Pres. HARDING Still
REMAINS INDOORS BUT
CONDITION IS IMPROVED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 23.-
President Harding, who became i'll
with grip a week ago, continued to
remain in his rooms today. Brigadier-
General Sawyer, his physician, said
that while he had practically re-
covered, he had been advised to re-
main in secluc:on in order to obtain a
much-needed rest.
DR.. Sawyer said the Presidents
temperature today was normal and
that his condition was in every way
satisfactory.
Mrs. Harding has 50 far recovered
from her recent illness that she has
abandoned her wheel chair and walks
about the different rooms Of the White
House.
Yesterday she spent the greater
part of the day with the President in
his study and was also with him for
some time today.
While no definite plans have been
made, it is understood the President
is looking forward to going with Mrs
Harding to Florida for rest early in

WEATHER BUREAU SEES
SNOW OR RAIN LATE
TONIGHT AND WE'D

- .tt 4 u -f 81
Just when AbAapolitans are begin
ming to rejoice over the few hours of
clear, cold weather which have pre-
vailed since yesterday noon. along
comes the Weather Bureau and heart
lessly destroys their hopes of its con-
tinuance with the following prophecy:
Increasing cloudiness. followed by
snow or rain late tonight and We'd
nesday; somewhat warmer wednes-
day"
Snow, however. will be preferred by
many to rain, inasmuch as the city
has teen washed by almost countless
rains in the past two or three months
and the uncertain changes of the
weather have resulted in innumerable
attacks of 'fiu,' grip. rheumatism and
kindred ills.
There have been no SHOWS to
amount to anything this year and the
ancient superstition. "A green Christ
mas, a fat graveyard" is being refer
red to by many with ili-concealed
misgivings.
There is STILL. however, chance
for a little real winter befors
the arrival OF spring and. should TO-
night bring snow instead of rain. per-
haps a short period of seasonahls
weather may yet prevail.

equally irresistible attractions are Of
fered by the Ladies' Aid Society of
Salem NJ. e. Church, South, at a sup
per on Thursday. January %, in the
effort TO procure funds to replace
their worn-out organ with a more up
to-date and harmonious instrument.
How the ladies figure upon such a
supper for fifty cents and still expect
to clear any Worthwhile amount to-
wards the purchase OF the desired
organ is mystery to students of eco
nomics. but, nevertheless, they APP
parently feel that 1t can be done. and
since few things are impossible to
those OF sufficient will power. it is
hoped that large crowd win attend
the affair. The ladies of the Salem
congregation are already well-known
in this county for their delectable
cooking and this, allied with such a
menu as the above, should surely fill
the basement of Trinity NJ. Z. Church.

of hungry citizens, anxious to do their
bit towards the installation OF new
organ in Salem Church and at the
same time procure supper Of such
