KING MAKES
 DISCOVERY

Before the war. the King of Bel giun. while on a hunting trip in Mur- man Land, on the Russian Arctic coast, chanced to pass through a town that contained many queer looking buildings. Turning to his guide the king inquired the reason for these odd shacks-
 They, sir" replied the guide, "are where the people of this country take their baths. You see. there are no doctors in this town or vicinity. the nearest being many, many miles away. If disease gains foothold here, there would be a great loss of life before it could be checked. We must keep epidemics and diseases away. That's why the lawmakers decree that every one bathes at least twice a week. In those buildings, which arc the same as Turkish Baths. good health Is made

BISHOP BRINGS
 MESSAGE FR0M
 DISTANT BRAZIL

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 1.-The Rt. Rev. Lucien Lee KinsoIvIng, D. D., Bishop of the Episcopal Church Tn Brazil, with a diocese larger than lhe United States and a potential flock of uncounted millions scat tered over territory a large part of which has never been explored, is here at the General Convention on his first visit home since the. nation entered the war against Germany. A striking feature of the missionary work which Bishop Kinsolying is do- ing is that in this diocese of mag ntfcent dis-ances," as the represen- tative of all american Church he pre- sides over several score of flourishing churches, mission stations, schools etc. in which the English language is never heard Episcopaianism in Brazil is preached altogether in the Portuguese tongue.
 "A curious effect of this" said the Bishop yesterday, was that when Brazil declared war on Germany fol- lowing the lead of the United States, and the use of the German language was prohibited, the German churches had to come to our church for a supply of bibles, prayer books. hymnaIs and the like, in Portuguese, to enable them to continue their ser vices
 Bishop Kinsolving says all through South America, the representatives Of the church are regarded as the ad- vance guards of American liberty and progress. Prior to and during the war, the German element, which is large in Brazil and Argentine, lost no opportunity to spread abroad this fact and to couple it with propaganda that the Episcopal Church is merely the forerunner of the flag Of the United States
 Nothing but lack of arms and munitions prevented the Germans from jumping in and starting revolu- tion in Brazil when the war started, '' said the bishop yesterday. "The Bra zilians were aware of this and a close watch was kept alv zys on the Argentine border to prevent arms from being smuggled in. In addi- tion to which, the Brazilian au- thorities took the precaution of hay ing every bridge, every railway sta ton, and a large part of the railway lines guarded constantly while the war lasted"
