WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1914.

Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day, although Neptune and the
Sun are both in benefic aspect.
1t is held that, owing to the dis
turbed world conditions, the wholesale
sacrifice of life and the grief and ag-
ony produced by the war, all the
forces that operate upon humanity are
affected For that reason Vac seers
declare that caution and conservatism
should rule all domestic and public
affairs
Neptune is in a place that is said
to indicate a fortunate condition for
whatever concerns American shipping
interests.
Under this rule it is said prosperity
will come from the South and from
countries not developed
There is a fortunate sign today for
those who seek promotion or political
preferment.
1t is a lucky day for all who desire
recognition from persons who are sue
cessful. The stars also favor men
and women in search of employment.
Colleges and schools are subject to
| beneficent rule. Vocational training
and all practical lines of education
will be emphasized, If the stars are
read Alright, and there is alluring
promise for all who are young in ev-
cry profession. The planetary sway
| benefits most those who have lived
but brief span, astrologers say, and
the coming years will be especially
hard for men and women who are
middle-aged or old.
Trouble in Morocco and the Trans
vaal is prognasticated. South Africa
will suffer during the winter from va
rious sinister Influences
Shipwrecks are prognosticated.
Next month will be particularly dan
gerous to navigation, 1t Is predicted.
The position of Neptune in the royal
! sign of Leo causes London astrologers
| to foretell period Of distress and
trouble for the king and queen Of Eng
! land Next month may be most IN
fortunate.
L
the omen of rather a successful year
Both men and women are warned not
to indulge in flirtations or love affairs
| that are not serious
Children born on this day probably
will enjoy life. They should be ex
ceedingly popular in the business OF
the social world. AS they are on the
cusp they partake of the qualities OF
Scorpio as we'll as Libra subjects.

iron workers are subject to unlucky
conditions and should be especially
careful to avoid accidents.
Canada is under a government OF
the stars which is lucky. Prosperity
Is foreshadowed and occasions for
public festivities are indicated
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of rather an anxious year,
but with caution they may avoid Sc
rious financial losses Women are
warned to be thrifty and to avoid ex-
travagance.
Children born on this day are likely
to be reliable and good-natured. Boys
probably will be fortunate in earning
money. Girls have the omen of mar
riage with al elderly man.

dings. Saturn e4erts power that is
sinister and forbidding
Women are subject to sway that
BODIES i'll for peace and happiness.
They should be wary of whatever
promises ease and luxury, for the
stars foretell an era of heavy respon-
sibilities and extreme activity in this
country as well as abroad.
Persons born on January q or June
% are warned to safeguard health and
business.
Owing to the fact that at San Fran
cisco Mars is on the cusp of the sew
enth house and separated less than
five degrees from opposition with
Jupiter, a serious difficulty with a for
eign nation has been predicted. AS
the Moon and Saturn are in the fourth
house mining interests may suffer.
A London astrologer prophesfes that
the war will continue many months.
Two years hence the indications are
that peace will be slowly readjusting
conditions, which will be most seri-
GUS in Holland as well as in other Eu-
ropean countries.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of possible danger of loss
from fire or thieves. Men may have
anxiety in business and women should
guard the health. The stars fore
shadow certain critical experiences.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be careless and extrava-
CANT. Girls may be inclined to be
coquettish. These subjects of Libra
usually have much tact and they make
many friends.

War Cuts Her Alimony.

The business depression caused by
the European war must be shared by
wife and husband alike, according to
Judge Fry's decision in the court OF
domestic relations
The wife of John Wagner of 821
East Forty-second place, painting
contractor, alleged he was doing a
business of $4,000 or more each year
and that he should be forced to pay
her and her fifteen-year-old son at
least SIS month, in addition to pay
ing the rent on $40 fiat. They sep
arated several months ago.
Madam, your husband offers to
produce his accounts to show that he
cannot afford to pay you what he did
other years." said the court, and or
dered her alimony fixed at $40 q
month.-Chicago Tribune.

II the orchard is infested or likely
to be infested with San Jose scale,
oyster-shell, bark louise, apple scab,
woolly aphis, shothole fungus, peach
leaf curl or brown rot, spraying the
trees during the dormant period will
be effective in preventing trouble.
For San Jose scale, oyster-shell,
bark louise, peach-leaf curl, and woolly
sphis, on the uper parts of the trees,
the spraying may be done at any time
during the winter, while an applica-
ton short time before the buds open
in the spring will aid in controlling
the other diseases mentioned These

vents the termination ard growth of
these Spores
The best allround spray material
for the insects and diseases mentioned
is the lime-sulphur wash, which acts
both as an insecticide and a fungicide.
me-sulphur wash is made as fol
lows:
Stake Is pounds of fresh lime in
five gallons of hot water, using all
iron kettle of twenty to twenty-five
gallons capacity. When shaking is in
full process, gradually sift in Is
pounds of flowers of sulphur, stirring
the mixture vigorously at the same
time. When all the sulphur has been
put in and thoroughly mixed, add six
or eight more gallons of hot water
! and boil about forty-five minutes.
Strain the mixture into the spray bar
rel and add water to make fifty gal
Ions. In making the lime-sulphur wash
it is best to have two kettles, one for
heating the water and one for boiling
the mixture. The mixture when pre-
pared should be of a dark reddish
brown color
If it Is not convenient for one to
make his own spray mixture, there
are the concentrated liquid and pow
der forms which may be procured
from dealers and which require only
the addition of water to be ready for
use. These are slightly more expen-
sive than the homemade and just as
effective.
In connection with winter spray
ing, any parts of the trees which are
badly infected should be pruned out,
and all "mummied" fruits destroyed,
as these form places of refuge for
both insects and fungi.
