SOUGHT TO REACH HEARTS
Doctor Holmes Literary Efforts Well
Described by the Writer of
Authors and Friends"

Doctor Holmes social nature, as ex-
pressed in conversation and In his
books, drew him into communication
with very large number of persons.
1t cannot be said, however, in this age
marked by altruisms, that he was al
trustee; on the contrary, he loved
himself and made himself his prime
study-but as member of the human
race. He had his own purposes to
fulfill, his own self-appointed tasks,
and he preferred to take men only on
his own terms. He was filled with
righteous indignation, in reading Car
lyle, to find a passage where, hearing
the doorbell ring one morning when
he was very busy, he exclaimed that
he was afraid it was 'the man Emer-
soni" Yet Doctor Holmes was him
self one Of the most carefully guarded
men, through his years of actual pro-
ducti0n, who ever lived and wrote.
His wife absorbed her life In his, and
mounted guard to make sure that in
terruption was impossible. Neverthe-
less he was eminently a lover of men,
OF he could not have drawn them per-
petually to his side. His writings were
never aimed too high; his sole wish
was to hit the heart, If possible; but
If shot hit the head also he showed
ehildlike pride in the achievement

CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE
Investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain a Satisfactory Amount of
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails of the
sWampS has been found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington to
contain about the same amount of pro-
TEN as rice and corn fiours, with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and it
was regarded as a promising SubSti-
tute with wheat flour to the extent of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
of which he has given an account in
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. P. w.
Claassen tried the flour in several
ways, both as part substitute with
wheat -four in baking and as corn
starch substitute for buildings. Bis
cults containing so and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those of
wheat flour alone, while the buildings
had an agreeable flavor and were sat
isfactory. The flour material is OBJ
tanned from the large underground
rootstalks or rhiZomes, of which il
forms starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rhizomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds and the
core substance, passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
flour at the rate of $500 pounds per
acre. Many thousand acres of cattail
marshes are included in the 1885
square miles of swamp land of the
United States.

more graphically, perhaps, as it has
the effect of moving picture Of those
ancient days embalmed in stone as II
by some sudden enGhantment.
History Wrought in Stone.
Chapter by chapter the entire his
tory Of the Dacian campaigns is re-
vealed, with a continuity of thought
and a precision of historical facts and
verify of detail that are marvellous.
The building of bridges, the natural
difficulties of the country in which
the wars were fought the methods Of
siege and storm, advance and at
tack by land and river, in open field
and against walled cities, the details
of ancient military engineering, cos
tune, arms and all implements of
war, all these things are wrought there
with such a wonderful fertility Of de-
sign and dramatic vigor of expression
as to form a veritable encyclopedia
of Roman warfare Of that period.
The whole of the column was origi-
nally covered with gold and color.
Brilliant crimson, blue and yellow were
largely used for the reliefs forming
the main shaft and must have pre-.
sented an appearance of barbaric
splendor in the days Of their pristine
chromatic glory. Nor was this drama
in stone enacted with it's Hamlet left
out. The figure of Trajan is every.
where with predominant appeal. The
ideafized emperor is presented under
all sorts Of conditions that were cal
culated to rebound to his glory, as
the warrior leading his hosts, as the
master engineer directing the mechan-
fcal constructions, as a leader of scout
ing forces, as a soldier sharing the
hard lot Of his fellow soldiers, as the
"little father Of his country" lead
ing, directing, encouraging by ex.
ample, at all times in the spotlight,
the soul of the army and the soul
Of Rome.

VINCENT NOW A RESERVE AVIATOR

missioned by the president a colonel
in the officers reserve corps Of the

Taking service with the army in
1917, Mr.. Vincent was. given the tenn

was promoted to lieutenant colonel for
his signal services. A recent enabling
act by congress permitted his being
commissioned a colonel.

MINERS WARNED
AGAINST STRIKE
Threatened WalIsout of Min
ers Denounced as UnIaw-
full by President.

Washington.- Wilson is
sued a formal statement Saturday
with the approval Of the full member
ship Of his cabinet, declaring the pro-
iected strike of bituminous coal min
ers under present circumstances mot
only unjustifiable, it is unlawful"
The statement called upon officers
of local unions to recall orders for
the strike, and added;
81 can do nothing less than to say
that the law will be enforced and
means will be found to, protect the in
terests of the nation in any emer-
gency that may arise out of this I'M
happy business"
Considering the temper Of labor, Of
fetal Washington took the view that
while there was hope OF compliance
by the 100000 miners who had been
ordered out there was no absolute as
SuranCe that the presidents letter
part appeal and part command-WOuld
bring peace to the coal fields. But
there seemed to be no doubt Of the
governments determination to see
that the people obtained an adequate
coal supply to keep them from suffer
ing and permit the nations vast in
dustries to continue operation. While
declining naturally TO comment on the
future course of action should the
strike take place, members of the
presidents cabinet intimated that the
government would not sit with folded
hands in the face of threatened indus
trial disaster.
If the demands of the soft coal min
ers, under which they threaten to
strike November /, are granted, it
will mean an increase in the fuel bill
of the American consumer OF about
$780, 100000, according to figures
prepared in Washington. If the strike
occurs, as pointed out in the state
ment of President Wilson, a great
deal of suffering is in prospect, to
say nothing of the disastrous effect
on industry generally.
The estimates place the maximum
of reserve coal at no more than 30
days supply. Coal operators are
agreed that the miners demands mean
an advance of 81 ton as minimum
and SIS as a maximum. Taking the
minimum of So with the reports of the
United States geological survey for
1917, the financial burden would be
more than $40 for every man, woman
and child in the United States. This
means that family of six would be
required to pay more than $50 for the
coal that it burns this winter, the
basis and estimate being on the en-
tire consumption, including railroads
and industries, as well as the domes-
tic users.
The toll on the people or Texas at
that average would be nearly $4,000
900; those of Oklahoma would be
forced to pay over S3.5000OO; New
Mexico nearly 100000, Arkansas
nearly $2,0OO,O00 and Louisiana more
than $3,5OO,O0O.
For the domestic consumers coal
alone Texas would have to pay about
$1,300,OO0 advance and Oklahoma
more than $1,500,0O0. Texas indus
tries would be taxed in this way an
increase of $2,73OO0O and those of
Oklahoma slightly less than $1,500,000.

home. surely the storytelling period
would be the best choice. There are so
many opportunities for stories at
home. They will serve as oil to the
of bathing, dressing, eating,
and can accompany ironing, the wash

like. The mother whose mind is well
