WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-Investi-
cation by The United Press in an
effort to ascertain just how i'll Presi'
dent Wilson is, and whether the
many rumors with regard to his con-
dition have any foundation in fact, to-
day showed the following results:
I. Officials In close touch with
persons who frequently see the presi-
dent declare they believe he will be
back at his desk transacting execu-
tive business within a month or six
weeks.
2. No matter what may have caused
his illness, he is getting we'll now
and has been showing steady i'm
provement for the last week, accord
ing to the best information at the
white house.
8. Senators who are in good stand
ing at the white house, and who are
presumed to have access to inforra-
tion there, say he is at the present
time handling some executive mat
ters.
q. Reports that he never will COM
pIeteIy recover, and suggestions that
president take his place are con-
political torpedoes designed to shake
the faith of his supporters in him
and in the league of nations.
S. Although there has been no Of
ficiaI denial of the reports that he
suffered a lesion Of the brain, a
blood cIot or apopIexy, the impress
sion given is that what caused his
illness is not the main consideration
now; that he is on the road to re-
covery, and that is the most imPor.
tant fact in the case.
6. The belief that Wilson will be
back at work within six weeks Is not
generally shared. One senator who
is supposed to be in touch with the
white house thought he would be
laid up three months.
7. Believing that the official state
ments on Wilson's condition have not
been sufficiently informative, some
senators friendly to the president
are privately discussing the advis-
ability of recommending that full
statement be issued to reassure the
country.
Information as to the presidents
actual condition, if it is to be cred
tied, naturally must originate with
persons who have seen him recently.
The persons who have seen him re-
Gently are his four doctors, Cary T.
Grayson, Sterling Ruffn, r. x. Der
cum and E. D. Stitt, Mrs. Wilson,
Margaret Wilson and the trained
nurses. Therefore, it will be seen
that the field for Investigation Of
original sources is limited. These are
the only ones who really know at
first hand what Wilson's condition is
at present.
With regard to his mental state
one who has talked with him within
the last few days said:
His brain is as clear as yours"

GERS here said today there was

have made Gary their headquarters

Army men refused to go further
than stating they believed some OF
the plotters were under arrest. De-
tails of the attempted reign of ter
ror and the motives back OF 1T were
withheld.
Incendiary literature scattered
over Gary was said to have been
printed in Chicago. No print shop
here would admit handling the ap-
neal of "the communists" for an up
rising such as had taken place IN
Russia.
The man who made the bmbs. mail.
ed under the vGimbel Brothers
label, is now reported to be unaer

confederates are still at liberty.
Colonel w. S. Mapes refused to
discuss the arrests. He declared his
efforts to run down all suspects had
been seriously hampered by publlca
tion of the fact that he was close on
the trial of the alleged plotters.
All men arrested SINCE the mill
tary assumed control of the situation
are held incommunicado. paul
Glaser, attorney for the striking
steel workers was refused pernlls-

Colonel Mapes declined to give out

Previously, however, he had IN
formed newspaper men that the
maker of the Gimbel bombs was
among the men taken INTO custody.
The man is said to have been 1den-
tilted by the peculiar construction OF
hombs found in the basement OF his
home, resembling fragments OF the
Internal machine which exploded on
the doorstep of Attorney General "a.

ton.
The bomb maker, according 20 1e-
norts. was regularly employed in Inc
steel mills at Gary until the s'i:ke
was called and was one OF the most
violent agitators in connection with
the strike before arrival OF federal
troops.

Secretary TumuIty, whose manner
was strikingIy depressed at first,
seemed to be quite his old self to-
day, and in talking to friends gave
an impression of optimism. The presi-
dents aiIment, according to Dr.. Cray
son, is nervous exhaustion. The prin-
cipaI danger-and this danger is said
to still exists that the nervous
exhaustion might lead to nervous
prostration, or something even moro
serious. The remedy is rest.
Physicians say that in many cases
of nervous exhaustion a deep dis
appointment, shook, or mental over
exertion, may. cause relapse.
While Wilson must remain in bed
for an extended period, this does not
necessarily mean that he cannot
consider executive business, even
though in bed, it was pointed out
Wilson, it was learned, is aware
of the suggestions that have been
made that he step aside In favor Of
the vice president, and resents them.
In spite of this, some senators
friendly to him have said privately
they thought it would be a good
move for Wilson himself, If he faces
g. Iona period of illness, to ask Mar
shall to act for him temporarily.
Had Restless Night.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.--President
Wilson's condition this morning was
good, although he did not have rest
full night, according to statement IS
sued by his physicians at 12:15 p. M.
The statement said:
"Tke president did not have rest
full night last night His reslessness
was caused by swelling of the pros
tate gland, condition from which he
has suffered in the past and which has
been intensified more or less by his
lying in bed. His general condition,
however, is good. AS noted yesterday,
his temperature, pulse, respiration,
heart action and blood pressure are
normal
The statement was signed by Drs.
Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt. A special
ist may be called in to consult regard
ing the swelling of the gland, it was
stated.
Dr.. Grayson said the condition des-
cribed in his bulletin is not uncommon
to men Of advanced years and should
not be regarded as a serious affection.

An acid-stomach cannot digest food properly. Instead, the food sours and ferments and, passing into the intes- tines, becomes breeding place for countless millions of deadly germs toxic poiscns they are called. These poisons are absorbed into the system and cause untold misery. So, you see, it is just acid-stomach, nothing else
 that makes so many people weak, listless and unfit; saps their strength and energy; robs them of their vigor and vitality.
