constitute popular form Of diversion
for the summer months in Peking
The hills to the westward are dotted
with so-called temples-rambling COM
pounds of one-story buildings built
centuries ago by emperors in memory
of departed ancestors. The buildings
invariably surround a paved court or
often series of such courts, shaded
as rule by century-old trees. In the
temple proper is still to be found a
gigantic "buddha" or idol before
whom joss-sticks are lighter at inter-
walls by priests and acolytes, of whom
there are generally a half dozen all
told, occupying portion of the COM
pound.

LARGE GARDENS NEAR
AMERICAN HOSPITALS

Paris, Aug. 9.-Acres and acres OF
gardens located near the American
base hospitals are now beginning to
bring forth their harvests OF vege-
tables. All were cultivated by Amer
lean wounded, convalescents, who dur
ing their periods of repose were able
to attend to the growing of the pro-
duce.
Not alone has the venture been one
of great economy for the hospitals.
The work of cultivation has been
placed upon the prescriptions of the
medical surgeons so that a double
purpose is accomplished in the estab-
lishment of the gardens. The garden
work provides relaxation for the men
after their strenuous times on the bat
tlefront and their painful anxiety in
the hospital wards. The diversion
Nacts as a recreative agency in bring
ing back the men to normal mental
and physical state.
The gardens are worked entirely
by convalescents. Not single dollar
has been spent for hired labor. The
commanding officers of the varied
base hospital units have spoken IN
lavish terms of the physical good tc
the men and of the economy and eff
fcacy of the. plan, which insure'
fresh luscious vegetables to the pa
tients at a minimum cost to the gov
eminent.

fruits Of his own romance, Bertrand

colonial medal, medal of Morocco, and
the medal for saving life, and the
