Washington, Sept. 12.-Slowly but
steadily Mrs. Harding continued to
gain today.
While the Presidents wife is by
no means past the danger point,
nor even assured as yet of recovery,
by comparison with last Thursday
and Friday she is a great deal better,
A note of warning against too
great of optimism came from the
white house early today. II was
pointed out that Mrs. Harding's ex-
cellent condition now Is only COM
parative, and that she still is ex-
tremely weak and in great danger
Of her life, because of the insidious
character of the kidney malady from
which She is suffering.
Each hour, however, that sees no
recurrance OF the alarming complicat
ions which first appeared last week,
strengthens Mrs. Hardings chances.
Nature tnG medical skill appeared
today TO have tipped the scales IN
her fa"cr What the doctors nov
have TO do is see they do not tip
ba"k.
Dr. Charles Mayo, the famous
Rochester, Mimi, surgeon, who hur-
ried to Washington when 1t was be-
lieyed an operation might be the
only means of saving Mrs. Harding,
probably will return to his home to-
day. If an operation has to be per-
formed, Dr. John Finney OF John
Hopkins probably will perform It,
AS a result of the lessening of the
crisis, President Harding last night
retired about 9:30 o'clock. Mrs.
Harding at that time was resting
comfortably and told the president
she was going to sleep.
