particular variety of flower, believ-
ing it to be too difficult and temper
amental, but that actually the more
common forms of lilies are no harder
to handle than any herbaceous peren-
mails. Good varieties for the amateur
to start with are the Madonna, Regal
and Tiger, it is stated.
Most lily varieties require adequate
drainage and this may be secured
by placing sand under and around the
bulb. In addition, the bulbs should be
provided with a good fertility in the
form of well-rotted manure and bone
meal, thoroughly mixed with the soil.
The Canadian lily, and a few other
varieties require a moist or Doggy
condition. However, even with these
varieties, where it is necessary to have
the water-t table accessible to the root
system, well-drained condition should
exist around the bulb.
Depth of planting is largely deter
mined by the type of lily. Stemrooting
types are placed from eight to twelve
inches below the surface whereas nom
stemrooting forms are planted only
three to four inches below the surface.
In any case, most varieties of lilies
prefer to have the base Of the stem
shaded by the foliage of the plants,
although they should not be placed
where they will have to compete with
the hungry roots of trees and shrubs.
The time of year when importations
arrive will determine when the bulbs
shall be planted, although early fall
or spring is suitable.

HEALTH DOCTOR EXPLAINS
TRENCH MOUTH" DISEASE
Little Is Heard Of This Disease,
But 1t Is Highly Infectious

Speaking recently of diseases Of the
mouth, Dr. Richard C. Leonard, Chief
of the Division of Oral Hygiene of the
State Department of Health, listed
tooth decay and pyorrhea, as two that
are commonly known. Less is heard,
he said, Of an equally important di-
sease, known scientifically as "Vin-
cents infection" of the mouth, but
described popularity as trench
mouth. Trench mouth, he contin-
ued, sis germ disease. 1t is highly in
fectious. 1t can be picked up as cold
is, through direct contact with the
mouth Of an infected person or in
directly through the use of insufficient
ly cleansed eating utensils, dishes,
glasses, cups or other articles that
have been used by persons who have
the disease. 1t can be prevented by
keeping the mouth strictly clean and
in healthy condition; by avoiding the
use Of articles that may carry the
disease germs; and through other nee
essary precautions-whichn necessarily
include keeping in good physical con-
dition generally.
"The term trench mouth was ap-
piled to the disease during the World
War, because of it prevalence among
: the soldiers. The disease was wide
spread among the men in the trenches
and the war name has stuck to it. But
Vincent's infection goes back much
farther than the World War. 1t is an
old disease and is far more common
today than is generally realized. 1t is
not always mild, or unimportGnt di-
sease. While it does not necessarily
occur in a severe form, it can, and of
ten does result in serious illness. 1t
occasionally ends fatally. The symp-
toms include bleeding, then sore gums,
bad breath and finally mouth ulcers.
The disease may or may not be ac-
icompanied by fever. Any Of these con-
ditions may be due to some other
cause, and a dentist or the family
physician should be consulted prompt
ly.
"a diagnosis can not be made from
the symptoms alone, but is dependent
upon laboratory findings. The germs
that produce trench mouth are readily
recognizable under the microscope.
Treatment based upon the laboratory
findings usually results in an early
cure. Repeated microscopic tests
should be made during the course of
the disease and treatment should be
continued until the tests are negative
"In this disease, as in practically all
others, the patients physical condi-
ton, his power Of resistance to di-
sease, his willingness to cooperate and
to carry out the instructions of his
physician or dentist, play an impor-
tant part in his recovery"

The Open Eye
'salm 1913. open Thou mine

Psalm 119:1S. open Thou mine
eyes"
One of the commonest sins, and one
of the most fatal, says Jesus, is the
sin of willful blindness. eyes have
they but they see not; ears, but they
hear not" The tragedy of the multi
tudes is their lack of vision-"the
blind leading the blind into the pit"
Even the disciples, as they travelled
the road to Emmaus with downcast
eyes, did not recognize the Stranger
who walked with them to be the Risen
Lord himself, though their hearts
burned within them as he spoke to
them.
The Pilgrim Christ still walks the
crowded ways of life. Where the need
is most piteous, He is there. Where
the pain is most poignant, He is there.
In the crises and in the commonplaces
of life, He is with US. We feel His
restraining hand upon our shoulder
in hours of temptation. We hear His
whispered word of courage in mo-
ments of peril. We realize His radient
presence in times Of loneliness and at
all times His spirit is with us making
our hearts to burn within US with
ardent desire for the good, the true,
the beautiful. He is the constant
companion of our pilgrimage. But
like the disciples on the road to En-
maus, "our eyes are holden" and we
do not recognize Him. How much
joy and strength we lose for lack of
the open eye, the open ear, the open
mind, the open heart!

Faith and Fulfllment

John 4 80. The man believed the word
that Jesus spake unto him, and he
went his way.
Dwight L. Moody, we are told, was
once talking to a group of boys on a
Chicago street, trying to explain to
them the meaning of faith. He had a
beautiful book in his hand, and, hold
ing it out to one of the boys, he said,
"This is yours if you take it." Most of
the boys laughed; the one to whom
the offer had been made, suspecting
that there was some catch in it, did
not take the book Mr.. Moody repeat
ed his offer to the other boys. They
stood there, some giggling, some shy
and embarrassed. At last one boy
stepped forward and took the book
from Mr. Moody's hand. The other
boys were surprised, they wondered if
he would really be allowed to keep it.
"Of course, said Mr.. Moody, at is
his book. | offered it to anyone who
would take it, and this boy is the only
one who has the faith"
How many there are who live in
physical poverty, how many there are
who live in spiritual restitution, be-
cause they do not have the faith to ac-
cept the opportunities that come to
them. Our Heavenly Father is the
Giver of every good and perfect gift.
He offers you richly all things to en-
joy. He does not even withhold from
US the unspeakable gift, His Son to
be our Savior. But how many, through
lack of faith, turn wistfully away
from the priceless treasure which is
ours, if we will but accept it.

JOHNSON's SOUND ADVICE.

General Hugh Johnson, former MIRA cheftain who now heads the Works Progress Administration in New York has been having his trouble with striking workers. The upshot that he went on the air recently with speech outlining the situation typical Johnson language and urging honest labor ing men not to fall for what he termed blatant bunk" Particularly he referred to the system the Communist group has of pointing the finger at the American Federation of Labor It was excellent advice the General gave in the following excerpt:
 Some federation leaders have allowed themselves to be euchered and outgeneraled into raking Communist chestnuts out of this fire just as they rake contractors chesnuts. The Communist unions not openly lead ing this strike against Government They are fooling organized labor into the blame for that If this succeeds, they will strike later depending on your action, and then the history of this page will be written-that organized labor led a communistic strike against the Government and people of the United States
 In some cases they have gone further There are communistic groups in few federation unions They are not majority but they blocks strong as to put American labor leaders the spot. I do not charge any communism in the building trades
 This is not country for Communists. If that strategy succeeds and the A. F. of L unions are made to appear as the spear head in communistic strike, public support will depart from unionsm. and the clock of the labor movement in this country will be set back twenty years.
 Don't do it, boys Don't let yourselves be used to foul your nest and play suckers game.
 Virtually any discounts the benefits of good, healthy American labor unionism Vt have come to know it. But to retain it's respec and further it's ends it must keep it's owr house in order and not allow these foreign agitator to burrow into it's ranks, undermining the yer. principles on which labor unionism in this countr, was founded
