EARLY BULB PLANTING.
Expert Tips About How to Manage
 Your Lily Bed.

Expert Tips About How to Manage
 Your Lily Bed.
 Bulbs are real harbingers of spring, and there are no plants so easily grown nor so inexpensive as hya- cinths, tulips or daffOdils. Inside a bulb are many thickened scales, which contain enough stored food to develop the blooms. Because of this nourish- ment such bulbs as the hyacinth, pa- Der white narcissus and the Chinese sacred lily may be grown in water If desired, though water contains prac- ticauy no plant food. The whole grow ing period is supported by the food in storage.
 For the same reason the soil used for potting bulbs needs to be loose and porous rather than rich, so that roots may easily develop. If the soil is a heavy clay 1t should be frightened by the addition of sand or even finely sifted coal ashes. Fresh manure must not be used. Even well routed manure should be avoided unless 1t Is thor oughly incorporated in the soil.
 The best bulbs that can be bought are rarely too expensive. A cost of 6 or 10 cents each for bulbs is unim- portant when growing plants from which you expect the best results. Tulips, dafrodlls and most other bulbs should be planted four to eight in a pot, but hyacinths appear best when planted singly. The pots should not be large. A little broken pottery Is put over the hole In the bottom for drainage, and the pot is filled with enough soil so that when the bulbs are placed in it they will be just un- derneath the soil surface. A little space Is left at the top of the pot for water.
 After potting, the bulbs are to be watered thoroughly and placed in the dark so that they may start their roots before their tops. Most failures in bulb planting are due to q lack of attention to this simple detail.

MAY HIS TRIBE INCREASE.

It is interesting to note that
Louis Hoffman,, a publisher of
New Orleans and New York, has
undertaken to give two young
women a collegiate education as
an expression of his gratitude for
the prosperous business year he
has had. He feels that he can af-
ford it and that he ought to do it.
His action is praiseworthy. He
realizes that he is the steward, not
the owner, Of the wealth which is
his and that some return should be
made not only to Almighty God
Who gave the boon, but to the
public for the patronage shown
him.
His example. could, with profit,
be initiated by many other bust
ness men, were they actuated by a
proper appreciation of the favors
they have received from on high
as evidenced in the business pros
perity which they enjoy. There
are many ways in which they
could show their gratitude to
"the Giver of every good and per-
feet gift. - Mr.. Hoffman, s
method is only suggestive Of the
ways and means they might en-
ploy. There are a hundred and
one avenues of helpfulness open to
the successful business man in the
religious, educational, philan-
thropic and social world, and a
multitude Of uses to which the sur
plus funds may be put. We COM
mend Mr.. Hoffman's example to
others in the hope that it may be
contagious.

COMMUNION FOR PEACE.

The semi-official "Osservatore
Romano" prints the following
ordinance:
"The Pope, always particularly
desiring to see faithfully and
piously carried out the decree
Guam Singular Tridentina Syno-
dus promulgated by his pred
ecessor of holy memory, orders
all European Bishops to use their
utmost endeavors to have all Cath
Ole children Of both sexes solemn
ly communicate for the intention
of His Holiness on Sunday, July
80, 1916, in view of the imminent
approach of the second anniver-
sary of the outbreak Of the war. !"
The Pope's intention, as is
generally known, is that the faith
full pray to God to grant that
peace may speedily be restored to
Europe. Although the ordinance
refers only to European Bishops,
inasmuch as the war is primarily a
European event, yet it is the in
tention that Catholic children all
over the world offer up their Holy
Communion on that day for the
early cessation Of the war.
Not only children, but all the
faithful should make fervent petit
ton in their prayers that God may
speedily restore peace among the
warning nations and usher in a
new era of harmony and friendly
cooperation in wiping out the raw
ages wrought by the present con-
fiict.

this disgrace was expulsion from
the university on the charge of
making reckless and inexcusable
publication of defamatory charges
against fellow students. The
disgrace was the keener because
the editor was a senior, brilliant
man, Phi Beta Kappa, an orator,
and the winner of a coveted
poetry prize. A free press is i'm
portant, is necessary in democ-
racy. But the law does not
allow the defamation Of the inno-
cent, and makes it a crime with a
heavy penalty when it is done.
Some papers and editors are scan
dial mongers and should be greeted
with contempt by all decent
people. They are the kissing
rattlesnakes of society, sinking
their fangs into the veins of those
around them. The poison pen,
like the poison tongue, setteth

A CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY.

The America Press, SO East 83rd
Street, New York, has published
a five cent pamphlet containing
papers on the New York Charities
Investigation that show actual
conditions in the Catholic institu-
tions maligned in the recent hear
ings before the Strong Commits
sion. Father Blakely, Father Tier
ney, the Rev. DR.. Higgins and Mr..
Hebberd examine from different
angles the value of the investi-
gators testimony, and throw light
on the motives that prompted the
attack. The pamphlet is illus
trated by thirty -nine photographs
taken in the maligned institutions
so that readers may see for them
selves how baseless are the charges
made by the investigators. AS
the attack on the Catholic chart
ties of New York is only one ma
neuver of what is evidently a
widespread campaign to secularize
and paganize all relief-work in
this country and to take God from
the hearts Of children, the pam
phlet should have more than a
local appeal to Catholics. The
thirty-nine pictures, nearly all
taken long before there was anv
thought Of these Investigations, :"
show, through the practical test of
the camera, how shameless has
been this campaign Of calumny. It
is only necessary to compare them
with the statements made in the
proceedings of the Charities In
vestigation to know the truth
about the training and condition
Of the children under the care of
Sisters and their assistants.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
DlsouALIFIcATloNs OF DRINK.

