eardens for School children.

There is a strong economic truth at
the bottom of the garden movement
and it's value has been recognized
hong ago in European countries, which
have brought about different forms oil
Austria established eX'
perimental gardens in its rural schools
as far back as 1869. Switzerland, Ger.
many and England have a garden
course in their public schools, while
France goes farther and maintains not
only flower and vegetable gardens, but
includes orchards, forestry and bee
industry. The garden movement is
of special significance in cities where
large numbers of children are turned
out on the streets to loiter, tease and
maraud.
Perhaps the greatest value of school
gardens is in teaching the child how
TO make a garden at home and en-
Fcouraging it to do so 1t is here that
we are to attain the real value Of in
struction and make 1t pay. The child
can materially reduce the cost of lfv-
ing by not only furnishing vegetables
during the summer but the surplus
can be stored for winter use. That
this can be done Is no longer a mat
ter Of conjecture, but many examples
can be given In proof.-Mrs. Alex
Caldwell, in Southern Woman's Maya
zine.

M I'LL LpS
MOVE FOR HOME GARDENS
Widespread Idea to interest Children
of the Country in Econom-
ical Idea.

Any suggestion of introducing
wider military training among
schools of this country is bound to
meet with opposition. But one move
which will be almost as useful in
time of war is that being made by the
united States bureau of education to
make home garden truck farmers of
the 100000 children who are now
in public schools in the United States.
OF course, the relation of such
movement to war probably was far
from the minds of those who have
been fostering the movement It al
ready is being worked out in many
cities. Cn the statement Of DR.. G.
ID. Jarvis, the specialist in charge Of
the governments home-gardening sur
'yey, the relation this movement, if &C.
icomplishei thoroughly, would bear to
war is strikingly shown. Doctor Jar
wis estimates that if half the 100000
available school children were inter-
ested in the work the increase in food
supplies would amount to s50,000.000
annually. This estimate is based upon
the supposition that $40 is the average
yield Of a garden, though figures show
that many such gardens can earn $25,
$50 and even s1OO yearly.
What such a food supply would
mean to any European nation at this
Eime can easily be imagined. If war
lcalled the young men from the farms
OF this nation, even for a brief time,
these school gardens would be invalu-
able in supplying food to cities which
otherwise might find themselves cut
on from ready supply.
Obviously the great benefit of the
work undertaken by the bureau Of ed
Iucation and its experts is planned for
times of peace. But in period when
many peaceful movements are viewed
from a war angle, this plan cannot es-
cape the attention Of those who be-
ilieve preparedness is our best protec-
ition against foreign imbroglios.

Tidv Farms,

If each farm in any community is
clean, tidy and we'll kept, presenting a
thrifty, homelike appearance, the

MARRIED LIFE
BY c. L. c.

One evening in August Jean sat
among the cushions, in a wicker
porch swing, behind the green shades
of the veranda. She looked cool
and comfortable in her thin white
dress.
DR.. Joseph came up the walk and
settled himself YEARLY down in a
rocker. He was very tired; dark
throws showed under his eyes from
the long strain he had undergone all
day in the operating room.
Jean" he said Miss MoreanS
mother is very ill; she has asked me
to come and see her When it gets
cooler dear wish you would 60
with me, the poor girl is all alone
"Oh how tiresome, why should
90 ? really | am worn out with the
heat of the day" Jean answered
We'll, it will get cooler soon. DR.

Josepk's face showed a sterness. AT
least YOU could show little woman
ly sympathy.
DO you never think you haveit in
your power to help me or to ruin
me-" he said with firmness. Miss
Morgan as we'll as every one else
thinks you do not like her"
Jean was furious. How dare you
dicuss me with with Miss Morgan?
she said oh we we're not dicuSsine
you my dear, please don't talk like
that Jean L don't want to talk
to YOU" cried Jean an9rlly as she
founced to her feet and ran upstairs
with loud clicks of slipper heels on
the polished steps. In the pretty
yellow and white bedroom she sank
on the bed sobbing breathlessy
oh how cruel of him to talk to me
like that" DR.. Joseph sat still anc
allowed himself a meditatlve smoke
then he went slowly upstairs to fine
Jean.
oh Jean" he said how | hat

