OUR study of the mans career
~ combined with his personal APP
pearance leads to the opinion that he
was born at about o'clock or half
past 8 in the morning, at which time
the noble, sincere and courtly Jupiter
was exactly at the meridian in the
Royal and synthetic sign, Leo. Scor-
pho was rising so tn It his personality
woul be dominated by that sign, ard
the planet, Mars, would therefore be
his chief signifcator or ruler.
The horoscope that we have calcu-
lated for General Wood is pre-emi-
nently favorable one for either a
surgeon or soldier, and he is both.
But there are certain elementary
dangers and weaknesses that we can
not go into and extended definition
Of, but which most unfortunately
were involved in a succession of very
adverse aspects during the period
embracing the years 1916 to 1921.
Of the effects of the most potent
of the evil influences that have af-
flicted General Wood in recent years,
one of our text books makes the fol
lowing statement:
This is one of the most unfortu-
nate aspects that can be experienced,
either causing the native to behave
with insane rashness, or overwhelm-
ing him with some great trouble from
an entirely unexpected quarter. In
any case, the feelings will be sub
jected to the utmost stress, and all
the self-control the native can COM
mand viii be required to prevent
some action which will lead TO his ut

ter ruin. 1t is a very dangerous as
pect, and can only be contended
against by the power of the spirit"
While the worst of the bad as
poets that have been so long conspir-
ing against General Woods security
and peace of mind have passed their
maximum and will henceforth decline,
he is not yet out of the woods, al
though during the early half of this
year he is receiving the very favor
able vibrations that result from the
sextile aspect of Venus to Saturn, the
effects of which will very decidedly
modify the asperity of his enemies
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-03-11

and re-establish him in the goodwill
confidence and respect of both friend;
and superiors.
The bounteous Jupiter is also tran
sitting through his lunar sign this
year, which accounts for his present
popularity and the desire of so many
to see him nominated for the pres
idency, but his progressed Moon is
passing through the house of sorrows,
limitations, and distractions, both this
year and next, and it is scarcely pos
slble that he can rise verv much above
his present station while this and
other adverse influences continue to
retard his progress.

much better. Whatever relief Is obtained is
usually temporary Trace biiiousHess to its
source and remove the cause and the chances
are that the patient will remain strong and

Doctors say that more than 20 non-organic
diseases can be traced to an AcSd-Stomach.
Biliousness is one of them, Indigestion, heart
bum, belchng. sour stomach, bloat and gas
are other signs of id-stomach. EATONlC,

cries which lead to long train of ailments
that make Life miserable If not corrected.

While he was thinking it over Raccy
remembered that MIR Fox had said
he had two fine birds, and that he would
give him one If that was true there must
be another plump bird in Mr.. Fox's

HE will eat the honey, and that

Raccv. "He won't cat that duck until

Raccv Coon put the duck back in
his bag and went out of the house, walking
down the path leading to Mr.. Fox $

He hid behind tree until Mr.. Fox's
house was all dark, and then he stole
across the path and went around to
the pantry window.

stepped inside, and right on the shelf
in plain sight was the other duck.

Mr.. Fox was sound asleep, dreaming
Of the honey and duck he was to cat

had bread and honey Then he went
to the pantry to get the duck and prepare
it for the oven.
