Certeis ~as a pioneer in inven-
lions of the kind. The evidence Of
his ucces was bounded by three
words on the paper in my hand:
"Jewels-cellar-fountain."
1t was a pity that such a genius
should be half-starved, half-frozen,
in a dirty prison in Russia. 1t was
a greater pity that such a brain
should be devoted to the cause of
restoring the rule of aristocrats in
Europe.
1 pulled myself together with a
little shudder. 1t was as il the very
paper Certeis had sent carried with
1t a faint of his hypnotic power, as
II / had, for an instant, fallen under
its spell!
Chrys must know the message Of

Soon 1 stood again in the room
with Chrys and Jordan Spence. The
girls eyes were wet. l could guess
why. Love would have its way with
a man like Spence. and I had not

LOSES FIVE SWEETHEARTS

a sweetheart in the World War;
Mrs. Julia Barnard lost ive-and
she is SIS.
She has just revealed the identity
of the five Swapping soldier boys
whose photos stand on her dresser
In the Old Folks Home.
During the war she read a notice
about lonely boys overseas who
wanted someone to write to them.
She addressed a letter to ''the lone
lest boy 1t was a youthful letter,
full of romance and imagination.
Five youths from Tower City, s..
D., all answered it. The exchange
continued, Mrs. Barnard writing
each a letter a week and knitting
warm sweaters for them all, and
the soldier boys telling her vivid
tales of the war.
Just before the armistice all nve
were killed.
1t was a blow to Mrs. Barnard
but on the same day she heard the
news she sent all the letters to the
mothers of the boys, asking only
their photographs in exchange.
That explains the row of pictures

HOROSCOPE
The stars inclin but DO not compel"
Friday, April 1, 1921
Copyright, 1921. by the Mcclure

Newspaper Syndicate)
Although Saturn is in benefc as
pect early in the morning of this
day, ~astrologers read the signs as
threatening. Uranus. Jupiter and
Mercury are all adverse.
1t is a rule under which to be
~quiescent in all new business ven
lures. While there is a good augury
for what is established. initiative
should be postponed in cases wen
most promising.
Labor is subject to fairly favora-
BILE forces making for increased de-
mands that indicate revival in many
lines of industry.
Uranus is in a place today said
to encourage criticism and close
analysis of human motives. Men
and women in important positions
may feel the keen thrusts of envy.
While business this month will be
most satisfactory. this may not be
a particularly profitable rule for
speculation.
Inventions are not we'll directed
by the stars today. but the coming
months are to be most favorable to
the introduction of new ideas.
Although Saturn today smiles on
real estate deals and gives promise
of gain through land ownership,
contracts should not be signed or
leases made until the CONFORMATION
changes.
Upheavals in newspaper Offices
seem to be indicated and transfers
of ownership of famous journals are
probable.
During this direction of the stars
an excess of nervousness affecting
the powers of concentration may be
noticed.
The death of a famous American
author is foreshadowed and a col
lege head will reach a sudden end
of a remarkable career
Evil stars seem to threaten Great
Britain, which has been under sim
lister astrological influences since the
war.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should be careful to avoid accidents
in the coming year. Business may
be rather slow. but, on the whole.
profitable.
Children born on this day may be
rather careless and reckless where
personal safety is concerned. These
subjects of Aries should be ambi-
tious and successful.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Toast crumbs require more car
In handling than plain dried bread
crumbs. The butter on the toast
makes It impossible to keep these
crumbs long but makes the crumbs
rich.
Use leftover toast from day to
day. Neat cubes OF toast add TO a
dish of stewed tomatoes. Half a
dozen cubes in a plate OF soup give
the soup body"
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast: Hash, irhubarb sauce,
graham mullins, coffee.
Luncheon: Ham and egg tartlets,
brown Betty, tea.
Dinner: Veal outlets, creamed po-
tatoes, carrots in lemon sauce, en-
dive salad, chocolate pudding, coffee.
Ny Own Recipes
The test of a really good cook is
in making hash. This homely old
dish requires a skill in making that
few cooks realize. There should
be equal parts Of meat and potato.
The meat should be absolutely free
OF any particle OF gristle.
Rhubarb Sauce
Peel of the outer skin Of the
rhubarb and cut in inch pieces.
Pour over boiling water to cover
and add u teaspoon of soda to one
bunch of rhubarb. Let stand Eve or
ten minutes and drain. Put in stew
pan with a little water and cook
until soft. Put sugar in a dish and
pour over the rhubarb, stirring I'M
til dissolved. The amount of sugar
depends on "taste." about q cup
Is the ordinary amount for one
bunch of rhubarb.
Brown Betty
Toast crumbs, sweetened apple
sauce, butter, cinnamon.
The apple sauce may be made of
dried apples stewed and sweetened.
Put a layer of sauce in the bottom
OF a buttered dish. Sprinkle with
cinnamon and dot with bits of but
ter. Add a layer of toast crumbs.
Add alternate layers OF apple cause
and crumbs, having the last layer
of crumbs when the dish Is filed.
Bake in a slow oven and eat hot
with hard sauce or sugar and cream
When made with buttered toast
crumbs serve sugar and cream, as
the pudding Is rich enough without
h addition of hard sauce. II made
with cracker or dry unbutterec
toast crumbs hard sauce is desirable.

How To Keep
Yourself Well
FreckIes

FreckIes
Q. Please explain the nature and
cause of freckles. Are they due to
faulty diet? Can they be taken of?
A. Freckles consist of an excess
sive deposit of pigment in the skin.
They are most frequently seen SYM
metrically distributed on those parts
of the body ordinarily exposed to
the light and heat of the sun, and
to atmospheric influences, such as
the face, the neck, and the backs of
the hands in persons of both sexes.
In some persons freckles may be
seen on parts not thus exposed. a
fact which indicates hal they are
not always the result of the agencies
noted above. 1t is probable that
there is always a congenital pre-
disposition to Observation-Disclosures,
such as freckles. that require GER
tain external conditions for develop
ment.
Freckles have been treated sue
cessfuliy with a rather stiff needle
connected with the negative pole of
a galvanic battery.
Most of the methods employed
by charlatans for the removal of
freckles depend for their success on
thoroughly blistering of the surface.
AN Z CRAaCA ms 10 4lCC
from blemish, the ultimate result is
a deeper and mor persistent pig
mentation than that which was
previously visible. So far as can be
ascertained, diet is not a factor in
the production of freckles.
Malnutrition
Q. Please tell me the best method
for putting on flesh. l am in good
health. excepting ! am tall and slim.
A. You should make sure that
You are not suffering from some
underlying condition which causes
You to be underweight. 1t is sug-
gested that you go to a good physi-
clan. and have him give you a thor
ough examination. If you will send
me your name and address, a
pamphlet entitled "Malnutrition'
will be mailed you. Although this
was prepared primarily for dealing
with malnutrition in children, it will
probably be of service also in your
case.
Q. What can I do to develop my
bust? ! am seventeen years old. five
feet two inches tall. weigh lit
pounds, and have fiat chest.
A. 1t is suggested that you live an
outdoor life as much as possible, in
dulge in physical exercise, such as
tennis. eat plenty of good wholesome
food. Including milk. butter and
other fats. Massage Of the breasts,
using olive oil as a lubricant, may
also be of service.
