The Gardener.

II Is at once the JOY and the despair
OF gardener that his work Is never
done. His materials are growing
changing. ever varying things. This IS
an endless delight to II man who lives
with his garden and watches his plans
grow up. When he makes garden for
another 1t Is different matter Then,
after spending his best thought and
skill, the garden must be turned over
into the hands of the Phillstlne, who
may, doubtless will, spoil his color eff
fleets, make gaudy what before was
rich, introduce tawdry display where
before was a sensitive delicacy. These
are the things that try mems souls and
will continue TO try them until the OWN
ers of large places acquire some de-
gree of sympathy with and under
standing of art Century.

Increase of Insanity.
Within the past decade the number
of hospitals for the insane has more
than doubled, says the census bureau,
and the number of inmates has in
creased from $4,000 in 1890 to over $780,
600 in 1904. It also appears that the
rate of increase is higher for men than
for women and higher for the laborer
and servant class than for others
A Society on Social Hygiene.
The physicians of Chicago have be-
gun the formation of an association
whose aim is to restrict the spread of
venereal diseases by rousing the public

such diseases are innocent women and

example Of Berlin, which has such a
society with a membership of 5000,
and New York, which has its Society
of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxsis.

MAIL ORDER BUYING.

Three communications received at

Willie's letter of last week on "Mail Order Buy
ing" We are printing two of the letters in this
issue and will print the other next week.
Inasmuch THE TRIBUNE has printed
columns of matter mail order buying and
has refused hundreds of dollars worth of mail
order advertising, glad to the mer-
chants become interested in the matter. They
present good arguments in their comm unica-
tons, but the most effective form of argument
is that used by Mr.. Vnje, on the bottom half
of the front page and by others elsewhere in
this paper. Persistent advertising of goods
and prices in the local paper is the effective
way to combat catalogue houses and the mer-
chant who saves at the spicot of newspaper
Advertising should not complain if revenues
flow away thru the bunghole of mail order
buying.
