There is a story told of Giotto be-
fore his reputation was established. 1t
was the custom of the popes at Rome,
who were the greatest patrons of art
and literature then in the world, to
send ambassadors to all cities and
countries, seeking artists and men of
talent. Coming to Florence, this am
bassador, after collecting sketches
from the different artists these
sketches to be taken to the pope for
his Judgment was told of Giotto. Up
on requesting sketch of him, Giotto
took piece of drawing material and
with one motion of his brush drew
perfect circle The ambassador, who
was in velvet, about whose neck hung
a chain of gold, betokening his rank
of noble, was very indignant that an
unknown artist should ridicule him,
and refused to take the circle. Giotto
said: ''The pope will understand"
After much persuasion by friends of
Giotto, he finally yielded Presenting
the elaborate sketches to the pope, he
with much trepeditation presented
Giotto's circle, whereupon the pope
laid aside the sketches and asked him,
From whom had he this circle % He
said: "From an unknown youth of
Florence" Much to his chagrin and
surprise, the pope sent him post haste
back to Florence to bring him this
youth who could make such a circle
with one sweep of his brush.
Giotto was followed by Orcagra in
1903, he by Fra Angelica, 1896; then
Masaccio, 1902; by Sandro Botticelli
in 1447; Credi in 1859; Leonardo di
Vinci in 1452. Fra Bartolomeo, CHR

HOW SOLDIERS LIVE AND FIGHT
IN THE TRENCHES

London, March 30.-When it rains
the trenches are half filed with water.
The cold is always of the damp, pene-
trating, dreadful kind that chills to the
very marrow. Hot food is served three
times a day to the men In the trenches
by other soldiers, who scurry like rab-
bits through long uncovered tunnels
running back from the works conceal
ing the guns.
These men In the trenches must
have good food IN order that they can
have good blood, and if they have good
blood, they have good courage, they
keep warm because their circulation is
good and their extremities are warm
from exercise. Many men are inval-
ided, however, because their blood and
their stomach were not right to with
stand the awful hardshfps of this win
ter campaign.
When you do not properly digest
your food your blood becomes thin and
every organ of the body soon feels the
effect. The result is-headaches.
