KING ABLE TO REST;
TAKES NUTR|MENT
Evidence of Will Power Hail
ed by Doctors as Favor
able Omen.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 1.-Two favorable
factors have appeared in the latest de-
velopments in King Georges prolonged
struggle.
The restlessness which prevented him
from getting adequate repose on two
previous nights seemed to have left
him in a large degree and he passed
the night more quietly. This, it was as
sumed, would prove helpful, adding to
the powers of recuperation he needs to
lift him out of debilitation.
Concurrently, this mornings bulletin
reported improvement in the locally in
fected area.
His general condition was reported as
being stationary. This indicated that
at least there had been no setback. The
inference was that the King had main
tanned the slight improvement noted
recently. The morning bulletin said:
THE King had quieter night. The
local condition shows slight improve
ment, while the general condition re-
mains stationary"
Will Power Asserted.
A statement that King George has
the will to live was hailed today as the
most encouraging feature in the long
review of the monarch'S illness contrib
uted to medical journals by the royal
physicians. Medical experts in the
morning papers emphasized the impor-
tance and the significance of this atti-
tue on the part of the patient.
It was contended that persistence OF
the instinct to fight for self-preserva-
ton was the sign itself OF some measure
of health, because the desire TO live
probably has a physical basis.
The authorized review of the King S
illness which appeared in the Lancet
and the British Medical Journal today
stated that because or exhaustion the
course of the illness must be long and
for the present anxious.
Nurse Uses Feeder.
It was stated that there was a disin-
clination toward most foods and dis
like for many and that weakness ne
cessitated nouriShment being given by
a nurse with a feeder. Adequacy OF
nutriment. both as regards quantity ano
variety, was now being secured, though
not without difficulty.
It was announced that Sister Rose
Simmons, an expert in practical dietet..
les and member of the staff of one OF
the big London hospitals, had contrib
uted to the care of the King during
the past weeks. ~ W.T..
Provided all goes we'll with King
George. it was stated today that the

"Thc citrus industry seems to
have reached stage of stability,
the conclusions i'll the bulletin say,
- for there is close agreement be
tween the growers estimate of the
exchange value of groves, the cap

power of groves, and the cost of de
veloping new groves from land pur
chased at its present valuation foI
other crops.
Among the other conclusions
reached as result of the survey
are these:
The middle range of soils (by
texture), which are mainly used fol
citrus planting in Southern Califor
MIA. are about equally well adapted
to this purpose. Very sandy soil'
and heavy clay adobes are, in gen
eral less productive of citrus fruit.
