American Tourists Who Are
Now In Paris


ton, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, co far
as the Paris idea is worth anything, is
to be the next President of the United
States. Newspaper men, diplomats and
statesmen with hardly an exception are
fianly convinced not only that Mr.. Roose-
welt will be a candidate for the presi-
dency in 1912, but that he will be elected
most enthusiastically.
In justice it must be said that this i'm
preston has been gained by nothing said
or done while the distinguished Amer
lean was in Paris. 1t is simply the
French way of looking at 1t. Any man
in France with the unbounded populari-
ty of Mr.. Roosevelt, and who has had
the honors showered upon him that have
come to the former President, since his
arrival in Europe, could no more have
been kept from the highest office in the
gift of the people than match touched
to petrol could have avoided producing
flame. Among the Americans the Paris

DR.. Doyen. whose Elixir of Life" has
set all Europe talking. is generally con-
sidered to be one of the wealthiest med
ical men In the world. In Paris it is
proveEbial that it is impossible for a
healthy man to get an interview with
him. His patients come from all parts
of the world; men and women from as
far as South America and New Zealand,
afflicted with the dread disease of can
Ger. have made their way to Paris to
consult him.
In appearance DR.. Doyen is a man
of middle size, broad-shouldered and fair
haired, with hard-set, determined lips.
His eyes are blue, keen, and inscrutable.
His hands, great, brawny, with thick.
spatulate fingers, have been describedDes
those of an aristocratic butcher.
All his operations are conducted in his
private hospital in six-storied build
Ing in the Rue Duret, where he employs
a large staff of trained nurses and a
number of experienced doctors.
OF recent years DR.. Doyen has had all
his more important surgical operations
cirematographed his object being to
leave exact records of his work for flu
ture surgeons. An enterprising firm, re-
furing to regard their responsibilities in
scientific spirit, had a number of the
films reproduced and sold to various
managers for the edifcation of Euro
pean audiences.
One Partisan lady, anxious to provide
a novel after-dinner entertainment for
her guests, had a cinematograph opera
