FRIDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1918.

Astrologers read this as an unfa-
vorable day. Jupiter and Mars rule
strongly for evil.
There is a sign interpreted as indi-
eating that stubborn fighting will
take place far from the center of
Europe, peace coming slowly in GER
tain places.
This configuration is favorable for
international affairs. Spiritual forces
will guide in many councils. the seers
declare.
Mars seems to foreshadow dangers
from enemies at home who may in
Gulge in criticisms and misjudgment
prejudicial to the best interests OF
the country.
Labor enters a period of progressive
development. in which great leaders
will arise among the young One of
these will be a woman, it is foretold.
Opposition to important reforms
may be manifested as one of the last
efforts of the forces of the past era
to gain control under the new order
established by the victory of right
and justice.
The new year is to be a time in
which men will realize many sacred
ideals. Returning soldiers will bring
back with them high standards Of
life, the seers declare, and women
must strive to live up to them.
Expenditures in hospitals and insti-
tutions will increase greatly, espe-
cially in the next six months, it is
prophesied.
Many odd customs from overseas
will be prevalent and Uranus gives
cause for the prediction that they will
mark the return to normal conditions
and will manifest the reaction from
long nervous strain.
Again the cult of the simple life
will be much preached and colonies
of many sorts will probably be start
ed, if the stars are read Alright.
Persons whose birthdate Is is have
the forecast of rather an anxious
time. Law and disputes should be
guarded against and it will be wise
to pass a quiet year.
Children born on this day may be
rash and impulsive. These subjects
of Sagittarius are likely to be ex-
travagant, quick-tempered and quar-
relsome.
