BORN AGAIN BY WAR.

ROME, Nov. THAT the war will
result in rebirth of architectural art,
in vaster and more beautiful buildings
than the Coliseum or the American
skyscraper. is the opinion of DR.. Jesse
Bendict Carter, director of the Amer
lean Academy in Rome, who has just
zeen appointed by the French governor
to deliver the Harvard series Of lee
turers this winter before twelve of its
provincial universities.
DR.. Carter expressed this opinion in
the Roman Forum during an inter-
view with The Associated Press, just
after his first annual lecture there,
lecture which was attended by AM
bassador Thomas Nelson Page and
other Americans. Said DIR. Carter:
AN art renaissance has two basic
requirements, first, a crisis, then the
contributed wealth of a few pople.
This war has furnished both. Let me
explain the second requirement. While
this war has impoverished a majority
of the people of Europe, it has en-
riehed lot of contractors and muni-
ton manufacturers who after the war
will have more money than they can
spend. Such men have ever become
art patrons, stimulators, rather than
buyers of old art treasures, as hap
pers in countries where there are a
great many millionaires.
This war will surely bring a heal
thy reaction in art. 1t means the
death of cubism and other follies. 1t
will bring the intense suffering and
the sympathy therefor which results
in great art productions. One of the
peculiarities of the new artistic tenn
permanent will be an apparent indiffer-
ence to suffering. I have observed
during my war travels everywhere this
apparent Indifference among people
who knew were sufferings desperate
personal losses.
THE new art mind will turn out
products that will astonish by their
beauty and by their bigness. This war
Las been an inconceivably immense
thing, and it is making our minds ac-
customed to UNNECESSARILY big OBJ
jects.
Il look for American art to go for
ward, get the inspiration of the war,
and to continue to lead the world, not
only in bigness but in beauty

Pepper Meat Cups.

Take as many large peppers as you
need, either green or red, but of the
sweet variety, and as round as you can
get them. Cut off the tops, take out
the seeds, pour boiling water over them
and cook gently for five minutes. Drain
well, place in a baking dish and fill
with a mixture made according to
these directions: Take enough of the
white meat of chicken-other meats
will do if you have no cooked chicken
on handful a cup with the meat
chopped fine, one and half cupfuls of;
bread crumbs moistened with little
hot water to swell them; also largei
tomato peeled and chopped, with two
teaspoonfuls of grated or chopped
onion, an ounce of butter, level ia
blespoonful of chopped parsley, half:
teaspOOnful of salt, dash of red
pepper and raw egg well beaten.
Pour little stock or hot water around
the peppers and a very little over each
one and bake 25 minutes.-New York

MANY WAYS OF USING CIDER
There Is No Need of Consigning 1t to
the Vinegar Barrel Just Because
1t Is Getting "Hard."

When your sweet cider begins to get
"hard" don't consign it to the vinegar
barrel, but try using it in the follow
ing ways:
To bake apples or pears, use cider
instead of water to cover half the
fruit. Sweeten with brown sugar in
stead of white, add a few cloves, a
stick Of cinnamon, pinch of ground
ginger, and the result will be a dish
of deliciously favored fruit covered
with rich, spicy lot of juice.
Or use cider as the foundation of a
gelatin or minute tapioca dessert in
place of water. Sweeten to taste, add
bit of lemon juice, and when begin
ming to set add some chopped dates
and English walnuts. Or it can be
served perfectly plain and rather tart
with the meat course.
1t seems to fit right in with a tur-
key or chicken dinner, just as much
so as cranberry jelly, and is de-
lightful change.

Brine for Pickles.

It is the custom with vegetables
such as tomatoes and cucumbers to
soak them in brine before putting
them through the regular picking
process. The brine is probably used
because it withdraws moisture from
the tissue of the vegetable and makes
it possible to obtain a firmer result,
renders a milder flavor, gives the de-
sired salt taste, and adds to the keep
ing quality Of the pickles.
The strength of the brine required
depends on the length of time the
vegetable to be picked is to remain
in the brine.
Too strong brine sOftens and
spoils the vegetable. The proportions
should be: To one quart of water add
one-third to One-half cupful salt. The
brine should be strong enough to float
fresh egg.

COOKING UTENSILS OF GLASS
Baking Dishes Made of New Material
Have Been Found Very Satisfac-
tory and Almost UnbreakabIe.

A new material now on the market
for cooking utensils is glass. A great
variety of cooking dishes are made,
but the baking dishes or casseroles,
would probably appeal most to the
home-keeper. No silver or copper con-
tainer is required for the casserole
when put on the table and hence they
are comparatively inexpensive.
A great variety of dishes have been
cooked in the glass casserole with
splendid results. The material is
cooked uniformly throughout the dish,
due to the conductivity of glass and
the results have been just as gOo0
with souffle as with a meat pie.
The oven can be better regulated
since one can see the material cook
ing in the DISH. e. one can see
whether it is cooking too fast or too
slow.
The utensils are attractive and
seem to be almost unbreakable.
The casserole has proved to be the
most satisfactory baking dish we
have ever used.-Magdalene Hahn,

Collins, Colo.

TO ECONOMIC DIGESTION
The Eating of Vegetables Without
Mastication Is Productive of
Gastric Rebellion.

Indigestion is often attributed to
proved and rightly so, for boiling their
food; but it is interesting TO observe
that while the boiling of meat is al
ways severely censured, one never
hears any blame attached to those who
swallow fruit by the mOuthful, and de
YOUR uncooked vegetables without any
attempt at mastication. Nevertheless
it is the hasty swallower of vegetable
fiber who is really the inciter of gas
trio rebellion. Vegetables are, at all
times, very imperfectly digested by the
stomach, and require their tough
fibers to be thoroughly broken up by
the teeth if they are to be dissolved
even in the bowel.
There is well-knOwn saying which
AYERS that digestion waits upon appe-
tite, and there is no doubt that of all
the helps to digestion keen desire for
food is the most powerful and impor-
tSnt. But appetite itself often de-
ponds upon conditions which are indie
pendent of the bOdy's absolute necessi-
ties. Thus the aspect of the food, its
smell, taste and even the manner in
which it is served, all help either to
stimulate desire for it, or to induce
sense of aversion, while the environ
ment of the diner often exercises i'm
pOrtant influence, beneficial or other
wise. Brain work of any kind inter
feres with the rapid digestion of food
and even the habit of reading during
meal times, practiced by so many, is
conducive neither to appetite nor di'
gestion. A well-lighted room, music and
frivolous conversation will often per.
nit chronic dyspeptic to enjoy with
out remorse the pleasures of the table
while depressing atmosphere, uncon
genial company and unappetizing
dishes may induce fit of Indigestion
in the most healthy individual.-FOOd
