FIRST FLOWER OF AMERICAN
sANCTITY TO LOOM ON CHRIS
TIAN ALTARS-ST. ROSE OF
LIMA is PECULIAR PATRON
OF WESTERN WORLD.

On August 80 the Church celebrates
Virgin Rose of Lima. This child of
prediction was marked from her
infancy with miraculous gifts and fav-
ors. The flowers themselves recog-
nized her as their queen and to do
her homage blossomed out of season.
The trees bent down their branches to
her, and even the insects formed
themselves into choirs, while the birds
We'd with her in celebrating the
praises of their common Master. She
beautifully makes play upon the names
of her parents when she would sing;
90 my Jesus, how beautiful Thou art
among the olives and the flowers, and
Thou dost not disdain Thy Rose!"
She was the daughter of Gaspard
Flores and Maria Olivia.
In the Bull of canonization Glenn
ent X relates how one day when Rose
was very i'll the infant Jesus appeared
and played with her. He taught her
in manner suitable to her tender
age the value and the advantages of
suffering. He left her full of joy and
endowed her with an heroic love Of
the Cross. In legend we learn how
far the Saint carried out in her rig
orous penances the lesson that she
had learned from the Infant Jesus
Himself, When some one exhorted
her to courage in the super-human
agonies of her last illness, she re-
piled: ''All l ask of my Spouse is that
He will not cease to burn me with the
most scorching heat till | become a
ripe fruit that He will deign to Gull
from this earth for His Heavenly
home"

OUR OWN SAINT ROSE

Church gives us this beautiful &C
count of her sanity life:
THE first flower of sanctity that
blossomed in South America, the Vir,
gin Rose, was born of Christian par
ents at Lima. From her very cradle
she gave clear signs of her future
holiness. Her baby face appeared
one day changed in a wonderful way
into the image of a rose, and from
this circumstance she was called Rose.
Later on the Virgin Mother of God
gave her also her own name, bidding
her to be called thenceforward Rose
of st. Mary. At five years of age she
made VOW of perpetual virginity,
and when she grew older, fearing her
parents would compel her to marry,
she secretly cut off her hair which
was very beautiful. Her fasts exceed
ed the strength of human nature. She
would pass whole Lents without eat
ing bread, living on five grains of a
citron a day
Penance and Suffering.
'She took the habit of the Third Or.
der of st. Dominic and after that re,
doubled her austerities. Her long
and rough hair-shirt was armed with
steel points, and day and night she
wore under a veil a crown studded
inside with sharp nails. Following
the arduous example of Saint Gather.
inc of Siena, she wound an iron chain
three times round her waist, and
made herself a bed of the knotty
trunks of trees, filling up the vacant
spaces between them with potsherds
She built herself a narrow little cell
in distant corner of the garden and
there devoted herself to the contem
plation of heavenly things, subduing
her feeble body by iron disciplines
fasting and watching. Thus she grew
strong in spirit, and continually over
came the devils, spurning and dispel
ling their deceits.
Though she suffered greatly from
severe illness, from the insults offer
ed her by her family and from unkind
tongues, yet she would say that she
was not treated so badly as she de
served. During fifteen years, she suf
fered for several hours a day terrible
desolation and dryness of spirit, but
she bore this suffering, worse thar
death itself, with undaunted courage
After that period, she was given ar
abundance of heavenly delights, she
was honored with visions, and fell
her heart melting with seraphic love
Her Angel-Guardian, Saint Catherine
of Siena and our Lady used often tt
appear to her with wonderful famili
arity. She was privileged to heal
these words from our Lord: Rose
of My Heart, be thou My bride" A
length she was happily introduced in
to the paradise of this her Spouse, anC
being famous for miracles both before
and after her death, Pope Clement X
solemnly enrolled her among the Holy
virgins

KEEP FOOD AT HOME
kansans Asked Not to Send EdibIes
TO the Soldiers.

kansans were today urged not to
send foodstuffs to soldiers at the army
camps. The request was issued by the
state council of national defense fol-
lowing receipt of a similar request
from the national orga animation.
Heavy losses of food have occurred
and health of many of the men en-
dangered as a result of the practice of
sending food to men in army canton
ments- Suspension of these shipments
as food conservation measure as
well as for the protection of the men.
is urged In a statement today the
council said:
The council of national defense de-
sires to inform the people of the
country that abundant food is SUD-
piled to the soldiers and sailors in the
camps and environments, and that the
sending of food to these men by their
friends and families is not in any re-
spect necessary; that the aggregate
quantity of food thus privately sent
is enormous, and that much of it. hav-
ing been conveyed long distances in
heated express or mail cars. is more
or less spoiled, and consequently in
furious to the health of the men.
Therefore, in the interest of the con-
servat1on OF food, and also the health
of the men, the council of national
defense requests the public to discon-
tinue the sending of foodstuffs to the
camps"

PLAN COAL ZONES
Garfield Will Divide the Nation
Into Districts.
Cut Out Long Distance and
Cross Hauls.

Washington. Jan. 24-Dr H A
Garfield, fuel administrator, will play
his last card short of his ace-govern-
ment operation of coal mines-within
the next week. 1t is his plan for dis
tricting the country in the distribution
of coal, and he admitted today that it
means virtual government control of
the entire coal industry
He further agreed that whether or
not government control follows, the
districting system is the next step to-
ward it.
The move is to be made as a logical
sequence to regulation of prices, regu-
lation of wages and railroad embar-
goes. all of which steps proved sue
cessfuI, according to the fuel admin
istratiOn. but the combined effect of
which has not yet sufficed to iron out
the fuel situation completely.
Thru dividing the country into dis
tricts, in cooperation with Director
General of Railroads McAdoo. Doctor
Garfield hopes to reduce the number
of cas- and the railroad mileage eaten
up by the coal industry. This will in
turn produce increased mine output
as il will give the mines enough cars
to keep them working full time. Cross
hauls will be eliminated. No district
will be permitted to send out coal
until it has supplied its own needs. and
no district will be permitted to bring
in coal if it can supply itself.
Miners Clearing House.
Contracts of the mines and whole
salers will be traced thru a clearing
house SO that conformation with the
districting system may be made uni
versal- DR.. Garfield and Mr.. McAdoo
conferred on the plan late Wednes-
day afternoon and the former said he
hoped to have a definite description of
the system. with an order putting it in
force, ready for publication in a few
days
The trend toward virtual control of
the coal business thru cooperation be-
tween the two executive heads today
shared attention with the improving
coal and transportation situation
Both men were very much pleased at
reports received from A H Smith, Mr..
McAdoo's assistant in New York, and
both expressed confidence that the
new embargo against general freight
shipments on the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore & Ohio and Reading lines
to the port of New York would quick
ly clear up congestion there.
only seventy-one ships remain in
the harbor of New York DR.. Garfield
said. ''and all of them either have
their coal aboard, or have it lying
alongside ready for bunkering'
As for New York's domestic fuel
problem, admittedly stringent. DR.
Garfield said he had Just received re-
ports showing that there are now on
the Jersey shore awaiting shipment
across the Hudson to Manhattan 9, 093
cars of anthracite coal The difficulty
lies in getting this coal to Manhattan
bins
