Fighting France

France has cut her bread ration onethird. Every once in a while
France cuts her bread ration. And She keeps on fighting as bravely
and as well. The home folks keep on working just the same. That's
Francei
When France cuts her bread ration she is cutting over onehaf
of her diet, for bread there is so per cent. of the meal.
But France cannot keep on doing this. France already is under
nourished. She could fight better and work harder ifs she was better
fed.
I'VE must do our utmost to see to it that the bread ration of
France is not cut down a single ounce more, " warns the u. S. Food
Administration. France must have bread If it takes our last ounce
of wheat to give tt her."
France must not starve. We must save wheat.
Any American who eats wheat now or until our crop is har-
vested takes that much bread out of the mouths of hungry fighters
and workers and little children "over there"

Newspaper Syndieate)
According to astrology this is a
lucky day, for Uranus. Venus and
Jupiter are all In benehc aspect. Sa-
turn is slightly adverse.
1t Ia 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 to foreshadow Dip
lomattc 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 counting 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 foretell deeds of superb
heroism by Americans, who will es-
tablish new records in warfare. In
ventions OF rare ingenuity will be In
troduced by the u. s. army, and one
of these will do much toward assur-
Ing a great victory.
Saturn continues In q place that
indicates q 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 q reali-
zation of war that will compel Amer
lean women to serve as seriously as
men. This in interpreted as a sign
of great promise.
Improvement OF business condi-
tions In many places inland in the
United States Is prssaged. but thrift
and saving will be enforced.

seers Is in regard to danger In brood

1t may be the painful duty of the HOhenzOnens and Hapsburgs
to inform their hungry subjects that Colt is not doing His bit for

Recent crop reports from Hungary, ROumania and Ukrania in
