The Raymer enterprise., 1914-10-29

It is not an auspicious day for be-
ginning journeys or making changes
In places OF residence or business
sites.
Commercial ventures are under an
evil government. Loss of opportunity
is probable while this confguration
prevails. 1t Is foretold that the United
States will be slow in taking advan-
tage Of what Is possible on the high
ways Of the sea. but there is a prom
Using sign for shipping which will op-
crate before spring.
Women today should be fortunate In
love affairs and in all social enter
prises. 1t Is lucky time for we'd
dings and receptions.
There Is a good aspect for theaters
and all public entertainments. Again
the rise Of new favorites is indicated
and unexpected success is foreshad-
owed for one or two ambitious produc-
tions.
The rise Of prophet is prognosti-
Gated. The seers predict that man
OF supreme powers will be recognized
BY the world. Some declare that he
will be great teacher new Mes
siah-and others interpret the promise
of the stars as merely the heralding OF
a poet or philosopher.
A omen OF disaster to New York city
is frequently recognized by astrologers
who differ In their Interpretation of
the sign, One belief Is that a tidal
wave will snbmerge greater part OF
the city when 1t shall have become
the refuge OF the nations OF Europe
This date is read as 1915.
A return to modesty and reticence
Is foretold. Uranus. which the seers
think has caused many eccentric ac-
tlons and customs, will cease to be
powerful and women will return to
older standards of life. it is predicted
Persons whose birthdate II is have
the augury of an anxious year. Loss
OF money is probable. The health
should be safeguarded. Girls may be
eourted. but disappointments are indi-
Gated.
Children born on this day are likely
to demand much Of life. They may be
extravagant and careless in financial
affairs. Their sign is Seorpio and
their principal ruling planet Mars.

MODERN WAR IS MERcIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss OF life and greater pain
are caused. The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t is o.
the~soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim a fair chance OF re-
covery. 1t does not, as q rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps ,was practical
ly unknown 60 years Ago. and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but 1t Is far more eff
fective than In the pre-Lister DAYS.
Rapidly of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In The pres
ent war 1t Is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit.
lsh hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk of
being hit is greater, the chances of
recovery from injury have been i'm.
mensely increased.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1914.

This is day Of mingled good and
III planetary influences, for astrology
finds that Mercury is in an aspect
strongly benefic while Mars is ad-
verse.
The rule is auspicious for the sign
ing of contracts and for diplomatic
negotiations.
There is a sway that is held to be
promising for literary work of the best
standard. A woman will gain fame BY
a book Of fiction that deals with future
world problems. the seers declare.
Trouble over the breaking Of pacts
between nations is foreshadowed. Al
lies will disagree. 1t is predicted.
Mars gives warning of desperate
strife that will be continued until ma
tons are almost wiped out. 1t is prog
nosticated that the war will be pro-
longed In quarters at first not much In.

The planet that presages conflicts
today makes menace against intoxica.
tion, reckless speech and quarrels of
every sort.
London should benefit before the
end Of the month by Jupiter's transit

Warning is given that frugality and
economy should be practiced by per
cons In every walk of life. The stars
indicate that self-sacrifice and broth.
erly love will be demanded by the
world. Evil will befall those who fail
to heed the call Of universal brother
hood. the seers declare.
Residents Of Calcutta have q sinis-
ter sign that foreshadows some sort
Of a panic.
Dancing again comes under in

claimed much attention. Frivolities

year will be rather favorable for pub

College sports are subject to pros.
porous direction, but this Is not a
lucky day for feats Of physical
strength.
Persons whose birthdate II Ia should
beware OF law suits and business dis.
agreements. The year will not be sat.

Children born on this day probably

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1914.

Astrologers read this as an unim-
portant day. but the influences are
generally good. The Sun and Venus
are both in benefic aspect.
It is an auspicious time for confer
enees and for making plans that con-
eern important undertakings.
Rulers should benefit by the contig.

I've TO broader sympathies and kindlier
motives. Kings and princes will suf-

prognosticated
On this day the omens for love af.

Educational affairs should occupy
unusual attention, IL the astrologers
read the stars Alright. The colleges

new status through cooperation in
state affairs. the planets announce.
Persons whose birthdate ii is have a
lucky omen. Financial affairs should
prosper. Those who are employed
probably will be promoted.
Children born In this day have kind.
ly stars TO guide them. They should
be bright, active and fortunate in all
their undertakings. Girls, however,
may marry unhappily. They should
avoid men much older than them
selves.

MONDAY. NOVEMBER 9, 1914.

