PINGREE GARDEN PATCHES Omaha Women Seek to I'se and Bean- tlfy Unsightly Vacant Lot. OMAHA. March 22. To th Editor of Tb Bee: Th social science department of the Omaha Woman' club appointed a commit tee laat fall, known a tha city improvement committee, to co-operate wltb tbe city offi cial In bringing about better enforcement of th law and removing unsightly object from street and vacant lot and beautifying tha city In auch way as might b deemed expedient. Tbe committee ba Investigated what Is familiarly known at the Plngre garden system, which ha proved ao successful In other cities, and, realising that the plant ing of vacant lots wltb vegetables and flowers would at one transfer them from unsightly weed patches to object of beauty, and that many worthy poor would ba glad of a chance to oultlvat these tracts of land, has decided to undertake a similar work in Omaha. It undertakea this work not only tor tha purpoae of relieving those who may be In need of temporary assist ance, but also with tbe conviction that this plan ba la It many olementa of sue cos for both those who are Interested In philanthropic work and those who desire to Improve tbelr condition and prepare themsslves for better thing In th future. We ask pac In your paper to acquaint tha people who may need such assistance wltb tb manner of obtaining It; also to tell what baa been accomplished and solicit contribution. About fSOO in cash will be needed to pay tba wage of a superintendent and other expenses. A large 'amount of garden seed ar necessary, part of which ba been pro vided by th Department of Agriculture, Washington, through th kindnee of Sena tor Millard. The county commissioners of Doaglas county bav promised fifty bushel of seed potatoes and assistance In other waya. The committee appeals to the cltl en of Omaha for the money, seeds, tools and other supplies necessary to carry on tb work. Assurance of approval and promise of aaslstano have been received from th mayor, the park board, the Real Estate exchange and many citizen, and the commute feel greatly encouraged tbereby. A superintendent haa been secured whose reference show that b haa special qual ifications for this work. Fifteen acrea of land will ba needed, of which about seven acre bav been obtained In the following location; Eighteenth and Clark, Nine teenth and Clark, Seventeenth and Charles, Twety-fourtb and Caaa and Twenty-fifth and Chicago streets. T show what can be dona at small ex pens to beautify the vacant lot of th city tb commute ha secured from W, A, Paatoa, Jr., the use of tbe lot east of tba Publlo library building and will plant It with flowers and vines. The plan of the garden will be laid out by Mr. Adam and Mr. Craig of tbe city park department and tha firemen of engine house No. 1 at Eighteenth and Harney atreets, will assist In taking car of th plot. It tb work of tb commltte prove successful this year aa I confidently expected, It 1 probable that It will b undertakea on a larger scale next year.

Fatigue is the natural result of hard work, but ex haustion results from weakness. Hard work for a weak woman is traffic in flesh and blood. It makes little difference what the field of work is, whether at home or elsewhere, if there is weakness work brings exhaustion. Ability to 6tand the strain of hard work is the privi lege of the healthy and robust. How our hearts ache for the sickly women that work for daily bread at some ill-paid factory employment I How distressing also to see a woman struggling with her daily round of household duties, when her Dack and head are aching, and every new movement brings out a new paint If the mere looking on at these suffering women touches our hearts, how hopeless must life be to the wo men themselves I Their devotion to duty is a heroism which a well person cannot understand. Can these ailing, weak women, who are called upon to do work which would tire a strong man, be made to see that they can easily and surely better their condition I Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, convince them of the virtues of this medicine f How shall the FACT that it WILL HELP THEM be made plaint . When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, "I do not believe it would help me "I Surely you cannot wish to remain weak and sick and discouraged, exhausted with each day's work.' You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydla IS. Pinknam's Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others.
