Saga of a Strategist Death of Eleutherios Venizelos, stormy petrel of Greek affairs, again centers interest on one of the strangest careers in European politics, for this man, whom Woodrow Wilson once called the “greatest statesman in Europe” is the nearest thing to a Conquering Alexander which modern Greece has been able to offer. His power lay, not in the legions of Macedon but in the manifestations of an inner patriotic fire and a genius for ex- ploiting ideas. By his own force of character and grim tenacity Venizelos raised Greece to an importance in world politics which was at variance with her military strength or the extent of her territory. . It was significant and perhaps fitting that this great European champion of democracy died just at the time that his theory of government reached a low ebb in Europe. He may have had dreams of restoring the glories that were Greece’s under the ancient Republic, but he lived to see the monarchy restored and the idea of popular rule trampled in the dust in most of the continent. Twice did he see kings forced from the throne of Greece and twice did he see them return. His declining years must have been embittered by the fact that the Republic for which he risked his life, his fortune and his good name had so little stability. His entire career is a study in political strategy, both at home and abroad. A strong man, fired with a dominating idea, he made his presence felt in the nation. In the troubles which beset southeastern Europe throughout most of his life he was quick to see the strategic importance of Greece and to enlist the interest of the great maritime powers in what went on there. Thus it was that he was able to lead the Greek uprising of 1917 which forced the abdication of King Constantine and recognition of the Venizelos regime by England, France and Russia. This threw Greece into the war, an event of more signifi- cance in world affairs than the military power of the nation justified, for it improved England’s position in the Near East, gave her strategic bases from which to guard her route to the Orient and added to the difficulties of the Turks, whose part in the war has usually been underestimated, for the world war might easily have been lost by the Allies in Asia minor. For these reasons, as well as for the part ‘he played at the peace conference, Venizelos had an important part in shaping the destinies of our times but the world moved on and left him behind, as it did with other war-time leaders, and new situa- tions had developed new leaders before death closed his event- ful career. Wall Street Optimism While the farm country struggles valiantly forward on what it hopes is the road leading back to prosperity, it is inter. esting to note that Wall Street, the nation’s big financial center, seems to have long-since turned the corner. : Proof of the fact is contained in a story appearing in the New York Times which tells how J. P. Morgan and company has raised the wages of all employes to a point above the 1929 level. And that, it will be recalled, was a-fat period for Walt Street. This news caused The Times to investigate the question of Wall Street wages generally and it found that “restoration of the salary cuts made in the depression years has not been unusual among brokerage and investment houses in the last six months.” Then it adds that, in addition, “many firms in the financial district distributed Christmas bonuses.” * The news is encouraging. No good American begrudges the workers in the financial squirrel cage this return of pros- Perity. And it may be that a little of it will trickle down to the farmers within the next few months: eas 2 Meanwhile, it offers new proof that business sentiment has taken a marked turn for the better. The financial greata wouldn’t be raising salaries if they were lacking in optimism.

It may discommode those involved temporarily, but then again it may be the means of saving their lives and preventing much hardship.

If the river fails to flood it may be said that evacuation of the bottoms was foolish and unnecessary and the second guess- ers will have plenty of opportunity to exercise their wisdom, but if it does flood it will prove to have been ‘good judgment. And there is no denying that all of the elements which usually. Produce a flood are present in the current situation.

On Wheeling island, in the middle of the river, residents fled homes with the murky torrents even with third- story windows.

The stunned populace which had seen its city floated under 18 feet of water took hope as the weather bu- reau forecast that by noon the water level would be 20 feet below that of Tuesday night's crest. The city’s “Golden Triangle” busi- hess section was drained of water Fri- day morning, and electric light service was partially restored. At Wilkes-Barre the water dropped @ foot before dawn. The first reports from isloated Williamsport came from C.

As a result of these ‘precautions, both Adjutant Herbert Smith of the Salvation Army and Miss Mary Cashel of the Red Cross were confident that any eventuali- ties would be cared for without trouble, So far no serious trouble has oc- curred in the bottom lands in this area. A part of the bottoms southeast of the city are under water and there is some water on the Morton county side but not enough to cause trouble.

VITAMIN THERAPY OF CHRONIC ARTHRITIS Large doses of uric acid administered to a normal person cause no ap: parent il! etfects, certainly roe e oy Ved aed ated with gout or any form of arthritis (rheu! you, 0) 5 Deposits of mono-sodium urate are found in or near the joints in certain cases diagnosed as gout (or were found in the days of our fathers, though rarely today). Few physicians today believe uric acid or such uratic deposits in the tissues the cause of any disease. Uric acid is a normal end-product of the metabolism or combustion of certain nitrogenous food substances in the body, constant oxidation of tissue nuclei; the blood of a healthy person con- tains approximately one-fiftieth of a grain of uric acid in each ounce; the body excretes ten to fifteen grains of uric acid daily. So we can’t ascril disease to the presence of uric acid in the blood or to the deposit of uric acid salts in the tissues. Accurate analyses of blood fail to show any definite change in the uric acid level in cases diagnosed as typical gout, and com~- monly show an excess of uric acid in quite different affections, such as leur . kemia and pneumonie. In short, I blush like anything to admit, the evi- dence shows quite clearly that the medical profession guessed wrong when we adopted the uric acid concept of disease. Changes in the quantity and character of the uric acid compounds in blood and tissues may be an index of the fault of metabolism, but cannot tell us the cause of the trouble. is necessary to lower the intake of the nitrogenous material from = les » which uric acid is derived the physician prescribes a purine-free is, foods which contain little or no purine base, and such diet excludes alt gether certain items, such as yeast, liver, sweetbread, brain, kidney, meat extracts, soups, gravies, beef tea, tea,coffee, cocoa, malt liquors, pork, mut- ton, chicken, veal, salmon, halibut. The purine-free diet allows free use of milk, eggs, cheese, butter, sugar, white bread, rice, tapioca, cabbage, cauli- flower, lettuce, macaroni, strawberries, for elderly patients a little wine. Foods in the purine-poor list and therefore permissible in some circumstances are potatoes, onions, turnips, carrots, parsnips, asparagus, rhubarb, spinach, dates, figs, codfish, sole, oatmeal, peas, beans. Even the strictest purine-free diet gives only indifferent results, in the treatment of ailments regarded as of gouty nature. I suspect the only ben- efits of purine-free diet regimes are in reality (1) the lowered caloric in- take, and (2) the increased intake of minerals and vitamins in such foods. Please note, old fogies, that nothing is said about “red” and “white” or “dark” and “light” meat—for the simple reason that there is no appreci+? able difference between them so far as uric acid metabolism is concerned. If you have followed a diet that suggests the contrary, you've been had, that’s all. The quack who prescribed or suggested your funny diet may not have deceived you intentionally; he just didn’t know any better — that’s what keeps him quacking it like that. Meat is. meat regardless of its color. Long before the new treatment of chronic arthritis with massive doses of vitamin D was developed we had postulated that the malady might be a manifestation of prolonged moderate vitamin shortage in many cases. This assumption is now proving true in the experience of physicians who are putting the treatment to a clinical test. Brown.
