civilians to be so punctous about army and
officers are in the discharge of their ceremonial duties
but it would well all took better care of our
flags and displayed them more uniformly, in closer
harmony with established custom.
one of the careless practices deservedy criticised is

HOROSCOPE
Friday. April %. 1917.


Good predominates in the rule Of
the stars today. according TO as
trology. for Jupiter and Mercury
rule strongly for good, while Saturn
is adverse.
1t is a day deemed fortunate for
pushing all business interests. Enter
prises begun today should be un-
usually successful
Lawyers have a leading making
for big business. Honors viii come
to man from the south and an
other from the far west.
The stars foreshadow a period of
severe contest between old ideas and
new and in this contest men of con-
sentative views viii be overcome.
This does not mean. however. that
radicals will dominate thought in
the United States; they will simply
act as yeast in public sentiment"
the seers declare.
Mercury gives that greatest en-
enlargement TO all who write. This
is believed to mean prosperity for
publishers and editors. as we'll as the
rise Of a new school of authors.
Advertising continues under a
sway giving promise to the most
extraordinary conditions of pros
perity
Danger from underground sources
again is foreshadowed. This may
mean a mining disaster or a tunnel
accident.
The ending of the careers Of many
aged persons prominent in American
life is prophesied. The passing Of all
that is old will be first noticed in
the unusual number Of deaths at
the beginning Of the new era in his
tory.
A foreign astrologer prophesies
that persons of distinctly material
instincts and physical appetites will
cease TO be able 10 dominate their
fellow beings in any walk of life. as
spiritual forces are assuming control
of humanity
Congress is likely 20 have a long
extra session. according 70 the seers'

Persons whose birthdate il is have
the outlook Of a very successful and
happy year. Those who are employ

young will court or marry.
Children born on this day are
likely to be exceedingly quick and

have great persistence. They make
remarkably good public officials.

Eugene Noble Foss, three times
governor of Massachusetts, and one
Of the best known prohibition lead
ers in the United States, has written
the following special article for the
international News Service on pro-
hibition as it relates to the present
war crisis in the United states. He
has made a study of national pro-
hibitiOn il, this and other countries.
By Eugene Noble Foss
My special interest at this time
of national crisis is the promotion OF
war prohibition as a military eff
hciency measure The government
Is TO call out hundreds of thousands
OF young men. If these are TO give
the nation the maximum OF service
they must be protected from the
saloon. The modern war technique
on sea and land demands clear heads
and quick action This the federal
government understands. 1t has
suppressed the army canteen and
prohibits the sale of alcohol on its
ships and in its navy yards.
But our eastern cities, sodden
with drink, would nullify the wise
purposes of the national authOri-
ties Within a half mile of the
