WELL KNOWN MAN Is
PREMIER OF SERvIA
From the New York World.


Belgrade, Servia--Nicholas Pashitch, the
Servian premier the most widely known
man In Europe at the present moment, is
81 years old. of average height, with
good head, regular features and long
white beard. He lives retired life, avoids
publicity, is extremely, modest, is more Of
a professor than politician and diplc-
mat but Is endowed with great tenacity.
he Is no speaker. His opponents often ieer
MIN for his bad grammar and accuse him
OF being more Bulgarian than Seryian
even In his language.
Still this man, devoid of culture and
without anything to appeal to popular
sentiment except his quiet patriotism, has
played the foremost part in organizing the
destruction of the Turkish power in Eu-
rope and the liberation OF the Balkans
He studied as young man at the techni-
cal school in ST. Petersburg and the Poly
technic at Zurich. beginning life as a rail-
way engineer. He entered politics as a
socialist, but soon left that to found the
Servian radical party. He first came to
be widely known through his opposition to
King Milan because that king refused to
longer follow Russian guidance, which in
Pashitchs view had been the salvation OF
Servia
He first became premier after Milan alb
dicated, but soon resigned. He was re-
instated after the assassination Of King
Alexander and Queen Draga and has been
the leader of the Servian people most of
the time in the last nine eventful years
Though determined and highly cour-
ageous. Pashitch is not an extremist and
will do nothing to risk what Seryia has
achieved

DREADED TO EAT.

Nature never intended this should
be SO, for. we are given thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and it's accompanying mis-.
