Special Dispatch TO The Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.-Thirty
feet of insulated wire lying close to
the floor in the old-fashioned dwelling
a 1881 Spruce Street constitutes the
medium through which modern po-
htical necromancer is seeking to gal
vanize into action the stalled steam
roller of the "Old Guard" at the Re-
publican convention in Chicago.
Senator Boies Penrose, held prisoner
in his home here by grave illness, is
still picturesque and potential fig
ure connected with the great quad
rennial gathering to select a standard
bearer for the Republican party.
The wire is connected at one end with
telephone convenient to Western
Union Telegraph operator in the sec
ond story front of the Penrose domi-
cile and at the other with like in
strument in the drawing room occupied
by the senior Senator himself.
King Implicitly Trusted
The man most frequently at the
other end in the Windy City is said
to be John 7. King, national commit
teeman from Connecticut. King was
refused custody of the Penrose proxy
but is functioning in the interest Of
the "Old Guard" 1t is no secret that
fenrose trusts King implicitly and
the latter is keeping the Pennsylvanian
in close touch with every move made
by the Keystone delegation and every
other body Of delegates.
In addition to the specially installed
long distance telephone there is a di-
rect telegraph wire to Congress Hall,
where the Penns ylvania delegation,
headed by Governor Sproul, is staying

lnent and Immediately reports to Pen
roses secretary, Leighton c. Taylor,

Miss Maude Wetmore also gave talks.
There are more women actively cam
palgning for Leonard Wood here than
for any other candidate except Gov
den supporters is explained by the
fact that this was the center of all
activity for Governor Lowden's candi-
dacy from the beginning. The Low
den workers are concentrated in Chi
cago.
Everywhere one turns there are
" ood workers offering buttons, bright
colored quilts and other campaign en-
blems. And the headquarters is an
example Of :equal representation for
women if there ever was one politi-

Mrs. Wood s Daily
RecepHonsPopular
Wife Of General Neuer
Makes Speeches, but
Wins Husband Support

CHICAGO. June 8.-A feature of the
crowded life OF the Congress Hotel
lobby is the daily reception of Mrs.
Leonard Wood at the headquarters
down at the end of Peacock Alley
Mrs. Wood is on aand every day at
4 O'Clock meeting the obscure and the
we'll known workers in her husbands
campaign. Does she hold their sup
port? Listen to this:
One OF the men she met was from
an agricultural district near Chicago.
He was in Chicago just looking around
at the convention, and through the
crowd at the Congress he finally was
shunted into the Wood headquarters
There he received the general welcome
and was introduced to Mrs. w ood. she
conversed with him a few moments
about everything in general except the
campaign. As he started to go he told
her:
II hadn't decided yet for whom was
going to vote, but I guess now it
will be the General. You look so
wholesome"
Since January Mrs. Wood has heen
in tie headquarters every day that she
was not out campaigning with her hus-
band. None Of the petty routine of
headquarters work is too small for her
to dc. The women who have been
managing the Leonard Wood headquar-
ters here swear by her She is never
tired, always pleasant and glad to talk
to the many persons who want TO meet
her. She never does any public speak
ing, but contributes valuable part
to her husbands popularity with rare
charm. Miss Harriet Vitum, head of
the women's division of the Wood cam
paign, says she IS great drawing

ing. brief message to the reporters
to-day:
Il feel confident that the Republi-
can convention will nominate a strong
man who will be triumphantly elected
next November.
Il am giving more attention to the
question of winning in November than
to the nomination itself.
That is the one thought that must
dominate in the choice of candidates
for President and Vice-President. 1t
Is absolutely necessary to have a
strong ticket, otherwise the Democrats
may win.
This fact, this necessity for a Presi-
Dental nominee who can hold the Re
publican states fast and who can pre-
sent a powerful appeal to the whole
people, must be the controlling idea OF
the convention"
Condition Is Improved
The Senator also announced that he
was feeling better than he has for q
long time. This was supplemented by
Secretary Taylor, who added that the
excitement Of his novel experiment OF
keeping in close touch with the con
vention by wire had reacted favorably
on the Senator and that his enthusiasm
was acting in the nature of a tonic
His physicians said that the cough
which distressed the Senator at times
did not disturb him on Monday nigh
and that he was greatly refreshed yes
terday morning by a sound night
sleep.
Dr. Alfred stengel was first on the
scene and said just before his de-
parture:

shape. When l arrived he was up ane

WHEN YOU WAKE
Up DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash poisons and toxins from
system before putting
food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb imptri-
ties into the blood, causing illness
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food taken into
the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste
material must be carried out of thA
body. If this waste is not eliminated
day by day 1t quickly ferments and
generates poisons. gases and toxins
which are absorbed or sucked into the
blood stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment.
splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in 1t. which
is harmless way to flush these poi
sons from the stomach, liver kidneys
and bowels: thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and freshening the ailmentary
canal before eating more food.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drns
store. but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside bathing.

THE HOMELESS

There is a rest for every living thing
The wide-wnged bird comes from the darkening sea
AT nghtfall to the quiet OF his nest;
The gray fox slips morning to his hole
Weary with many travels the grass
Creeps to his crevice home and is at peace.
But the wild souls that go the way of hate
They have no sheltering roof hiding place.
They wander, wander in night and rain
They tread the desert: for their wild hands
Have broken down the bright house of love-
The only covert for the heart of man.

On the way home he asked me

Perhaps because my nerves were

of his kindly inquiries.
That assistant prosecutor had sug-
