Daily Horoscope
Saturday. December 8, 1917


Copyright, 1917, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
Good and evil contend this day, ac-
cording to the reading of the stars.
Mercury. Mars and Uranus are ad-
verse, while Jupiter and Neptune are
in benefic aspect.
1t is a fairly good rule for CONNER
cial transactions, especially II they
have to do with foodstuffs.
Under this sway immense fortunes
will be revealed as accumulating
through war conditions, and scandals
are foreshadowed.
While Neptune is in friendly aspect,
as today, foresight and far visions are
supposed to be impartial to morals.
1t is exceedingly favorable to diplo-
macy and craftsmanship.
Although the rule encourages keen
mentality, tho aspect of Mercury
gives warning against the signing of
agreements or contracts.
Mercury is in a place said to pre-
sage some trouble over publicity and
a national scandal
There is a sign promising that a
theatrical manager shall make fame
in some patriotic service.
The rise of a new national hero Is
prognosticated. He will serve his
Country LII ClNlt llIc, Dul Will boAii
fame through the war.
Canada seems to come under q
planetary government making for
public demonstrations enthusiasm
over civil reforms, and improvements
in commercial conditions.
Washington. ID. c., has a direction
of the stars that preSages many
changes, due to immense growth, and
warning Is given that 1t should be
protected and well guarded.
While explosions long prognosticat-
ed near New York and the national
capital have taken place, there is
still read danger inside these cities,
especially in public buildings and
subway5.
A sinister star appears to presage
perils for railways and those who
patronize them.
Persons whose birth date it is will
have a prosperous year If they exer-
else care. They may expect annoy
ance through writing or legal papers
Children born on this day are likely
to be successful in their undertakings
and to rise In life. Girls may marry
and find their husbands stern and diff
ficult to manage.
