was entitled to one-half, the second to one

Commander of the Faithful The cahph add

TO KEEP THE EASTER
LILIES FRESH FOR DAYS

HKOW to keep Easter lilies fresh
is a bit Of plant lore that many
housewives will be glad to be
informed about because of the
gifts they received Sunday. And as
the method of preserving them is
simple one, according to an expert
florist, there is no reason why many
women should not have them blooming
for from two to three weeks.
Besides watering lilies regularly, the
most essential thing is to keep them
out Of drafts" he says, for moth
ing is SO injurious as to have sudden
gusts of wind strike the leaves, bios
SONS or even the roots, for 1t blasts
them, and they begin to wither.
"They should be sprayed with mod
erately cold water once each day, pref
erably in the morning. And the great
est care should be taken to get it di
rectly on the roots and not on the
flowers, for every drop Of water will
make yellOwish spot on the beauti-
full white petals that detracts from
their dazzling color. These lilies need

have known more Of them to wilt from
neglected watering than from any 9th
er cause. So many women give them
drinks regularly for three or four days
and then forget about it for twenty
four or fOrty-eight hours, and in that
time the mischief is done. and the
plant has lost so much nOurishmenl
that it is never again fresh. The
petals lose their glossy appearance and
crispness, become dull and lifeless, the
leaves droop and turn yellow, and the
once beautiful things show every sign
of decay.
This condition can easily be retard-
ed for from fourteen to twenty days

are so tender and, of course, wilt, just
as when they are put in draft.
"Then, too, would not allow them
to be near heat or a fireplace and
would endeavor to keep the atmos-
phere as near even as possible and
never above 10 degrees
with the cut lilies the best plan. If
they are to be kept four days or a
week, is to change the water once a
day and to keep in deep vase where
the liquid will extend well up the
stems. l would suggest cutting of
the ends of the stocks every day, so
the flowers will be readily nourished
by the water. This is impossible after
the pores in the ends close up, as they
do unless removed every twenty-foIF

was, the rest Of the country made a
great deal more fuss about it than did
Lancashire.
There was nothing lurid about the
instant death of $50 men TO the people
of Wigan. 1t was only one of the hard
incidents of their life that such a risk
existed. With fatalism that accounts
for more than half the phlegm Of these
miners, they had gone back into a mine
day by day in which they could dis
tinctly smell gas. They reported it, as
has been divulged at the inquest, but
