soldier sometimes has to cook his
own meals and that 1t Is a very use

roughing 1t in vacation camps. Quite
a few want to know how to cook the

HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, June 10, 1917.

Astrologers read this as rather a
fortunate day. Neptune, Jupiter, and
Saturn are all in benefic aspect, al
though their influence is not strong.
The New Moon OF this date is a par
tial eclipse of the Sun. Falling in the
third decan Of the sign of Gemini il
is supposed to presase the death of a
ruler or King. Mercury, ruler Of the
eclipse, is conJoined with Mars, an
evil omen OF legal and religious trou-
bles. libel. slander, fraud, and forgery.
Mars, ruler of the seventh house,
Is read as presaging violent warfare,
desecration Of churches, disasters at
sea. and many grave troubles. The
indications are good for agriculture.
even though more than one crop may
be damaged.
Many accidents in aviation are fore
shadowed. while hospital and public
institutions are likely TO be damaged
by fires and explosions.
The elimination Of Saturn in Ger
many is interpreted as of exceedingly
evil import, but as it is sextile to
Jupiter the Kaiser may have new al
lies.
The full Moon a month hence will
be even more threatening and the
oNNAo NSNloAO llldl on COdSI5,
battles at sea and disasters to ship
ping are strongly indicated.
This day should be favorable for
Journeys and for beginnings Of vaca-
tons.
1t is a most fortunate rule for per-
sons past middle life. and astrologers
promise that they will have new
chances IN business and public affairs.
Again increase in the number of
deaths among the old and those who
have held highest places in the coun-
try is predicted. Before universal
peace has been attained all who have
enjoyed the plaudits of the world will
have made way for the new genera

The rapid growth Of the true demo-
cratic spirit will manifest itself in an
extraordinary manner in the United

prophesied.
Persons whose birthdate II is may

Argentina Anxious
Over Trade of u. s.

Buenos Ayres, June 1S.-The partici-
patton Of the United States in the
European war is seriously hampering
Argentine interests, as well as United
States interests, in Argentina. The
reQuisition of steamers has begun to
cause genuine alarm among business
men here.
As commerce with Europe fell away
Argentine trade with the United
States proportionately increased. Now
all this traffic receives a serious blow
by the requisition of ships flying the
American flag.
1t appears certain that, II it has
not already done so secretly, the Ar
gentine government will in the near
future begin diplomatic conversations
at Washington, looking toward the
fulhllment of present contracts and
the obtaining of governmental per-
cial activities between United States
ports and Buenos Ayres.
