Altho it is only two weeks since he began to recover from an attack of double pneumonia, which his family and friends did not think he could possibly survive, W.O Saunders, editor and publisher of The Independent, is raising hob this week because his physician and family will not permit him to get back to his desk.
He insisted upon coming to the office and writing his editorials this week and when he couldn’t have his way, he ordered his typewriter brough to his home and he has turned out considerable work this week for one just back from the Great Beyond.
Mr. Saunders expects to be back at his desk Monday morning. He is under strict orders to keep away from the shop and all business worries this week, and Mrs. Saunders is seeing to it will that he behaves himself.
But even at that, he is stirring around and has even taken a short automobile trip this week. Even last week he had a telephone strung to his bedside and got a big kick out of calling up friends around town and telling them he would soon be around to see them. Altogether he has staged a wonderful come-back. Assuming a lowered vitality because of his diabetic tendency, his physicians feared that he would be confined to his home for months.
