AS a result of the garden cam
paien instituted in the city. / last
spring it is estimated that there are
from fifteen to eighteen hundred of
the finest gardens to be found in
Alexandria that have ever been
known here. 1t would be interesting
to know the quantity of fine, fresh
vegetables that have been produced
ana how much they have helped to
add to the pleasure and enjoyment
of those who have been privileged
to eat them. Next year the number
should be increased. Every family
ought to have a garden, if it is only a
small one. It has been surprising to
see the quantity of vegetables that
have been grown on small plots of
ground in many parts Of the city
this year.
Although by profession an at
torney at law, Mr.. Leo P. Harlow
of this city is something of a prac-
teal farmer as well. The Gazette
can vouch for the accuracy of the
above statement for the reason that
representative of the paper has
seen the proof of it. Yesterday at
Mr.. Harlow's home, All Prince
street, the aforesaid newspaper man
was shown the "war garden which
Mr.. Harlow has been cultivatine
this season, in which is growing,
with varioas othe: vegetables, a to-
mato plant which has reached the
unusual heighth Of twelve feet. II
our legal friend should devote all
his time to agriculture we fear that
some of the farmers out in the coun-
try districts might have to hustle
to keep ahead of him. Are there any
other Getty farmers" who can beat

ladder to the control position, the hatch is closed down, the tanks are filled. and now the process of sub merging is begun.
 There is an almost uncanny silence in the boat after the changing of the oil engines has given place to the hum of the motors, the bow dips as the buoyancy she still retains is overcome, but there Is nothing to indicate that the vessel is being forced under wa ter until the greenish light of day which only penetrates a short dis tance, is succeeded by the glow of the electric lamps which light the boat. Soon she is submerged until the tor of the periscope, cutting the waves and throwing off feathers which in smooth water can be seen a couple o1 hundred yards away, is the only indi- cation of what is moving below.
 This pretty and unusual spectacle has proved to possess an attraction for the seagulls, a circumstance which, on one, occasion at least, was instru- mental in saving a ship from being torpedoed. A bluejacket in one of the vessels in the North Sea, writing to Lincolnshire clergyman, said:S
 we have always a lot of sea-
 gulls following us about, and af-
 ter meals they pipe down'--i. e.,
 go to sleep. I was at a 12-pound-
 CT gun after dinner, all our joul-
 try having forty winks, as usual,
 when I was startled to see them
 all cfrcliqg round an object which
 proved to be the periscope of a
 German submarine, and I can as-
 sure you if 1t had not been for the
 seagulls we should have been in
 Davy Jones' locker"
 The commander sets his course by compass, for the entrapce to the Kiel Canal, but a sharp eye is kept on the mirror, for away on their port hand lies the harbor under the lee of HeH- goland, whence at-any moment may issue enemy torpedo craft. Once only during the day are they forced to sub- merge entirely by the proximity of a couple of destroyers and in the mean time they have been able to locate, and even count, the number of flo- tilla in the anchorage. Nor have they been troubled by the presence of mines, although this is peril which is to be expected and avoided. Having by this time reached the spot where further movements at the moment might be dangerous, it is decided to sink to the bottom, and there rest un- til darkness enables a return to the surface for fresh air and further pros pecting.

This morning there were very few farmers in and only four or five ped- dlers The sales were irregular and though some were at Saturday s prices. there were not enough to give a true range of prices Tuesdays market conditions will probably be about the same.
 This week and next will be the big peach season. Crop conditions throughout Connecticut show that the greatest part of the crop will be ripe between now and the 29th of Sep- tember and, if the weather Is at all warm the peaches will ripen before that date. very effort should be made to put up as many cans as possible of this delicious fruit. Also because of economy in space for storing and shipping. large quantities of peaches should be dried.

