The chief aim I'M the home garden

portant factor Vegetables which dc
not deteriorate rapidly should be
left for the larger gardens If space
is limited.
Beans, peas. sweet corn, aspara-
gus and lima beans are examples of
vegetables in which freshness is the
test of quality. These can never be
procured in the market for the same
quality and delicious flavor as the
homegrown, picked when needed

their flavor If not cooked shortly
after they are gathered, peas and
corn undergoing chemical changes
which deprive them of their sugar
content
Potatoes do not deteriorate and a
number OF the coarser root crops
likewise are good keepers, so they
should not be included in the small
garden where it would be waste
of space to try to grow them, as d
sufficient quantity could not be
raised to make it worth while.
Tie same is true of cucumbers,
melons and other vegetables which
occupy considerable space. In gem
eral, crops which occupy .small space
and mature quickly are the ones for

WHY WOMEN GET DEsPONDENT

Are not women naturally as light
hearted, brave and hopeful as men!
Yes, certainly; but woman's or
ganism is essentially different from
a man's-more delicate. more SEN
sitive and more exacting. Women
in delicate health are more depend
emit, more nervous, more irritable
and more respondent. When
woman develops nervousness, sleep
nessness, backaches, headaches,
dragging down pains and melan-
cholia she should lose no time in
giving Lydia E Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound a fair trial, as it will
quickly dispel such troubles. This
root and herb medicine contains no
drugs and has been the standby of
American womanhood for nearly
fifty years. ADVERTISEMENT

MOTHERS GOT WRONG
BABIES IN HOSPITAL.
(From New York Times.)


Several days ago Mrs. Bessie
Verify, of IS Halsey street. became
the mother of a boy about the same
time that Mrs. Sara Lapore, of II
Plum street, Newark, was blessed
with a baby girl. Both babies were
born in the Newark City hospital.
The mothers left the hospital last
Tuesday. When. Mrs. Verify got
home she found that the baby she
had brought with her was girl.
Returning to the hospital she insist
ed that a mistake had been made
but could not convince the nurse
that she had the wrong child. At
length, doubling her own belief, she
took the child home, hoping that if
mistake had been made it would
be. discovered and that she would
get her own baby.
Several hours after Mrs. Lapore
returned home her husband disCov
cred that he was the father of a
boy and not, as he had been inform
ed, a girl. Thinking that a mistake
had been made, he went to the hos
pital the neXtday and talked to one
of the doctors about it. The tangle
was Strengthened out and the moth
ers exchanged babies.
Superintendent Talbot of the hos
pital said this was the first mistake
of that kind there. While the babies
were in the hospital there was no
possibility of error, he said,, but the
mix-up might happen after identifi-
cation marks were removed when
the babies were discharged. Mr..
Talbot said that a chain made of
blue beads with the infants name
attached was placed around a new
baby's neck and was not removed
until the child left the hospital.
