GREECE PASSES
 THROUGH |TS REVOLUTION

ATHENS, Nov. 1. - The upheaval in public affairs which Greece has passed through in the last few months is now officially designated as "the revolution" and it will doubtless go down in the records of the European war as the Greek Revolution of 1917. Premier Venizelos gave an indication of this in repeatedly referring to "the revolution" in his address to parlia- ment.
 While it has been a peaceful and largely a bloodless revolution, yet to the Greeks, it has revolutionized their political system almost as much as the Russian upheaval has affected the Russians.
 The abdication of King Constantine and the crown prince on an ultimatum Of the protecting powers, France, Eng land and Russia, backed by military and naval demonstration; the setting up of a new king and the recall of We. n.zelos to direct the central. govern ment at Athens after he had SC. up a separate provisional government Ut Saloniki, the complete reversal cf policy toward the European war by Greece joining the entente allies; and finally, the complete disappearance of royalist control of public affairs, and the re-establishment of a government based on the control of responsible cabinet ministers - these summarize some of the outstanding features of what is now designated as the Greek revolution.
 M. Venizelos, In a recent statement summed up some of the general pur poses the revolution had in view as follows:
 ''In participating in the world wal at the side of the democratic states

in a veritable holy war against the imperialistic pretensions of Germany" l" he said, i've will not only succeed in our national territory from our traditional enemies, Turkey and Bulgaria, now ranged with Ger many. We will not only succeed in re- establishing our national honor, cloud ed by the failure of the ex-king to defend Serbia in accordance with our treaty obligations. We will not only defend our national interests at the coming peace congress, and assure our national future. We will become, also, an honored member of the fam fly of liberal states which will con stitute the Congress of peace"
 The parliamentary session now go- ing on is defining what the revolution has accomplished This is being done by the presentation of the diplomatic negotiations through all the troubled period, with notable speeches by Ve' nizelos and the minister of foreign af- fairs, on the chief points of accusation against the government, which was compelled to abdicate. Foremost in this accusation is the desertion by Greece of Serbia and the complete dis. regard of the Serbo-Grecian treaty; and the surrender to Bulgaria of the Crock Fort Rupal and other strategic points. in accordance with an under standing with the German authorities according to the charge of NJ. Veni zelos and NJ. POlitis.
 The parliamentary discussion is soon to be followed by lively cam
 paign all over the country to secure
 united approval for general mobiliza
 tion. Among the peasant classes there
 is said to be much apathy over getting
 into the war, and the speeches of Veni
 zelos are considered as a supreme ap
 peal to the nation to accept the results of the revolution and to do it's part 1T

 to the dual governments existing
 through the last year, with parts O armies under each government.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-01

One of these, the Verfzelist provis- ional force, organized al Saloniko, is an effective force of ttree divisions of e0000 men. This haF now become the nucleus of the new army, with an- other 60,O00 men to be. ldded from the classes of 1916 and 1917, and the gen eral mobilization bringing the force up to it's full war strength of 30O,00O men. It is to realize these military plans that Vepizelos is now making his appeals first to parliament and then to the country, the keynote of all these appeals being that the revolu- tion is success and now calls for the united support of the people in prose cutting the war.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-01

While a revolution in the govern. ment system has been going on there is little outward evidence of change in the social and economic conditions of the country. There is none of the disorder. which usually accompanies revolutions, and life goes on in the cities and towns about the same as usual. Martial law prevails and squads of soldiers do provost duty through the streets. But the general public is unconcerned; the streets are crowd. ed as usual, the theatres and restau- rants do a thriving business.

The primary system and the popular
election of judges does not tend to create
an independent judiciary. On the con-

to be swayed by every passing breeze Of
popular sentiment and to allow his own
reelection to exercise a controlling in

with meats.
Green Vegetables: Turnip greens, spin
ach or cabbabe may be the green vege-
table used for dinner and may be served
with the meat course. Lettuce or tomato
or the two combined may be served with
mayonaise or French dressing as a salad
course Celery and olives add favor to
dinner.
Bread: When potatoes or rice are served
with meats. less bread should be eaten
One muffin or two corn sticks, corn bread
or two slices Of Graham bread or white
bread are enough for the heavy meal.
Fats: Butter is not needed for dinner
because enough fats for one meal are
taken in meats, vegetables that are
cooked with meats, and in salad dress
ings. Butter or lard are also used in
making cakes and pastries.
Desserts: Light desserts should be
the rule with dinner The rich pies,
puddings, pastries and cream desserts
have high food values and should not
be served with heavy meal A fruit
salad, or ambrosia or even an orange,
|cantaloupe or small piece of water
melon may serve as dessert Peaches
or berries with cream are good sum-
mer desserts. Lemon or orange sher-
bet are better suited for dinner than
ice cream, which has high food value,
unless the latter is made from milk
and eggs (boiled custard). Gelatin Is
easily prepared and has low food value.

