GARDENS FOR SLUM FOLK.
Chicago Society's Plan to Make Urban
Toilers TilIers of the Soil.

iOnSfS iiitSFS OF the SOlt.
Slums, as well as the sections where
those in moderate circumstances and
the wealthy live, need Improvement
What the City Gardens association OF
Chicago, an organization of recent life
has planned can be tried by towns
where it is needed 1t is going about
the business of Inducing slum dwell
ers into the secrets Of farm life on s
miniature scale. 4 tract of land ag
gregating twenty acres has been allot
ted among 100 needy families who
will be expected to care for it, planl
and tend garden stuffs and enjoy the
benefits of their own industry for s
merely nominal fee. They will raise
what they eat, so far as garden stuffs
are concerned. 1t is expected that this
will be. of material assistance to them
in keeping the wolf in the next coun-
ty, besides affording them an oppor-
tunity to learn something useful of
agricultural methods.
Only twenty acres will be cultivated
this spring, but next year other fam
lilies will be permitted to avail them
selves Of the opportunity. The tract of
land is bounded by the Chicago river,
Marshall boulevard and the tracks of
the Pennsylvania railroad. 1t is easily
accessible for folk living on the west
side of the city, and only those living
there will be privileged to avail them
selves of the opportunity afforded this
year Later, should the experience
meet with enthusiastic acceptance, it
is hoped that other waste bits of
ground may be placed at the disposal
Of the association.
The Outdoor Art league will play an
important part in carrying through the
idea. 1t will furnish plans for bun
galOw and tool house, the former to be
used as a rest room and a place where
the laborers may sit down to eat.
Recognizing the ignorance of garden
ing of most of the families taking over
plots Of ground for the spring season,
the association expects to retain the
services of an expert gardener, who
will be ready to offer advice to the neo-
phytes and to assist them in acQuir-
ing scientific methods. Furthermore,
the urban farms will not be devoid
of aesthetic charm. A large border
of greenery will surround the twenty
acre tract, and frequent flower beds
will add variety and grace to the out
look.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, dropsy, deposites in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
Chas. Goldsworthy, retired, living on
Hoard St., Mineral Point, Wis, says
Il have been practically unfit to do any
work for over five years as a result of
kidney trouble and rheumatism. Dur
ing the past five months I was troubled
a retention of the kidney secretions, &C
companied by dull pains in my back. |

IN A COPPER CAMP.
Its Divisions Known as drill Town
and "SIsa Town."


A copper camp has its own charac-
terfstics peculiar and apart. 1t has
two distinct classes Of workmen-
the skilled miners. who work under
ground, and the smelter men, who
range from experience and scientific
training to unskilIed day laborers.
More often than not they form sep
arate camps within the camp-"Drill
Town." as the "slag pushers" call the
quarter given over to the men who
"hit the driI,'' and Stag Town or
Little Hades" for the smelter men.
The smeIter is the heart of the camp.
In the community there is every va
riety Of camp architecture, from the
tent pure and simple and the "half
breed house." which is a tent foored
and boarded up along the sides to the
turn of the roof and fitted with "sure
enough door" that will lock, to the
hotel like a huge packing box with
rows and rows Of little, narrow win
dows set along the sides like polka
dots on a shirt waist and a fat roof
that does not reach an inch beyond the
sides, the whole painted a faded green
and jaundiced over with the red dust
A great copper camp grows slowly.
When there is a town above ground
there is something like it below-tun-
nels, stations, slopes, workings reach
ing out like streets and alleys to fol
low the vagaries of the lead. There is
no cutting Of a rich ledge and going
on, no careless search for pockets" to
be robbed and left.
With scientific skill and mathemat-
ical precision each yard Of work is
driven to open up the best road to ore
still beyond and to leave a safe and
convenient way by which it may reach
the surface Nature has rooted her
wealth of copper deep In the earth,
and no haphazard methods will release
it proftably. 1t would amuse or be-
wilder an old time gold miner to see
the care and economy practiced in
modern copper mining-the small say
sngs, the constant search for better
methods of handling, the struggle to
eliminate waste and utilize all the by
products.-Out West.

DoWries In India.

The custom of extorting dowries has
grown into the very fabric Of the So
ciaI life and is a standing disgrace to
the Bengal community, which has no
justification to plead or apology to of
fer. The practice has now assumed
alarming proportions of parents Of
boys extorting costly dowries as a con-
dition of marrying their sons. The
marriage of a daughter among Ben
gals has become an expensive affair,
and the amount in cash demanded by
the father or guardian of the boy
and paid by the father or guardian Of
the bride varies with the educational
attainments of the egroom.-Indian

The Democrat: The second burglary
in the city within a few weeks occurred
Wednesday night last, when the drug
store of H. B. Allen was entered and
the cash register rifed. Entrance was
gained by cutting out a panel in the of
flee door, which leads into the upstairs
hallway, and turning the key which
has always been left in the door. Cash
to the amount of an even five dollars
was taken from the cash register, but
so far as is known no goods were taken

address delivered. That kind of cele-
bration was begun to impress upon the
young people the cost of establishing a
free government by the sacrifices our
ancestors made during the Revolution.
