The Garlic Nuisance,


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l note the suggestion of your correspond
ent r. S. L. that cutting garlic while in
blossom will eradicate it, which, if true,
must be important information to the Agri-
cultural Department, and to the people of
Virginia especially, as by that means 1t
should be easy TO eradicate or prevent the
garlicky flavor of milk and butter now SO
common at certain seasons of the year.
But, even if true, that information is of
little value to the city resident unless &C
cOmpanied with information as to how one
is to get the opportunity of cutting the
garlic in another's yard. for, of course the
man whose public spirit and aesthetic
taste induce him to grow it in his front
yard Is not likely to give his consent to
have il destroyed. If the law does not pro
vide some means for its eradication 1t GER
tainly ought to, and l suggest the matter
10 the attention of the rulers of this best
governed city in the world w. c. d.

Pluck Up the Suckers,

To the Editor of The Evening Star,
The shade trees of the city have put on
their luxuriant foliage, for the sap is cours-
ing with vigor through them. Besides their
leafy limbs, they are throwing out about
their roots and along their stems thick
young shoots, or suckers, which, If allowed
to grow, will sap the life Of the tree.
These suckers can now be removed bv the
finger of a child, but in a few days they
will be tough and strong and require the
strength of a man with a sharp knife to
remove them. BY that time, also, they will
haVe Done their malicious work of absorb
ing the nutriment needed by the tree

by and by. Let that one man begin irnme-
dlately to go about the streets. With

REQUESTS DENIED.
Charitable Institutions Must Install
Water Meters Under Regulations.

The request of the Sisters of the Good
shepherd for an extension of the time in
which to install water meters in the House
OF the Good Shepherd has been denied by
the District Commissioners. The Commits
sioners have also denied the request of the
sister superior of the House of Mercy that
that institution be exempted from the water
meter regulations promulgated by the Com
missioners.
In denying the requests the Commission
ers explained that if the two institutions do
not desire to take advantage of the law
granting, without charge, a certain amount
OF Potomac water annually to charitable
institutions, the installation of the water
meters Will not be required, in which event
the use of the water will be charged for at
the regular rates.
The requests, it was explained to the
Commissioners, were based on the lack of
funds of the two institutions
