WAR AND FUTURE OF ART
Fresh Creative Force May Reasonably
Be Hoped for. Is Conclusion of
Noted Writer.

As for the action of the worlds
great war upon the worlds
great art. it Is theme too vast for
easy handling, writes Agnes Repplier
in Art and Life, New York. 1t was
said in the spring of 1915 that the
Quarter Latin had ceased to produce,
having nothing which GREATNESS hui
manity could pause 10 look at Death
took its toll of artists and month after
month saw the bltghting OF hope, as
men died with their work undone.
Mr.. Pennell, an acute. but not a san
guine observer. says plainly that new
inspiration-as a result of the conflict
is not to be hoped for. Yet If ma
tional fervor was fed by the simplici-
ties of art, by the cartoon. the verses
of the trench. the "half articulate
songs" that set the soldiers blood
atingling, it is reasonable to believe
that the high tide of human passion

lethargic world with fresh creative
force.
Rodin. brooding over the darkest
hour and minimizing no peril or ca
iamity, spoke with heroic assurance of
the future: "our young soldiers and
our old cathedrals fall that there may
flourish again a youth, pure. ardent.
healthy, hostile to materialiSm, keen
for spirituality; and that a renewed
and sublime art may spring from the
soil washed and fortified BY blood"

ments in Alaska, created in large part
with the view of preserving some very
fine examples Of these curious relics
of bygone days.
Silka National monument was Gre
ated in 1910. 1t is about mile from
Sitka and contains 81 acres. II con-
tains IS totem poles, the highest Of
which rises 90 feet. These totem poles
are carved from red cedar and when
the paint wears of the unprotected
wood cracks badly. These totem
poles have recently been given two
coats of paint by the National park
service in six colors. Where the cary
ings were broken or decayed they were
replaced This monument is a pic
turesque place and from it there is q
panoramic view of beauty and inter-
est as the scene of the massacre Of
Russian fur hunters by Indians in the
early days when all this region was
owned by Russia.
Old Kansan National monument was
created in 1915. 1t contains 50 acres
and within its bounds are an aban-
doned Indian village. numerous re-

Health Notes

The way of health lies through
obedience to law. and the discernment
of laws determining health lies in
mans recognition of the fact that he
is complex being, a conscious spark
of divinity embodied in matter and
that no part of his nature can be neg
lected or ignored without making the
whole man sick.
We are walking along the paths of
a very beautiful world. 1t is a per
petual panorama, passing by us every
day; and we shall add greatly to the
happiness of life, and to the elevation
and publication of all our faculties, if
we acquire the habit of working for
its beauties.
Fruits and vegetables should not, as
a rule, be eaten together, that Is, at
the same meal: If they are so eaten
persons with feeble digestive organs
will usually suffer.

portant factors in the preservation Of
bodily renewal. Enjoy the influence
of the sun to the greatest possible ex-
tent.
The way to grow old gracefully is
the way of self-control, the way OF
sympathy, the way Of lnseltishness.
The grand essentials of happiness In
every stage Of life. but particularly In
the last, are having something to do,
something to love aud something to
hope for.
To absorb as much of the active
rays OF the sun as possible It is best
to wear light or light blue or light
gray clothing, which allows the suns
RAYS to pass. whereas dark cloth does
not.

COWS REPAY GENEROUS FEED
Work Them Over Into MiIk-0is-
pose of Strikers.

The COW must be regarded as sort
of living machine. She takes the raw
materials given her in the form OF
feed and works them over into milk.
If the supply Of proper materials is
small, the output will be small. The
cow that will not reENy generous feed
ing should be disposed OF and one
bought that will. There are. of course,
certain inbred characteristics or nat
ural qualities which even liberal feed
ing cannot overcome.

Through credentials obtained
from Gen. Sir Edmund Allenby. con-
queror of Palestine, Mr.. Thomas
was officially attached to the staff
Of the Emir Feisul, comma nd er lin
chief of the Arabian forces of the
King of the Hejaz- The Emir gave
him carte blanche to go anywhere
he wished for making pictures. AS
a result he has obtained photo
graphic records which the religious
prejudices~ of the people have
hitherto made impossible.
While the outstanding feature of
the travel-talk Is the story of the
youthful Englishman who welded
the Bedouin tribes together for the
first time in 500 years and directed
an army of 100000 men. the specta-
cular and picturesque nature OF the
scenic pictures themselves, is
scarcely second in interest. Mr..
Thomas lived with the wild tribes
men. participated in their joys and
fatigues. won their confidence and
made intimate pictures of their
mode of living. such as no other
person has yet brought out of that
land of sand and heat.
Perhaps the most remarkable set
in the collection is made up of mo-
tion pictures and colored slides of
the ancient city of Petra. This
town, in the ancient times when
Babylon was the worlds metropolis,
was the Paris and Riviera combined
of existing civilization.
