 Everything is done in apple-pie or der. In the first place, Edna Pres ton, Sophie Allen, Hooper Atchley and Frank McHugh are singing and dan cfng their way to many encores at every performance. Then there's that special chorus of Broadway peaches- all of whom played with the original New York production. And don't for get that the Lyric orchestra has been for the occasion.
 There's a ton of laughs in "Oh Lady, Lady" and it's all good clean fun, too. All in all, 1t is one of the best entertainments seen in Bridge port this season.

grass, may be feund on every farm in

this season. The blossorning should
be prevented If possible in order to
prevent the seeding and aid lin the

on roadsites and vacant lands should
receive first attention, as it Is from
these particular weeds the seeds
spread to the cultivated lands This
matter should receive attention at

they will have to be burned as the
seeds will mature # allowed to run

STRONG PLEA FOR GARDENS
United States Commissioner Of Educa-
tion Urges That Last Years Good
Work Continue. ~~~

Last year more than 100000 boys
and girls in cities, large towns and in
dustrial villages lin the United States
cultivated gardens under school direc-
ton and supervision and produced
many millions of dollars worth Of veg
etables and small fruits to be con-
sumed where produced without cost
for transportation and handling and
without loss from deterioration On the
markets. There were many thousands
Of boys and girls who produced more
than $50 each in what would other
wise have been idle time, and thou
sands Of acres of land that would have
lain idle If it had not been cultivated
by the boys and girls yielded more than
$500 an acre.
The educational value to the chill
dren was far greater than the value
of the food products. That value in
>cluded health, physical vjgor, habits Of
industry, knowledge Of plant life and
of the phenomena and forces Of ma
ture, and the beginning of the under
standing of the fundamental moral
principle that every one should gladly
contribute to his own support by
his own labor.
'"The United States bureau of edu-
cation will not be able to follow up
this work this year as fully as it has
for several years past" writes P. p.
ClaxtOn, United States commissioner
of education, ''but hope the interest
Of children, teachers, superintendent
and school boards will not lag and that
the time will soon come when this
school-dlrected home garden work will
be recognized as necessity and an
essential part Of the education Of chill
dren in all cities, towns and industrial
villages" ~. II Z, =

POISON In RHUBARB LEAVES
Their Use as "Greens," Which Is Some
times Recommended, Is Fraugkt -.
With Grave Danger. ,.t.

Do not eat the leaves Of the rhubarb
plant! From time to time one reads
or hears advice to economize and also
to freshen and purify the blood by eat
ing green vegetables. That is all right
with certain important limitations, and
one Of these limitations concerns the
leaves Of the rhubarb plant. Green
vegetables have very valuable place
in the food schedule, and boiled
"greens," such as cabbage, kale, turnip
tops and beet tops are wholesome. Che
eating of turnip tops and beet tops has
led to the, assumption that rhubarb
tops are good. g."
II That is not the fact. There is dan
ger sign on them. Men have been poi
soned by eating them. They contain
oxalic acid and death turks in that
acid. rr.-r@s. e Al. .. ..f.,.ss,.--...

should be the selection for city plant
