ROOSEVELT IS WISHING
HIS YEARS WERE LESS
Tells Close Friends He Would Like Decade Off
So as Better to Endure the Strain of
African Climate

President Roosevelt is telling some Of
his close friends that he wishes he
were ten years younger, IN order that
lie might the better endure the strain or
his forthcoming African trip.
Some of the Presidents friends are
saying that as he gets nearer to the
point of starting for Africa, he is not
entirely devoid Of apprehension lest nIs
health suffer from the arduous enter
prise of trailing down big game in the
heart Of the Dark Continent.
Mr. Roosevelt is the picture of perfect
health, and for d man Of his years is
remarkably strong. At the same time,
he realizes that he is no longer young.
and that the business Of going through
tropical Africa involves much wear and
tear The result is that Mr.. Roosevelt
is receiving a great many suggestions as
10 the care Of his health. and is be-
ing urged 70 take all sorts OF precau-
tions.
The Washington times., 1908-12-26

II might be supposed that man as
attached as the President is to outdoor
life, and a man who has taken the care
Of himself that MI. Roosevelt has could
SO through any sort of experience that
the heart of Africa could afford him.
And most Of the Presidents friends be-
lieve he will be able TO.
1t is well understood that tho African
trip, # Mr.. Roosevelt carries out his
purpose to bring down specimens OF
every variety Of big game. will mean
the spending of mUcn time in an un-
healthy climate. in swamps that reek
ith malaria, miaSma, and the like
Still, the President, whatever longing
he may have 10 have been able TO 80
through Africa as 4 younger man, IS
, not going to omit anything He is TAX
ing every precautiOn, and the majority
of his friends think that instead of hav-
ing his health in any way hurt by the
experience, He will be hardened to a
point where he can endure almost any
thing by the months Of Open-air life
