THE TDIE&.

ART TEACHER IS

PRAISED FOR HER WORK

Toanj artists of the Hammond high ohool, pupils of Miss Bess K. Foster, the Art supervisor, have entered the National War Thrift Stamp Foster contest and bel!i filled with her enthusiasm have been working very hard t Set their posters off In time. They have prepared some fins drawings and art hopeful of winning prizes and honorable mention. They did ao well In their Food Conservation designs arranged by Miss Fotser that J. J. Kennedy, the advertisingepert In the Foster Magaiine of April said: "Among the many public school systems of the country where the poster as a specific form of art Is receiving attention of a competent Instructor Is that of Hammond. Ind., one of the thriving1 Industrial cities near Chicago. "The Art supervisor of the Hammond r-ubllo schools Is Miss Bess Eleanor foster. "The posters aubmltted by Hammond In competition were drawn b Fdna Muehlberger. William Geacheidlr and Frances Todd. They received, respectively, first, second and third, local honorable mentions from Miss Foster for their work. The poster made by Miss Alice Hammond is ald also to have been of special merit and was also submitted In the contest held In Indianapolis, the state capital. "According- to the Hammond School News, those deserving special mention for having done creditable work in the local contest are Clarence Ml-

nas. Russel Oltt and Evelyn Hilton. "The Indiana Department of the United States Food administration awarded first, second and third local honorable mentions to the three best posters drawn by high scr.ool students

of Indiana. The second was to aroise the interest of th younger school children and high school students in the movement. "'The posters receiving local honorable mention were later sent to Indianapolis, where they competed for flrst. second and third state honorable montlons. Hammond posters were Included among the fifty chosen from the entire state as the best exhibited. "Commenting; upon the work of the Hammond students In poster designing Miss Foster said: The question How do your students take to posters?' has been asked. 'Like ducks to water.' I might reply. Why? Because the poster offers a real project, something that seems to them useful and worth doing. "We are taking down the bars that shut off school life from the outside. We are letting some of the life outside the school come In. and we are taking some of the school life out Into the world. We are learning to translate our courses Into the terms of daily life. The psychologists tell us that the more a man can find beauty In the sights of his dally life, the more pleasurable will be his general mental mood. "Tell a boy to make a composition

Daniel J. Moran of Hammond, Republican candidate for Judge of the Lake Superior Court, Room No. 2, was born October 23, 1871, in a log house on the Allen Farm near Green Castle, Indiana. His father was a laboring man, and his mother a hard working housewife. During the summer vacations and at other times iMoran has worked at day labor. He is one of the common people, a plain citizen, who has, by hard work and study, made himself a reputation as a good lawyer and citizen. . ,: November 16, 1898, after graduating in law, he located in Hammond. He has had experience in all the Courts of the State, from Justice of the Peace to the Supreme Court. . What property he has is in this County and he is deeply interested in its moral, social and industrial future, for the reason that he has five sons and a daughter, whom he hopes will grow up to be good citizens of this community. During the twenty years he has been in Lake County, he has held many honorary positions, but has never drawn a dollar of public money. He invites investigation, and asks the Republican voters of Lake County to consider his qualifications for this office.

W RCS RO mystery how we W5S?If can fret strong:, for by VtftSftrfl putting iron in our

blood we become strong men or women. The strong men of today are men of red blood. Men gain energy, vim, vigor, by taking a new combi

nation of soluble iron with vainable native herbal extracts, called " Iron-tic." This is the discovery of Dr. Pierce and his able assistants at the Invalids' Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y. By experiments and actual test this new combination of iron will act as a tonic, increasing the appetite, increasing the number of red blood corpuscles, thereby feeding the nerves on fresh blood. The whole pystem feels the invigorating tone, and instead of being pale, weak, nervous or sleepless one feels like a new being. A man or woman of real red blood is ready for any or all tasks. Gain strength, energy, vigor by going to your nearest druggist and obtaining a 60c. bottle of Irontic Tablets, or rnd 10c. to Dr. Pierce for trial package. You will find that instead of pale cheeks, feelings of lassitude, tired, worn out, your cheeks will have color, you will feel strong and vigorous, and you are "ready for the fray." Start now and you will have no so-called "spring fever."

entitled, "Evening." and he Is bored. Tell him to make a poster to advertise oma school activity a football Same or an entertainment and he Joyfully attacks the problem. And obviously makins; the art work touch life does not mean the sacrifice of technique. A knowledge of design, composition and color all must enter Into work of this kind. "There is an abundance of Interesting material for this kind of art work If one but thinks of his work in terms of the needs of the merchant and manufacturer. In working out commercial advertising of this type, the problems being, let us say. posters, and similar advertising media, the students readily see that the purpose of advertising Is

to gain attention, arouse Interest, create belief and compel attention to buy. They see how their advertising Is mor?

convincing when they put art into

their advertisements. Thus we are getting results that are of practical value

to the boys and girls as a preparation for the demands upon them when their school days are over. "This year the possibility of relating art work to outside activities has been especially Interesting. The State Food Conservation poster eontest and the T. M. C. A., Red Cross and Thrift Stamps drives have claimed our attention. "And. finally, another reason why our pupils 'take' to poster designing Is because we try to have them see that the artist has a big field for work, right In his own country and particularly In his own town or city." An Interesting comment upon the Hammond posters is that of Carl N. Wernti. president of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, who said In a recent letter addressed to Miss Foster: "I have been very much Interested In seeing posters which your students have made so beautifully and cleverly. I have seldom seen a better group of these things by public school students or by art students.'"
