'Beijrtan Immigrants In Xorth Carolina
i Mr Thomas Settle, publicity chair
krfan of the North Carolina committee
jot the Commission of Relief in Bel
;grutn has given some' interesting in
formation relative to Belgian immi
tgrants recently settling in this stae,
Inear her former home in Wilmington,
Mrs. Settle states that the McRae and
icompany land improvement company
(f Wilmington has little colonies of
:Greeks, Germans and others on their
; truck farms around the country near
Wilmington, It is said to be a model
fand modern plant with irrigation, etc.,
fand to this place Belgian families are
! coming. Mrs. Settle gives for publica
tion the following interesting story of
one of these immigrants sent to the
Wilmington Star from Warsaw:
1 ' The greatest musical treat this town
lever enjoyed was the event of Mon-
day evening when Mrs. Kmile Vande
Zande, of Brussels, Belgium, enter-
tamed at the opera house with a mu-
steal concert.
I The coming of this celebrated singer
io this small town has pathos, sadness
jond poverty in it that only the ravages
tot war could bring in a few weeks'
'time. Mrs. Faison Peirce was on the
'Atlantic Coast Line train No. 4f) re
J turning from Calypso about a month
'ago when she saw a party of Belgian
immigrants on train; the people ap
peared to be refined and educated and
Mrs. Pierce spoke to them, saying, "I
I don't know if you can speak English
lor not, but I want to give you a hearty
handshake of sympathy and welcome
I to America and to North Carolina."
! Mrs. Vande Zande acknowledged the
i welcome in fairly good English and
I in the conversation which followed
i Mrs. Peirce found tbat both Mrs.
Vande Zande and her husband were
unusually well educated people, speak
ing English, French and German flu
ently. Mrs. Pierce requested Mrs. Vande
Zande to prepare a paper stating the
condition of her country before the
war, and also telling of conditions af
ter the country had been devastated
bv Germany. Mrs. Vande Zande in
a modest way, told Mrs. Pierce that
she would prepare the paper, but that
Fhe made more use of her voice than
nhe had of her pen, then Mrs. Pierce
invited the lady to come here. The
Belgians continued their .lournoy to
Bolton, a few miles below Wilmiiurton.
. Mrs. Vande Zande arrived bringing
with her not only the paper Mrs.
Pierce requested of her to prepare of
Belgium, but medals and testimonials
of her position in the mueical world of
Belgium and other countries of Eu
rope. The most to be prized of these
honors is an immense heavy gold med
al presented her by the Brussels Royal
Society of Harmony July 1914. On
this medal is also the Royal Crown
and court-of-arm of Germany. The
errand ouer i In which Mrs. Vande
Zande was awarded this medal was
written by the prince and given In his
caetlev The winning of this medal is
considered one of the greatest compli
ments In the Belgium musical world
and placed Mrs. Vande Zande among1
the Tmwlcn.1 celebrities of Europe. She
also he several other credentials from
Afferent countries of Europe, among
ttmtl being a medal from General
Wise, of France, who 'is now at the
battle front.
Just as this great honor wn given
Mrs. Vande Zande by Brussels Royal
Society of Harmony, war was declared
and she and her husband were forced
to flee from Brussels with only a very
llstle wearing" apparel, when the Ger-mrf-ne
took possession of this beautiful
city'. They escaped into Holland and

THE DAXGEB OF THE
Do you know what dastardly plan
is now on foot to destroy our crown
ing glory?
Pimply this: Someone, (someone
with no hair at all, probably) has in
vented the "Washwoman Coiffure,"
and is trying to wish it on us.
I talked to a scalp expert about it
and she insists that it is ruinous to
the hair and if women adopt it, they
will eventually become as bald as the
probable inventor. (I wager that the
inventor is a bald headed male, over
60, which is a catty thing to say) .
his Is the way it is done:
The hair is first combed and
brushed until every particle of curl,
or wave or softness has vanished,
then it Is screwed on the head in as
tight a knot as can be made.
For evening, this knot is worn
high on the head and for afternoon
and informal occasions, it is worn on
the neck. .
In either way, the whole effect is
like that of a washerwoman at her
work, '
The straining back and tight pin
ning breaks the hair off short and
straightens it hopelessly. Then, too,
the constant pulling is painful and
the woman who Wears it, wrinkles
up her forehead, squints and frowns
all sorts of tiny and big lines in her
face.
I tried 'to get a photograph of this
coiffure, but not a model or friend
would pose for me. One friend, who
is an extreme dresser and occasion
ally dresses her hair in this way, says
she "refuses to be perpetuated in this
ungodly style." She did, however,
give me her photograph, with her
usual coiffure, and I am using it to
day. Can you imagine her beautiful,
luxuriant hair screwed into a hard
knot of unbecomingness? Beautiful
hair is such a wonderful thing to
have. It should be worn as loosely
from there went to England. Having
no means, with thousands of other
Belgians, they were entertained by
charitable friends. No work was to
be had there and seeing farms in east
ern North Carolina advertised they de
cided to come to America and arrived
here with only funds provided by the
company advertising the land, al
though they had been rich in Belgium
before the war began.

years it steadily got worse. I could
not stand on my feet I got so I could
only drag about in the room. Mdst of
the time I was not able to do my work.
I had terrible bearing-down pains,
my back ached all the time and was
ery weak. I could scarcely carry
anything and suffered agony when I
lifted anything. The muscles In my
abdomen were so weak I could scarce
ly lift myself up, straight, and I
thought I would surely grow crooked.

painful, I suffered ln'hips and back
and could hardly raise up at all. At
times, I couldn't sit on the chair
would have to He down. I was in such
agony. I Just sat around and cried. '
At this time, about five years ago.
I began to take Cardul, at my mother's
insistence. After two or three weeks'
use I saw an Improvement. The pains
got less gradually until they disap
peared. In two months I could walk
without pain and could do most of my
work. For about three years my im
provement was steady and continued
until I had back my health and
strength. ".
The cure has been permanent, for I
have been in good health for the past
two years, due to my having taken
Cardul, which effected the cure."
