Astrologers read this as a quiet
DAY. Mercury rules strongly for
good, while Saturn is friendly.
Agreements made by letter today
should be fortunate. A contract
for the new year signed under this
rule should be very lucky.
Messages of good import seem to
be presaged and these will indicate
a eturn to better conditions of liv-
ing for 1921.
Again writer's are subject to the
best possible direction of the stars
sSne and large earnings seem to
be indicated for all who are now
known, while the younger authors
will make great Roadway.
While real estate may not be so
active as it has been this day should
be an suspicious one for making
trades.
Farmers and all who gain their
tiyelihoods from the soil should i'm
prove this day by hard work.
Heavy storms are forecast for
this month which may bring suffer-
ing in many places.
Scientists are to make great
progress in the next few months.
New inventions will be introduced
and one of these will greatly aid in
business.
Schools and colleges have the
forecast of a period of supreme i'm
~portance, in which great progress
will be made in all lines of eco
uomic study.
Radical ideas are to spread rap
idly in this country during the next
few years, the seers prophesy, and
there will be a newly recognized
class of intellectually which will
become prominent in politics.

WITHOUT DINING ROOM.

Among old time country people the
reason for eating in the kitchen seldom
WAS that there was not enough room IN the
house for a separate dining-roOm. but that
many steps we're saved for the housewife
Il meals were eaten in the same room 10
which food was prepared and drhes
washed Nowadays many who 1--we IN
apartments and small houses are dis
pensing with the separate dining room
SIMPLY because with the present high cost
of building thev feel that they cannot
afford 10 devote q room exclusively 10 eat
ing meals But instead OF combining
kitchen and dining room the cleve- house
wife now combines dlning-room' and living
room.
4 good idea for the small family in.
ve~v small house is to have a really large
living room rather than a small living
room and small dining-Toom. All the
better II there is fairly secluded porch
a, the side or the back of the house where
lunches or suppers may be eaten IN warm
fair weather.
If YOU combine living room and dining
room Of course you must dispense with
conventional dining room furniture For the
the table q gate-leg or drop-leaf table
that can be folded between meals IS

might have four spindle chairs to match
that could be used SIS living room chars
between meal time. Your china and silver
has 10 ne kept in the kitchen or may be
placed in a cloest cupboard in the living
room because every housewife has her
own pecularities in this regard But it can
be done and it IS a very important thing
to do when your house~ork seems To be
too much for your strength.

SOME Pure FOOD OPINIONS
The Governments Views on Real Fruit
Jelly, Good MarmaIade and Arti-
'feiat Mineral Watera

Real fruit jelly must "jelr because
of the fruit juice in it and not because
gelatin has been added to 1t, accord
ing to a recent government opinion
under the Food and Drugs Act. This
ruling states that product thickened
by gelatin can not properly be labeled
as fruit jelly, but must indicate by its
name Its true character. The official
definition of jelly on which this opinion
is based is: "Jelly is the sound, semi
solid, gelatinous product made by boil.
ing clean, sound, properly matured and
prepared fresh fruit with water, con-
centrating the expressed and straine
juice, to which sugar (sucrose) is
added, and conforms in name to the
fruit in its preparation"
Marmalade is harder to define, and
government experts are now investi-
eating the subject with view to de-
termining proper standards for prod
| ucts Of this character. The proper.
tions originally laid down were As
pounds of fruit to 55 pounds of sugar.
1t was found impracticable, however,
to make satisfactory product that
would conform absolutely to this re-
quirement, and the question io being
studied further. In the meantime no
action will be taken by the government
against marmalade that Is made from
clean, properly matured and prepared
fresh fruit and sugar, even If the pro.
portions vary somewhat from the
standard already stated.
A third ruling insists upon a clear
statement of the fact on the label
whenever salts are added to a natural
water. The quantity of salts Iced not
be stated, but it must be made quite
| plain that the water has been artifi.
| cially treated.

Prince OF Wales Receives A Legal
Training Lasting Three Minutes.

LONDON.-One of the most rapid
and thoroughly condensed education
al careers on record ran its course
at the Middle Temple here when the
Prince of Wales was called to the
bar after legal training lasting APP
proximately three minutes. On the
motion of Lord Coleridge, seconded
by Lord Finley, the Prince was ad-
mitted student of the society and
signed the admission form. There
upon Lord Mersey moved and
Master Balfour Browne seconded.
"that his Royal Highness the Prince
OF Wales be called to the degree Of
the Utter Bar" and the Prince
signed the call book of the Inn, thus
becoming a barrister. Without loss
of time Mr.. Digby moved and Lord
Moulton seconded "that his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales be in
vited up to the bench" and this was
agreed to. Thus, remarks the chro-
nicler of the interesting scene, his
Royal Highness within ten minutes

A most efficient ration for growing
pigs on pasture would be one COM

gains might be secured by feeding a
greater variety Of feeds. But at pres
ent prices corn and tankage would al
most certainly produce the cheapest
gains.
