Early End of War Seen

ing through this countU's ruling
sign, Gemini, for the next twelve
months there will be, in spite of the
war more activity and prospects
than this country has ever known.
After the war every European king
dom will be dependent on this coun-
try for almost everything connected
with the reconstruction, building up,
feeding, clothing and other items
conducive to European growth All
the present war countries will be
indebted to this country, and for
many years the liquidation Of these
debts will flood this country with I'M
cold millions. Whatever panicky
conditions arise they will be of a
temperate nature.
The passage of Mars through the
Cancer sign during September will be
a period OF activity. In September
Mars will be square Murcury during
the week of Monday, the 3rd, prob
ably some bad news connected with
transportation. Toward the end of
September and through October there
will be considerable activity, for
Mars and Saturn will bes trine the
Airy sign. November and December
will be months of activity, but with
some peace prospects in view. By
the advent of 1918 it is more than
probable that the military, political
and Warlike conditions of Germany
will have undergone some remarkable
changes. Other powers now neutral
will be on the side Of the allies.
Germany's internal conditions will
be more or less paralyZed and the
allies will have made considerable
advance toward the reclamation of
Be gium and northern France These
Ranges have been indicated by the
transit of Mars northWard toward the
SCorpio sign in the fourth house. In

The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids. to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's OInous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharm- acy here; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, sand has been used for generations to hush and stimulate sluggish kidneys also to neutralize the acids in urine. so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. ,-.
