more easily cared for If the weeds are
never allowed to show themselves. 1t
Is much easier and pleasanter to take
the small hoe or rake and run it
through the mellow ground before you
can see the weeds, and SO keep them
out, than it is to wait until they are
well started, and then hoe the weeds.
AS the vegetables are taken out of
the garden l clean up all the trash,

ashes make the ground just that much

If there are any eggs from these
pests on leaves and stalks they are de

summer when they are Matched, and

green leaves starting on the grape

the garden changes. The large, red
tomatoes glow among the green of
their foliage The great, yellow sun

stalks, yellow peaches shine among
the branches Of the peach trees, " lille
luscious purple and white grapes hang

inappropriate, like wearing a silk
dress In the kitchen. Instead, plant
to make my garden beautiful with the
vegetables and fruits.
There Is another and practical side
of this garden. Besides furnishing
most OF the living through the sum-
mer for family of from eight to ten,
there is always a surplus which is
sold for SIS to $50 during the sea-
son. and a great many vegetables are
put away for the winter
Thus my garden lasts the year

There is a great deal of beauty even

Early Ratification of the
Safety-at-Sea Treaty May
Be a Result of Disaster

There was much comment in admins
trat1on and congressional circles as q re-
suit Of the sinking Of the steamer EN-
press Of Ireland yesterday. and 1t will
eventuate probably in the early ratinca-
ton Of the safety-at-sea treaty adopted
at London several months ago.
The hull Of the Empress of Ireland
must have been a mere shell for the ship
to have gone down In ten minutes" said
Senator Burton, who was one of the
American delegates to the London con-
vention which recently drafted q treaty
for safety at sea The senator expressed
tho opinion that II the treaty had been
in effect the hulis classification clause
probably would have compelled the own
ers Of the Empress to have reconstructed
her.
Tho treaty would not make compulsory
the remodeling Of existing vessels SO az
to provide for separate. water-tight bulk
heads" he explained. but the publicity
about the condition Of those ships would
cause the public not to patronize the dan
gerously constructed vessels"
Favorable Report Expected Soon.
Senator Lewis. who also was q dele
gate, declared the great loss Of life on
the Empress Of Ireland would not have
occurred had the safety treaty been in
force.
