HOROSCOPE.
Monday, September "a, 1917.

Venus rules strongly for good in the
evening of this day, according to as
trology. Earlier. the Sun and Uranus
are adverse.
This should be an exceedingly lucky
day for weddings, engagements and
social entertainments of every sort.
The seers declare that romance once
again will overcome all that is mer-
cenary in the average American en-
gagcment and marriage.
This should be a rarely favorable
time for first nights at the theaters.
1t is lucky date for actresses and
singers. but II they are to sign con-
tracts they would better delay.
Since women come much TO the fore
under this rule of the stars, astrologers
forsee for them benefits to be de-
rived from high service and self
sacrifice.
There is a sign read as indicating
some sort OF sensational agitation con-
cerning food and food laws. which will
not end seriously.
Socialism will be much in the pub
lie mind during the next few weeks
when some event will fx public atten-
tion upon its tenets.
New York City and other large CEN
tiers of population face new and ex-
traordinary problems for the winter.
astrologers declare, and these will be
in some way connected with questions
affecting children.
Recognition for a woman writer who
achieves much in channels of philan-
thropy is foretold.
Earthquakes again are prognosticat-
ed and these will be in districts sell
dom previously affected
An invention that will be of world.
wide note is promised for an Ameri-
can, who will achieve much for the
war.
Changes that are radical are indi-
Gated in the fashions that will be IN
troduced in the spring and these are
due to some attitude of the public
mind.
Something like a campaign of cheer
appears to be indicated by the stars
which foreshadow leader who
teaches the power of thought.
Persons whose birthdate II is should
be careful of conduct with the oppo.
site sex. Pleasure and company vii
not be beneficial during the coming
year.
Children born on this day should be
trained to systematic habits as these

At this time it is apropos to men,
ton a disease. diphtheria, which is
always present in large cities. This
disease, although we know its cause,
we have a specific cure and definite
menas OF prevention, still is endemic
that is there are always some
cases. and beginning about the lst OF
October, it gradually increases until
its maximum is reached in the early
spring.
1t is well known that the disease Is
transmitted by direct contact. 1t Is
also well known that the germs can
be carried, and are carried, in healthy
throats and noses. 1t is an Impossible
task to corral the vast number of car
riers existing in a great city. What
must be done is to prevent their pro-
duction, and by preventing carriers we
prevent the spread of diphtheria.
Carriers are produced by contact
with an Individual suffering with
diphtheria and it can be readily seen
that the logical thing to do Is 10
prevent this contact by forbiddinS
intercourse Of the sick child with
its friends, family and schoolmates
at the earliest possible moment NOW
how can this be brought about?
First, by the education Of the family
through the family physician as to
the dangers of contagion, although
it would seem that every intelligent
adult must be acquainted with these
dangers today, when so much Is be-
, ing written and disseminated upon
these subjects. Second, by, the quick
recognition and diagnosis OF the dis
/ ease by the attending physician. and
third, by the prompt report of the
case to the Department of Health.
1t is a well established fact that
among our better classes the posi-
/ bility Of contagiousness In the all
ments, especially of children. is
! quickly recognized. and an intelligent
mother Immediately isolates the child
/ suffering with colds. sore throats
and kindred troubles. the result be-
/ ing that the danger of contagion to
! other members of the family, of
| friends and the community is almost
nil. The disease is then recognized
early and the prognosis is invariably
! favorable.
Almost the opposite prevails
/ among the poorer and less intelli-
gent. When. among these. a child
/ is reported sick, there follows the
/ collection of mothers, often with
| their children, in the home of the
/ stricken one-an example or un-
/ instructed kindliness.
The attending physician Is often
/ the mentor in health matters among
] his patients; it is to him they look
/ for instructions upon these points.

Orifin Of |Hoosier. "

While the derivation Of the word In
diana from Indian is apparent, the
origin Of the word Hoosier applied
to an inhsbitant OF that State is not
regarded as entirely clear. The theory
which has gained the greatest ar-
ceptance is that IL received its pres
ent form from the vernacular render
ing OF the query: who's yerg" in
stead Of who are yOu?" when
stranger appeared at the door Of a
frontier cabin.
For long time the word Hoosier

MEAT AND POTATOES
MAKE PRIZE DIET

Meat and potatoes are a good food
combination, and may be a better
diet than bread and meat, accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture. Potatoes at 81 a
bushel give more energy and good
mineral bases than bread at cents
a half-pound loaf.
Most persons like potatoes with
meat. and they furnish valuab BILE
starch: but 1t Is pointed out that
mere starch Is not all that is need
ed, and that the mineral content of
potatoes is of value in counter
acting the acid-forming substances
in meat. These acids are present
also in cereals, while vegetables,
fruit. and milk have an excess of
neutralizing alkalis. Therefore po-
tatoes are better with meats than
are rice, bread. and macaronL
