Had Shown Marked Improvement

New York, Ian. 6.-On the day
before Christmas when Colonel
Roosevelt left the hospital here to
spend the holiday in Oyster Bay Miss
Stricken said. he was in slight pain
at intervals, but apparently was far
from being seriously i'll. On the Sat
urday previous to his departure for
his home he had dictated articles for
the Kansas City Star and other pub
lications from II a. m. until 2 p. m.
He ate well and slept like a child.
SO marked had been his improve
mcnt under the regimen provided at
the hospital that Mrs. Roosevelt,
who at the beginning remained with
her husband continuously, was inn
portuned by him to rest. She went
to Oyster Bay, returning two or
three times a week to visit him and
bring him table delicacies OF which
he was especially fond.
Two separate blood tests had been
made at the hospital, one by DR.
Richards, and the other by Dr. Hart
well, each of which confirmed the
diagnosis OF the other. These tests
it was said, indicate that the colonel
was entirely free from any organic
disease and that his only trouble
was the inilammatory rheumatism
This ailment was only pronounced in
his left leg, but at times it affected
one OF his hands and arms.
III YOU could see the tray full OF
food that is sent into Colonel Roose-
velts room at dinner time" said a
friend OF the family, you would
think he was certainly on the mend
He has the appetite of a vigorous
healthy schoolboy.'
Blood pressure tests, it was said
showed that the patient had arteries
of man of 40 instead of % years.
One OF the things that is believed
to have contributed more than any
other to the colonel's breakdown
was the death last July of his son
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, the avi.
ator, in action in France. Proud oI
his heroic sons achievements, Col.

Colonel Died About AIS A. M.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Jan. 6.-The
time of Colonel Roosevelt's death
was AIS a. m, as nearly as can be
determined, for there was no per-
son at his bedside at the moment he
passed away. A minute or two be-
fore, his attendant, James Amos, the
young colored man who has been
in the employ of the colonel ever
since he LETT the White House, no
ticed that the patient was breathing
heavily in his sleep, and went to call
a nurse. When he returned with her,
the former president was dead. Mrs.
Roosevelt was summoned immedi-
ately.
Announcement that pulmonary
embolism was the cause OF Colonel
Rooseyelt's death was made by w.
Emlen Roosevelt, quoting DR.. Hart
well. He said Mrs. Roosevelt's de-
sire was that her husband "be buried
as a private citizen and for this
reason the funeral would be private.
The colonel's two sons abroad,
Kermit and Theodore, lr., are re-
spectively officers with the Amer
ican forces in France and the army
OF occupation.

Ailment Due to Infected Tooth

DR.. Richards revealed in his
statement that the coloneIs in
flamatory rheumatism, from which
he suffered acutely at times, was
traceable 20 years back to an in
fected tooth. This infection spread
to nearly all the joints in the col
onel's body as the years went on.
Denial was made by Dr. Richards
OF statements which have been pub
lished from time to time that Col
onel Roosevelt suffered from sciatic
as well as rheumatism.
The physician asserted also that
the colonel never had suffered from
mastoiditis, as was reported when
he went under an operation about
a year ago for an abcess OF the in
ner ear. and that neither this op-
Grafton nor the fever which he con-
tracted while in South America on
hunting trip could be considered
in any way a contributory cause
toward his death.

then said that Cuba could pro

We must confess that we are
mad with President Wilson and
intend to tell him so the first
time we meet him. He is alright
when it comes to winning a great
war and sitting at the peace table
and bringing order out of chaos,
and in his heroic efforts to give
the world the League of Nations
by which we may hereafter pre-
vent wars, but he vetoed the act
repeating the Daylight Saving
Law. the greatest and most un-
necessary farce ever perpetrated
upon the people, especially since
the war is ended. 1t would dc
our soul good to see Congress
carry it over his veto. The days
should stand divided in the mid.

the way God intended it should

A HORSES APPEAL.

Every lover of horses will be
interested in the following APP
peal that the Boston Sunday
Post recently printed. 1t is as
follows:
"To thee my master, l offer my
PRAYER.
"Treat me as a human being,
not as a machine. Feed me, wa
ter and care for me. and when
the days work is done, groom
me carefully; for, remember, a
good grooming is equivlent to half
feed. Clean my feet and legs
and keep them in good condition,
for they are the most important
part Of my body.
"Pet me sometimes. BE al
ways gentle to me, so that ! may
serve you the more gladly, and
learn to love you.
"Do not jerk the reins. Do
not whip me when am going up
hill. Do not force me out Of my
regular gait, or you will not have
my regular strength when you
want it. Never strike, beat or
kick me when I do not understand
what you mean; but give me a
chance to to understand you.
Watch me; and if | fail to do your
bidding, see if something is not
wrong with my harness or feet.
"Don't draw the straps too
tight; give me freedom to move
my head. Don't make my load
too heavy, and, oh, | pray thee,
have me shod every month.
"Examine my teeth when | do
not eat. | may have some teeth
too long, or | may have an ulcer
ated tooth, and that, you know, IS
;ery painful. Do not tie my head
in an unnatural position, or take
away my best defense against flies
and mosquitoes by cutting off my
tail

7 am thirsty; so give me pure
cold water frequently. Do all
you can to protect me from the
sun, and throw cover over me
when | am working, but when
am standing in the cold.

the work you require Of me, and

speaking of Chamberlain's Collie

William Whitelaw, of Des Moines
Iowa. "He told me in detail OF
what it had done for his family,
but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point Of
death with a violent attack OF
dysentery, and had been given up
by the family physician. Some Of
his neighbors advised him to give
Chamberlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. which he did, and
fully believes that by doing SO
saved the life Of his child. He
stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally
gratifying results.

mands immediate consideration
bv the sugar producing commun-
ity.
1t is somewhat difficult to ascer-
tain the views Of the sugar pro-
ducers who have been harassed
of last years crop and by the diff
ficulties in the planting and cul-
tivation of the present growing
crop but now they must either ac-
cept or release themselves from
the somewhat uncertain conclu-
sions of the United Ctates Equal
za.ion Board and of the local
Louisiana Board, which may or
NAV not have as much control and
influence in the disposal OF the
coming crop as they had in the
control and disposal of the last
crop, the. one now closing. The
Louisiana committee did very
satisfactory work this last season
and deserves general commenda-
ton. II secured full control Of
certain territory for the disposal
Of Louisiana sugar, but was cut
off from these other territories
where Louisiana sugars have been
favoriteS for many years, and f)r
special purposes. 1t would seem
to us. that these matters should be
all promptly considered and that
the American Cane Growers AS
ISOLATION under whose auspices
the present control has been e5-
tablishad and was benefclally
modified. should now take the
present situation in hand and
either get a 60 or 80 days extern
sion Of the option granted them in

tive conclusion as to their expec-
| tations Of the value Of the sugar
