PRESIDENT NOW OUTOFDANOER Dr. Sawyer Satisfied With the Condition of His Distinguished Patient. ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY Confidence Felt That the Chief Execu. tive Has Conquered the Complication of Diseases That Had Threatened His Life. I ' San I- rancisco, Aug. 1. —President i Harding has passed the crisis and is on the road to recovery, according to a statement made to the Associated I Press by Dr. Charles E. Sawyer, the I President’s personal physician. i “Since we have our toxin well un- ' tier control, I feel safe in saying that , we have passed the peak load of ; trouble," Doctor Sawyer said. "1 don’t want to be emphatic about it, because , we always face complications. Feel That Crisis Is Over, “But I feel that the crisis is over and that the President Is well on the road to recover}'.” Doctor Sawyer said it was impossible to state at present how long it i would be before the President would be well and strong enough to return to Washington. “I can’t say now when it will be possible to feed him solid food.” lie said, “but I do feel that he is now entirely out of danger. I don't know it. but I I feel it.” Patches on Lungs Lessened. Evidences of slight lessening of the broncho-pneumonia patches on the right lung were found. Although the physicians were said to feel that caution prevented a fiat , and definite assertion that all danger I had passed, there was every indication such a feeling existed. General Sawyer, in an Informal I statement to the Associated Press, said I President Harding had passed the cri- | sis ami was on the road to recovery. “Since we have our toxin well under , control,’’ Doctor Sawyer said, “I feel • safe in saying that we have passed the peak load of trouble. I don't want I to be too emphatic about it, because we always face complications. But I feel that the President is well on the । road to recovery. “I feel that be is now entirely out of danger. I don't know it. but I 1 feel it.” Better in Every Way. Doctor Sawyer said improvement had been shown In the President's । pulse, temperature and respiration, and also In his eliminative faculties. j The latter, he said, was a highly favor- ' able symptom. The President's cough has been disi sipated, Doctor Sawyer said, adding ; that this also was a very favorable InI dication. The executive , had not I coughed for some time, and there had j been no expectoration of any conse- | quence in that time. Holding the Gains. Dr. Sawyer made the statement after the affernoon consultation of the Pres- ! Ident's physicians had ended with is- i suance of a bulletin stating the execu- j five had hpld the gain made during the i | night, and citing other favorable conditions. Dr. Sawyer stated Mrs. Harding was I well, despite the strain. Althongh past the crisis, the fight i Mr. Harding must make had not ended, i He is admittedly handicapped in his physical resistance, but he proved that he Is temperamentally well adapted for the struggle, and he now has the odds with him. The developments of the day brought a decided change in the atmosphere of ; that part of the hotel occupied by the I presidential party. Mrs. Harding was described as great- ; ly cheered, although never, even when ■ it was announced by the physicians I that pneumonia had developed and that j Mr. Harding's condition was grave, has i she lost her cheerful disposition, her j hope or her faith. She remained in j the presidential suite, always within call and much of the time by her husband's bedside. The three cabinet members here were likewise greatly heartened. Secretary Work, who, as a physician, has j participated In all the consultations, said that there had been nothing disquieting. President Worn Out. Here is the record of work perI formed and difficulties undergone j which wore down President Harding’s I physical condition so that what was believed at first to be but a mild ease of ptomaine poisoning developed into a serious illness: Left Washington June 20, traveled 39 days. Covered by train, steamship and automobile, approximately 7,500 miles. Delivered 60 speeches, of which 13 were set addresss at night, before j large crowds, and represented careful i and laborious preparation beforehand. Exposed himself to all sorts of weather and other arduous conditions to adi dres< eager crowds from rear platform of hi< special train. In 59 days spent only throe n ^hts ' outside his private oar or off his ship. Maintained almost constant touch with hl- office In Washington, even while traversing Alaskan waters on his ship, and transacted much official business by telegraph, wireless and the mails. Omitted his usual dally periods of exercise and recreation. A Many-Sided Problem. “Betty!” called the young mother. “Yes. ma’am.” came from the nurse. “When the baby has finished his I bottle, lay him In the cradle on his ; right side. After eating, a child , should always He on the right side. That relieves the pressure'on the heart. Still (reflectively) the liver is on the right side. Perhaps, after all, you’d better lay him on the left side. No, I'm sure the book said, ‘right sMe.’ On the whole. Bettv, you may Tay the baby on his back till T have looked up the matter thoroughlv."

