or a small tree, and it has queer, three
pointed leaves that look something like
an ol~d-fashioned mitten, with a place
for the thumb and one finger, And
sassafras roots are very good from
which to make tea for animals who are
i'll, or for boys and girls, sometimes.
So Uncle Wiggily, as he hoped along,
looked here and there for a bush, or
tree, with three-pointed leaves, and
soon he found one
Now I'll dig up some of the roots"
said the bunny, and take them home
for Nurse Jane"
So with his front paws, which are
just made for digging, Uncle Wiggily
began scraping away the dirt from the
sassafraS roots.
Uncle Wiggily had not been digging
very long and he had uncovered and
placed on the green moss in front Of
him some of the white roots of the sas-
safras tree, when, all Of a sudden, there
was a r%ustling in the bushes, and out
popped the bad old Pipsisewah.
Good morning, Uncle Wlggily," said
the Pipsisewah, but right away Uncle
'Wiggily thought it was going to be a
bad day for him.
You are up early. I see,' went on the
Pip, as he may be called for short.
We'll, l am glad to see that. 1t makes
1t so much easier for me. I shall not
have to hunt any farther for my
breakfast"
"oh, is your breakfast here?" asked
the bunny.
at ISL said the Pipslsewah, and he
looked straight at the bunny, What
have you there?" he asked Uncle Wig
gily.,
ooh, some s~assafras roots" was the
answer. 'They are good for the appe-
tite. Would you like to try one, Mr..
Pip, before you have breakfast"
II think l would" said the Pipsise-
wah. So Uncle Wiggily picked out a
very sharp, strong and biting sassafras
root. The Pipsisewah took one taste,
and then he cried:
Wow! OUGHT Oh, trolley cars! Talk
about appetite! Why you've given me
mustard, not sassafras' and away he
ran to find a spring Of Ice water to
cool his burning tongue and he didn't
get the bunny that time.
Il guest l forgot to tell him he ought
to boil the sassafras roots before eat
ing them said Uncle Wigglly with a
laugh, and he went on with his digging.
Then he took the roots home to Nurse
Jane, made some sassafras tea for her,
and the muskrat lady was soon all well
again, So everything came out all
right, and II our cats tail doesn't tickle
the goldfish and make it jump into the
parrots cage when he's singing the rag
doll to sleep I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and Old bod Percival.

III fortune broods over this day, ac-
cording to astrology, Jupiter, Venus,
Mercury and Mars are all In evil place.
During this aspect there should be
extraordinary care in avoiding any
thought that may be destructive or de-
pressing.
The sway is believed to encourage
pessimism and to breed discomfort. It
is under such a configuration that riots
and u%prislngs take place.
Merchants and those who risk CAPT.
tai in business investments shbuld pur-
sue conservative policies through this
month, which will bring incidents that
offer the grumblers a chance to find
fault.
Women should be cautious during this
rule of the planets, since they may be
unlucky in the use Of money. They
should beware Of speculation.
Mars has power this month to dis
turb the world with new phases of old
problems, for the planetary influences
that made the world war possible are
not quiescent. They will affect COM
merce and business.
1t Is not a favorable day for signing
contracts and especially unlucky for
any agreement involving theatrical
projects or entertainments.
Under this sway homesickness may
affect soldiers, who may be restless or
disconnected.
Behind all the clouds of uncertainty
and anxiety Is q great glory that will
appear when the perspective OF years
reveals the fact that there were giants
in these days, the seers declare.

posed to be the subject Of the plan

great honors and great anxieties.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of activity. but
changes will be unfortunate, They
should take no risks in business and
should be especially careful about sign
ing papers.
Children born on this day may be
inclined toward extravaganza, These
subjects of Aries usually like to have
their own way and are inclined to be
skeptical.

Astrologers read the direction Of the
.stArs today as especially favorable for
the activities Of churches and philan-
thropio institutions.
! Mercury and Neptune are In benefic
aspect, the sway making for receptivity
of spiritual influences.
It IL a fortunate rule for those who
read what they have written and so
should be helpful to the clergy, who
will discuss public questions and preach
morality with vehemence, owing to the
uncovering of scandals.
Neptune is in an aspect supposed to
give spiritual vision and for this reason
ministers should enjoy an access of
power as leaders. This vision will in
spire practical reform movements along
novel lines.
The stars give warning again of the
Importance Of cleanliness in homes and
cities. Danger OF an epidemic Is 1oIe-
seen. Special attention should be de-
voted to sanitation and health conserv-
ing projects.
Children may suffer much In the next
few months, fot the stars are inter-
preted as presaging the best and the
worst for them.
Hotels and all sorts of institutions
for community living come under q
sway making for prosperity.
The servant question comes much to
the fore at this time and 1t Is predicted
that science will begin to a charge
Of domestic affairs.
A strange fad from Europe VIII be
introduced and It will cause the clergy
and the press TO inveigh against the
women who adopt it.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have
the augury of a busy year that Will

Children born on this day are likely
to be endowed with quick, alert brains
and strong characters. They should bs

Gle Wiggily Longears. the bunny rabbit
gentleman, as he hoped out of bed in
his hollow stump bungalow one day.
Quickly dressing himself, the bunny
hoped down stairs to the breakfast
room, calling on his way:
What no, Nurse Jane! l am all ready
to eat!"
But there was no nice Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house
keeper in the kitchen getting breakfast.
Nor was she out in front of the bunga-
low, sweeping the porch or woodland
path as she sometimes did.
why, his Is queer" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. Nurse Jane not up yet? She
must be ILL.,"
So he called:
Whats the matter, Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy? Don't you want me to have
any breakfast this fine day."
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! I'm so sorry!'
came a voice from Nurse James room.
But I am so i'll with a headache that
car not get up and cook your break
fast. If you could only make me a
cup Of sassafras tea l might soon be
better"
~"Sassafras tea! OF course I'll make
you a cup!" cried the bunny gentleman,
you shall have two cups, If you need
them. Don't worry, ! can get my w
breakfast and make your s%assafras tea
also"
So Uncle Wiggily went to the cup
board, like Old Mother Hubbard. but
not to get a poor dog a bone. He was
looking for some ~sassafras roots that
ne might boil them and make tea for
Nurse Jane.
But there were no sassafras roots in
the whole hollow stump bungalow.
Nurse Janet" Uncle Wiggily called
upstairs, when he had gotten himself
a cup Of carrot coffee and a bit of
acorn bread, Nurse Jane, we are all
out Of sassafras roots for tea. I shall
have to hop out in the woods and dig
some. ] won't be long"
ooh, I'm sorry to give you so much
trouble" said the i'll muskrat lady
housekeeper.
"No trouble at ALL" laughed the jolly
bunny gentleman. Maybe I'll have an
adventure while digging the sassafras."
So off started Uncle Wiggily with
his red, white and blue striped rheu-
matism crutch that Nurse Jane had
gnawed for him out Of a cornstalk. And
he wore his tall silk hat as he hoped
over the fields and through the woods
toward the forest where the sassafras
grew.
s~assafras, you know. is a big bush,