Astrologers warn against decisive
acts today, for the stars are uncer-
tain. While Mars is In benefic aspect
Venus and Saturn are strongly ad-
verse.
1t Is a day supposed to be most
favorable for all who use weapons or
sharp-edged tools. Soldiers of every
rank should benefit.
The aspectais believed to be bene-
fetal to surgeons. dentists. chemists
and all who alleviate human suffering.
Fame Is foreshadowed for Americans,
who will demonstrate supreme skill
in foreign hospitals. One of these
will receive remarkable honors.
The aspect should cause access Of
energy, producing courage to under
take great enterprises. Mars rules as
a fortune-bringer for those who con-
duct, manage or execute.
Metallurgists. smiths. engineers,
miners and all who fight the forces of
nature or utilize them are said to be
under the best possible rule.
Venus gives warning to women that
they are to meet with many condi-
tons that test their powers. They
are to give their services in great
enterprises for aiding their fellow be-
ings, While new opportunities are to
open to them they will meet heavy
responsibilities. In the humber vo-
cations competition will be intense.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1874. y

Astrology reads this as rather an
unimportant day In planetary direc-
tion, for while in the early hours
Venus Is In benefic aspect, Uranus Is
mildly adverse and there Is no strong
government.
1t is fairly good day for business
projects In which women are cor
cerned, but care should be exercised
to avoid misiudgment and miscalcula-
ton, There is an influence believed
to encourage deception and 10 render
difficult perception of character and
motives that actuate important moves
in business.
1t Is not good aspect for begin.
ming any work or for entering into
new business associations. Partner.
ships and contracts are subject to an
evil leading.
There is said to be a tendency
while this eonfiguration lasts. to make
hasty decisions and to regret them
afterwards. Change Of mind is more
frequent than at other times.
The seers prophesy that an era of
feminism, In its broadest sense. is at
hand. This has been long foretoId
and has been scoffed at by skeptics.
but the loss OF tens OF thousands OF
men in the war is declared to prove
that the prediction will be fulfilled.
Owing to the fact that he new

Death will strike many in high posi-
tion-both men and women-the stars

Neptune in Leo will cause trouble
for Italy, 1t is foretold. There is also
an ominous sign for the Vatican.
Persons whose birthdate II is have
the augury OF rather a quiet year. Re-
moyals and changes are likely to be
unlucky

one to perform the many kitchen du-
ties necessary TO the feeding of a
growing family.
Our grandmothers Travelled many
weary miles in going back and forth
across large kitchens that were roomy
and cool in summer and roomy and
cold in winter. They had few helps
In the way Of pantrles. cupboards,
shelving, kitchen cabinets and other
modern conyeniences, such as are con.
sidered neeessaries now, but there
was big woodburning cooking stove
and a generous wood box, which the
small boy OF the family was supposed
to keep well.filled by working nights
and mornings between school hours
and bedtime.
These old-fashioned Kitchens had to
be scrubbed once a week and swept
every day, a cleaning task OF no small
proportions. There was a big. fiat.
heavy table in one corner without a
knife drawer. and the pantries were
generally partitioned of in the most
awkward ways possible. sometimes in
opposite corners, which required trav.

WON FIRST VICTORIA CROSS
Highest Prized War Emblem Of Great
Britain Awarded to Sailor for
Daring Deed.

The stories cabed from England Of
how British hluejackets in the recent
naval engagement off Helgoland
picked up nnexploded shells that fell
on the decks of their vessels and
threw them overheard recall the fact
that the first Victoria cross was
awarded to sailor in the Crimean
war for performing exactly such
feat. He was Rear-Admiral c. D. I.u.
cas-, r. n, who died several weeks
ago, just about the time hostilities
broke out lie was an acting mate on
board the Heela, Of Admiral Napier's
fleet. in the Baltic, and the feat which
won him the cross was performed dur.
ing the bombardment of the Aland
Islands, where the Russian and Ger
man fleets were reported as having
been engaged in the present war.
The shell which dropped on the
Hecla's deck was fizzing when Lucas
leaped forward and pitched 1t over the
side. There was only the barest frae.
ton Of unbnrned fuse between him
and destruction, but he was cool and
collected in his manner of performing
the exploit. Captain Hall. his com.
mander, brought the deed TO the at.
tention OF Admiral Napier. who wrote
to the admiralty that he trusted
their lordships would mark their
sense of his act by promoting him.
Accordingly. he was promoted to lieu.
tenant. and upon the institution OF the
Victoria Cross the first Of the deccra.
tons was conferred upon him.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1912.

Astrology reads in the stars so
many conflicting influences that eau
tion should be the watchword today.
Uranus, Mars, Neptune, Mercury, and
Saturn are adverse. while Venus,
Jupiter and the Sun are friendly.
The configuration is held to be dis
turbing to mental poise and weaken
ing to the will. While Jupiter and
the sun given encouragement to those
who engage in large affairs conditions
are not advantageous. except for those
OF supreme power to overcome OBJ
stacles.
Mars Is declared to be martial,
inimical and wrathful. governing
evilly, menacing the safety OF men
and women. The sign is read as
ominous for China and japan.
There is a prognostication that the
races which represent civilization In
the western world must give way to
semibarbaric peoples.
