CITY GARDENS IN CHICAGO,
An Idea Which Is Capable of Great De.
velopment.


Henry NJ Hyde writing of the city
gardens of Chicago in the Chicago Trib-
une, says: +9fhtg-h
A Visit to one of these city gardens
will reveal nothing especially pictur-
esque or exciting. But if one uses his
head as well as his, eyes he will be GER
tain to see in them all something more
than the germ of an idea which is capa-
BILE of almost unlimited development.
There are in all these tracts Of land
more than 500 individual gardens. On
each to which any kind of care has
been given will be raised enough deli
cious fresh vegetables to supply fam
lily. In many eases there will be cab
bages and root crops produced in addi-
ton which will last during the fall and
a large part OF the winter,
On the Foster avenue gardens along
the drainage canal three men who are
out of work have built themselves Il
little tent ana lean-to in which they
are living Their gardens on the east
side of the canal are among the best
cultivated and most productive in the
city,
Inside the limits of the city and of
Cook county there are literally square
miles OF land which is lying idle, unoc-
cupied for any useful purpose. Almost
every acre of it if loaned to one of the
City Gardens association would be left
in much better condition than it is Al
present.
For the first year or two, until the
city gardeners get supply of tools to-
eether and really fall in love with the
work. ii is necessary for the City Gar
dens association TO spend some money
in blowing the land getting it in order
and paying the salary of an expert
farmer TO supervise and direct the job
The average cost of all this associa-
ton work has been about So garden

and energy put into it by the president,
Mrs. Pelham, and the other officers.
who serve without any thought of pay.
The average market value of the crop
produced on each garden has been at
least $50, making no allowance for the
gain in health and in spirits on the part
of the gardeners and their families.

VACANT LOT IMPROVEMENT.
West Philadelphians Made Playground
of Neglected Space.

How an unsightly vacant lot, strewn
with tin cans and all manner of refuse
and containing stagnant pools to breed
mosquitoes, quickly can be changed
into playground to develop healthy
children and provide outdoor amuse-
ment for elders has been demonstrate
ed by residents of West Philadelphia.
The residents got together; they
formed the West Walnut Street Out
door association; they elected officers:
then committees were named, and one
Of these visited the owners of the va
cant lot. OF course the owners didn't
like the vacant ground to lie an eye
sore. Would they permit the people to
turn it into a Playground? Certainly!
Other committees solicited members
ana funds and bought equipment. Now
there is board fence around the lot,
the tin cans are gone, and so are the
disease breeding pools. In their places
are to be seea tennis, croquet and
quoits courts, 220 yard running track,
swings, seesaws and other amusement
equipment. Sixty men Of the neigh
borhood are subscribers to the up
keep, and 100 children are enrolled.
The members of the West Walnut
Street Outdoor association say they
haven't done anything wonderful. They
simply state that they cleaned up u
neighborhood disgrace and that people
in other sections can do the same if
they will only start in hustling The
members wish it known that Director
Of Public Health Iiegler and Chief
Cornell helped them lot in their
cleanup work,

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

The Morrisville News and Citizen
has libel suit on its hands for print
ing an unsigned letter criticising the
states attorney The letter was from
a lawyer who concealed his identity
under a nom de plume.
This ought to be lesson to the ed
itors of the state. Several years ago
the Randolph Herald and News adopt
ed the rule of not publishing any com
munication in the form of letter to
the paper Or public without printing
the signature of the writer. Several
other state papers have since then
followed suit "fFift
The Banner adopted the rule last
winter when the discussion off,tbe
Powell bill on the subject showed the
way the privilege Of public letter
writing is often abused by men who
haven't the courage to stand by their
own convictions. The Morrisville
case is apparently an illustration Of a
newspaper suffering for somebody
else's cowardice though we are not
familiar with the details of the case.
There are few people in every
community that think a newspaper is
made to pull their chestnuts out of
the fire and that it is the duty of
local paper to be the town scold.
Nothing could be further from the
true functions of country news
paper which should be a straight bus
mess enterprise to sell subscriptions
and advertising space at a fair marg-
in of profit and to supply the town
and vicinity news and as much
general matter the income of the
paper will allow. With it should go
such comment as the editor is capa-
bic of making on state, local and gen
eral topics with design that it shall
aid The readers in understanding the
questions Of tile day and promote
the general welfare of the people.
newspapers are produced in haste
and always under pressure and for
these. reasons Injustice is not uncom-
mon and mistakes and incomplete
ness are not always to be avoided
The big city papers are powerful
financially and sometimes most laud-
ably become crusaders, but the
country papers are all weak financial
ly and should never be crusaders ex-
cert in behalf of some generally de-
sired local or state endeavor.
AM esteemed friend of The Banner
sometimes criticises it for being on
the fence but that is the proper place
for a, country local paper.
In every local controversy there are
good citizens and honest belief on
both sides and one should be treated
just as fairly as the other. 1t is all
right and highly proper for the ed
itor to give his own views and to
draw his own conclusions in his edit
orial columns. but this the readers
should recognize as merely the views
of one man, though entitled to some
consideration because of his except
ional opportunity for observation, if
the editor is honest and reasonably
The country local paper should new
er make the mistake of thinking itself
the guardian of the town morals or
that its mission is to reform its read

The country paper is a precarious
business enterprise which should be
strong in charity because it should |
recognize its own weakness and fire.

CHILDRRN's GARDEN IL a BACK YARD. 81
We find also that by giving the boy a
mans job and by putting the work on
Il business basis there is no trouble in

the children have utilized every availa-

but too often they have spaded up only
enough ground TO plant the few seeds

have been purchased ...
f'In some cases the size Of the gar.
den enterprise is limited because of a
mistaken idea of the teacher or parent
regarding the chIld's ability, but more
often the number of available pennies
with which to buy seeds is the deter
mining factor.
''rhe distribution of seeds gratuitous
~ among children is not recommended,
except where no other provision has
been made for them to obtain seeds in
sufficient quantity TO plant all their
available ground Where children are
required TO buy their supplies they are
taught tho value of money and are
given wider business experience One
of the chief objects of the work is to
cultivate in children the quality of self
reliance, and this must come from In
dependent effort
One of the interesting features of the
work as brought out by Dr. Jarvis was
that most of the children. even the
girls, preferred raising of vegeta bles.
Some of them, however, have made ut.
tractive flower beds, and others have
planted fruit trees, vines and bushes.

TRAVELLING Mans Experience.

severe attack of cholera morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from four
a. m. to p. m. without giving me any
relief and then told me they did not
expect me to live; that I had best tele-
graph for my family. Instead of doing
so, gave the hotel porter fifty cents
and told him to buy me bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. and take no sub
stitute. I took double dose accord
ing to the directions and went to sleep
after the second dose. At five o'clock

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.
I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces-
sively thin man or woman. Such re-
suit is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims Of
malnutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead OF getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal amount Of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is scientific combination Of six Of
the best strengthening, fat-producing
elements known to the medical pro-
fession. Taken with meals, it mixes
with the food and turns the sugars
and starches into rich, ripe nourish-
ment for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect is remarkable. Reported
gains of from ten to twenty-five
pounds in single month are by no
means infrequent Yet it's action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less. Sargol is sold by Leo H. Fihe,
Richmond, and other good druggists
everywhere and every package con-
tains a guarantee Of weight increase
or money back.
caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment of nervous indigestion and gen.
eral stomach disorders, it should not,
owing to it's remarkable flesh produc.
ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more.-Adv.
