President Wilson said when he first
came to Washington that he proposed
to get nine hour sleep every night or

times he sleeps as long rs 10 hours,
and while he was laid up with a cold

who can throw Off fatigue or slight
ailments by sleep, a faculty that has
saved many a hard worked public man
from breakdown. Judging by what Is
said by those surrounding him at the
White House, he Is undoubtedly the
hardest and best sleeper who ever slept
in the bed OF the chief executive.
Neither Of his immediate predecessors,
Taft or Roosevelt, was a long sleeper.
They both were in the habit OF going
to bed late at night. or rather early
in the morning, and Of getting up not
later than 1880 or 8 o'clock. They were
both very sound sleepers also, neither
requiring moro than seven or eight
hours a night to keep him in good
trim.
Mr.. Taft, however. had a habit not
characteristic Of Colonel Roosevelt, of
taking a cat-nap at any hour OF the
day that he felt like 1t, no matter
what his surroundings. Often he would
go to sleep in his office chair after the
days work was done, and those who
Travelled with him on the long trips he
used to take, say that 1t was a mat
ter of almost daily occurrence for him
to go to sleep while sitting bolt up
right in n chair in his private car.

ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY

Roxbury, Ohio.-"When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking
out IN his cheeks. The eczema began
just with plmples and they seemed to
itch so badly he would scratch his
face and cause a matter to run.
Wherever that matter would touch 1t
would cause another pimple until 1t
spread all over his body. 1t caused
disflgurement while it lasted. He had
fifteen places on one arm and his
head had several. The deepest places
on his cheeks were as large as a sill
yer dollar on each side. He was SO
restless at night we had to put nit
tens on him to keep him from scratch
ing them with his finger nails. If he
got a little too warm at night it
seemed to hurt badly.
I'VE tried a treatment and he didn't
get any better. He had the eczema
about three weeks when we began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l

NEUTRAL ATTITUDE
BRINGS PROBLEMS
TBY LEASED WlRE.l

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Neutrality
il the European war is today proving
a problem for government officials
that is more perpIexing than any they
have faced for many years. Since the
issuance of the proclamation by Presi-
dent Wilson these officials whose duty
1t is to enforce 1t, have found many
kinks, and especially in its relation to
the foreign trade and more are devel-
oping as consideration of the situation
progresses.
In the big wheat crop Of this coun-
try lies the chief source of worry 10
officials of the treasury and commerce
departments. Within a few weeks
these products will be ready for ship
ment abroad and the foreign nations,
especially those at war, will be clamor-
ing for IL.
Then will come the trouble for the
government. Can the United States,
as a neutral. permit this wheat to be
shipped to belligerents? Will it be
contraband of war?
Those questions are puzzling the Of
ficials and they are holding daily con-
ferences to determine what to do, and
wheat is only one of the many Ameri-
can products that may be declared con-
traband.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Mrs. Wood
row WILSON, wife of President Wilson,
who is CRITICALLY Ill at the White House
from a. complication of nervous all
ments, was reported to be slightly
stronger today following a compare
lively restful night.
The first lady of the land was con-
scious only at intervals, however, and
it WIS found necessary at times to as
sist her respiration by artificial stimu-
lants. 1t was admitted at the White
House that there was grave doubt Of
her recovery. Two physicians were on
watch constantly and the president
and other members of the family were
at the bedside until assurances from
the doctors induced them to retire.
Keep Illness Secret.
The news Of the seriousness Of Mrs.
Wilson's illness came as distinct
shock to Washington and the nation.
Not even the inner circle of society
knew the real state of affairs in the
White House sick room.
Weakened by winter of heavy So
cial duties, Mrs. Wilson last March
suffered a fall in the White House
which injured her spine. She was fore
ed to undergo an operation and appar-
emily was we'll on the way to recovery
when further complications attacked
her.
