Carl Vrooman Tells How Nation
May Benefit by Agricultural
Activities in Cities.
By CARL VROOMAN,

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
Member of the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.
Without going beyond their own
dooryards, millions of American wo-
men can render real service to the
nation. This service is as real as
that rendered by the soldier on the
field of battle. 1t is to plant and care
for the little plot OF land that lies
back OF the house-to make a home
garden.
One million dooryard gardens
planted in our suburbs and cities this
spring would mean a national saving
OF possibly $4,000, 900, a sum, as large
as that which President Mckinley
was given by Congress for the prose-
cution OF the Spanish-American war.
Growing vegetables for home con-
sumption in these gardens would re-
lieve the railroads OF the necessity OF
carrying millions of pounds OF bulky
freight, thus releasing thousands OF
cars and engines for hauling men and
munitions.
Our experts have calculated that an
average American family uses about
OA pOlaAOC6 . year IL
does not take but a fraction of an
acre to produce this quantity of this
important foodstuff, since a fair yield
of this crop Is 200 bushels in a sea-
son, and 1t is not uncommon for pota-
toes to run to 400 or more bushels per
acre.
Radlshes. lettuce, early beets. beans,
peas, tomatoes. spinach and numerous
easily cultivated vegetables can be
raised in the back yard. provided the
soil is fertile and intelligence Is en-
ployed In the process. There is no
reason in the world why 5000, 900
back yard gardens should not be
planted this spring, planted as soon
as the ground is warm enough, and
supply 100000 families with good.
cheap. nutritious foods all this sum-
mer. war or no war.
The hitherto wasted resource of our
dooryard land should be utilized at
once. 1t Is no more work for a wo-
man to tend a vegetable garden than
1t is to tend a flower garden or
house plant. At present 1t is more
patriotic to subordinate flowers to

POPULAR MEDICINE.
BY DR.. HIRSHDERG
intelligent Observations Of Rules
Of Hygiene viii De-
crease illness.
By DE-. L. K. HIRsHBERG.

Among the many causes OF so-called
colds prevalent at this time of the
year are: faulty food and drink,
bundling up the throat too much
thus making the skin supersensitive
poor ventilation and indoor life.
Recent researches seem to indicate
that a germ which cannot abide sun
light and oxygen inserts itself into
the nostrils and eyelids of indoor
workers and those who refuse to stay
In the cold, fresh air and causes
running noses, watery eyes and the
other unpleasant disturbances, COM
monty called ''the symptoms Of colds"
In the development of so-called
"colds" different persons may be af-
fected with varied unpleasantnesses.
At the beginning the chest may feel
stopped up" and there may be severe
coughing with but scant expectora-
tion, as the secretion is not large.
However. after some few hours, or
perhaps even a few days, the secre-
t1on increases and is expectorated
easily. Then the cough Is said to be
"loose."
Others may have severe shiverfng
or chills, alternated perhaps by a
slight fever. Headaches, loss of ap-
petite, lassitude and a rattling sound
in the chest are not uncommon.
Fresh Air Necessary.
In an endeavor to do away with
these annoyances that help to impair
health. one method that has much to
its credit is the inhalation of steam
vapors. All possible means to keep
the skin active should be employed.
Turkish baths, vapor baths, electric
light baths, warm blankets, wet sheet
packs, and vigorous massage are all
good for this purpose.
The diet Is also something Of impor-
tance to be considered. It should be
restricted to plain, unstimulating ra-
tions such as fruits and grains, and
even these should be indulged in in
but small quantities. Warm. mucil- |
aginous drinks such as honey, emul-
sions of cod liver oil, and olive oil |
may be taken freely.
II the case Is so severe that the pa
tient must remain indoors, plenty of |
fresh air should be admitted by
means Of proper ventilation without |
drafts" and exercise should |
be INDUCED in.
Those who are subject to bronchial |
very often are victims
of constipation and languor. Very
often an effective and rapid cure of
this disorder is brought about by con-
constipation. This Is done by
open-air exercise, a diet OF green veg
etables, fresh fruits, uncooked bran,
plenty of water, carrot juice, prune
Juice, and stewed fruits.
However, IL the malady remains for
some time, the bronchial tubes be-
come obstructed and greatly dilated.
This condition is what is known as
"emphysema-" Difficult breathing
and an enlarged chest accompany
this.
In the chronic stage OF the disease
there Is a constant cough, shortness
OF breath, a great deal OF expectora-
tion, together with all the disturb
ances experienced in acute bronchitis.
Unskilled and non-medical persons
