Washinbton, Sept. 27 (By the AS
sociated Press) s).-Woodrow Wilson
fell sick man two years ago to-
day. Since then he has passed un-
der the shadow Of death and out of
the White House.
Thousands Of Americans of what
ever political faith recalled the an
niversary of the beginning of the
former presidents illness and won
dered what he was doing. Although
he no longer figures in the daily
headlines as he used to, Mr.. Wilson
still is "news." ~
Therefore it seems appropriate on
this occasion to tell the latest news
about him.
Mr.. Wilson besides following the
ways of a retired gentleman with a
lively interest in the worlds affairs,
lives by the eight hour day which
he once told congress was "adjudgcd
by the thought and experience of
recent years a thing upon which So
ciety is justified in insisting, as in
the interest of health, efficiency and
contentment.' He aims to have eight
hours for sleep, eight hours for
work and eight hours for relaxation
and keeps to the schedule pretty
fairly.
Seven o'clock in the morning is
about his rising time. He once
again shavcs and bathcs alone and
then takes some calisthenic excr-
ctises prescribed by his physicians as
beneficial in restoring the use of
nerves and muscles which were I'M
pared during his breakdown. He
has breakfast in Mrs. Wilson's bou-
DOR and finds that two years of i'll
ness and slow convalcsence have not
affected his appetite. The morning

burners used. Regulate the size Of
the flame. Turn the flame down after
the boiling point is: reached.
The. United States Department of
Agriculture advises using double boil
ers, steamers, and compartment YES
sells which fit over one burner. Cook
eggs OF small vegetables III the bot
tos part of the double boiler while Ger
cal is cooking In the upper part. A
colander or 4 wire Basket fitted over
saucepan makes good steamer;
steam vegetables such as carrots or
squash, in the colandcr1 while potatoes
are boiling in the saucepan.
Broiling and baking ovens: Use all
the oven space. If there is roast for
dinner, plan baked dinner; if quick
breads are beipr made, bake fruit or
dessert at the anne time. Bake as
much as possib.a at one time; this
saves both~fucl and time. Small toas-
tcrs and ovens that require only one
buSner save fuel.
Use the simmering burner sor slow
cooking. Cook in large quantities GER

long cooking but keep we'll. Covered

vaudeville show, his party taking
seats in the last row, and entering
and leaving with every effort to
| avoid ostentation. 1t rarely happens,
however, that somebody fails to dis
cover the visitors and a demonstra-
tions of handclapping always en-
sues. ...-s
Evenings at home, however, are
spent in the famil ycircles. The for
mer president and Mrs. Wilson read
book together, or perhaps Mrs.
Wilson reads aloud.
Sometimes it is one of the detec-
tive stories of which Mr.. Wilson was
said to be so fond. They do not now
form as a large as part of his read
ing as may have been the case years
ago. '...
He takes to bed early, not to sleep,
however, but to relax, to read and
much reading and writing in bed.
Propped up by pillows, and with a
little writing board across his knees
he reads and makes notes, some of
them voluminous and in shorthand.
Nobody knows what they are about.
He puts them carefully away. They
are not notes for book, which many
expect.
Not to Write Book
Unless Mr.. Wilson changes his
mind decidedly he will write no re-
else who has criticised his policies
A writer who has been given access
to Mr.. Wilson's paper, of which there
is most ton, is writing a book, but
it will be his own; not Mr.. Wilson'S
"pll give you any material l have
for your book" Mr.. Wilson told him.
cpl answer any questions you ask;
but it's your book. don't even want
to see what you write.
However the evening may be spent,
however tired he may be, there is
one thing the former president never
neglccts. 1t is the reading of few
verses of the Bible. When he says
good night he invariably reads aloud
some short passage from the book
which always rests on the reading
table at his bedside.
Friends and admirers ask, what is
Woodrow Wilson's real condition
now? ...-
He will be G5 years of age next De-
cember and has passed through an or
deal which few men survive. The
measure Of his progress toward health
must be measured with those facts
in mind. His normal weight in health
while he was president was 180
pounds. He showed little departure
from that figure now. His cyesight is
as good although he has discarded
his favorite noseglasscs for spec
tacles. His hair has turned snow
white, but it has not thinned. His
appetite is too robust to please his
physicians, Last March when he left
the White House with president elect
Harding an attendant had to place
his feet on each succeeding step from
the portico. The other day he sent
his attendant away and climbed
alone, not without some effort into
his automobile, just to see if he
could do it, and seemed pleased to
find that he could.

USE THE ALL-DAY FIRE
TO COOK SELECTED FOODS

Fuel saved is money saved When
slow coal or wood fire is kept all day
to heat the kitchen, select fiods that
require long, slow cooking. Beans,
peas, roasts, and puddings can be
baked in the oven and cereals can be
cooked in the double boiler on the top
of the stove. Broil by putting the
broiler through the door over the fire
box, rather than by taking off the lids
and cooling the fire.
With gas and oil stoves, reduce, by
carefn management, the number of
