telling a yarn it seems that this explanation of the contents of the mysterious black portfolic is lncorrect. They were good ap-¢ It musg; Shaw resolved that appies! o R N T Tl o N S - B B e i - e (N A F e i e S e R L S e iR R B e et B e S S S e Physician Claims Much for Prepara.| tion That He Asserts Has Re- newed His Life. The physician had once been a dys- | peptic. sour and morose; but his color was now ruddy and clear, his spirits light, and his health excellent. “Death bread,” he said, *laid me low. Death bread kept me a dyspep- tic for ten long, sad years. And life bread has made me my own buoyant, healthy, happy self again. “What do I mean by death bread?| 1 mean ordinary bread. Why do I call| it death bread? Because it is alive| with putrefactive germs—because, by more than one authority, the yeast| cells in it are sald to be identical with the diseased cells of pus—and, therefore, are a poison. i “Yeast, in fact, is as unhealthy as its sickly smell and musty, slimy con- sistency would lead you to believe. It is a mass of living germs—and along with these are mingled putre- factive germs. Yeast is a very harm- ful thing. It makes bread a very harmful thing. All bread made with yeast is death bread. { “Life bread—that is what I eat. I make it myself.

They pop, like popcorn, and, when all have popped—it is a matter of about ten minutes—my life bread is done. “Each grain of this life bread is a miniature, delicious loaf, brown and crisp, that falls to powder on being bitten. Life bread must be kept in air-tight tins. It is the health- iest, the most nourishing, and the best-flavored bread in existence. But it must be confessed that the loaves i | are rather small.” | MACHINE SHOP || We do general repair work of all kinds. Gasoline and steam «ngines a specialty.