quarrelins with you As he knelt
beside her, Jean met the cry in sill
ence, the tears running down her
cheeks. He gathered her in his
arms impetiously and kissed her as
though he would once more recon-
sile the bonds between them.
She lay passively against him, her
eyes shone large in her small face.
"All right now ?" he said, Jean rails
ed herself and answered yes" and
| will 60 with you to see Miss Nor
CANS mother" Later in the even
ing Dr.. Joseph and Jean were seat
ed in the little parlor Of Miss Morgan's
home and Jean for the first time
felt a great sympathy for the quiet
brown eyed girl who looked so sweet
and calm in her nurse uniform.
When DR.. Joseph entered the bed
room where Mrs. Morgan, a sweet
faced patient looking woman lay, on
the immaculate bed. He knew at one
glance that she was slowly but sure
Iy dying and Miss Morgan would
soon be alone.
Later Miss Morgan, in a very
dignified way invited them into the
little room where she served ice
cold lemonade and jelly rolls. Cr
Joseph looked from his wife to Miss
Miss Morgan, God" he. said under
his breath what woman she IS the
most intelligent woman know and
one of the pIe.ties ; how | wish Je;

Dr., Joseph and Miss Morgan dis.
cussed a few professional cases. Tn,

Il am to be turned out of the
room like a tiresome child by my
husband, Jean cried Historically
running from the room. DR.. Joseph
tried to catch her but she ran up
the stairs and locked the door of
her room.
am brute, DR.. Joseph said to
himself but confound it she took up
all my time.
That afternoon Jeans mother
came and found Jean in her room
her pretty face bathed in tears
why, Jean DEAR she said surely
you have not been quarreling, the
most devoted Of temples Yes,
mother" Jean said,'I am tired of him
and he is tired of me. | hate this
big house. hate his friends and

Mrs. Strong who knew how spoil
ed her daughter was, said Jean
there never was a woman who som
ime in her life did not imagine
erself tired of her husband"
Why mother you don't mean tc
tell me you ever thought of papa
that way
Yes indeed Mrs. Strong answered
and you know how good your father
is"
Nov Jean, dress your self and
60 down to your husband Jean
went reluctantly. She put on g
white flowing house dress, and il
was a radiant little figure that came
to DR.. Joseph as he stood looking
gloomly out of the window.

but he kissed Jean and told her she
had made him very happy.
One Sunday morning several days
later DR.. Joseph sat in his library
| smoking a cigar. He was looking
over the Medical Times for August
1914. His forehead puckered with
| thought when Jean hastily entered.
I've burned my hand awfully with
that horried jelly roll" DR.. Joseph
looked up absently and said let me
bandaee it for you" When he un-
rolled the cloth Jean had around
her hand he said; where's the burn -?
Il can't see it. Oh you little sinner
but any how let Mary look after the
jelly, we'll you know don't care for
sweets anyhow. "Oh, but you praised
Miss Morean's so, said Jean calmly
seating herself in a chair. Don't you
think it will burn" DR.. Joseph said
his eyes returning to the book l
thought you said Mary should tend
to it" Jean answered, she was watch
ing it when left. DR.. Joseph
looked impatient and said, look
here dear, do you really want to
talk to me about anything impor-
tant?"
No, | just wanted to see what
you we're doing. Do you want me
to go?" Yes for a little while, this
tobacco smoke will hang in your
dress and | know you are not in
terested in what | am studying"
What is it Jean asked, this Scopola-
min, Twilight Sleep tell me about
it? said Jean. DR.. Joseph thought.
We'll to be rid of her | will explain,
and he told her that Twilight Sleep
is neither consciousness nor uncon-
seriousness; the mind receives impress
sions but makes no note of them: it
greatly diminishes the pangs of
childbirth. 1t will soon be used in
all hospitals" And that interests
you so much Jean said YES its
part of my profession, you know,
and if we can improve on it, we'll
so much the better for us"
Who's u.s." Jean asked, DR..