Society Women Use
 New Wrinkle Remover

Since the discovery that a solution of ordinary saxolite and witch hazel dsDs a peculiar effect upon wrinkled skins, it has been learned that many pron1i- nent society women all over the coun- try have used this simple home treat ment with great success. The formula is: powdered saxolite, one ounce, dis solved in witch hazel, one half pint. Use daily as wash lotion.
 The beneficial action of this wash is felt at once. There's an agreeable re- freshing sensation and feeling of ex- hilaration. Flabbiness and all wrinkles are immediately affected, and the skin soon becomes firmer and more youth full looking. No one need hesitate to get the ingredients at the drug store and make the remedy herself, for there are no harmful effects whatever.

UNIFORM PRICES RISE.

Officers in about every branch of the army are aghast over the jump in the cost of uniforms and uniform equipment, if bought of uniform houses. An overcoat which four years ago could have been bought for $55 is now $108.5O. Uniform coats which were some years ago about $20 to $25 are nearly double. A trunk which was $10 to SIS is $34.50. The rise reaches even to collar insignia. An emblem which was nine cents a year ago is now 75 cents.

The Consent Of the
Governed and Latin America,

N. York saw a love feast at the Ma.
tional Arts Club, but it left an un-
pleasant aftertaste. A score of Span
ish-Americans, all distinguished in
the literary arts Of their countries,
were present, and an equally impress
siye company Of North Americans
was on hand TO greet them. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill,
Hamlin Garland, Ida M. Tarbell, Ed
win Markham, Augustus Thomas and
two dozen other names which would
go as well on the outside cover of a
magazine were there to cemen the
literary entente cordiale.
We copy the following from a
Tribune report Of the meeting:
The literary fellowship of Pan
America had been toasted so often
that nobody was thinking of politics,
when at about ii O'Clock Professor
Solomon de Ia 5elva, OF Nicaragua,
presented by Chairman Garland.
1t was announced that Professor de
la Selva, an instructor in Spanish at
Williams College, lat a few words
to add TO the general sentiments Of
the evening. Then the audience was
10 hear Colonel Roosevelt adopt a
harmony resolution and go home.
"a previous spea.er referred to my
country as little Nicaragua, " began
Professor de la Selya, and it wasn't
so much his words hj tone that
caused a general Strengthening in
chars. The professor undoubtedly
was in earnest. My teeth gnashed
at these wordsP' lie continued. "Ni-
caragua may be small III size, but it
is mighty in pride. A land is as large
as its thoughts are great; as large
as its hopes and ASPIRATIONS. A pre-
vions speaker (Mr. Thomas) said
governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed.
Through the United States my coun-
try is ruled by q government which
its people have not chosen"
The speaker was making gestures
and looking right in the direction of
Colonel Roosevelt, who was leaning
forward in his chair taking in every
word.
Col. Roosevelt declared afterwards
that the speaker couldn't mean him.
because he never did anything to
Nicaragua. But, perhaps, Professor
de Ia Selva thought Of Colombia just
as well.
The treatment Of Colombia, Mica
Tagua and Mexico rankles in the
breast Of all Spanish-Americans. Yet
our prominent men think that a few
nice words will suffice to molly the
proud inhabitants OF hese ~cnnnfries

Paper Napkins Remind Hotel Guests
of Meatless Days.

London NEWSPAPERS report that
some German hotel proprietors are
trying to help their guests forget the
meager fare placed before them by
handing them paper napkins upon
which is printed the following verse:
Montag, kocht man ohne Fett:
Dienstag, feischios, auch GAM nett:
Mittwoch, darfst du allies essen:
~Donnerstag, das Felt yergessen:
Freitag, gibt es Fischgericht;
Schweinefleisch am Samstag NIGHT.
Sonntag hast du endlich Rub:

AS roughly translated by the
London papers, this verse runs as
follows in English:
Monday, without any fat one must
fry:
Tuesday, no meat! But we're not
going to cry;
Wednesday, just eat as In peace time
you ate;
Thursday, all fat food you'd better
forget:
Friday, your appetite's tempted with
fish;
No pork upon Saturdays seen in the
dish
Sundays the day for some Tranquil
repose;
For then all the dealers their food.