HOUSING AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT 1 MB \7 ol V7 ,m a !/hi ' I Simple Though Attractive Garage.

According to government figures the production of motor trucks In 1921 was In excess of 150,000. It is estimated that of this number 6 per cent, or 90,000, were sold to fanners. The best authorities affirm that this proportion of sales Is In accordance with the general status of ownership of motor trucks. That Is, of all the motor trucks in the United States, about 60 per cent are owned by farmers. A very large portion of farmers also own automobiles and very often own more than one. The problem of housing this equipment Is no longer one which admits of makeshift solution. Attractive Garage. The accompanying photograph gives a suggestion for the construction of a simple though attractive garage which can be adapted very easily to farm requirements. The foundation Is made of monolithic concrete extending to a depth of about two feet below the surface of the ground. The upper portion of the walls consists of concrete block. The floor, of course, Is also of PUNCTURED TIREI EASY TO REPAIR No Longer Necessary to Resort to Old-Fashioned Method in Fixing Up a Leak. — (By ERWIN GREER. President Greer I | College of Automotive Engineering. । Chicago.) With the large number of conven- • lent vulcanizers that are now on the market It Is no longer necessary to use the old-fashioned cold patch when a I punctured tire has to be repaired. A j I cold patch, under certain conditions, j will prove satisfactory, but it is emy । an emergency patch at Its best. The 1 modern automobilist will add a small vulcanizer to his emergency equipment, and then, with perhaps a few minutes more time expended, a permanent repair can be made. When the vulcanizer Is chosen it should be large enough to handle a blow-out or puncture at least one Inch In diameter, as It Is just as easy to make a repair of this size as a smaller one. i With ell repairs except a pinhole a । backing must be provided inside the tube for the gum rubber to rest on while it is being cured. This will bold the rubber In position and help It unite the fractured edges of the tube. Treating Small Puncture. When treating a small puncture the hole should be slightly enlarged by cutting a circular hole. This will make , It easier to Insert the backing and also provide a clean edge for the gum to take hold of. In the case of a large hole, this should also be trimmed, bo that the hole will be either circular or oval. After the hole is trimmed the Inside of the tube should be scraped over a large enough surface to receive the backing strip. This strip can lie j made from a piece of an old inner tube and should be large enough to allow a liberal margin all around the hole. Clean the upper surface of this •trip well, roll It up. and push it through the hole into the tube. When It is Inside arrange it so that it lu In the proper position. It is then ready to receive the cement. This can best be applied with a small stick, which is inserted between the tube and the patch on cne side, while the other edge is held securely to prevent Its moving. The tube is now treated in j j.--- .... ----n Motor Superstitions.

concrete as Is the approach to the garage. The floor should be made approximately five Inches thick and should be laid upon a bed of tamped cinders or gravel, so that adequate drainage Is provided. The floor drain shouki be inserted In the center of the floor and the floor made to slope toward it from nil directions; a pitch of one-eighth ’ Inch t>er foot is sufficient. One course construction for concrete floors is ' probably the simplest; the mixture of medium consistency and tamped so as to bring the finer part of the mixture i to the surface. It can then be ■ smoothed down with a wood float or troweled with a steel trowel If de- , sired. In a building of this kind, which is । approximately 20 feet square, it is , advisable to use a hip roof, that is, । to have the roof sloping in four directions as this apparently lowers the height of tiie roof. It is practically as , economical as any other type of roof । and is easily constructed. I the usual way. The gum Is put on and vulcanized and a perfect section will be the result. The reason for applying j the cement afte~ the backing strip, is In place. Is that it Is very difficult to , Insert and lorate the strip when It Is > cemented. Vulcanizer Sticks. Sometimes the vulcanizer has a , tendency to stick to the natch after it jis cured. To prevent tills, place a ■ piece of cloth over the rubber and be- : tween the patch and the face of the , vulcanizer. It will then be found easy to tear this off of the repair after the vulcanizing Is done. CITY MAPS FOR SIGN BOARDS Newest Successful Venture in Service ♦o Motor Tourists Installed In Maryland.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 12 MARTHA AND MARY LESSON TEXT—Luke 10.38-42; John 11:1-46; John 12:1-9. GOLDEN TEXT—“Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:42. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Proverbs 31:10-31. PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Loyal Friends of Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC —Martha and Mary. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—True Friendship Shown by Martha anil Mary. