Some Of the potassium and phos-

takes a long contact with the air to
cause chemical actions which will
change it into a soluble form. Con-

change. Thorough stirring also loos-

Gen. Castro yielded reluctantly to the
persuasions of his wife. his sister and
lis brother Carmelo not to land at La

Il have done nothing that should make

You will be arrested the moment you
land" said Carmelo on one occasion.
Il have been in prison before, replied
the former president.
The prisons there are unhealthy, add
ed Carmelo. Men not wanted do not live
long, they die, strangely.
Gen. Castro had prepared a proclama-
ton to the people OF Venezuela, in which
he recognized the Gomez government.
also announced that it was his purpose
10 live quietly in the country. But when
he learned that indictments had been
found against him he tore the document
up. lie has received many letters from
