Examine a piece of fine and costly
lace. What is 1t fundamentally?
II is net BY origin 1t Is q hsn
net The first lacemaker was a fish
erman, or perhaps his wife.
All of the beautiful Iaces we know
today are developed from that clever
invention, the fish net. They bark
back, therefore, far into the prehis-
toric.
The first white men who came TO
America found no lacemakers on this
continent, but they did find the H.
dams weaving fabrics OF, cotton, yucca
and other fabrics, With elaborate pat
tern designs. They %erecpartieularly
skillful at a certain sort of drawn
work." WE DJs.31 13if
The California Indians of today
make cotton laee, but the art has been
taught to them by white people. The
pottery they make for sale is some
times adorned With this lace.
y Which suggests mention of the fact
that the early Indians often decorated
their pottery with textile patterns by
impressing the latter upon the clay
while soft.

You Don't Get the Strength and

When over-work. lack Of sleep, improper
food and impure air sap the iron from your
blood and make you feel weak, nervous,
irritable and outof-sorts, it is important
that you should at once put more iron into
your blood. Without iron the blood loses
the power to change food into living tissue
and therefore nothing that you eat does you
the proper amount of good because you
don't get the full strength out Of il. Your
food merely passes through your system

wide apart that the mill can't grind. Be
