HOROSCOPE.
Friday. March 70, 1915.

Good and evil are in the balance
today. according to astrologers.
While Mercury. Uranus. and Mars
are adverse. Venus is in benefiC as
pect. Uranus changes late in the
day.
Under this sway uncertainty Is
caused in making decisions and de-
spondency may be common among
persons carrying heavy responsible
ties.
Newspapers will reflect a spirit
of pessimism that should be coun-
teracted and prevented wherever
possible.
Uranus is in a place supposed to
cause a gloomy view of the war. but
the influence of the stars need not
be permitted TO bring about nisgiv-
iinEs on public questions.
This is rule under which women

letters TO BREATHE
WIN-THE-WAR Spirit
Business Men Urged to Write with
Optimism Always.

See that a win-the-war spirit gets
into your business letters" is the
slogan of movement launched TODAY
by the Department Of Commerce to re-
mind business men that the every
day business letter is a most effective
instrument for creating confidence in
the governments war policies and for
inspiring others with the determina-
ton to see the war through at any
cost.
The idea was first brought for
ward in connection with American
business letters to foreign countries, -
said Secretary Redfield yesterday.
The volume Of our foreign business
mail is very large. 1t reaches firms
in all but the enemy countries. For
the most part it is read by those who
are for us, but you may be sure that
1t reaches many who doubt our suc-
cess and many who are at heart
against US. / am sure that evary
foreign business man who opens an
American letter is quick to detect
even the slightest indication of the
writer's feelings on the conduct of
the war and it's outcome.
1T is of the utmost Importance.
therefore, that the American business
letter breathe confidence in every line.
If the manufacturer or exporter feels
that he has just grievance against
restrictions imposed on his trade. by
all means let him go right to head
quarters and register as emphatic
complaint as he feels is justified. But
he certainly should not carry the
matter into his business letters. 1t
Is sure to create an entirely erron-
eous impression in some minds"
