HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY. AUG. -. 1917.

According TO astrology this is an
uncertain day. While Mercury and
Venus are in benefc aspect, Uranus
and the sun are strongly adverse.
Women should be fairly fortunate
today, but they should be cautious
in love affairs, for Uranus is in a
place encouraging to all forms of
deception.
This sinister rule is believed To
presage treachery in the United
states and a sensational spy episode
is foretold for next month.
Newspapers and magazines should
benefit greatly and it is prophesied
that they will develop new lines Of
activity. or enlarge their scope
Advertising is under good
sway. making for large contracts
and big benefits.

ture products for women should

Who own the Standard oil.
He rose up long before the lark
Announced the coming dawn,
And many hours after dark
Young wilkins labored on.
And soon he made the modest pile
on which his heart was set.
But he remarked, I'll work a while
won't start loafng yet"
The years went by, and still he bent
