Wednesday. October 10, 1918.

This is a day in which to exercise
care in all important acts. Although
Venus is in benefic aspect. Jupiter.
the Sun, Mercury and Mars are all
adverse.
The stars seem to presage dis
aster for any undertaking and mis-
fortune for any person that seeks
to employ radical methods to oc-
complish any civil or social reform.
During this period when future
conditions depend upon harmony or
the uniting of all human forces,
whatever tends toward disorganiza-
tion or division will not succeed.
According to astrology the dawn
ing of the new era should draw to-
gether all influences for good, CO.
ordinating all classes of men into
a harmonious whole in which the
welfare of all is the common con-
cern.
This is a sway under which news
may be delayed or may be unsatis-
factory. The stars presage supreme
success for our armies, which will
meet obstacles that cause them to
perform MIRACULOUS feats.
Merchants should not start new
enterprises during this configura-
tion.
A college professor or president
may come into much public notice
this month. The stars that long
ago foretold national prominence
for distinguished educators indicate
that honors will come to many.
The rule of the planets read as
foreshadowing national recognition
for men prominent in universities
are read as also gi''ng promise that
teachers of every rank will attain
recognition and increase of finan-
cial reward.
This should be a lucky day for
theatrical ventures. 1t is favorable
for first appearances.
Fame for an actor who will win
glory in the war is foretold. Next
month should be a time when more
than one player will receive mill
itary decorations and public praise.
Persons whose birthdate II IS may
meet with many annoyances in the
coming year. They should be ex-
ceedingly careful in all their deal
ings.
Children born on this day are
likely to be gifted but rash and
restless. These subjects of Hbr,
are often too artistic to succeed, ex-
eept as employees.

be rubbed in over the parts until the

is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin. attracting the blood to the

Wife Wants to Be "Star"
ByD DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER.

Among my acquaintance is a pret-
ten by the moving picture craze, and
who imagines that she has only TO
get before the camera to back Mary
Pickford. Marguerite Clark and Theda
Bara off the film.
This young woman has a devoted
husband. two beautiful little chill
dren, a luxurious home. and all that
heart could wish except publicity, and
because her picture isn't plastered
up against billboards all the bless
ings that she has are so much Dead
Sea fruit to her.
Naturally enough, the husband op-
poses the young woman's plan to
forsake her home for the studio,
He thinks rightly that any married
woman can find plenty in the career
of wife and mother to occupy her
time and engage her energies, and
that the best place for her to star is
right by her own fireside.
But the wife turns a deaf ear to
his arguments and entreaties She
pines for fame. She hungers for
applause. She longs for wider
sphere in which to display her tai
ents. and because she can't have
them she is cross, peevish and dis.
contented and goes about with tina
air Of an early Christian martyr be /.
ing sacrificed on the altar of duty
And the husband is desperate AMI
wants to know what he shall do
about it.
Dear man, let her go and try IL.
There Is only one cure for the ca
reer craze and that is to give the
woman who is afflicted with it a dose

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC,

Spanish influenza, which appeared in
Spain in May. has all the appearance
Of grip or Ia grippe, which has swept
over the world in hume. .ous spidem.Us
as far back as history rLns Hippcc
rates refers to an epidemic In Az 3.
c.. which is regarded by many to have
been influenza Every cer'ury ra5
had its attacks. Beginning with 1881.
this country has had 1--WE epidemics,
the last in 1880.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
huenza itself has a very low percen-
tage Of fatalities-not over one death
out Of every four hundred cases, ac-
Cording to the y. c. Board Of Health
The chief danger lies in complications
arising. attacking principally patients
in a rundown condition-those who
don't go to bed soon enough, or those
VINO set up too early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe. or influenza as it is now
called. usually begins with a chill. fol-
lowed by aching. feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
q general feeling OF weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from 100
to l04, and the fever usually lasts from
three to five days. The germs attack
the mucous membrane or lining OF the
air passages-nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes-there is usually a hard
cough, especially bad at night, often
times a sore throat or tonsilitis. and
frequently all the appearancesYf a
severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first SYMPTOMS.
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to others
take n purgative, eat plenty OF nour-
ishing food. remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Quinine, aspirin or Do
ver's Powder. etc, nay be admins
tered by the physicians directions to
relieve the aching. But there is no
cure or specific for infuenza-the dis
ease must run its course. but Nature
will throw OF the attack IL only YOU
keep up your strength. The chief dan
ger lies in the complica tions which
may arise. Influenza so weakens the
bodily resistance that there is danger
OF pneumonia or bronchitis develop
ing, and sometimes Inflammation Of
the middle ear, or heart affections.
For these reasons, 1t is very important
that the patient remain In bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the fever
has left you, or IL you are over 30 or
not strong stay in bed four days or
more, according to the severity Of the
attack.
