|OBRE t GON IS VERY.
 SICK MAN, HUNDRED.
Continued Absence From Off, flee Is Taken as Giving
 Credence to Reports
By Associated Press

Mexico City, November 2e.-Notwith- standing official statements that Gem eral Alvaro Obregon. the President-eIect of Mexico. is not seriously Ill, rumors are prevalent here that he is more than slightly indisposed. In some quarters the continued absence of the general from his downtown office, where he was accustomed to work seven hours daily, is taken as giving credence to the re- ports.
 General Obregon today cancelled sev- eral arrangements and simultaneously announcement was made that banquet planned for tomorrow in his honor by the confederation of chamber of conl- merce of Mexico and the United States had been postponed until. Monday.
 Several weeks ago the general was threatened with pneumonia and his con- tinued indisposition is thought to be a consequence of that attack.
 Fernando Torreblanca, private secre- tary to General Obregon, speaking to- day concerning the condition of General Obrfgon, said:
 General Obregon is quite 'well.''
 There is no indication that the plans for the inauguration have been altered because, of the state of health of the President-elect or that of Provisional President de La Huerta, who is now daily at the national palace following a threatened attack of appndicitis.
 The inaugural period, which will com mence December 1, promises to be the most festive in years. The government has taken over two of the principal ho- tels here for the entertainment of vis- iting American officials. According to the latest announcement of the foreign office. the American visitors will include B governors of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado. California, Alabama, Kansas, North Dakota, Wyoming, Mis- souri, Indiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
Landscape Architects Working on Grounds
of H. Fletcher Browns Residence.

Extensive improvements in the way OF
terracing, making Of walks, planting OF
trees, shrubbery and f]owers, are beng
made on the grounds of II. Fletcher
Brown, at the corner OF Eleventh and
Broome streets.
/, MIR. Brown sometime ago acquired oart
Of the grounds of the Rodney estate, on the
south Side of Eleventh, between Franklin
and Broome, and added IT to the grounds of
his residence. The part of the Rodney
estate secured by Mr.. Brown was that on
which stood the law Office, erected about
1900. THIS little old building was torn
away about two weeks ago, and the ground
rs now being terraced and arranged to make
part of the beautiful grounds Tor the home
of Mr.. Brown.
Considerable attention has been paid
to the preservation Of the splendid old
oak tree on the grounds. Tbs is one of the
finest old trees in Wilmington, its age
probably being greater than that of the
old Rodney house, still standing, which
was built before 1900. The most expert
tree surgeons that could be found have
given their attention to this tire, and it is
believed that with the treatment it has
received it will be an ornament to the
grounds and the city for many years to
come. j
The work of improving the grounds is
under the direction of the Roman Land

ments are as follows:
DIR. John w. Mullin, Wilmington: Il
do not prescribe whisky for my patients,
OF use Il In any way IN my practice.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsi6ed cocoanut oil sham
poo (which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this can't
possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsifed cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and few ounces is enough to
asst everyone in the family for months.
