.DR. CRIMSON HAS
 TASK OF KEEPING WILSON HEALTHY

Admiral Grayson is the one partic- ular person in the Presidents official family who has unconditional and un- measured entree to Mr. Wilson's pres ence. He watches the physical condi- tion of the President as a hawk watches over the safety of it's young It never is necessary to send for this doctor. He always is, or momentarily will be somewhere in the immediate vicinity. Nor is the President ever interrupted or at all distur%ed by the doctors coming and going.
 Even though the President may be in the throes of creative labor as he concentrates his mind upon the writ ing of an important message or be engaged in the momentous task of working out the solution of an inter national problem involving millions of men and billions of dollars, yet Dr Grayson may walk in unannounced and lay a professional hand upon the Presidents pulse, or turn his head to note the appearance of his eyes or to detect a possible suspicious flush of the face. And if there are discov- cred untoward conditions to warrant it, the doctor may say, Stop! The indicator shows symptoms of trouble brewing, and we are going to do something about it''
 Dr. Grayson may order the Presi- dent to relax by taking a walk in the White House grounds, or to go for a motor ride to get a fresh supply of neded outdoor air, or to take a canter on his horse to shake him up and stimulate the activities of the nerve centers, or to go to the links for a game of golf to distract and ease his mind for the moment or, should the weather conditions prohibit outdoor | activity, to take @ turn at some in- door exercise to increase and quicken the circulation, to take hot bath and a rub to accelerate the processes 1 of elimination, or if the conditions warrant, he may even go so far as to order him to go to bed, and to stay there until whatever the cause of the disturbance may be is under control. But, whatever the order, the Presi- dent obeys at once and without ques- ton.
 Dr. Grayson is a radical exponent | of system; system in work, in play, in eating, in thinking, reading, study, in sleeping, recreation, exercise-system | in the entire scheme of life. There fore, the Presidents life is completely and scientifically systematized, and he practices this system with almost machine-like regularity. In fact the President not infrequently has been called a machine. But he is not. He is very human.
 Everything that surrounds and con- cerns the movements of the President is run upon system which makes

 working system to big electrical plant. of which he is the center and
 of which Secretary Humility is the
 director general, the connecting line
 with the outside world.
 Secretary Tu1nulty thoroughly un-
 derstands the President both from a personal and an administrative stand point, and he thus is able to make all of the various details of the system
 successfully coordinate. There is a
 very close. and intimately human as well as executive cooperation be tween the President and MT. Tu- multy, The President IS saved the
 burden of worry about routine de-
 tails. because they are kept away from him. It is a part of the system
 Ito arrest all such details before they
 reach the President, for that inevi-
 tably would involve that sort of dis
 traction from concentrated thought
 and labor which ultimately would be iniurions to his health.--FTom '"Tht , Presidents Health Message b1 ; Richard M. Winans in March Physica Culture.
