Korea Eats Rice With a Spoon.

While China and Japan take rice
with chopsticks, Korea eats hers with
a spoon. Prediction is that the next
step will usher in the broad fork.
"whence comes this peculiarity?" asks
the Korea Magazine. "One reason is
that In the Analects of Confucius Il rec
ord exists that the master ate his mil

Confucius is reverently regarded in
Korea, and the people of that land

tuberculosis 10 Often the Result Of
Lack Of Nourishment.

/ tuberculosis 10 Often the Result o.
Lack Of Nourishment.
While tuberculosis is caused by Z
well known germ, we often have .
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want Of proper nourishment
This would seem to be a forerunner OF
the true disease Of tuberculosis.
This want OF nourishment is TO be &C,
counted for in several ways. The di,
gestive system may be naturally weak
that is, born weak. 1t may have been
strong in early life, but abused by the
use of alcohol, eating rapidly when
physically or mentally tired or by
gulping food without proper chewing
A plunge bath just after eating will
often arrest digestion. The drinking
Of Ice water during a meal or iced tea
and coffee will reduce the temperature
of the stomach so that the natural
process Of digestion is interfered with
As result, the food is not properly
prepared for the organs to absorb IL.
Therefore it is not taken up by the
blood stream as 1t travels through the
system of arteries to build up the diff
ferent tissues of the body.
There are certain things that nature
demands for building up healthy bodies.
We must have some nitrogen in the
form Of meat or eggs or beans. We
must have some fats, and we must
have some starches; otherwise the body
will be partly starved and disease
germs will thrive in the different It's
sues. This occurs more often In the
lungs than anywhere else, but there is
hardly an organ In the body that will
not, under certain conditions, become
tuberculous. - DIR. Samuel G. Dixon,
Health Commissioner of PENNSYLVANIA.

The Laces of Belgium.

The wholesale destruction of towns
during the present war and the conse
quent emigration of the people of Bel.
gum will doubtless affect the production
of lace, Antwerp, Ypres, Alost, Courtrai
and Bruges being the centers of the lace
industry of Flanders, which vies with
Italy in the production of beautiful laces
The original lace of Belgium is the old
Flanders point. Mechlin lace, so much
used on the fchus of India muslin at the
close of the eighteenth century on ae.
count of its lightness and delicacy, is no
longer made.
The needle point of Brussels is well
known. The wonderfully fine thread
used in making this lace is made from
fax grown in Brabant and stepped in
the clear water of the river Lys at Cour-
trai. This thread is spun in cellars, since
contact with the dry air causes it to
break. A ray of light is thrown on it,
but the spinner is guided by touch and
stops her wheel when she feels the slight
est unevenness of the thread. Real Brus-
sells handmade thread is very expensive,
owing to the SMALL number of spinners
and the tedious and unhealthful work.
Machine made net is therefore generally
used, but is not as fine as that made by
hand
Lace was made in Brussels in the fif-
teenth century and few rare old speci-
mems are still preserved in the old
of Brabant
The Flanders lace workers taught the
art of bobbin lace to the rest of Europe.
Prior to the French revolution the most
esteemed pillow lace was Vaenciennes,
made at Valenciennes, once a town of
Flemish Hainaut This lace was made
in damp cellars where the air was favor
able to the fineness of the thread and
was ruinous TO the sight, many women
lace workers going blind at 30. All lace
made at Falenciennes was called ''vrai,"
all made elsewhere 'fausse Valenciennes - /
After the revolution this lace was made |
in Belgium at Alost, Ypres, Bruges, |
Client and Courtrai. Only an inch and /
/ half could be made in day Of II
hours, making a pair of sleeve ruffies a
years work. Several hundred bobbins
we're used in the making of one piece of
ace.
These lacemakers win now be scat
cred, and may, as in former times when
lriven by war or by edicts against their
eligious beliefs, carry their craft to 9th
n lands. 1t may be given to us to en-
outrage this wonderful art, to give an
impetus to this industry and revive again
N appreciation and love of laces, once
more as beautiful as in the Golden age

 HAVEN IN HOLLAND
Refugees From Army Service Cross Border in Large Numbers

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
 The Hague, Netherlands, June 26. Thousands of deserters mostly from the German army now are swelling the stream of refugees pouring into Holland from adjoining countries Holland has become great place of refuge for fugltives fleeing from the terrors of the German front, food hardships or the German military regime.
 So numerous have these war re- fugees become that weekly priodj- cal, called The Combat" has been established at Amsterdam to carry on revolutionary socialist propaganda among them. A society of deserters has been formed in Holland, appar- antly by German agents in order to discover the names of deserters and exert pressures on their families to induce them to return to Germany. Returning deserters no longer are shot but are sent to the front.
 The country is overrun by a small army of spies, persons of both sexes whose work is to spy into Dutch af- fairs, to spy upon the belligerents and sometimes to spy upon one another
 These refugees, deserters and gov
  prisoners of war of virtually every Entente nationality, fugitive Poles and other peoples of Eastern Europe, fleeing from forced labor and other evils have swelled the immigration flood until the problem of what dispo- sition' to make of these foreigners has become acute in Holland.
 There are many decent men among 1o the sufferings and slaughter at the front, or rebelling against their gov ernment's system, or policy have shaken the dust of their fatherlard from their feet. Quite number are convalescent men who were ordered back to the front. A great number are undesirables to whom many crimes are attributed. Some become but wholesale banishmert from the frontier regions now virtual ly has closed this profession to them. Police control of them is very made quate.
 Everyone Is Welcome. ! Proud of it's traditional hospitality, Holland opened it's frontiers freely to all corners but public opinion and the government has discovered that there are formidable dangers inherent in this aggregation of immi grants.
 What might not happen, Holland CTS often ask themselves if Holland suddenly became involved in the war with all these vast numbers of foreigners spread all over the coun- try, many of them of the worst or at least of the most doubtful charac- ter?
 Infectious disease repeatedly has been introduced. The great exodus of Belgians brought typhus and dysen- tery; Austro- Hungarian emigrants from Galicia, on their way to join relatives in America, and suspected smugglers from that province, brought smallpox: escaped prisoners of-war from infected German camps and others occasionally introduced diseases like spotted fever and men, ingitis. In each case the disease was quickly checked.
 Now, however, smallpox has a real hold in parts of Germany as well as in countries farther east. and it is pointed out how easily this and other sourges may be brought across the frontire.

Linden, announced a few days ago that the increased influx, and the bodily condition of persons entering the country, had necessitated more drastic sanitary measures. Barracks are to be erected at five different points of the frontier. where all Ger mans entering the country, of whom the great majority are deserters, will be disinfected, while a camp is to be erected for the accommodation of
 dangerous or undesirable elements among deserters. As Yegards the na-
 tional danger, the minister for war,
 Major General General N. Bosboom. endeavered to reassure public opin- ion in parliament a few days ago by declaring that, if Holland became involved in the war, it would be made evident that the government was far more conversant with the position as regards foreigners. and had taken far more adequate precautionary meas ures than most people thought.
