HOROSCOPE.

c.
Although the Sun is in benefic as

as Uranus. Neptune and Saturn are
alb adverse.

panionship of persons of influence,
Visits to relatives are well directed,

this planetary rule great benefits may
accrue
Uranus today is in a place unfriend-
ly to orthodox faiths, and forecasts
religious troubles. The stars seem to
presage outbreaks of intolerance and
uncharitableness.
Neptune is held to encourage super
stitution and occultism during this
configuration, making for the spread
of many foreign cults and new move
ments for the betterment of humanity.
There appears to be danger of some
trouble over oil and new lines of pro-
duction that AFFECT mining interests
Agriculture is not well directed dur
ing this government of the stars, and
there may be heavy losses of live
stock.
Again the need of conserving food
will be great, owing to certain farm
ing conditions as well as to enormous
demand for aid from Europe where
foes as well as friends will need as
sistance, the seers declare.
On this day caution is recommended
to all who deal in the choicer kinds
OF merchandise.
Organizers, managers, secret serv.
ice employees, brokers and bankers
should delay making any plans as un-
der this direction of the stars the
judgment is not likely to be trust

The development of specialists in

NO WAR CRIPPLES.

This is the decision of the men who
run our army: No soldier injured in
the service OF his country shall be
turned loose upon the community un-
til he is restored to self-supporting
efficiency.
This means that Uncle Sam consid-
ers no wounded man. however severe
ly he is injured. hopeless until the
man himself gives up hope. Modern
medical science refuses to accept de-
feat, even in the face Of the severest
injuries. The government plans both
to keep the disabled man hopeful and
to see him through the fullest possi-
BILE care; to equip him with all the
/ special education needed, and finally
to help him to a job that he is able
to hold. Not till then is the RESPONSE
bility of the nation to slacken.
The work of reconstruction has al
ready begun. The Surgeon-General OF
the army has several thousands Of
our boys in his care in such model
Institutions as the Walter Reed Hospi-
tai in Washington, where there are
considerable caotas of soldiers from
''over there. who have been invalid

Illness. Here under the skillful appli-
cation OF modern educational princl-
Piles, wonders are being worked. Not
all the returned men have limbs mis-
sing. but many of them have, and
these men are the subject of special
care
From the time the so-called cripple
overseas begins to realize that he is
lying in a real bed, between sheets,
and that soft-voiced women are giving
him constant care. he is watched with
his future. as a useful citizen con-
stantly in view. His tastes, his in
clination and previous experience are
noted and various things are offered
him to find out at what he is likely
to be most apt. When he is ready
to make the sea trip home a trade or
profession is already drawing on the
horizon of his future, and II Is held
before him through the days of his
convalescence.
Soon his outdoor exercise and play
is punctuated with an hours work at
bench or desk. He is going to school
again. and new opportunities are be-
ginning to open to him. Life begins
to lose its grayness.
Perhaps he has lost his right arm
Before the war he was a mechanical
draughtsman. a bookkeeper or a typ
ist. Now he must learn his old work
over again, training his left hand to
take the burden. Or IL he was
mechanic or carpenter he must learn
the ingenious appliances that modern
science has substituted for the human
hand and that, as one of the boys at
Walter Reed said, can almost talk"
If he has been in some work that
needed the use of legs and feet and
these are gone, he must be started
on some congenial work that he can
do with his hands. while seated. II
he has lost his eyesight there are half
a dozen trades that Still will earn him
a living. and he must learn first to
read Braille.-Leslies.

ties. hotels and a plan of sanitation
and development that was laid out
by United States army engineers and
Is thoroughly modern. There Is a
hospital for American soldiers and
citizens.
The road from Baguio up the north
west coast OF Luzon, a distance of
Dos miles. is a scenic trip well worth
the effort. over the new Naguilian
road there are SO curves and but one
bridge in the whole stretch. The
Benguet road up TO Baguio has a
total of go bridges.
The Naguilian road follows the
crest of ridges and has the China Sea
