His former experience, when associated
with ID. G. Eliot and Mr.. Ackley of the
Field Columbian museum in collecting
big game animals in the same portions
OF Africa which Roosevelt will visit,
will be a valuable asset to the expe-

J. Alden Loring is field naturalist
whose training comprises service in the
biological survey of the department of
agriculture and in the Bronx geological

British Columbia, Mexico and the
United States. He is about SS years
old, of ardent temperament and in
tensely energetic. In August Septem-

first record for a travelling collector,
having sent into the United States mu

known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
