Our AStrOIoSy

It really seems as if there were a whole lot of
grounds for the astrologers' faith in planetary
Influence upon human affairs At any rate, one has
to admit that there condolences of astroogic
theory and earthly conditions that interesting
Il not startling.
I'm the horoscope the planet Mars will dominate,
this year. We call Mars ''the god of war, and we
certainly will have a-plenty in 1918. But
there's another side, attribute of Mars that we
don't often consider-he is also the god of me-
chanical and other constructive enterprises Ger
tain it is that, should peace come there will follow
such construction, Reconstruction, the world
never before saw.
The astrologers kindly inform us that, next to
Mars, be he warrior or brickmason in 1913 the
Nominating influence will be Venus goddess of
love There will be remarkable advancement in
lRomen's interests, they predict. We believe it.
The women are already busy, all over the earth
and the only question is to how far they advance
Venus too is expected to exert her tender, sooth-
Ing penetrating influence to soften the warke dis
tjosifion of Mars, who we are informed, is to APP
Droach her cycle with some coyness but desire to
fofn in the more gentle affairs of life.
We're not educated in the astral sparkling of this
pair but here's hoping that they marry and settle
down in peace, if possible

Monument to ProSress

William Jones and Alexander Pantages were
apparently pleased individuals as they sat thru the
premier performance of the new Pantages theater
Monday evening.
And they entitled to great satisfaction,
for the shining playhouse and office building
is worthy of any city.
This project was inaugurated, not in the flush
and booming days of early 1918, but in the very
different long ago of 1916 when there army
camp on the city's outskirts, when the shipbuild-
ing industry only whisper in the wind, when
Tacoma business was stagnated
1t took nerve and foresight and faith on the part
Of Messrs. Jones and Pantages under these cir
cumstances to rip down six-story hotel and store
building, presumably paying fair rental, and re-
place it by costly modern class A structure. But
they did it, and it is well they did.
Tacoma congratulates them.

CORNS ON TOES
Tells women how to dry
up a corn so it lifts
out without pain.

Modern high-heeled footwear
buckles the toes and produces
corns, and many of the thousands
of hospital cases of infection and
lockjaw are the result of woman's
suicidal habit Of trying to cut
away these painful pests.
For little cost there can be OBJ
tanned at any pharmacy a quarter
of an ounce of drug called
Freezone, which is sufficient to
rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or callus without the
slightest danger or inconvenience.
A few drops applied directly
upon the tender, aching corn stops
the soreness and shortly the en-
tire corn, root and all, lifts right
out. II is sticky substance,
which dries the moment 1t is ap-
piled, and thousands Of men and
women use 1t because the corn
shrivels up and comes out with
out inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.
Cut this out and try 1t II your
corns bother you.
