secure in his rights.
Three developments marked the in

renee H. Hight, the jockey who be-
came pastor, and Mrs. Elsie Sweetin,
his parishoner at Mount Vernon, ILL.,,
whose mutual infatuation caused the
poisoning and death of the mans wife
and the womans husband. The two
probably will be tried in the October
term of court. They probably will
be tried separately on murder charges,
he for killing his wife, she for killing
her husband.

LILY

T lily may truthfully be said to be
- a flower name. Although effort
has been made to concoct for it an in
tricate genealogical history. 1t is best
accounted for by the pure white
flower with golden tongue, which gives
its fragrance to the spring season.
Curiously, Lily has always been
vaguely identified with Cecilia. Since
the former was found difficult to trace,
the italian name Liliola was thought
to be one of it's progenitors. 1t was
borne by Liliola Gonzaga in 1910, but
was soon softened in Italy to ziliola
or Cecilia.
Lily is purely English and American.
The Scotch have the form Lilias, made
popular through Lilias Ruthyen in
1857. A Scottish ballad is also spon-
sor for Lillian, but in recent years, the
heroine of "Roswal and Lillian" who
was queen of Naples, is generally re-
ferred to as Lily, and the significance
of the flower is the accepted motive
for it's use.
The diamond is Lily's talismanic
stone. 1t will protect her from dan
ger and disease, and promises her vic
tory over her enemies and the fulfill
ment of her ambitions. Saturday is
her lucky day and 7 her lucky num-
Der. The lily, of course, is her
flower.

PHYSICIANS ON THEIR HONOR
in MATTER OF PRESCRIPTIONS

DR.. William Allen Pusey is quoted
by the Journal of the American
Medical association as saying in an
address to that association, eve are
trustees controlling the medicinal
use of narcotics and alcohol, and the
obligation put on us is peculiarly one
or honor. 1t is more even than a
matter of obedience to law. We are
put on honor in utilizing the privi-
leges that are given us in the pre-
scribing of narcotics and alcohol. It
is a weak man, or a dishonest one,
who, when he realizes the peculiar
character of his obligations, under
these laws, will hold them lightly"
