LUMBER Here’s a Guarantee
Don’t take chances on Roofing, for
riVMri’Mrn you can now have roofing insurance.
C&mibn 1 J-M Regal Roofing is absolutely guar
anteed against leaks due to defects in
the roofing.
And that guarantee is as good as a
aLATH government wind, for it's signed by the
~ makers, a $3,000,000.00 company.
ShiholJ-M Regal Roofing
is made entirely in the Regal people’s
own mills. They know the quality of
every square inch of it. That’s why
they can guarantee it. r
AMIWUD They make the wool felt—know that
It is the best quality, long-llbred wool.
They refine and process their own
asphalt—get it direct from Lake Trini
PLAIN dad. No man has yet found anything
else half as good for waterproofing.
So here is a roofing that is proof
AND against the broiling sun, against enow
and rain, freezing and thawing, tho
oxygen in the air and the other things
GOLDEN which so soon ruin other wool felt roof
ings. J-M Regal Roofing is also highly
fire-re3isting.
OAK Samples are free; abo an interesting
book on roofing.

Col. Roosevelt, a
Striking Figure in
National Politics
NEW YORK, August 12.—Roose
velt is without a doubt the most pic
turesque figure in American public
• life today.
' His name suggests a thousand and
one unique activities—entertaining of
Booker T. Washington in the white
house; carrying around a black eye as
president, which black eye he received
• in a boxing encounter with a regular
■ prize fighter employed as trainer; re
j former of spelling; the man who or-1
jdered army officers to ride 90 miles I
i a day at least one day a year—and !
I then went and did such a stunt him- i
’self to prove it wasn’t a hardship;!
imost voluminous message wG‘- ■ 'hat
ever occupied the presidency; inventor!
of the Ananias club; winner c: a libel
suit against a Michigan editor who in- j
sinated that he was a drinker; posses-;
sor of the right, by court judgment, to
call William Barnes a “political boss,”
i anti-race suicide preacher.
Roosevelt either coined or inspired
the phrases; “Bwana Tumbo”; the
(“return from Elba”; “Armageddon”;
and “Americanism.”
| Although now preaching the gospel
of preparedness and inveighing
|against peace at any price, Colonel'
Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel
peace prize while president, and he
was a peacemaker in the Russo-Jap
war a. well as between the anthracite
miner.- and their employers.
! Two famous strains of American
blood course through his veins—that
of the Bullocks of Georgia, and the
sturdy, tenacious strains of Glaes
Martaen zen von Rosenvelt, I>utch
burgher, who came to Nieuw Amster
dam two years after Peter Stuyves
ant.
Martha Bullock, the colonel’s moth
er, was a daughter of the Admiral
Bullock who so gallantly fought for
the “Lost Cause.”
Theodore Roosevelt was horn on
October 27, 1858, in New York. He
entered Harvard in 1S7C, a weak, sick
ly, near-sighted boy. He determined
to make himself strong and nealthy
and by rigidly pursuing a series of
exercises he did. When he left Har
vard it was with the title of light- |
weight boxing champion of the uni
versity.
He was married at 22, to Alice Lee,
of Boston. He didn’t have to work,
having inherited $100,000 but his dy
namic energy demanded it, so he
started out to be a writer.
He gravitated to politics because it i
gave him a chance to get real action.
His first public office was as an as
semblyman.
He rose through his fighting abili
ty and utter independence of thought
and action. In 1884 he was delegate
to the national convention. Then his
wife died, and Roosevelt, greatly
stricken, moved out to the west, tak
ing a ranch on the little Missouri in
Dakota.
Two years later his party demand
ed him in New York to help win and
he aided. Five years later he went to
Washington as a civil service commis
sioner. Five years there and he re
turned to New York as police commis
sioner.
In 1897 he was appointed assistant
secretary of the navy. When the call
came for volunteers in the Spanish
American war, Roosevelt resigned to
take the field as lieutenant-colonel of
a regiment of the men he liked best
—cowboys.
The war ended, New York demand
ed him as governor and then the call
as vice-president. The vice-president
was hunting in the Adirondacks in
1901 when the fateful word was
brought to him that McKinley had
been shot to death.
The next day he was in Washing
ton, pledging himself to carry out the
policies of his predecessor.
