Promptly at 12 o'clock noon, tn

Promptly at 12 o'clock noon. the president ond Mrs. Wilson, members of the White House staff that are not on duty and any friends of Mrs. Will sons that may be at the house, go to the East Room of the White House, where they constitute the audience for a motion picture show. The pro- gram of this show is changed daily and producers fight for the opportu- nifty of making a premiere of their
 pictures at the White House.
 At 1 o'clock President Wilson has
 his luncheon, which may be called the heaviest meal of the day. The lunch con might be more properly called
 midday dinner, as it is served in | courses and is attended by more for maity than any other meal. Dr. Gray son allows the president Q wide lati-
 tude in this meal, his only restrictions being against too rich food. fat meats, | gravies and rich desserts or sweets. Coffee is also forbidden at this meal. 1 After luncheon MT. Wilson takes a nap until o'clock when he and Mrs. 1 Wilson go on daily motor ride about | the city, through the parks and into l the surrounding country. Regardless l Of the weather unless it is raining, | the motor trip is made in a big open | car with the top down. The president
 dresses warmly and wears a golf cap: 1 In rainy weather a limousine is used 1 if the president wishes to go out, but he does not care to make long trips | in a closed car.

If he is | attracted by the headlines he reads the article. if not he gIances through
 the sheet and turns his attention to | the next one. In the hour that he
 gives himself for this purpose the
 president reads the leading papers
 from all sections of the country.
 At o'clock he has dinner with Mrs.
 Wilson. Som etimeS this meal is serv ed in the little breakfast room, but or
 dinarily it is eaten in the family din- ing room near the state dining room.
 This meal is a light and simple one
 without meat of any kind. After din- ner the president watches a game of
 pocket billiards between Mrs. Wilson and Dr. AxSon in the billiard room or goes to his own chamber, where, ii
 the weather is cool, he will sit for hal1 an hour or so before the open fireplace l before retiring for the night.

 Washington, Jan. 14.-President Wilson's continued daily improvement in health, slow and to the untrained eye of the layman, imperceptible as it really is, is due in no small meas ure to his faithful and rigid adher- erce to a prescribed daily routine ac- cording to shis physician and friend, Rear-Admiral Gary T. Grayson. v Admiral Grayson has had complete charge of the presidents health from the time he entered the White House eight years ago and has treated him until his last serious illness on the Chinese theory that the duty of doctor is to keep his patient from be- coming sick He succeeded with this theory through all the strenuous years of the Wilson administration until the jlI-fated western tour which cullnl- mated in the entire physical break down of the chief executive on Sep cember 2S, 1919. Dr. Grayson mas always felt that this breakdown was caused in a large measure by the in ability of Mir. Wilson to observe his carefully prepared routine, diet and exercise on account of living aboard a railroad train.
 With the .convalescence of the pres ident, Dr. Grayson resumed his rou- tine and is slowly building the pres1- dent up to at least a semblance of his old-tirne health. The daily routine oi tbe president under Dr.. GraySon's s ruidance varies but little. The pres ident rises at o'clock and slaves himself with a safety razor. After a bath, he goes through series of r,hvs5ical exercises patterned after the army calesthenics or setting up exer- tcises Breakfast is served at 8 o'clock Fin a small dining room leading off ffrom his bed chamber. Mrs. Wilson Always joins the president at break Hast. MT. Wilson eats a rather hearty treakfast consisting generally of a #lass of orange juice, fruit. cereal Xrgs. toast and coffee.
 "F,rom breakfast the president goes q directly to his study, where he labors ,Indisturbed until II o'clock. It is the rresident's rigid rule to stay at his desk until it is cleared of all matters reoI1iring his attention. No one is allowed to disturb him and only his personaI stenographer, Charles L Swem, is admitted to the study while the president is disposinG of his morn ing routine. In this manner he is en abled to do an immense amount O. work promptly.
 From Il to 12 noon, if it is no raining, the president takes an ope1 q air sun bath on the south portico O the White House, warmly wrapped t
 guard against catching a. cold. MT H Wilson sits in his wheel chair, whil ]. Mrs Wilson reads aloud to him. F'ron

!. SEANCES THAT FAILED

From Letter by Elihu Thomson to the |
Weekly Review.
ROFEssOR LEO VIEWERS 'Psy-
w chic "reminiscences in your is
* sue of March 16 strikingly parallel
some of nv own experiences. When l
was younger, friends persuaded me TO IN
vestigate with them more than one sup
nosed mystery. Their motive was not
or,v further to convince themselves but
also to convince me.
The result was Invariably failure as
far as / was concerned but-and here's
the rub-the exposure of one deception
after another led my friends in most
cases to the admission of fraud in the
particular instance investigated and TO
a restatement of belief that there were
in fact honest mediums if they could
be found.
The will to believe is paramount in
such cases. In my early experiences
among other things, the method OF get
ting at sealed missves and returning the
letter apparently in it's original unopened
condition was. exposed. Some trlcksters
charged a good round fee for this reading
of sealed letters.
Then there were table turning anu
spirit rapping, of course, One instance OF
the latter occurred in which the splrits
had heen silent for some time and the
proceedings, were getting dull when
took upon myself the duty OF turhish'ns
the raps to find whether the meoiuii
could distinguish my rappings from hei
own. The remarkable clearness ana con
sistencv of the answers to questions as
Furnished bv me was far ahead of ex-
pectation and led to the development u
