EARTH, LADEN
WITH SELENIUM,
BRINGS DISEASE

WASHINGTON, April g.
Selenium will get you if you don't
watch out
That's what Chemists Maurice
/. Smith, X. w. FRANKIE and B. b.
WestfaI of the United States Pub
lie Health Service have discover
ed in recent experiments.
Human beings get selenium from
plants and animals raised on soil
containing that heavy metal. In
three northwestern states it was
found that 80 percent of the per-
sons in Ill families on selenium-
bearing soil had traces of it in
their bodies. nF1Yran
Also in the group was 3 high
percentage with diseased finger
nails, intestinal disorders, diseass
ed skin and several ease of art
hits, the chemists reported.
But there is comfort in the fact
selenium is prevalent in only a
few isolated soil patches of the
northwest.

PLANNING FOR
OPERATION OF
MODERN PLACE
RUSSELL PURCHASES
VICTORIA RESTAURANT
BUILDING AT DUvAL AND
GREENE STREETS

Seen today at his place of bust
ness on Greene street, Joseph S.
Russell. who recently purchased
the building at the corner of Du-
val and Greene streets, known as
the Victoria restaurant building,
said that contrary to what has
been surmised by a number OF
persons, he did not buy for an in
vestment, but for the purpose Of
establishing modern and up to the
minute business.
81 have already started the pre-
liminary work which / deem neces-
sary at first, and am now getting
things in shape to make the. re-
quired repairs to the building and
proposed changes which / had in
mind before purchasing the struc-
ture and which / am now able to
put in effect"
While the service will be mod.
ern and complete in every par
ticular, Mr.. Russell said, the idea
of the interior will be along
antique lines, such as he has seen
in other places and especially in
Cuba where some of the most at
tractive places are furnished along
antique lines and are beautiful in
every respect.
Mr.. Russell said that his aims
and intentions are toward having
a place of attractive appearance
within and without. with an ex-
cellent dancing salon and during
the winter season lunch counter
which will furnish viands of the
best and cater to the tastes of
those who know what excellent
food and first class service means.
