KING'S MARCH TO HEALTH.

HAIR TURNED WHITE BY SEVERE ILLNESS "DEFINITELY STRONGER." Received Friday, 2 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 17. The King had a good night. Progress, although slow, is satisfactory. The next bulletin will heissued Friday evening. Continued satisfaction is felt concerning the King'3 condition, but although he has materially im-proved in the past fortnight, the impression that ho has taken a big forward strido should not be formed. Progress, it is repeated, is extremely slow and tedious. Kays were again applied tonight. Lord Dawson was at the Palaco for a shorter time than usual. . Tho Daily News says the King has aged through his illness. His hair is now completely white. Stronger Than at Any Time Since Illness MORE FOOD TAKEN. 1 a, 11 British Official Wireless RUGBY, Jan. 16. An official statement was made a<t Buckingham Palace this morning that the King's slow progress was maintained.

It was authoritatively stated that the King is now definitely stronger than at any time since the beginning of his illness. The increase of strongth is, however, very gradual, and cannot be measured from clay to clay, though a.i compared with a fortnight ago, the King is considerably stronger. The difficulty of persuading His Majesty to take nourishment has been largely overcome, and for the past week he has been taking more food. This has been reflected in increased strength. There is a growing feeling of confidence in the King's recovery at the Palace. • It is stated that when the weather shows signs of improvement the Queen, whose cold has almost vanished, will teke her usual daily drive from the Palace. Prince George ,who has also been suffering from a cold, is better. It is officially stated at Buckingham Palace to-night that the King had a comfortable day, but that otherwise there is no change. The next bulletin will bo issued to-morrow morning.
