But without summoning her family and in
her characteristic independent manner she
struggled with the malady alone. except
for the aid Of the servants until today,
when she was reported to be a little better
and able to sit up. Great care is still need
ed, however. 1t is believed that Mrs.
Grant was for several days in a very criti-

ness was unknown to the public. Few per-
sons who know her seemed to be aware
even that she had returned to the city.
Literally, the former first lady of the land
and mistress of the White House has been
alone in her home during her struggle with
a menacing malady, at the age of three
score and ten. AS often happens in fam

The Uses of Olive Oil.

According to United States Consul Ran
dal at Beirut. in a report to the State De-
partment, olive oil has many uses, but
more substitutes, and few salads are COM
pounded without the aid of one of them
Cotton-seed oil is a favorite substitute, but,
according to an Egyptian newspaper, this
is soon to find sturdy rival in the form
of the seed of the sunfiower. Experiments
made by German chemists have convinced
them, 1t seems, of the availability of this
cheap raw material, and it may shortly be-
come valuable article of commerce 1t is
