SAYS BUCHANAN RECEIVED
 $5,ooo FOR SERVICES
Testimony of Treasurer of Labor's
 National Peace Council.

New York, May 4.-Former Repre- sentative Frank Bunchanan received s5,OOO for his services as president of Labors National Peace Council, ac- cording to testimony given today by Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Central Federated Union of this city, who was treasurer of the council. Buchanan is on trial with Captain Franz Rintelen of the German navy and six others on charges of conspiring through the council to foment strikes which would disrupt the munitions trade of the en- tente allies in this country
 MT. Bohm said his information to Buchanan's remuneration came from Henry B. Martin, one of the defend ants, who was active in the councils affairs.
 The witness testified that while connected with the council he felt un- easy as to the sources of the funds with which it was financed. He sev- eral times asked Martin and other defendants for the truth because he felt that as a labor representative he was responsible to his organization. He always was assured, he said, that the money came from business per sons" who sympathied with the peace movement.
 In his testimony, Bohm definitely connected Buchanan, Martin, Former Representative H. Robert Fowler, David Lamar, Jacob s. Taylor, Frank s. Monett and Henry Schulteis with the working of the council. He had several conferences he asserted, with the defendants in regard to the pro- jects of the council and was directed by Martin to get in touch with "E. who was lone of the business people sympathizing with the purposes of the council" he was told.
 It has been shown that ''E. Rusky" was an alias used by Lamar
 Bohm was cross examined for sev- eral hours by counsel for the defense but made no material change in his testimony.

SHORTAGE OF rood
NAY CAUSE DISEASE.

A fear that high food prices. by sun-
balancing diets, may lead to wider
prevalence of pellagra in the United
States during the coming year iss.ex-
pressed in bulletin issued by the
public health service.
Gas a result of government re-
Searches" says the bulletin, 1T was
found that pe1lagra is produced by an
insufficient, poorly balanced diet. The
application of this knowledge greatly
reduced pel1agra during 1916, as COM
pared with previous years.
ct is feared. however, that pellagra
may increase in 1917 by reason of an
increase in food cost out of proportion
to the prosperity now enjoyed by this
country.
I'm effecting economics the general
public should bear in mind the inn
portance Of properly balanced diet."
Milk. meat, eggs, beans and peas.
says the statement, are the best pre-
ventives of pellagra.

the ventriloauist whispered in my
ear.
At that momont Pat, losing all pa
tience. gave the animal a tremendous
kick
( The mule turned his head
Don't you 90 that again!" The
voice sounded as though it came di-
rect from between the mules parted
lips.
The whip dropped from the Irish
mans hand. For a moment he stared
at the mule. and then, without ut
tering word, he whirled about and
Eolted down the street.
