child these things you have taught
il the secret of popularity.
The art OF pleasing In its last analy-
sis consists of thinking more of ether
people than you do of yourself. That
is unselfshness, and IL. goes double
whether you play it 10 win your
heavenly crown or as policy to get
along In the world.
And you can teach this 10 children.
You can teach children not to talk
about themselves, or to brag Of their
own exploits, but to show some real
interest IN other people, and listen
to what they have to say about them
selves. You can teach them to respect
other peoples opinions, and not to
think that they have a right to die
tate TO others what religion they shah
believe in, what food they shall eat.
what views they shall hold i'm politics
and art. You can teach them to con-
slider the comfort and happiness, and
pleasure of others, and in this con-
sists the art of pleasing.
Nor need anyone fear that in teach
ing children these things that there
is any danger in making them into
cha racterless, rubber stamped sort of
individuals. Because you don't ram a
refusal down a mans throat but sugar
coat the pill you administer, does not
make it any less effective. Because
you don't get into a hot argument on
every subject does not alter your own
viewpoint. 1t merely saves friction.
The art of pleasing is the craven
flower on the swords blade, and II
does not make the blade less strong
or keen.

In every part OF the land there
are women who tell how, through
the application of Mothers Friend,
they entirely avoided the suffering
usually incident to motherhood,
They relate in no uncertain terms
how from its use the days were
made bright and cheerful and the
nights calm and restful, how the
crisis was passed without the usual
suffering experienced when nature
Is unaided. and how they preserved
their health and strength to devote
Il to the rearing OF their children
Ind to the things life holds for
hem.
Mothers Friend is a most pene-
trating remedy. prepared especially
for eXpectant mothers from a for
mula of a noted physician. Strain
upon the ligaments is avoided, and
instead of a period of discomfort
and constant dread it is a season of
calm repose. The hours at the
crisis are less, Sand Mothers Friend
enables the mother to retain her
natural grace, and her skin Is not
cracked and does not become hard
sr disfigured.

HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER I3, 1918.

This is a sinister and uncertain day.
according to astrology. Although the
Sun, Uranus and Venus are all in
benefic aspect, Mars, Saturn and
Uranus are adverse.
1t is particularly threatening for all
associations in which both men and
women are concerned. 1t Is not a
lucky time for business agreements.
There is a forbidding sign for seek
ing employment or advancement. 1t
is not time to bespeak the support
of any one of influence, for while
promises may be easily obtained, they
will be forgotten.
Army officers who desire the CO.
operation or advice of men in high
place should delay any negotiations
until a more favorable rule of the
stars.
Saturn gives warning of troubles IN
mines or accidents in excavations.
Again the evil star that is believed
to encourage deception or rreachery
is in a place of power. There may
be a nation that causes embarrass-
ment or unexpected complications.
Although with the waning year
there may be depression of spirits,
the seers declare that 1919 will bring
benefits even greater than have been
dreamed of by the most optimistic.
While this may not be lucky day
in business or love affairs it is sup
posed to be most promising for the
buying of gifts and the bestowal of
them. ...r
This is not a favorable wedding
day, but they who brave all super
stition will probably benefit from rel
atives who have wealth to will away.
One of the pleasant. forecasts prom
ises that many unexpected visitors
will be welcomed to their homes dur
ing the holidays.
Persons whoose birthdate It is have
the promise of successful year with
travel and change. New friends will
be many.
Children born on this day have the
promise of good fortune These SUBJ
tects of ,Sagittarius are usually good
