TAFT GOES ON
SHOPPING TRIP
PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE IN
NEW YORK
INVADE FIFTH AVENUE WHILE
RAIN PoURs DOWN
Chief Executive and "First Lady of
the Land" Buy Many Christmas
Presents for the White
House Family
Associated PressI

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-President and
Mrs. Taft went shopping in Fifth ave-
nue. today. Rain poured down in tor
rents, the aftermath of a snow storm
last night, but this made no difference
to the president and his wife.
They arrived from Washington TINS
afternoon. and, entering automop1les
at the Jersey City station, came TO
New York by way of the Twenty-third
street ferry.
This incurson into the Fifth avenue
shopping district was planned on the
train.
1t was thought for a time the rain
might interfere with the plan, but
neither the president nor Mrs. Taft
would listen to the postponement. SO,
direct from the ferry house, they drove
through the pelting rain to jewelry
establishment on the upper avenue. A
police automobile preceded the presi-
dents car and a secret service machine
followed.
The advent Of the president at the
shop was entirely unexpected, and the
holiday throng forgot the problem Of
Christmas presents for the time when
word of the arrival of the distin-
guished newcomers spread about the
place.
Enter Private Room
The president, Mrs Taft and Mrs.
Laughlin went in a private room on
the main floor of the establishment
and a battery of statesmen was placed
at their disposal. Tray after tray of
glittering gold and silver trinkets was
borne into the room, and from these
a variety of Christmas presents for
the White House family were selected.
A watch for Charlie Taft, a bracelet
and other things for Miss Helen. schol-
arly presents for Robert Taft, who is
a Yale senior. and a score of gifts for
various members Of the Taft family
were purchased.
The president is spending the night
at the home Of his brother. Henry w.
Taft. He will go to New Haven to-
morrow to attend n meeting OF the
Fellow, and to be a guest OF the New
Haven chamber of commerce at a
banquet tomorrow night.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Laughlin will re-
main in the city shopping until
Wednesday or Thursday. The presl-
dent Will be back at the White House
Wednesday morning.
President Taft was the guest at din
ner tonight OF DIR. John Wesley Hill,
pastor of the Metropolitan temple,
where he met a number of distin-
guished churchmen OF all denomina-
tions.
The dinner was preliminary TO the
closing rally of the African diamond
jubilee celebration of the Methodist
church in Carnegie hall tonight, where
the president made one Of the prin-
cipal addresses.

struck his left foot against a table in
the wings with such force that his
ankle was fractured. He staggered a
few steps, then fell, unable to endure

THE DOCTORS

Some Advice Against the Use

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, "Are your bow

boEels and torpid liver. This condition
poisons the system with waste matter
and causes accumulation of gases.
which must be removed through the
| bowels before health can be restored.
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite,
Through their harsh, irritating action,
they force passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relief. The
repeated use of such treatments causes
chronic irritation of the stomach and
bowels, dries and hardens their tissues.
deadens their nerves, stiffens their
muscles, and generally brings about an
injurious habit which sometimes has
almost, if not fatal results.
