The home Garden.

The School Garden, properly
speaking. is a garden in connec-
ton with the public school. In
many instances where land for
the school garden is not avail
able. the teacher will encourage
Home gardens and in a measure
superintend them. A combina-
ton of the two is an ideal plan,
as the child Iapplies in the home
garden the ideas gathered in the
school.
There are many reasons why
the home garden should be en-
couraged. Mr.. Vernon Lannis
of Cincinnati expresses our ideas
so nicely thst we are taking the
liberty of quoting from him.
The home garden developes
individuality, as the child may
choose the plants he wishes to
grow, and how he will arrange
them. He enjoys in every re-
spect a freedom which ,islssnot
possible in the school garden"
THE home garden developes
in the child a greater sense of
responsibility, as the SUI
cess Of his garden depends al
most entirely on his own re-
sources"
THE home garden is an agen-
cy to keep the child at home,
when he would otherwise be on
the streets, where too often the
induence is demoralizing. 1t
produces greater bond Of SYM
pathy between the parent and
child, due to the fact that the
parents takes anSinterest inTthe
work, and talks with !. the Echild
about it,"
The home garden bringsS the
teacher in closer touch with the
parent. as it gives her an excel
lent excuse to visit the homes of
her pupils, an important factor
in the success of any teacher. "
The home garden will be one
of the greatest factors in making
our cities and villages more
beautiful and desirable places to
live in. as unsightly places, rub
Dish piles, etc., will be replaced
by growing plants and flow ers. .

American Women's War Relief Com Inittee.
 Mrs. Benjamin Lathrop, who is one of the most active workers in the French Emergency Committee organ ized to supply the immediate needs has interested Mrs. H. c. Hoover and many other American women in this particular movement and is collect ing generous quantities of ether and other hospital supplies so sadly needed in many of the isolated hos pitals near the battle line. Mrs Latin rop left London this week for an in- spection tour in Northern France.
 The Duchess of Marlborough has accepted the chairmanship of the philanthropic committee of the Socie- ty of American Women in London. This already has a number of work rooms established for the employ ment of women thrown out of work by the war, but the need is so great that a marked extension of this work is planned. Mrs. A. T. Stewart, with the assistance of this committee, has just opened workroom at 123 Vic- toria street, where indigent gentle men will be afforded an opportunity to earn 8 living. At present fifty wom- en are afforded employment there, most of them knitting supplies re- Quired by the army.

NELLIE CRAY IN
 FOR DRUNKENNESS
Was Left Behind When Notorious
 "Qucen Ll'' Left the City,.

Nellie Gray, aged twentythree years, with marked proclivity- for wearing a red cloth coat and chew ing gum at the rate of a mile minute, was before Judge Mes41ill this morning on a charge of drunkenness. She pleaded guilty, but begged for leniency, declaring this to be her first offense. The court imposed a fine of $5 and costs and suspended judgment when the girl promised to leave the city.
 She has been in this city about a month and was located for a time with the notorious Queen Lil' in Hicks block on West Main street. When the "Queen' left town Nellie stayed behind, looking for work, she said. Yesterday afternoon she ac- quired a beautiful jag and when Off, f1cer Fred Wagner entered her room at 551 Main street he found her in bed, paralyzed drunk. She had abso- lutely no control of her limbs and the police were compelled to carry her bodily down three flights of stairs to the patrol Last night she said sne lived in Hartford, later she said her home was in West Hartford, and to- day she gave Worcester, Mass, as her home town.
 False Prctcnder Is Jailed.
 A fine of $50 and costs and a sen tence of thirty days in jail is the penalty Charles Jaroski will have to pay for impersonating Adolph Ho- deski at the New Britain Savings bank and drawing $25 from his bank account. Hodeski told the court that on Tuesday he discovered that JaroSkl, who occupied the same room with him, had taken his bank book and drawn out $25, part of which he had on his person at the time. The ac- cused denied the allegation, but George H. Lampson, a clerk at the bank, pointed out Jaroski as the man who had appeared at the cashiers window and presented Hodeskis bank book with the request that he. want ed $25. As neither he nor Hodeski could read or write Identification had to be made by the means of the identification card. Jaroski repre- scented himself as the owner of the book and got the money.
 Youth Fined for Assault.
 Henry Ludolph, aged fifteen, was fined $7 and placed on probation for assaulting Solomon Ludo. The trou- ble seemed to be the outcome of a family squabble and was not very serious.

F SKIN BREAKS OUT AND |TCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR
Use it like cold cream and dry Eczema eruptions
 right up.

The moment you apply bold sulphur to an itching or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says renowned dermatologist.
 This remarkable sulphur made into a 'thick cream effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated Eczema, that it is a 1everending source of amazement to physicians.
 For many years bold-sulphur has oc- cupied secure position in the treat ment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of it's cooling, arasite-destroying prop critics and nothing has ever been found to take it's place in relieving irritable and inflammatory affections of the skin. While not always establishing a perma- nent cure, yet in every instance, it immediately snbdues the itching irrita- ton and heals the Eczema right up and t. is often years later before any erup- tion again manifests itself. -sAny good druggist will supply an 2unce of bold-sulphur, which should be- applied to the affected parts like the ordinary cold creams. It isn't unpleas- ant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome, particularly when the Ec- sema is accompanied with torturous itch ing.