kinds of foods at the different meals.
There are many delicious and noursh-

* PRACTICAL knowledge Of diet
ZA\ and nutrition adds enormously
q * to the pleasure of eating. The
modern epicurean not only knows how
to select the most attractive and the
most palatable foods he understands
their nutritive values, and he is alb
stemious of those things which he knows
to be harmful when taken to excess.
Epicurus, by the way, was not a gour-
mard. as many suppose, but was really
frugal in his habits. He protested Wig
orously against self-indulgence and the
mere qualification of selfish appetites
Epicurus was not only connoisseur In
1osophers of ancient Greece and anyone
today may profit by reading and follow
ing his teachings.
One who would eat ratioanlly should
have definite purpose in view in Sc
lecting every article that goes to make
IN each meal. The cost the digestibil-
ity, the nutritive values, and the effects
on nutrition and efficiency should all
be considered. particularly in deciding
upon the menu for dinner, the most i'm
portant and the most enjoyable meal of
the day.
Meats have the most delicious flavor of
all foods and they are an essential part
of the daily dietary. One kind, and not
more than one kind of meat should be
eaten for dinner each day. 1t is the ex-
cessiye fnterpnarota ~ irra tiopa1 ,,ao+
ca ting that has been condemned by all
authorities on diet and nutrition. 1t is
possible to get enough protein from
Vegetable foods but it is better to eat
some meats, because there are objec-
tons to the all vegetable diet 1t is
for health and efficiency; and we should
not be led into error by the fads or
cults, in eating that are so widely ad-
vertised.
1t is ordinarily best to eat a differ
ent kind of meat each day in the week
except when left overs" can be used
though the tastes, inclinations and
means of family have to be consid-
cred Some kind of beef for dinner one
day, and the next some form of pork,
then chicken, turkey or other fowl, and
fish once or twice a week When the
world needs meat so badly it is a moral
crime to have two or three kinds of
meat at one meal. Not only that, it is
an offense against ones health and eff
ficiency 1t should be considered a
criminal act to kill calves, and breed
ing or mich cows, young chickens, or
lamb, with the present serious meat
shortage facing US, and those who buy
and eat them are particeps criminis in
the offense against patriotism.
Government reports show that there
are more meats in cold storage today
than year ago, but the high prices
have induced stock raisers to sell their
young or breeding cattle, which means
that next year we will feel the shortage
more. Already meat prices are so high
that the poor and the laboring man on
low wages cannot afford to eat this
necessary food.
Fish has nearly as high protein value
as beef or pork and more of it should
be eaten 1t is cheaper than most meats,

would moreover remove the embarrass-
ing, costly and inexcusable defects OF
our appellate procedure. 1t would pre-
vent any waste of judicial power, the de-
lays and costs of appeals Of dismIssals
on account of mistake in venue, the du-
plication Of clerical work, but would
thoroughly organize the work of every
court, place the power to make rules in
the courts where they belong, and enor-
mously increase the vigor, efficiency and
economy of the administration of the

serious consideration. Under their plan
the chief justice of the highest court in
the state and of the unified courts Of
the state should be chosen by the entire
electorate of the state, for term neither
too long to make him unmindful of pub
lie approval nor too short to make the
office worth the strain of repeated cam
paigns,' and should be given the absolute
power of selection and appointment Of
all the other judges of his court, whose
positions become vacant during his term
of office. 1t is further suggested by their
plan that at stated periods say at the
expiration Of three years, at the expira-
ton of nine years and at the expiration
of Is years from the date of the appoint
ment of each of these Judges, the question
should be submitted to the entire cleo
torate with reference to the judges who
have been sitting for those periods re-
spectively. Shall the judge be retained?
