WASHINGTON. Oct. There was
every indication tonight that the
President was continuing to improve.
With his appetite restored and his
nerves so soothed without artificial
aid that he is getting considerable
rest, the optimistic bulletins which
have marked the past few days con-
tinued to come from his attending
physicians.
The principal fear of the doctors in
attempting to guide the President
back to full health and strength is
that their patient himself will do more
to hamper them than any other factor.
The Presidents evident chafing at the
continued absolute inaction deemed
SO important in his treatment may
result in Mr.. Wilson worrying him
self into a highly critical state again.
White House Bulletins.
These bulletins were issued at tho
White House:
10 Pm.
The President had a comfortable
day and Is slightly improved.
1880 A. NJ.
The Presidents improvement has
continued. His appetite Is decid-
edly better and he is sleeping well.
The bulletins were signed by Drs.
Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt.
While Chairman Lane of the indus
trial conference limited to-day that the
DN.n daN.R T. III
before the windup of the deliber atoms
of the conference and deliver a message
to the delegates Drs. Grayson, Stitt
and Ruffin are determined that Mr.
Wilson will do nothing of the sort.
1t is no part of their plan to permit
the President even to think Of return
ing to his public duties in anything
like so brief time.
Weather Change Beneficial.
The end of the sultry spell which
has prevailed here resulted In Mr..
Wilson enjoying a refreshing sleep
last night. Long hours OF sleep will
do more than anything else to rem
edy Mr.. Wilson's shattered nerves.
When the President awoke this morn
ing he was said to be cheerful. but again
fretting because he was kept in bed So
many affairs in which he has taken a
tremendous interest are just at critical
stages now that hts doctors recognize
the fact that this impatience under
treatment is to be expected. They are
striving IN every way they can to keep
Mr.. Wilson perfectly calm.
While each bulletin that has come from
the White House for several days has
indicated the steady improvement of the
President under the rest cure" treat
ment prescribed by his physicians there
Is still extreme anxiety here and there
is as yet no thorough guarantee that
the President will continue his encour-
aging progress toward health without
any setbacks The nature OF his illness,
while II has not been specifically de-
scribed by any Of his physicians, Is in
dicated by them to be such that all
danger is far from being passed.
However. in and about the White
House. there Is a distinctly more cheer
full tone apparent than was the case
when DR.. GraySon FIRST called in the
other physicians to consult with him
DR.. Grayson's assurances to the Cabinet
yesterday are generally believed to have
prompted Mr.. Lane to predict to-day
that the President might yet address
the Industrial conference. This straw,
one of the few available indications OF
the real state of Mr.. Wilson's health
was seized upon generally here to-day
to indicate that the report on Mr.. VIII
sons condition made to the Cabinet
meeting was more encouraging than the
official bulletins have been.
Wilson's Daughters Depart.
Mrs. william C. McAdoo and Mrs
Francis B. Sayre. daughters of the
President. who were called to the White
House last week. departed for their
homes to-day after consultations with
the physicians attending their father,

celency, the President OF the United
