A Yale professor says that skin
ny guy who gets drunk on alcohol is
no worse than q fat man who gets
drunk on food.
One is almost as impossible to ac-
complish as the other. It's hard to
find a lamb chop with more than one
half of per cent meat.
1t isn't the food that makes you
dizzy. It's the prices.

Can you imagine ringing the doc
tor up in the middle of the night
and saying: Hurry and write me a
prescription for a plate of mashed
potatoes. I'm dying"
They've taken the swinging doors
of Of saloon entrances and put them
on drug stores. Now they'll take
them off the pharmacies and use
them on meat markets.
Every man who weighs over a

Venizelos Sentiment Resurgent
BY a. r. JOHNSON,
unItcd Ncws staG corrcspnnlcn,.

ATHENS, Jan. 2.-There is ii perceptible re-
surgence OF the old Venizelos sentiment in
Greece. and in various quarters one hears pre-
dictions that Eleutheros. which means free
man, will come back again to power For a
month there was almost u total letharEy OF
this sentiment. hut the reaction has set in.
Considering the popular enthusiasm over
King Constantine one month ago, it is GER
tainly remarkable to find the opposition pos
scssed Of such true strength as II has today.
There are twenty Venizelists on the Municipal
Council of Athens and only ten Loyalists. And
many avowed Loyalsts may be reckoned as
Nenizelists at heart. For convenience sake
they acclaimed the King, but with their fingers
crossed and their minds full of reservations
Adhercnts of the former government are nu :

too sincere to play petty politics and incurred
the emnity of seekers after innumerablc small

prehension of this type Of citizen. There were
literally hundreds Of innovations along these
lines and they vcXed the very people they
were designed to benefit
Also according TO this Official the army was
turned against Ncnizclos by specious propa-
sanda TO the effect that Constantine would
bring the soldiers home from the war at
once.
If Fcnizclos himself does not rcappear his
policies and modern ideals certainly are re-
asserting themselves in various parts Of the
country Last Tuesday. December IS. was
Nenizclos name day in the Greek calendar the
