average for the United States is given
as 54 cents.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1914.

This is a day of contradictory infiu-
enees, according to astrology. While
Neptune, Saturn and Uranus are all
adverse, Venus and the sun are in ben
etc aspect Mars changes from evil
to good.
The best aspect of the day is for
earnest, enthusiastic minds that seek
to solve big problems. The sun
gives domination. power, vigor and
foresight Rulers and all who have
the destinies of nations in their keep
ing should benefit.
1t is a fairly good day for women,
who should be fortunate in their love
affairs. Marriages and engagements
are subject to a good ruling.
The aspect is a fortunate one for
seeking friends who may be valuable
in the everyday affairs of life. Socia-
bility, the entertainment of friends and
the meeting of strangers are all likely
to bring luck.
Neptune presages danger from
schemers. Fraud and misrepresenta-
ton are believed to flourish under this
rule 1t is predicted that crimes that
have to do with money will multiply
during the winter
Uranus is in place held to be most
unfortunate for those who should use
good Judgment Important decisions
should be delayed until a more auspi-
cious time.
The aspect operates to increase the
activity of the mind, making it rest
less, rebellious and impatient at limi
tations.
Under this confguration diseases of
the stomach and digestive apparatus
are supposed to increase.
Troubles in naval affairs are prophe-
sled persistently by the astrologers.
The planets do not give any assnr-
ance of speedy ending of war. There
Is prophecy of a winter campaign more
terrible than any that has ever been

crossing of the Alps by Napoleon's
army produced less suffering than will

| Persons whose birthdate it is are ad-
vised to avoid too much diversion.
| With attention to business men may
have prosperous yetr. Those who are
employed will benefit. The young will
become engaged or will marry.
Children born on this day may have
| dispositions that are mercurial and diff

bright minds and should succeed in
| life.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1914.

According to the reading of the
stars, this is rather an unimportant
day. Jupiter is in benefic aspect, but
Saturn is adverse, and it is wise to ex-
ercise caution.
The rule is fairly good for bankers,
merchants and lawyers, who should
find the days activities important
chiefly because they lead to broadened
fields of industry
There is good sign for buying
staples, being especially fortunate, as
commerce is TO open in many direc-
lions now unexpected
The Panama canal is subject to a

something quite unexpected
The exposition in San Francisco has

Uses much good luck.
While Saturn is unfriendly, it is
wise to avoid dark places and un-

believed to be common while the
planet is in evil aspect.
This is not a lucky day for starting
any new enterprise. 1t will pay to put
off any important venture In business.
Diplomatic blunders are foretold for

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1914.

He who works early will best sue
coed today according to the prognosti-
cations of the astrologers. Although
Saturn exercises an evil influence be-
fore daybreak, Mars, Uranus, Mercury
and Venus are in benefic aspect in the
morning hours of work. In the after
moon tie sun is adverse.
1t is held that the planets presage
winter of great trial to the people of
all nations, who will suffer poverty and
aIIness-
The seers agree on general predic-
saons of distress, but London astrol-
oger sees that again Daniels prophecy
ss TO be fulfilled and that certain king
shall see his kingdom broken and di-
vtded to the four winds and not to his
sposterity nor according to his dominion
which he ruled for his kingdom"
There is an encouraging sign for
women today. In business and profes-
ssional affairs they should benefit. They
will organize in new enterprises and
win accomplish much for the benefit
81 humanity in the next year.
Romance is subject to most encour-
aging conditions. The stars indicate a
growth of sentiment and return to less
mercenary standards of marriage than
have prevailed recently.
Advertising is governed favorably
during this configuration. Publicity
should be profitable to promoters OF
world interests.
The afternoon is not a fortunate
slime for diplomacy or for seeking aid
or advice from persons in high place.
Dealers in hardware, hunters. fisher
Enen and woodsmen are subject to
lucky guidance today.
Among those on whom Mars smiles
are architects, stonemasons, carpen-
tiers, launderers and tobacconists
ConQuerors and tyrants should be
aided by the stars as they are posted
during this day, which is not fortunate
sor those who have pity and kindness
as their guides.
Greece is warned against sinister in
siications that bode Ill for those who
rule.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
eounseled to guard the health during
the coming year. They may have
financial worries.
Children born on this day will be
bright, keen and active. but they may
have high-strung natures Violent
tempers are often inherited by these
subjects of Scorpio, who are on the
cusp and partake of the characteristics
of Sagittarius' people

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1914

Good and evil balance in the scales
today, according to the reading of the
stars While Mercury is in place
strongly benefic in it's influence, Mars
rules stubbornly for evil. Neptune is
slightly adverse and Jupiter rather IA
vorable
Editors, publishers and advertisers
should benefit while this conf1guration
lasts The signs indicate revival Of
interest in books and a change in
methods of obtaining publicity.
Writers should derive aid while this
sway continues. Again the rise of a.
new poet is prognosticated, and the be-
ginning of great epoch in American
letters.
Young persons are believed to be es-
pecially fortunate when Mercury rules.
Astrologers declare that the future
will give them greater opportunities
than have been enjoyed by any gen.
Grafton The year in the colleges will
be most extraordinary in good infiu-
ences, it is prognosticated.
This should be a fortunate day for
the presentation of any musical or
artistic entertainment The planetary
influences are believed to produce a re-
ceptive, responsive frame of mind on
the part of audiences.
1t is not a favorable time for sur
geons, physicians and chemists. Much
work is foreshadowed, with poor re-
turns.
Soldiers are under malign rule to-
day, Suffering from weather condi-
tons, disease and famine, as wen as
peril from shot and shell, are indicated
for this week.
Mexico's stars are still threatening,
and there is little promise of lasting
peace for many months. Americans
are warned of unexpected develop
ments that will cause the president
added anxieties.
Again the stars foreshadow much
sorrow to members Of royal families in
Europe. Bereavement in the house
hold of King George and Queen Mary
is indicated.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
avoid litigation and quarrels with bust
ness associates. Men will have an ac-
tive year in the commercial world.
Children born on this day probably
will be exceedingly bright, but quick
tempered Boys may be headstrong,
fond of pleasure, and exceedingly ac
tive Girls will be fortunate. These
subjects of Sagittarius have Jupiter as
their principal ruling planet.
