NOT HARD TO TELL FORTUNES
Little Need for Soothssyer TO Ee Fit
ted With Much More Than Ordi-
nary intelligence.

The way to tell peoples fortunes is
to have one list of characteristics,
and use it for every one without the
slightest variation. 1t is bound to
succeed For instance, suppose Fal-
staff and Hamlet had their fortunes
told by the same sothsayer. | mag
inc he would have told Hamlet's char
acter as follows:
You are not as fortunate az you
seem. You have great deal of sense,
but more sense than knowledge. YoH
can give admirable advice to other
people. Your judgment is excellent
as regards others, but bad as regards
yourself. You never value your own
good advice. You are fond of your
f: lends You prefer to talk to action.
You suffer from INDIGESTION. You are
frnd of the stage. You are suscepti-
bic to female beauty. You are witty,
aniable and well educated, but you
like coarse jokes. You are supersti-
tious and believe in ghosts. You can
make people laugh. You often pre-.
tend to be more foolish than you are.
At other times you will surprise peo-
pie by your power of apt repartee.
Your bane will be your inclination to
fat, which, will hamper you in fight
ing. You are unsuccessful as sol
der, but unrivaled as companion
and philosopher You will mix in high
society, have friends at court. You
will come off badly in personal en-
counter and your final enemy will be
a king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the
same thing to Falstaff. Doesn't It fit
him just as we'll? Can't you imagine
Falstaff saying: He has hit me off to
a T." and Hamlet murmuring: MY
prophetic SOUL" In fact, believe for
tune telling after that. of medicine, to
be the finest profession in the world,
and the easiest.-Metror niitan.

Start Your Baby

Regular Bowel Movement from
Childhood on FOreSfaHS Future
Serious Diseases

SGF tOtGS A\tSGGSOSS
We cannot all start life with the adj
vantages of money, put every child
born is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate ig-
norance or carelessness in the feeding
of baby its tiny stomach may be-
come deranged. The disorder spreads
to the bowels and before the mother
realizes it the two chief organs on
which the infants comfort and health
depend are causing it great suffering.
If the condition is allowed to continue
grave ailments often result.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do.
but it should be done instantly--is to
give the baby a small dose of a mild
laxative tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
Well-known persons as the parents of
Dixie Dudley, Magnolia, Ark, the

pleasant-tasting laxative, which every

gain?"
1t was. 1t was not without many
nisgivings that Mildred Thomas
mailed her letter to George Howard,
but Fanny's hints were eating into
her soul like vitriol. She must know,
aow, whether her lover ever had been
in love before. That would be dread
full Still she might forgive it, but
she could never forgive deceit. When
the letter was mailed she wanted it
back, and all that day and the next

Mildred was looking her prettiest
when George Howard arrived. He
looked so haggard and mournful that
she could hardly find words with
which to greet him. Bitterly now she
repented having been persuaded by
Fanny to play that foolish joke But
she must play her part through. They
sat down very soberly side by side in
the empty reception room.
