Saturday, March 26, 1910.
Go boldly forth. Thou shalt

But i'll fare they who bIindly
speed.
Jupiter is in ecIiptic conjunt

e5th day the darkening Moon is
under the domination of the
sign Libra.
Mars in trine with the Moon
is highly favorable, making a
martial, flaming, energetic at
mosphere, especially helpful
and inspiring to persons of
great force, energy and resolu-
ton.
The influence will be for dar-
ing and enterprise-so much
so that uncommonIy daring in
dividuals, or those habitually
reckless, will be in danger of
becoming too impetuous, DASH
ing blindIy into dangerous or
foolish attempts.
Surgery, medicine, travel for
health and diet are under ex-
ceIIent signs, promising COM
fort and help for the i'll and
suffering.
Ingenious persons, artificers,
scientists and clever Workmen
should find singular power in
hand and eye today, but un-
skilled persons must be care
full about handling pointed or
edged tools, approaching ma
chinery or flame, entering or
leaving vehicles, and crossing
roadWays.
There is grave danger in
handling weapons.
Those wearing uniforms or
distinctive garb or insignia
should find the time favorable.
Employees will profit by zeal

Firmness and resolution will
