THE BOOK OF MARTHA
By JANE LORIMER

So Martha was free! Free-sooa
Ito take whatever joy Fate might
youchsafe her!
And Arthur Mansfield could ven-
ture to comfort her and guard her
the rest of her days. All this made
me rejoice but I didn't dare to dis
cuss with Martha that morning her
prospective liberty to love and be
loved.

and / knew Martha needed to con-
dde in me.
wholesome girl when she came to
do my fling" explained the fair
minded Martha. "She was a SIM
pie, industrious. decent girl until
Evan became interested in her. Now
/ can see the stages she descended
to her downfall. She used to dress
i'm good taste-like a little lady.
Soon she took to rouge and extreme
ly short skirts, and every hat she
put on was adorned with a pink
rose-Evan's own idea of niillin-
cry! l might have known. To tell
you the truth, l did suspect that
the girl had a sutton, but l didn't
mistrust Evan. Lately he has been
so devoted to me-like a sick child
in convalescence. It's-so hard to
grasp" Martha ended with a sob.
you're taking it too hard,
Marie, dear!" l said, and then I
wept with her.
Why did we girls cry together
over what was, l knew in my heart,
the best possible solution of Mar
tha's woes?
We wept, I fancy. because once
more true love was dead. Martha

fashion as to make them most ac-
ceptable. II one uses a hreless

not add to the cost of fuel. OF course
it does take time and care 10 make

tual money saved is more than
worth the effort.

HOROSCOPE
THE stars inclin but do not compel"
Sunday, March 20, 1921

Copyright, 1921, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
Astrologers read this as a most
unfortunate day. for Venus. Nep-
tune, the Sun and Mars are all in
malefic aspect.
1t is a most menacing rule and
m likely to cause intense mental
depression. For this reason a posi-
tive attitude of mind is enjoined.
Agitation of blue laws again will
occupy newspaper space, but the
seers declare that there will be a
national movement toward sane
amusements for Sunday.
Popular concerts that will attract
crowds are prognosticated as M of
the municipal enterprises most like
ly to be undertaken.
This is not a lucky rule for
women, who will be very unfortun-
ate in their love affairs today. espe-
cially wherever there is any uncer-
tainty.
1t is an unfortunate direction of
the stars for making visits, particu-
larly to those who are superiors or
who exercise any sort of authority
over the persons seeking them.
Mars is in a place that encourages
irritability. Men are likely to de-
sire to exert authority while this
sway prevails. 1t is unfayorable for
domestic happiness.
S~elf-control is enjoined for both
men and women. for the seers de-
clare that there is a dangerous
growth of e~motionalism and nerv-
BUSINESS.
The eclipse of the Sun next
month is said to presage imprison-
ment or sadness for a king. The
corruption of trees bearing fruit
also is indicated.
Increased taxation seems to be
forecast for Great Britain and this
may cause hard feeling toward an-
other nation.
The affliction of the Moon ruler
of the eleventh is bad for parlia-
ment.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should watch their business affairs.
The year should be fairly fortunate
for them.
Children born on this day may
be exceedingly lighthearted and
careless. They should be taught to
be provident and their talents
should be carefully developed.

How To Keep
Yourself Well

Cocoa Butter
Is cocoa butter good fill out the
face2 Should IL be rubbed in?
The cocoa butter merely serves
as a lubricant for the massaging
hand. 10 does not in any way
cry as a skin food. 1t is USUALLY
advisable to rub it out thoroughly
with a rag.
Head Lice
/ have been troubled for some
time with lice in the head. Is there
any thing that will help to get rid
of them?
To rid the head of lice it is i'm
portant not only to kill the para
sites themselves, but also to de-
stroy and remove the nits which
otherwise will hatch and reinfect
the scalp.
Moisten the hair and the scalp
with a mixture containing equal
parts of kerosene and olive oil
shaken together and allow this ap-
plication to remain about IL
hours. Wash the scalp with warm
water and soap TO remove all
traces of oil. After the hair has
been dried by brisk rubbing it
should be combed thoroughly with
a fine comb moistened in hot vine
gar : remove the nits.
Tuberculosis
If some one who had ~tuberculo-
sis slept in your bed. should YOU
wash your comforters before using
them, and how hot should the water
be?
The danger of contracting tuber-
culosis from this source is slight.
1t would, of course, be well to wash
the comforter. Wash it in the or
binary way, and subsequently iron
1t carefully.
