This column of the Sentinel f a rather intimate nature, and rif magazine in question, it is needless t5 say. is not published by home folks; i:: s. among ourselves, we must ac knowledge a woeful lack of gardens. Ti:ei is a little book in the Nugget series issued from the Knickerbocker pros.-, with a very dignified title:. The uM' kn. as Considered in Literature by Certain Polite Writers. We who love both gardens and books should own it. Nobody but distinguished folk are in clufied therethe Plinys, Lord Bacon, Aldison, Pope and other aristocrats of tho pen. And I am led to notice it h'-re by reason of what the Elder Pliny says in his opening sentence: "It ikiv remains for us to return to the cultivation of the garden, a subject rfc r.'mmended its own intrinsic mer it? to our notice." Pliny made this re mark something over eighteen hun dred years ago, and what was true of the Romans to whom he wrote is equal ly true of Knoxvillians today. Col loquially, its "up to us" to make gar dins. Today I am inclined to dismiss trees and shrubs and grass and flow ers, and confine my attention strictly to the brick yard, where vegetables should grow. That accounts for the quotation from Charles Dudley War rifi at the head of this article. He was a literary horticulturist, worthy a place in tho Garden Nugget, with the ancient! Pliny and the other great ones, but I suppose he is too modern for inclusion in that goodly company. There are five thousand back yards in Knoxville and a hundred thousand in Tennessee, where nothing grows but tin cans and weeds and rubbish.

The chairman of the civic department is very anxious that every member of the Woman's Club hear Mr Mills, for it is a subject that cannot De discussed too often. It may Interest tho members of the club to know that recently at Paducah, Ky., a local forestry association was organized at the instance of Mrs. Rob ert Becker Phillips, of the forestry committee of the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs. At the annual meeting of the Ver mont Federation of Women's Clubs, held in Windsor , October 2nd and 3rd, very encouraging reports Avere made from the 26 federated clubs in the state. In one town a tree warden has been appointed. The Woman's Club has appointed a committee from its members, to take note of the roads leading to the neighboring towns and report to the tree warden anv needs that may come to their notice. Tue club women are also Ktiiflvino- tho laws of Vermont in regard to the care of the forests and protection of its shade trees, and are' encouraging the school children to become familiar with tne names and characteristics of the trees in their own town One club of only 15 members has furnished material for a forestry column in its weekly local paper. In this connection it may not be amiss to say that recently in conversation with a News reporter, Mrs. Bryant call ed attention to the fact that on all the 105 miles of macadam roads leading out of Charlotte, there is not a mile of wooded highway. There are, of course, short stretches of road that have been cut through woodland but this is orig inal forest growth. A splendid exam ple has been set, however, by one of Mecklenburg's most prominent farm ers, who, some years ago, planted a row of water oaks and Carolina poplars in front of his home, that is now a de light to every passer-by. These are, Improvement things that will make for health and ished on too practical diet, a fact proclaim ea ny ua& complexion, lean bodies, and a lack of energy explain ing in some incusure. ttie devotion to the rocking chair. ' ? Surely it "now remains for us to re turn to tlie cultivation of the garden." The political economist turned his at tention some time ago to the garden needs of the people. Mayor Pingree, of Detroit, gained great notoriety he deserves fame! by enlisting the own ers of vacant lots in a municipal gar dening scheme, by which gardens were mudp possible for many poor people whose tenants did not include yards. There are very few such homes m Knoxville. Here the waste and it is great comes from the non-use of land for which the tenant pavs rent. The philanthropic women of the city might well cultivate this field, one in which a first principle of practical philan thropy helping others to help them selves may be exemplified. It is too late to have peas this year, the kind Warner grew during that summer in a garden. But we may sub stitute other vegetables, beans grew in pods, like first cousins of the tooth some pea, and they are much more popular in Tennessee, for after all the pea is a yankee product. And there is hardly a lot in all our town where beans cannot be grown. Manure gath ered from the alleys and the streets will cost nothing, and the thorough fares are sadly in need of cleaning. Garden tools are cheap and durable, garden seeds cost very little; a month's saving of toDacco and snuff money will pay for the outfit. An hour of digging before breakfast or after work hours will not add greatly to the fatigue of the day, and though membership in the "daughters of rest" may be jeopardized by working in the garden, many a wo man has been made healthier and her family Happier by such ocupation. Weeding the garden is a useful if hateful discipline for town boys, and it is hard to find occupation for their out-of -school hours.. The sum total of Knoxville's wealth would be materially increased if the bare back yards of her workers could be transformed into pro ductive gardens, There are a few such gardens. The umnrir is in their scarcity. It is true that in very many plaoes the grading that has been done has lett a surrace of stiff clay very unpromising soil, but .qtoti Virro nprsi stent gardening will nrnrinco results. Press and people should unite in the promotion of town lot gardens. fJardpnina: is not an ignoble protes sion, the kings of Rome cultivated their .,-,ir,. with thoir own nanus. it connoisseur of a' life of Epicurus, th sp was the first to lay out a garden f ease was tne mbi lu i y Athens and let not . the Chest however, only on one side of the road. How beautiful that half mile would be j now, if the trees had been planted on uum siaes. i