ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITER'S
Several Of the Most Noted Novellsts
Deserted the Brush for Lit
erary Work.

Several artists Of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen,
and when they have died they have
left their mark behind them as lit
erary men, observes an exchange. Will
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set Of novels since Dick
ems and Thackeray ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when he
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making European fame with the pen
Gil Us satirist Of society. He sudden
ly startled the world with "Trilby,"
and set two continents comparing feet.
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. He
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells Of
Thackeray calling on Charles Dickens
to see If he could get. the commission
to illustrate one of his earlier novels.
He had not written "Vanity Fair"
then!
A very distinguished artist-author
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was
supreme in both arts.

Progress.

Sending messages by lightning, trav-
cling at 40 miles to the hour, cross
Ing in week the ocean which the May
flower perilously breasted, In our
sumptuous vessels, framed of iron, lux
urious in appointment, propelled from
within. and gay with color as so many
swimming summer gardens-these ap-
plauded achievements do not tend Of
necessity to the upbuilding of nobler
courage, to the development Of lu-
minous moral wisdom, to the culture of
even philosophical refinement, or the
nurture of the temper Of devout as
piration. On the other hand, do we
not sometimes feel that virtue among
us is coming to be too much a mat
ter of manners; that the intense SUBJ
jective processes from which august
Character is derived are in measure
being superseded by the mechanical
contrivances and the physical sue
cesses with which our noisy years re-
sound; and that the grand and lovely
spirits, which are present Still, and in
which, whenever we touch them, we
find strange charm and inspiration.
are fewer and lonelier than they were?

Send Letters
of Cheer to
Soldier Boys

II you have a boy at the front or In
. training camp where Uncle Sans
armies are being prepared for service
In the trenches. write him cheerful
and encouraging letters. Keep out Of
your letters anything that might cause
him worry or grief or make him dis
satisfied with his lot. This Is the plea
OF an officer to the mothers ana IA.
theirs and sisters and sweethearts Of
the men in his command. Upon those
at home, he declares. rests much Of
the responsibility for making efficient
and courageous soldiers out of their
boys.
"You who wait at home with aching
hearts. have not discharged your full
duty by merely giving your sons and
loved ones to the cause" declares this
officer.
I'm his new experiences, in q strange
land. away from relatives and friends,
exposed to the immoral influences that
teo often invade the camp, weakened
by inconsistencies, nervous from view
Ing or contemplating the horrors Of
war. exhausted by the burden of work,
your boy will need your help most.
your love and gentle words of encour-
agement. AS you love him and desire
him to be brave and true, you mus:
write and encourage him, and do all
you can to help US speedily mold him
into '6rst-class fighting man.
"You now can splendidly serve your
country by writing encouraging letters
to your boy. A good letter from you
will greatly influence your boys life,
and improve his work. You must
write no gloomy forecasts, nothing
that would cause dissatisfaction or
worry or grief. He will have all he
can bear of this at the front. All let
tiers should radiate love. cheer, cour-
age and hope. Don't let the shadow
of your own sorrow, however great,
fall upon the letters you write to your
boy.
''Every mother should know that eff
hciency Is the best protection for her
son; that skillful men who have stud
led their part, whose minds are clear,
not only contribute more to the sue
cess of the organization but stand
far greater chance of escaping injury,
both from the enemy and disease, than
the man who is not efficient.
Inspire your boys. Make them feel
that YOU at home are 'rootin' and bet
tin for the home team. Urge them
to do all they can to become their own
ideal Of the best soldier and the best
man. Encourage them to honesty, so
briefly and morality. Tell them of
your confidence in their strength, char.
acter and courage"

Cooking Dried Foods.

The palatability Of dried foods de-
ponds largely upon the manner in
which they are prepared for serving.
In the process of drying fruits and
vegetables most of the water is re-
moved. This water must be supplied
in the process Of preparation. The
best way tG accomplish this is by soak
Ing the products several hours, such
as over night. before they are cooked.
The product should always be cooked
In the water in which 1t has been
soaked, otherwise much food material
will be lost.
In cooking dried fruits and vegeta-
bles the slower and longer the process
the better the results. The long, slow
cooking not only makes a much more
plump and misunderstanding product
but lends better flavor.
Directions for cooking dried fruits
and vegetables are summarized by
Miss Addie d. Root Of the University
Of Missouri college of agriculture, as
follows:
1. Wash the product. 2. Soak sew.
eral hours, to replace the water which
has been dried out. 8. Cook slowly
several hours. 4. For fruits use as lit
tie water as possible and only little
sugar. 5. If it is fruit which has a
fiat taste, add little lemon Juice or
a little cream of tartar. 6. Chopped
nuts may be sprinkled in stewed fruit
for variety and to increase the food
value.

was fine for a game and just cold

to Coach Ward for the success of
the team this year and the victory
