Roosevelt Leaves
For Boston; Begins
"InVaSion of East

NEW YORK. Feb. 24.-The "in-
vaslon of the East" personally con-
Quoted, began today when Colonel
Roosevelt, accompanied by his son,
Theodore. jr., and the latter's wife,
left at 10 o'clock for Boston where
the colonel planned a three days
stay. The ostensible reason for the
trip is a meeting of the Harvard
cverseers of whom the former Presi-
dent is one, but while in New Eng
land he will confer with his friends
and supporters in that locality.
The colonel was in genial mood
as he boarded the train, but insisted
that he had nothing to say regard
ing politics. lie was asked If he was
to confer with Governor Bass. of
New Hampshire, one of his chief sup
porters and hackers for the Repub-
lican nomination. in Boston tomor-
row. The colonel replied:
II don't know of any proposed
meeting with Governor Bass. Ger
tainly 1 have made no arrangements
to meet him. but, of course, if he
calls on me 1 shall be very glad to
sec him"

Tribute to the Stand

STANFORD, Conn.,, Feb. 24.-"Those
beniGhted persons who think Colonel
Reosecvlt foolish have another guess
coming" said II. s. Cummings, Demo-
cratic national committeeman from
Connecticut, today, in discussing the
co,oneIs Columbus address. Naturally
we are iuhlant over the break between
TIE colonel and President Taft, because
that makes for Democratic success next
fall But we are not deluded over the
Roosevelt position.
The difficulty with some OF our peo-
pie in the East Is that they do not
realize how far the people of the Middle
and Far West have gone with progress
I've policies. Roosevelt has, like the
clever politician he is, taken advantage
Of that knowledge. His Columbus
speech was strong and appealing, but
his suggestion to place the power of
judicial recall in the hands of the peo-
. rle is prepostecous and foreign to our
system of government.

3altimore nomination will be Governor

AFTER THE GRIP
PURIFY THE BLOOD
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Are the
Best Blood Builder and Will
Cure You as They Cured
This Woman.

1t is of the utmost importance to your
health, if you have suffered from the
grip, that you cleanse the blood of the
lingering germs and put it in condition
to resist disease.
After the acute attack the sufferer is
left with debilitated system, is short OF
breath upon the slightest exertion and
is affected by every change of weather.
The system is in such weakened con-
dition that it is powerless to resist the
attack of such diseases as pneumonia
and bronchitis.
This is condition which emphati-
cally calls for tonic for the blood. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose for they act di-
rectly on the blood which they cleanse
of all impurities. They tone up the
nerves and give health and strength to
the debilitated system.
The debility which follows an attack
of the grip can only be cured by max
ing the blood rich and red. This DR..
Williams Pink Pills never fail to do

the grip few years ago until took DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Before this had
found nothing that helped me. l was
all run down, pale and thin. My appe-
tite was poor and my head ached con-
tinually. Ididn't feel like myself at all.
Someone finally recommended DR..
Williams Pink Pills to me and found
them just the medicine for my case.
They gave me a hearty appetite and q
