& Why Vo “ “tond by the people of Washington. The True Story of Woodrow Wilson By DAVID LAWRENCE. | | CHAPTER VIII. drow Wilvon Never Invited JMembers uf Congress to Dine at the White H e, g In the entire eight years of the Wilson regime not a single individual wus ever invited to the White House to tuncheou or dinner for the purpose of exmcising a political influence uvon him This was true both as to | 2lr. Wilson and every member of his | famiy. Fow people in official and political ‘life were there at all en famille, Thi. is hard to realize, but it {s true.

The Wilsons earned the reputa-| tlen of being exclusive simply be- cause ey did not invite leaders, so- caliea leaders, self-imagined leagers, | poittical characters and others to the White House. s a matter of fact, theie was & simple endeavor on Mr. Wilsou's part to play no favorites. I can't have the whole Senate to' lunca.” he commented. “so T cannot | ‘have any ot them. The moment I make an intimate of any one other! gova friends of whom I am just us | fona are hurt because they think they are slighted.” “The same polidy was followed by | M1, Wilson in his daily game of golf. | On n few occasions Col. House went to the golf course with him; but as the colonel did not play he walked about the course or walted for the President on a seat beside a tee. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, Mr. Wilson's physi- | cian, was a constant golf companion, No one could feel slighted, Mr. Wilson thought, if he played golf with his physician. After his second marriage fi. Wilson occasionally toolk his wife 1o the Kolf course and she played for ral weeks, but the Virginia hills | ~vere much too hard to elimb and Dr. vyson again beeame the golf part- ntinuing until Mr. Wilson was | Clatmed No Speelal Favors, i Woodrow Wilson deciined any spe- cial consideration at the clubhouse | because he was President.

He was always & “regular fellow” with other players he encountered on the course.

He invariably made some nleasant remark about the game, the weather or the incident of the play and thanked the plaver who let him pass. “If 1 could just hit the ball as squarely as I hit these daisles I could .play a great game,” he remarked on one occaslon while he swung at sev- cral dafsles growing on the green, clipping the heads off cach. “My SPECIAL NOTICES. | course, ! vigor of iof right eye,” he explained to a group ! of golfers, “Is like o horse's. 1 can see stralght out with it, but not side- | ways. As a result I cannot take & full swing because my nose gots in the way and cuts off my view of the| ball. That s the reason I use a short swing.” The day after election in 1916 the President and Dr. Grayson were play- ing No. 18 when they passed uther players going down to No. 1. “How is your game today, Mr. Prestdent?” one of the players called.

Consequently, it is wrong to ask a child to assimilate the same food which an ;duf’tl stomach with many years of digestive experience can andle. One may not notice the harm done in a day or a month, but the constant tax on.the undeveloped organs will creep out some- where, some time, in the form of “fretfulness,” “nervousness,” “languidness,” “thin blood” etc. The best food for children is GOOD MILK!
