information issued recently by the
United States Public Health Ser

pellagra are in most cases not in

condition invariably dates from
faulty diet Of earlier months.
Therefore, il due precautions are
exercised by individuals at the

this scourge may be greatly lessen

The report further calls attention

should be recognized by those who

those. who have had previous at

warning symptoms are extreme
nervousness or change in the men,

Weakness or debility, disinclina-
tion to undertake the ordinary
daily tasks, and unexplained diges-
tive symptoms may all be premon-
tory signs. These symptoms do
not, of course, necessarily mean
the development Of pellagra, but
taken in connection with the his
tory of q one-sided; monotonous
diet, they serve as definite warn

Mr.. Chaplin tells how, although the
country is largely treeless,. one Of the
finest forests In the world is to be

the affection of the people for 1t, often
saving it in time of stress by sacrifices
and voluntary offerings. He reminds
us that Amsterdam is built ON 80
islands, connected by more than $50
bridges; that the royal exchange Is
built on $4,000 piles and the royal pal

Of the ills of war with little chance
of ever sharing it's benefits. In this
connection an extract Of study pre-
pared by William Wisner Chaplin for
the National Geographic society Is
full Of interest.
Here is a section Of the globe which
was almost entirely overlooked by ma
ture in the original distribution Of iron
and other metals, Of coal, stone and
wood. In fact, to Il great extent even
the land itself was wrong side up at
the start. The existence of Petrograd
and Venice is regarded with wonder
ment, although they are cities covering
small areas. What, then, can be- said
of Holland, where the land, made and
reclaimed from the sea, spreads out In
great fertile plains and meadows thou
| sands Of square miles in extent.
The wind has furnished the power in
the battle through which the land was
wrested from the sea; while even the
water, against which Dutch ingenuity
so long and successfully plotted, has
repeatedly obeyed their summons and
come to the rescue of besieged cities,
overwhelming their enemies and pre-
serving the nation.
One-quarter of the whole kingdom
lies below the normal level Of the sea
while 80 per cent of all the territory
of the country would be submerged but
for the bikes.

WHERE FLOOD BEAT A KING
Termonde, Belgium, Routed Army OF
the Grand Monarque by Cutting
the Dykes.

Termonde, prosperous town OF
10000 inhabitants at the beginning Of
the war, spreads over both banks of
the Bender river and the right bank
of the Scheldt, the Bender forming q
juncture with the larger waterway at
this point, says war geography bull

ciety on one of the cities of Belgium.
Situated only 16 miles east of Client
the great heart Of Flemish history,
Termonde itself has past of which
its citizens may we'll feel proud. It
was here that Louis XIV suffered an
ignominious defeat at the very be-
ginning of his War Of Devolution, or
Queens War, in which he set about
to upset political customs and substi-
tute civil usage in the matter of royal
Inheritance. Louis defeat was due

son but to the self-sacrifice Of her peo-
pie, who employed the irresistible wa
tiers of the North sea to fight their
battle for them, as has been the case
so many times in the history Of the
Low Countries. The dykes were cut
and the investing army of the Grand
Monarque fled before the flood.
During the War Of the Spanish Sue
cession Termonde bravely resisted the
great English general, Marlborough,
but after a ten days bombardment
was forced to yield.
On many maps Termonde goes by
its Flemish name Of Dendermonde. At
the outbreak of the war 1t was one
of the five fortified towns of Belgium,
but its defenses were not of modern
design. The city is 25 miles by rail
southwest of Antwerp. The most in
teresting buildings in Termonde are
the Hotel de Vile formerly the Cloth

and the Gothic church of NOtre Dame,
which contains two valuable pictures

Girls Particular About Dress.
"a tiny maid of four, a wee laddie
unable to speak plainly wear precise
ly the same costumes as mother and
father-full, long, black skirts, white
cap, gold spiral, coral beads, ana
apron for the one; black cloth or vel
vet trousers and jacket, much adorned
with silver buttons, silver-buckled
shoes, and queer black hats for the
other.
1.-THE tiny baby pats and smooths
and settles Its many wide skirts, adj
justs it's beads, and feels its gold spi-
rails, to be quite sure they are all as
they ought to be, with as much care
as it's mother. It must be confessed
that this anxiety of dress is much
more developed in baby girls than In
boys. Perhaps it is only another ex-
ample of masculine conceit, this SEEM
ing Indifference. The little boer, rs
the country boys are called, may think
that he cannot fail to look well under
any circumstances, and his principal
| purpose seems to be to have his hat
tilted over his eye at just fathers an
gle. But the little girl simply must
| know that her cap is straight and her
skirt even and unwrinkled before she
can be happy"
According to Mrs Albrecht, many OF
the women and men Of Holland pro-
| claim their adherence to Catholicism
or Professionalism by their dress. Inc

officer in the Prussian army. AS the
king of Prussia was pledged to support
a native noble for the Roumanian prin'
cipality, Charles could not be espoused
openly, but upon the advice of Bis
marck he resigned his commission in
the Prussian army and, under an as
sumed name and with forged pass
port, made his way down the Danube
into the country over which he was to
rule most successfully, first as prince
and later as king, for more than half q
century.

which in Roman times was known as
Egota, the station from which Trajan's
two roads of conquest diverged, one up
the banks Of the Danube and the other
striking north into Dacia. 1t was the
latter road which necessitated the con-
struction of the famous Trajan bridge
across the Danube at this point, the
largest in the Roman empire. How
well the great Damascus architect,
Apollodorus, designed this structure Is
indicated by the fact that after more
than 1880 years portions of some OF
it's 20 stone piles described by the his
torian Gibbon are still to be seen, and
perhaps it would have done service
for centuries had it not been destroyed
to prevent the invasion of the terri
tory south of the river by the Goths.
The remains Of this famous work were
not discovered until 1884, the honor OF
the find being credited to Michael Jo-
seph Quin, who made systematic
search for the piers while accompany
ing the Hungarian road-builder, Count
Szechenyi, on one Of his journeys down
the Danube. The stones which are
now disclosed at low water are the
ruins of piers 145 feet high, So feet

The writer shows how formerly ev
eryone of Hollands many islands and
most of her many towns had their own
particular and distinctive dress, and
how, even to this day, in a little coun-
try less than fourth as big as New
York, one may still recognize the
places from which many people come
by their costumes. She draws a pic

drive to the butter market at Middle
burg, descend from their wagons and

nous skirts and aprons, much patting
Of their cOmely Dutch caps, and much

"When the farmers wife comes to
town she replaces her workaday apron
with one of black sateen," says Mrs.
Albrecht, almost as long and full as
her skirts; it is close shirred at the
