But that she should develop al

completeness of a trained nurse, the
tact of an experienced diplomat and
the resourcefulness of a professional

''No matter how much serious work
she did, she always kept her bright
timism that never failed here even
when the presidents condition was
gravest.
"She had shard task, too, to

work and diversion to allow him.

Joseph P. Tumulty, apparently far
from feeling that his nose has been
put out of joint by the First Lady's
assumption of secretarial services,

says if he "knew how to write" he
would like to "write a book about
Mrs. Wilson" so that people would

MRS. WILSON FINDS REAL HAPPINESS
NURSING PSESIDENT BACK TO HEALTH
Zoe Beckley Writes a
Heart Story From the
White House
81 Al~s<A1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-For a
solid year the First Lady of the Land
has shut up her beauty and her
charm in the sickroom and private
office of the president
There have been anxious days
many of them; but Edith Wilson
has BEEN happy in her hard role of
nurse and business woman-happier
some say, then ever before.
No Easy Place.
Sentimental Susie, signing to be
the wife of an iliustrious man, doesn't
realize that it is a lot easier and
more comfortable to be plain Mrs.
William Jones, of Blinkville.
It is never simple matter, being
a presidents wife.
At best it isn't all gaiety, pretty
clothes, ball and lovely trips to Eu-
rope.
At worst it is a job of sober service
that takes poise, patience tact,
brains, self-sacrifice and sturdy ply
steal stamina.
AS in Mrs. Wilson's case-unparal-
leled in White House history-the
test comes without waring,
bringing burden of work and anx-
iety that only an exceptional woman
can successfully carry. A woman,
say, whose entire character finds ex-
preston in one well-marked channel
"a love which is concentrated upon
one object.
In Mrs. Wilson's case it is her hus-
band. Ask anyone in Washington:
"What interests has the presidents
wife?"
"The president" is the invariable
answer.
"But what work appeals to herr"
"The presidents" is the reply.
Surely she has some pet ambition,
some"
"To make the president happy"
"Well, has she talents? Hobbies?"
eyes. Her talents are reading
aloud, playing golf, discussing hu-
man affairs, writing letters, analyz-
ing reports and pardon pleas, hunting
up good detective stories, supervising
the household, motoring and movies
all with, for an because of the pres
ident."
Surprised Many.
This devotion to the president took
a form that caused many seasoned
politician start of astonishment
about a year ago.
They know her for a charming
woman, with gracious Virginia-born
manners and a bright way of telling

Importancc Of Baby,s Bath.

Few things are of more I'm
portance to the infant than its
daily bath, according to DR.. M.
P. Ravenel of the School of Med
icine of the University of Mis-
souri,. The bath can be given in
a basin or small bath tub soon
after birth, as soon as the ma
vel has healed.
The bath room should be pro-
tected from draughs. Every
thing, including the clothes for
use after the bath, should be
at hand so that as soon as the
bath is over the child may be
dressed without any danger of
being chilled.
For the first two months the
temperature of the bath water
should be approximately 100 de-
grees. After that time it may be
reduced until the second year,
when it may be from 50 to 80
degrees. The temperature should
not be guessed at, but taken
with d thermometer. Soft gauze
is better for washing than a
sponge, as sponges become very
foul.
The daily bath should be CIV

about an hour before eating and
some time after feeding. Chill

their bath and most Of them dc

The Spa correspondent Of the Paris

lowing are the chief terms for peace

POLAND shall renounce any i'm
perialistic policy and withdraw her
armies to the Brest-Litovsk-R -Rovno

EFF the Russian army advances
nearer than thirty miles to this line
the allies will give 'wholehearted
support" to Poland.
3-Envoys of Russia, Poland, Fin
land, Lithuania, and Esthonia shall
meet in London.
(According to advices from Moscow
and Warsaw, the Polish troops are
already on the Rovno-Brest-Litovsk
line In its southern end and are swift
ly approaching it's northern end. The
Russians are in contact with the Poles
over this whole front.)
"Pertinax," political editor Of the
Echo de Paris, says that Premier Mil
lerand consented to a continuation OF
the Spa conference with the Germans
on conditions that the Germans con-
sented to deliver 1900, 900 tons of coal
monthly to France and that the allies
reject the German plan for the re-
storation of the liberated regions that
were devastated during the war.
