finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live

Each manufacturing operation must
, be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
:. must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,

take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into

hundreds of small ones.

HOROSCOPE.
TUESDAY, AUGUST s, 1914.


Copyright. 1873 by the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicste)
The early hours of this day are
threatening according to astroIogy,
for Mercury, Saturn and Uranus are
all adverse. Jupiter is in a strongly
benefic aspect.
Commercial enterprises of every
sort are under the best possible di-
rection. Again the seers declare
great opportunities lie southwark.
While trade will show a strong
trend toward South America, astrol-
ogers foresee a movement of popu-
lation northward and development
in Canada and British Columbia that
will attract many persons from the
United States.
Bankers and financiers OF every
class should make the most of this
days kindly sway Of Jupiter.
Gossip and scandal are again in
dicated in the reading OF the stars
Sweeping reforms. political and So
cial, will be advocated.
Fashions in women's dress will
be severely criticised in the coming
months and public opinion may en-
courage uniforms for business, since
girls will incur serious misjudg-
ment through the adoption of ex-
treme modes.
The stars, which are supposed to
encourage the stressing of the ma
terial or baser tendencies of human
nature. have influenced the theater,
society and all who cater to the
needs OF women, sstrologers be-
lieve.
Public attention again will be di-
rected TO the preparation as well
as the conservation of food.
Plots or intrigues that will affect
high officials in administrative po-
sitions again are foreshadowed.
The need of safeguarding the
mind from vagrant thought in
f1uences Is emphasized by occult
ists.~ who hold that many powerful
forces have been liberated by war.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have some problems in the coming
years, but they should avoid
changes. The health should receive
special attention.
Children born on this day are
likely to be generous and kind,
but these subjects of LEO often are
imaginative and inclined to worry
over trifles.

With all its baleful insinuation that
lady who couldn't was unfit for

But the reassuring reply that she"
could bake a cherry pie quick as a

plimentary than truthful. A really
good cherry pie is nothing to wink at!
First make a good crust-for upon
its delicacy depends much of the pies
charm. To make the crust sift l
quart of flour with l teaspoonful Of
baking powder. Take generous Ia
blespoonfuls OF good butter chilled
very hard and cold and cut or chop
into the -four. Wet the mixture with
enough ice water to make into a stir
dough, mixing with a wooden spoon.
Turn on a Toured board and roll out
thin. Have ready 2 tablespoonfuls Ul
cold butter and dot the paste with
bits of butter. Roll up the sheet Of
paste. beat with the rolling pin and
roll thin as before. Cut the paste into
2 pieces to fit the pans. Set the bot
tom crust in the pie plate loosely, let
ting the edge come a quarter of an
inch beyond the edge as il contracts
in baking. Fill the pie with fresh
stoned cherries and their juice and
cover with l scant cupful of sugar
mixed with l tablespoonful of -four.
Brush the edge of the lower crust
with ice water. adjust the top crust
and press the edges together, keep
ing both crusts free Of the pan.
Prick or cut the top crust in a few
places to permit the escape OF steam.
Bake the pie at least IS or 40 min
utes and serve hot or cold.

Beautifully Curly, Fluffy
Hair-In Three Hours!

Girls, have you fried the silmerine
method of curling your hair? It's
simply grand! Gives you the most
beautiful, natural-looking curls and
waves-makes the hair soft, fluffy
and glossy-and nothing harmful or
bothersome about it. The curls will
last the longest time-in spite Of heat
wind or dampness. You won't have
to be continually fixing and fussing
with your hair. It's foolish to SINCE
and blister and deaden your tresses
with a hot curling iron-and alto
gether unnecessary now.
Liquid silmerine is pleasant to use,
being neither sticky nor greasy. Get
a bottle from your druggist today,
follow the simple directions-the first
trial will make II your steadfast
friend. The wavy effect appear
within three hours after the applica
ton, though many prefer applying
the liquid just before retiring. You
will appreciate silmerine equally as

sun to dry, and in the course of two
or three hours It will be ready for use.
A little slycerine added to the rinsing
water entirely prevents the stiffness
and brittleness acquired by some hats
in drying, while a little ammonia in
the wash water materially assists in
the scrubbing process. 1t is well to
rinse a second time, adding the gly-
cerine to the water used the second
time. Immerse the hat completely
in the rinse water, moving it about
to get rid of traces of the dirty water
Use a Turkish bath towel for the
purpose, and let it rest on the towel
when drying. Massage the scars YOU

gently morning and evening, taking
care not to irritate the skin.

that there are no hard and gritty
places in it, then get a bucket of

mill or feed store. To use II. hold
your sponge fiat side up, and nut a
handful of bran on it; then quickly
turn against the wall, and rub the
wall gently and carefully with it.,
then repeat the operation. Spread
down drip cloth to catch the bran
but never use the same bran twice.

not seem practicable in your case,