Intoxicating drink disqualifies. From
what? From almost everything that
requires reason, talent and effort.
Men who pay for labor or for effort
recognize the disqualification of drink
almost as clearly as they recognize the
disqualification of bad health. The
man who needs stimulants to perform
his work confesses to his evident
weakness. The free horse is more
desirable than the one that requires
the whip before he will work. The
necessity of the stimulant and of the
whip increases with use or habit.
This is evident. Public service cor
porations realize the drawbacks of
drink and legislate against the users.
A railroad in Chicago lately posted the
following notice:
mo employee is allowed to use
liquor in any form when on duty, and
no employe viii be allowed to work
when there is any indication that he
has used liquor in any form before
coming to work, and the smell of
liquor about him will be sufficient.
Employees who are noted as having
used liquor when on or off duty, or
who are found to frequent saloons
when off duty, will be deemed habitual
users of liquor and are subject to dis
missal from the service Employees
who go into saloons when on duty in
any capacity will be discharged"
This is not an isolated case. 1t is
a policy in force on all the lines that
enter Chicago, and that enter other
cities, for that matter There are
many manufacturing establishments
and stores and shops that adopt the
same policy. The policy may not be
published, but they all have the dead
line" established in practice.
The breezy agent, drummer, en-
gineer, clerk, and SO on, who need
stimulants to smile and to work and
to think, are soon numbered among
the missing and the dead" in the
battle for business success. There
are not many of the "old guard" left
on the field, and none of them are
selected to lead a charge. Eye
openers" "bracers" and might caps"
ought to be discarded by those who en-
ter the race to win. No one goes to
the saloon to look for men reliable,
strong and alert. A steady hand and
a clear head are not the products of
the bar. He drinks" is a whisper
that upsets many young mans pros
poets.
The most popular society ought to
be the total abstinence one 1t may
not assess for weekly benefits, but it
will safeguard position and health,
and assure dividends in responsibility
and happiness.

A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

A food factory in Boston employing
8OO to a thousand men and women,
largely unskilled labor, retains the
services of trained nurse all the
time and a supervising surgeon who
spends an hour and one-half at the
factory three times a week He gives
an account of the work in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, April
6, 1916. Employees are thus under
frequent health inspection and super
vision with certain very definite ad-
vantages:
For the employer there is increased
goodwill on the part of steadier and
more contented employees. There is
greater cleanliness of shop and prod
uct. Conditions are sufficiently i'm
proved to entirely justify the outlay.
Freedom from disease in the food man.
ufactured is assured. Thus the en-
ployers, employees and the consuming
public gain from this work.
Any person found to be suffering
from vice diseases is discharged abso-
lutely and never re-employed.
All employees addicted to the hab-
itual immoderate use of alcohol are
excluded. To keep such persons near
machinery, says the ply
sician in charge, is to court disaster,
not only to them, but also to other
workers.

noon for a chapel hour" during
which an address is delivered by
an outsider OH some topic of inter
est to the student body.
According to reports which
have reached us, some of the
speakers so far forget the pro-
prieties as to make remarks more
or less offensive to their Catholic
hearers. They forget that the
University Farm School is main
tanned by the state for all it's citi-
zens, no matter what their relig-
ious beliefs may be, and that no.
thing savoring of sectarianism
should escape their lips.
When the matter was brought
to our attention we laid the facts
before Dean Woods, the head of
the University Farm School, and
he assured us of what we were al
ready aware, that he would not
tolerate anything of the kind in
the school and would take immedi-
ate steps to investigate the COM
plant and, if found true, remedy
the grievance.
We have the utmost confidence
in Dean Woods who, we know, is
only too anxious to conduct the
institution along lines of the high
est efficiency and, therefore, will
not permit even the most yelled at
tack on the religious convictions.
of any student. He bids us say,
for the benefit Of the students and
for the information Of the public
at large, that if matters of this
kind are promptly reported to him
he will appreciate the information
and take whatever measure may
be necessary to prevent a repeti-
tion of the offence. If in future
the students Of the University
Farm School have any just cause
for complaint about the speakers
selected to address them, they
should report the matter at once
to the Dean.

One of the spectacular attrac-
tions staged at last weeks carni-
val by the East Lake Street Com
mercial Club of Minneapolis, was
an open-air wedding ceremony
performed ON the grounds by a
minister whose nickname is not a
synonym for religious or mental
stability.
The Commercial Club which has
to resort to such methods of slim
ulating patronage should advertise
for a commodity which is evident
ly very rare among its members,
namely, common sense, and a due
regard for ceremony which the
ordinary Christian surrounds with
certain degree Of sacredness.
Evidently it's members belong to a
gradually decreasing class Of mer-
chants and professional men who
believe that everything is fair in
business and that the spirit Of the
times will condone every breach Of
public propriety.

WORDS VERSUS ACTIONS.

We are told that President Will
son aroused great enthusiasm at
the Worlds Salesmanship Con-
gress, held in Detroit, Mich, last
Monday, by urging business men
to carry justice and fair-dealing
into the ports of the world, par
ticularly those of Mexico, and
thereby establish confidence, in
American principles. He said that
his efforts would be to serve all
America by serving Mexico herself
for her best interests without u.s.
ing force. The President added
that he believed in the old Vir-
ginia bill of rights which declared
that country may do as it pleases
with its own government.
Evidently the President s views
have changed since the time, about
three years ago, when, by refusing
to recognize Huerta, he proclaimed
othe world that Mexico could not
do as it pleases with its own gov
eminent. = Had he acted differ
emily then, it would not be, neces-
sary for him to assert now that he
is trying ito serve all America by
serving Mexico herself, ;" for the
public would take his actions at
their face value and it would moi
have been necessary for him to In
dulge in watchful waiting
policy which has been so disas-
trous, not only to the peace and
prosperity of Mexico, but to the
prestige of the United States.
