Of the White House.
From time to time, Dr.. Boone
peeped into the Presidents room,
but seeing the Chief Executive
getting the restfuI sleep, OF which
he stands so badly in need, he did
not venture in.
This restful sleep which the
president has succeeded In getting
for the last few nights has been
perhaps the most valuable single
aid In restoring the President to
that stage which the doctors term
oonvalescence. The sleep has large
