MR. WILSON MUCH BETTER.

Eats with Relish Atole, a Nutritious Dish, Prepared by Indian Women. A late bulletin from Dr. Underwood, who is nursing Congressman Wilson at Guadalajara, is very encouraging. His pulse is steady, his temperature fairly normal, and his appetite good. The Mexican physician has prescribed atole as diet. Atole is a very nutritious dish. Corn is ground by hand by Indian women, and the meal is then parched and sifted into boiling hot water or milk in the same manner as used in mush in the United States. It is, however, much more appetizing than mush when freshly ground and cooked. Congressman Tarsney has the best Indian Woman obtainable cooking it fresh at all hours of the day, as Mr. Wilson eats it with relish, but can take only a 'few spoonfuls at a time. Consul General Crittenden received a message from Mr. Tarsney saying Mr. Wilson is improving, that the climate is splendid, and he thinks the patient will pull through. Mr. Wilson is much prostrated,but it is believed that the crisis is past.
