Chicago, Aug. 14.—As a remedy for the soaring prices of foodstuffs, Mrs. W. K. Jaques of 4316 Greenwood avenue urges housewives to use weeds on their tables. ‘There are ten weeds, all edible, that ‘can be used for food,” Mrs. Jaques said last night. ‘“These are the dock, nettle, sorrel, purslane, milkweed, dandelion, pigweed, lamb's quarter, marsh marigold, and brake fern. They make excellent greens and are nourishing. Purslane, com- monly called ‘pussly,’ which stands for the original sin to most people, is edible. Chinese are fond of it, and it is found in well cultivated gar- dens. Purslane will not grow any place else, and it can’t stand compe- tition. This Is Planting Time. “As this is planting time for the weeds, when the seeds are ripening and blossoming, and each weed is trying to get seeds in the ground for next year, people should decide whether or not these aggressive plants are to decorate the vacant lots over the city. Improvement associa- tions make the mistake of astacking weeds just because they are weeds. They sometimes forget that these plants can be utilized for their beauty. On one vacant lot wild car- rot grew riotously. Although wild carrot is a weed, which is called Queen Anne’s lace, it made a lovely spot of the vacant lot with its pretty white blossoms. The neighbors en- Jjoyed the white weeds across the way, but one day a man from the im- provement association came to mow them down. ‘“ ‘Ma’am, them's weeds,’ when the neighbor protested. Clover Will Sweeten Room. “Small vacant lots of sweet clover are ruthlessly destroyved. A bunch of the clover will sweeten a whole room. Besides, clover is beautiful, even when dried, and should be al- lowed to grow. I may be scatter- ing heresy by reciting the charms of weeds, but weeds need only control. They are most aggressive, but are not to be despised, either as food or as objects of beauty in form. “A jimson weed is ranked as the ‘worst sort, but in a private garden at Forty-seventh street in Kenwood this weed grows triumphantly, the most beautiful trumpet plant in the garden. Mullein is another weed most stately. In England it is called the velvet plant because the leaves are as thick as'plush and there it oceupies a place of honor with the flowers. It all de- pends upon the point of view. Weeds Follow Man. ‘“Weeds, like vermin, are imported from the old world. They follow man in civilization and never grow wild. They are the most human of plants and are the most dcmestic and fas miliar. They are never discouraged and always die game. When they cannot have the best they take what they can get. As John Burroughs says, if the weed cannot lord it over a corn hill it will sit at the foot and take what comes. The weeds -are the tramps of the vegetable world and, like tramps, titey follow the highways, Catnip, wild mustard, tansy, and moneywort are found about old home- steads, but they can hardly be coaxed to grow about a palace. ‘“Weeds are the most intelligent of plants. They have had to fight such hard battles to keep their ground and be saved from destruction that they kLave all kinds of ways to get them- selved carted about. Plenty to Eat. “They have developed hooks to catch onto people’s clothes, like the sand burs, the cockles, stick tights and Spanish needles. They have ways tu perpetuate themselves and no one need be alarmed at their vanishing by use on the table for food. There are ten weeds in every garden fighting one strawberry ‘plant for the suprem- acy. They are standpatters in battle and bravely resist the foe, which is usually a farmer with a scythe.” At her farm. “The Terrace,” near South Haven, Mrs. Jaques encour- ages all the weeds to grow. She has made a, study of each weed’s utility and beauty through many months of watchfulness. She champions the cause of the weeds for their economic value to the poor and the many de- signs they offer to the artist for sketches, she said. But most of all for food. he said Our Great Annual 40c Off the $1.00 Wall Paper Sale NOW IN PROGRESS JOHNBOYLE CO. 3 and 5 Franklin Square Hats. IN .
