Right in line with the vacant lot
gardening which is being proposed
rs extension work on the part of the
Y. NJ. c. A. this summer, comes a
letter from Supt. \. NJ. Deyoe, head
of the state departm ent OF public in
struction. Mr.. Deyoe suggests some
further ways for improving vacant
lots and making old man high prices
take to the woods, in the following:
1t is at once apparent TO any cas-
ual observer that Iowa cities have
altogether too many vacant lots and
waste places growing up to weeds and
furnishing a place where rubbish and
old tin cans can be dumped
Associated with such unsightly
spots are always to be found condl-
tons of vice and immortality; intel.
ligence is usually of a low order;
property values are always unstable,
law enforcement Is difficult; numer.
Gus police court costs must be paid:
life is unsafe and diseases flouri h
with slight chances for their eradf.
cation.
The idle child is scarcely expected
to long remain moral: the unoccu
pied child will eventually become
yicious,-these are the seeds O,
Criminality. On the other hand. thu
busy child is constantly increasing
morally, physically and mentally. The
child who has normal tasks to per
form is constantly being inclined
away from evil habits.
What a wonderful and relieving
change might be wrought in these
places if the children of the cite;
could be led to see and realize tn,
educative, the physical, the moral anC
financial possibilities Of these vast,
places. If the unemployed children
of the towns and cities were place
under the supervision of a traine,
and competent gardener, their healt
and strength would be conserved an
the temptation to actions of vic
might be turned to the best type {
education through the cultivation {
the vacant and uncared for lots. A

Pastor Swentzel of st. Luke's Epis-
copal church, Brooklyn. rarely passes
up a task or trust. But there are
limits to imposed pastoral work. So
when Mrs. Caroline Flower, parish
Toner, willed S1OO for the care of her
pet dog and named the pastor as ad-
ministrator, theological problems sud-
denly arose which prevented the
kindly man from assuming the job.

improve Waste Places.

To make a proper use of the idle
land in our towns and cities, to give
employment and skilled training to
the otherwise unemployed boys and
girls in these same towns and cities,
should be the shibboleth Of everyone,
Of every organized club and society,
Of every chamber of commerce and
commercial club, of every church and
guild, until these waste places have
been made to bloom like a rose and
the vileness of youth has been tsrn-
ed into an ambition to do something
OF real value to society A few
cities have made fine start in this
direction.
Where ample space is available,
poultry might be very profitably en-
gagged in. The raising Of certain veg
etables will appeal to the boy from
the monetary point of view, either as
marketable products or as food prod
ucts for the family Very likely the
girl will desire to sell and make
money from such sale, but the
chances are that she will care most
for vegetable and fruit culture De-
cause of what it will mean to the
culinary department of the home.

Reduce Living Expenses.

Organize boys and girls canning
clubs. In these days Of high cost of
living, canned corn and tomatoes and
several bushels OF potatoes will very
materially help to reduce the living
expenses of any home. These articles

ed and cared for by the average boy
or girl from the time the seed is
planted until the ripened products
are put into the store-room.
There are part-acre and acre tracts
in every town and city that could,
with profit to the owners, be sold to
thrifty home seekers, on such a rent
al plan that those rents, with inter
est, might be applied to the purchase
and real ownership be acquired by
those home seekers. It would be
profitable to such communities, the
transfer of properties would be a safe
proposition and the highest part of

Concurrent with the discussion
Of methods for the conservation Of
standard food products will come
various propositions for the use OF
entirely new articles Of food says
the health board bulletin. issued by
DR.. I. w. Inches, health officer.
Perhaps the first evidence OF this
is the demand reported from sever
al cities for the use OF horse flesh
as meat. H. c. Evans. the local
representative of the department Of
agriculture. is authority for the
statement that there is demand
for horse meat in New York, Detroit.
ST Louis and New Orleans and this
department has had inquiries from
Chicago on the subject. There can
be no objection urged against the
use OF horse meat per se and there is
no reason why IL should not be as
nourishing and as valuable an arti-
Gle OF food as many other forms of
meat now used. Prejudice and senti-
ment would probably prevent most
Americans from using IL but there
are many foreigners in our midst
who have been accustomed 10 II in

who arc asking for IT, Several ap-
plications for licenses to slaughter
horses and sell horse meat have
been received lately and regulations
have been formulated under which

such rules was that no good horse
would be killed for meat and that
all horses so used would necessarily
be either worn out, half dead ami

was incurably diseased. The an