What an attractive place Mecklen-1 burg county would be, if all the high ways were lined with trees, and how many dollars would be added to the' value or the adjoining land. Apropos of this subject there appear- 'n the Century Magazine of April, 1893, and republished in "Forestry ana Irrigation" for January 1908, a beauti ful poem, the spirit of which, if im bued by the residents of Cnarlotte and Mecklenburg county, would transform ou locality into a veritable paradise: "THE HEART OF A TREE." By H. C. Bunner. "What does he who plants a tree? He plants the friend of sun and sky; no pianrs tne Hag of breezes free; The shaft of beauty towering high; He plants a home to heaven anigh, For song and mother-croon of bird, In hushed and happy twilight heard, The treble of heaven's harmony These things he plants, who pfants a tree. "What does he who plants a tree? He plants cool shade and tender rain, And seed and heed of days to be, And years that fade and flush again, He plants the forests heritage; The harvest of a coming age; The joy mat unborn eyes shall see These things he plants who plants a tree, 'What does he plant who plants a tree? He plants in sap and leaf and wood, In love of home and loyalty, And far-cast thought of civic good His blessings on the neighborhood, Who in the hollow of His hand Holds all the growth of all our land, A nation's growth from sea to sea, Stirs in his heart who plants a tree." things because they are common, ensid things because they are common be judged unworthy or consideration." Judge Says Solicitor Did Not Act Wrong Special to The News. Durham, N. C, March 20. Accusa tions alleging that Solicitor A. L. Brooks, and officials of the court in this district and prominent candidate for congress, has charged excessive fees were brought against him by J. Margin Umstead, attorney for the board of education, and created quite a stir in court at Durham yesterday. Solicitor Brooks called attention to the charges against him to Judge Webb saying"TKaV,TE"was aenectTon "on his character, and that he was sble and willing to pay back any alleged exces sive fees. Attorney Umstead still con tends that Mr. Brooks' fees are beyond the limit of the law-. Judge Webb took the matter in hand immediately, and stated that Solicitor Brooks had done no more than all solicitors, speak ing directly of sci fa cases, and he said that lie thought they were en titled to charge an additional fee, -and admitted thaY"he did when he w-as a solicitor. Prof. J. Allen Holt, a candidate for congress from Guilford, fired the first boom in political circles last night in Durham. His speech at the court house was ' attended by a large crowd, and his talk dealt with all political phases. He is the only candidate for congress that is not a lawyer. He has a good number of supporters in Durham. Trout Fishing Season on. Asheville, N. C, March 21. The trout fishing season in the mountains is now open. That is the announcement of .Dis trict Passenger Agent J. H. Wrood of the Southern, the message he sent over the wires yesterday to the different agents as information to the fishermen, and Mr. Wood ought to know. It is true that his duties are such that be has not been able to go fishing for many years, and the insinuation is even made that he would not know a brook trout from a whale, but this is a slander. At any .rate, he keeps posted on the game laws, and when he say what sort of day yesterday was he deemed it his duty to let the fishermen know their rights. "THIS IS MY 55TH BIRTHDAY" Commissioner Booth-Tucker. Commissioner Booth-Tucker, one of the foremost leaders in the Salvation Army and for several years the com mande. of the organization in the United States, was born in India, March-21,1853. His real name is F. la Tour Tucker, but-when he married Emma Booth, daughter of Gen. Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, he was persuaded to add the name of her family to his own. His family has for generations been one of the most re spected in India. After receiving his education in England he returned to India and for some years held an im portant position in the civil service. One day a number of the "War Cry" fell into his hands and he became so interested in wnai u iem mat ue tpmiined to oin the Salvation Army. He inaugura 3d the work of the organi ! zation in Inlia in 1882 and has charge until 1891. During the next five years he was connected with the general offices in London. In 1896. with Mrs. Booth-Tucker he came to the United States to take charge of the Salvation Armv work. Mrs. Booth-Tucker met ! her death in a railway accident in 1903, ' n t S T" 1. and soon aner bomnussiuuBi duulu Tucker secured a transfer from his charge in the United States and re turned to India.

The coming months will be a har vest for the doctors and patent medi cine manufacturers unless great care is taken to keep the feet dry, also dress warmly. This advice should be heeded by all who are subject to rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles and espe cially catarrh. While tho latter is considered by most sufferers an incur able disease, there are few men or women who will fail to experience great relief from the following sim ple prescription, and if taken in time it will prevent, an attack of catarrh during the entire season. Here is the prescription which any one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and use in teasnoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The Compound Kargon in this pre scription acts directly upon the elimi native tissues of the kidneys to make them filter and strain from the blood the poisons that produce all forms of catarrhal affections. Relief is often felt even after the first few doses and it is seldom that the sufferer ever experiences a return attack within the year. This prescription makes a splendid remedy for aJl forms of blood disor ders and such symptoms as lame back, bladder weaknesses and rheumatism pains are entirely dispelled. As this valuable, though simple, re cipe comes from a thoroughly relia ble source, it should be heeded by ev ery afflicted reader. Nixico Remembers Juarez. City of Mexico, March 21.
