and other information concerning the
work. The garden mOVem ent has re-
ceived the hearty support Of the city
during the past year and has received
an appropriation Of $4,000 For the
furtherance of the work. The work
was carried out through the agency
Of a gardens committee headed by
Chairman Herbert V. Camp and
superintendent HolmQuist Of Kensing-
ton. The increase Of acreage in 1913
over the number in 1917 was 50 acres
while the committee anticipates still
further increase In 1919 and is plan
ming to use 200 acres Of land.
1880 Individual Gardens
The number of individual gardens
was 1850 with an average size of
5ox100 and of this land, 81 per cent
was devoted to the cultivation of pota-
toes. The value Of the bean crop was
$47,375. The local factories have CO.
operated with the gardens commit
tee in this work, and six of them have
provided plots Of land for their en-
ployes S23,600 worth OF potatoes
were raised on these lands. Nearly
5000 backyard gardens were planted
during the year, averaging in size
30x45 and $4,000 worth of produce
was raised.
The committee found considerable
difficulty in combating the plant lice,
potato beetles, and imported cabbage
worm, which insects caused much
damage to potatoes, turnips, cabbage,
peas tomatoes and cucum b9rs. The
valuation of the total crop in 1917
was $91,24S.95 while in 1918 this total
jumped to 81, sos.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

81 know l ought to take treatment;
I have been running down for the
last year or two. 1 am all tagged out,
have no ambition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether
am dead or alive, have lost weight and
cannot do the same work 1 used to
do some years ago. If L were as
strong as 1 was, 1 could earn good
money. [ know [ ought to treat with
a good specialist, but l cannot afford
to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend. and dearly; yet you do not
get it.
Let me tell you why
Your health is your capital; Your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on tho
capital his interest would, of course
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore. you can
not work and earn what you used to-
Do you see the point? You are draw
ing or your capital-which is your
health-by allowing it to run down,
and so the interest (your working
capacity is steadily growing smaller
You used to make good money:
now you earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul in your work.
These happy days are gone.
You now barely make a living and
find it almost beyond your strength.
And you shudder at the thought Of
what will happen when the final
breakdown comes.
Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and
what you are going to lose is beyond
estimation.
The dollar you NIGHT earn, but
don't, is an actual expense to you
You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry, anxiety, dependency
want and deprivation for your family
The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with
an experienced specialist is not an
expense. It is an investment. And in
return you get increased working
ability, higher wages, health and hap
piness at home.
Which will you choose?
Can you hesitate?

An examining physician for one of