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Home Problems Illustrated by Martha and Mary. In order to properly understand these two characters, it will be necessary to look at the several narratives in which they are brought to our view. These are three in number. I. The Behavior of Martha and Mary in the Days of Sunshine. (Luke 10:3842.) In this picture we see Martha engaged in preparing a meal for Jesus. In her effort to make the best preparation for her honored guest, she became distracted. She net only was cumbered with much serving but she found fault with Mary for not helping her. She even censured the Lord for permitting such neglect. Martha has had her followers in all ages. Every church knows them. The busy, troubled and fussy w< men who are engaged in service for the Lord with little patience for those who sit at the feet of Jesus. Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. She had taken her turn in the service as the word “also” would Imply. She did not neglect service, but had the keenness of perception to discern that communion with the Bird was more prized by Him than the serving of a meal. Both of these women loved the Lord and It is impossible to say which loved Hhn more. In the days of sunshine In this home. Mary made the good choice of communion with her Lord. 11. Mary and Martha in the Day of Great Sorrow. (John 11:1-46.) The next scene which occupies our attention is the occasion of the resurrection of Lazarus. In the time of the sickness of Lazarus, these sisters had sent for Jesus. Jesus loved the members of this household, and yet. strange to say. He delayed His going unto them. Martha met Him with rebuke, saying that if He had been there her brother had not died. This carried with it the censure for His delay under such trying circumstances. This act of Martha called forth some marvelous teachings on the resurrection. After this interview with Martha, she came to Mary with the message of a call from Jesus. Mary was composed and remained in the house until called for. She immediately responded to this call and used the identical words of Martha, but instead of rebuking her. He mingled His tears of sympathy with hers of sorrow. The reason she had such composure in this dark hour was that she had patiently sat at His feet and listened to His word so that she understood the meaning of the tragedy. The difference then in the behavior of these two women in this dark hour was doubtless due to the fact that in the days of sunshine Mary had entered fully into fellowship with the Lord and that Martha had lost this grace through her fret fulness. 111. Jesus Entertained at Bethany. (John 1:1-9.) At this supper appeared Mary, Martha and Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. D< übtless this supper was in grateful appreciation of His help and sympathy in the days of their trial. At this meal Martha was back at her old business of serving, but it would seem with an unruffled disposition. Mary took a pound of spikenard, very costly, and annotated the feet of Jesus and wiped them with her hair. This was a token of her great love and devotion. She was back in her accustomed place at the feet of Jesus. Because in the days of sunshine she sat at the Master’s feet listening to His teaching, she was able to pass through the dark shadow of her brother’s death, and now when the cross was easting its cruel shadow across Christ's pathway, she with the keen intuition of true love, brought her costliest gift as an evidence of her love. She thus anticipated His death and burial, knowing that she could not minister unto Him then. The Lord received this act of love at its full value. Against the foul criticism of Judas. Jesus defended Mary. He declared that it was no more a waste than the ointment placed on the bodies of the dead in. embalmment. In fact it was the doing of this very act beforehand unto Him. Only Mary of all His disciples had really understood Jesus when He said He must be crucified and raised again the third day. The announcement of His crucifixion brought unto the others dismay. -They refused to believe in the resurrection, hut Mary came to annoint His body for the burying. Power We see the potver of a poVt, or of an irtist, or <>f a statesman, or of a leader of men, ami we see how easily it is Wielded, and we covet it for ourselves. But what lies back of that power in ’ the years of apprenticeship, in humiliation. and self-imposed discipline, what I lays of labor and nights devoid of ease, we do not see. Finest of ail types of power is spiritual power; power of intercession ; power of persuasive testimony ; power of heart-melting sympathy; power to tell the truth in such a way as to make the truth tell. Is this power not desirable? Very well, then It is ours, if —“If ye be willing and •bedient.” “If ye abide in Me. and my words abide in you.” That is the tremendous “if” at the threshold of the path which leads to power.

Important to All Women Readers of This Papei — . ■ Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never j suspect it. Women’s complaints often prove to be ' nothing else but kidney trouble, or the I result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and maybe despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. i Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y., you may receive sam- , pie size bottle by parcel post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores. —Advertisement. Reckoning in Eggs.
