VENIZELOS.

Sleutherios Venizelos, the Greek statesman and former premier who strove from the beginning of the war to align the Hellenes with the Allies is 52 years old and a native of Crete. He received an excellent education in the schools of his native land and at the University of Athens and began the practice of law 34 years ago at Canae. In 1887 he was elected to the Cretan Assembly and began his memorable and patriotic career. When he went to Athens in 1909 he was received as a popular hero by all the Hellenes, and soon became the most powerful Grecian statesman. The latest reports from Greece are to the effect that several hundred thou sand Greek troops are being ready to take part in the war on the side of America and the Allies. If that is true, there is very little doubt that Vehicles is in a great measure re- sponsible for raising them.

 CAREFUL DIET

Washington, April 29.---Pe11agra may be prevented and, in some cases cured, by a well balanced diet, ac- cording to a pamphlet circulated by the United States public health ser vice. It is said that pellagra had be- come a. serious disease in some com munities. It is estimated that it caused the death of more than 5000 persons last year.
 The paper, which is published in a current number of the public health reports, says that pellagra is not com municajble and that it is caused by an unbalanced diet, consisting mainly of cereals, starches and fats, with but little of the animal flesh foods or milk. To prevent the disease, the diet should include sufficient quantities of milk, lean meat, beans, peas and green vegetables.
