HOROSCOPE.
Monday. Aprtl D. 1917.

Evil seems to dominate in the rule OF
the stars today. Jupiter is strongly ad-
verse, while Neptune Is in place that
Is threatening.
There appears to be some new menace
to commerce from a nation more or less
dependent on the United States
1t is a most unlucky rule under which
to travel on the water anywhere. This
applies to the Great Lakes which are
likely to be menaced in some unusual
manner.
As occultists say that we are reaching
the final upheaval of all thought forms
which produce human action, extremes
of every sort are likely to be alarming
to thinkers during the next few months.
Neptune gives warning Of strange per-
versions OF mind among men and wo-
men. who will oppose national measures
Of great importance to the country.
Extravagance in the United States will
be curbed in some unexpected manner,
the seers predict.
Interest in all sorts of metaphysical
subjects will be a sign of the times dur
ing the next few years. the seers predict.
Canada has the promise of prosperity
and growth, but there will be heavy
drains on its resources. especially in
June, it Is prophesied.
Farmers should make the most Of the
aid of stars which will rule next week.
Good crops are prognosticated but some
sort Of q pest may be troublesome later.
According to astrologers the planetary
Influences now import to women new
energy. mental and physical, which is to
be utilized in noble service in new fields
OF sndeavor in the United States.
California has the forecast of events
that will stir It to some sort Of hasty
action. Patience should be cultivated by
the people.
The Southern States have a kindly star
to protect them for the next month
and they have the possibility of unusual
prosperity
Persons whose birthdate 1t Ii may be
threatened with sudden losses. They
shouId not speculate and should Be
diligent sn all business affairs.
Children born on this day may be in
clned IL extravagance. Both boys and
girls should be taught the value OF

The churches, however. found nothtng
to hinder the gorgeous religious celebfa-

houses Of worship. although II was note
worthy that attendance was FAR from

Along Pennsylvania avenue, hundreds
Of visitors paraded, looking in shop win

and wondering why they ever Ieft home.
Out In the Zoo there were some peo-
pie, but II wasn't any Easter crowd by
the width OF several cages. Old Benny

Action. He Declares.

Before an audience that completely
filled the building, Charles J. Ohren-
stein. C. B. s.. member of the Chris
tian Science Board OF Lectureship of
the Mother Church, Boston, delivered
lecture on Christian Science and the
Power OF the Mind" at Polls Theater

the mind and its relation to the actions
OF the body and in concise language
told his hearers that the slightest move
ment, whether involuntary or otherwise,
was brought about by a thought or the
will Of the person which dictated the
action
The speaker applied this line of thought
to the disposition of and inherent quail
ties that governed humanity, saving
that under the impulse of loving thoughts
the hand would do kind things, and under
contrary control would accomplish cruel
things.
In an appreciation of Mrs. Eddy and
the work she accomplished during her
life, Mr.. Ohrenstein described the simple
life she led in her home and the high
thoughts that Characterized her every
action.

HAD HER TEETH PULLED;
THEN GOT MAD WITH DENTIST

BERLIN, Jan. 24.-An unsual court
decision here has just had to do with
the complaint of a young woman who
disliked her own white bit tiny teeth,
and induced a dentist to pull the whole
% at once and substitute larger and
nore artistic teeth. She had scarcely
received the new ones before she rued
the experiment-an sued the dentist.
The evidence showed that five of the
% teeth were altogether sound. that
three had only small cavities, and
that three more had cavities easily fl
led. At least these eleven teeth should
rot have been pulled. Though the den
fist had protested as much to her orig
inally, she had insisted that they all
be extracted.
The court held that the dentist had
no right to submit blindly to the
wishes of patient, and that if the pa
tient insisted on an operation against
his or her health. the dentists duty was
to decline to perofrm it The DENTS;
accordingly was found guilty OF
breach of the law pertaining to good
manners"
