Jupiter are all in benefc aspect.
Saturn is slightly adverse.
It Is a time to push all lines OF
business and to adjust trade condi-
tions. Vision Is supposed to be keen
er than usual under this sway.
Uranus seems 10 foreshadow dip
lomatic negotiations Of unusual mo-
ment and greatest secrecy. These
should be fortunate.
Again sentiment appears to be
strengthened by the sway Of the
stars and courting and marrying will
be more than ever prevalent among
persons Of all ages and all classes.
There is a planetary rule believed
to increase the psychic powers and
to give spiritual aspiration and real
ization.
The stars foretelI deeds Of superb

tablish new records in warfare. In
ventions Of rare ingenuity will oe

one Of these will do much toward
assuring a great victory.
Saturn continues in a place that
indicates a continued increase in the
number of deaths among men and
women of prominence as a fulfilling
OF the prophecy that the new era
will mark a passing OF old leaders
as well as old customs.
Venus is read as presaging a reali-

The other day the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children had
a man arrested for brutally beating
his little thirteen year old son. The
fathers excuse for his inhuman con-
duct was that the lad had stayed
away from home all night, and the
judge. before whom the case was
tried. dismissed the charge against
the man, saying as he did so:
you did perfectly right to thrash
the boy. II had a boy who stayed
away from home at night, / would
whip him more severely than you
whipped this child"
One can understand the father In
this case. He was simply a bully. a
brute and a coward who vented his
animal rage upon a helpless little
child too weak to strike back. II
needs no psychologist to read the
character of q child beater. The yell
low streak in him is so apparent that
a blind person can see It.
But one fails to understand a Judge
who approves OF child beating. Sure
ly no one in these days is stupid
enough to believe that a policy of
frightfulness makes either for sub
piled to children.
There Is something in cruelty that
turns what Is weak and yielding In
the human soul into chilled steel that
will not bend nor break. There is
something more potent than the smit-
ing hand. and that is the spirit of
rebellion and revenge that 1t strikes
into life and that never dies.
No human being has ever yet been
tortured into different way of think
ing. No criminal has ever been re-
formed by brutality. and no child has
er yet been scourged into becoming q
great and good man or woman.
In their hearts parents know this,
and they also know that when they
whip their children they are not do
ing their duty by them. as they hy-
pocritically pretend to themselves. but

the best time to accustom the family
to reduced rations on staples, wheat,
meat and sugar, and also a good time

eggs and milk and cheese-the pro-

summer.

breads or potatoes.
