GLORY OF ART STILL LIVES
Oespite the War In All Its Bitterness
the More Pleasing Impulses Con-
tinue to Reign Supreme.

One great human interest which
Ieels the grip of the war in all IT'S bit
terness and no less in it's inspiring
glories, still keeps its place above the
nerce shocks and bewildering changes
OF the times. Art thrills to every i'm
pulse that stirs the heart and soul of
the world but 1t does not lose it's hold
on beauty. 1t yearns with sympathy
and CLOVIS with fine consciousness of
the best and most that the nations bat
Ting for justice and freedom can give,
but it does not cease to make eternal
principles and purposes it's guiding
force, its compass and it's chart.
Painters still seek and now and
again find the very soul of natures
varying moods. Sculptors still carve
cold marble into the image of life and
make it eloquent in its appeal to
thought and feeling. Musicians still
voice the deepest longings of the spirit
and speak language international
and immortal. Art lives as nature
lives, beyond the power of the most
fearful commissions of the worlds fury
to destroy or stun into temporary par
alysis.
1t is well that such a refuge remains
open to humanity. 1t is monstrous
that any nation should wantonly strike
at so benefcent an element in human
life.-EXchange.

Will Not Visit "Meat Houses"

In Tokyo, says Good Health, a GER
tain class of Japanese are adopting
the practice of eating meat, as they
have acquired the habit of using TO-
bacco and drinking whisky, through
their desire to initiate the westerners.
Some have an idea that by fiesh-eat-
Ing they may be able to increase their
size and vigor.
It is noticeable, however, that the
Japanese women refuse to eat meat
and will not visit the restaurants
where meat is served, which are known
as "meat houses" The Japanese wom-
en- regard it improper to visit such
places.
