January "A, 1871.

Astrologers read this as a fairly
fortunate day, for while the Sun and
Mercury are in benefic aspect during
business hours, Jupiter and Saturn
are adverse early in the morning
and late at night.
Advertising and publicity have
the most promising direction of the
stars today and will be especially
good for men and women who oc-
cupy positions in the Sun.
All who seek appointments from
the government should be lucky
while this configuration prevails.
There is a sign read as promising
protection from printed criticism
for men and women who initiate
public movements or assume official
positions.
The seers declare that the news
papers of the country will be kind
to members of Congress and State
legislators, during this rule which
seems to foreshadOw sensational in
Cidents.
The late hours will not be pro-
pitiOus for business. Banquets for
the discussion of important ques-
tions are not under the best plane
tary direction.
February is to be a month Of Sc
we're storms and there is likely to
be an unusual amount of suffering
from poverty.
Building comes under a sway that
seems to foreshadow great activity.
Americans will become more and
more inclined to invest in homes
and real estate, according to Lon
don astrologer;
Housing conditions again will oc-
cupy public attention and reforms
will be instituted in many cities,
notably those on the two coasts.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should not travel or make any inn
pOrtant changes in the coming year.
They may have many upusual ex-
periences. Those employed may be
promoted.
Children born on this day may be
restless and careless, but really
gifted. These subjects of Capricorn
succeed in artistic pursuits.

IIEALTH TIPS
II For Nation
BY U. 8. PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE

All systems of heating cause
some air movement Open win
dows, open doors and CRATE fires
also promote air movement. Air
movement is extremely important.
The most effective system of ven
tilation consists of opening win
dOws., Cross ventilation by means
of two windows, or a window and a
door in opposite sides of the room,
is particularly effective. Opening
.nough to cause a current is all
hat is required.
The extent to which windows are
o be opened in our sleeping apart
ments must depend on outside at
mospheric conditions.
Everyone should sleep in a room
with open windows. In this way
an ample supply of fresh air can
be secured for eight hours out of
tn" twenty-four at least.
A simple method of securing fresh
airf from a window is to raise the
window two or three inches and
place a neatly-httingL L-bOard under
| it.
This will prevent a direct draft
and permit of a free current of air
coming in between the upper and
lower sashes.
Another excellent method of VEN
tiiation is to place in an open win
dow an ordinary window screen
covered with cheesecloth. Two or
three lawers may be used. This ar
rangement breaks the wind and
keeps out the snow. The heat loss
is very little greater than the loss
| by radiation from the surface of a
pane glass.
If one depends son simply open
ing the window, from a half inch
to an inch may be sufficient on very
cold nights. If you hold your
hand opposite a half-inch opening,
you will find the current of air COM
ing in is much greater than that
which one or two persons could
possibly inhale and exhale con-
staDtly.
There is nothing gained by
throwing the window open to a
degree beyond that already sug-
gested, providing there is sufficient
difference in the temperature out
side and in.

Constance Stanley was always

see the complacent little smile on
Mrs Stanley's small mouth as she
assigned each guest his own par
ticular niche in her dinner party at

We've been wasting sympathy on

determined to hold on TO IL. No
wife will try bawling out her hus-
band unless she has a shrewd idea
that he will stand for II, while as
for Mysteries, and tears, and scenes,
they are merely weapons that she
uses to get her own way, and that
she abandons II she finds they don't

And women have the kind of hus-
bands they deserve. The reason that
women, as a sex, are more faithful
to their husbands than their hus-
bands are to them, is because men
won't stand for the kind of con-
duct in women that women endure
In men. Probably there are just
as many women with a rowing fancy
as there are men. Just as many
women are attracted by handsome
dashing young chaps, who do not
look in the least like their fat
Ibald-headed husbands, as there are
Uiddle-aged men whose eyes are
caught by some willowy chicken.
But the woman sIghs, and passes

band would raise ructions II she in

band takes the chicken out TO lunch

mans slate shall be as clean as
their own when they marry, and
that he keep il as clean afterward,
thereTl be something doing in the
single standard of morals. And un-
til they do, the philanderins hus-
band is just the sort Of a husband
they deserve.
There's the poor, meek, abused
woman who stays at home and
| washes. and cooks, and scrubs, and
| baby tends, while her husband
| sports around in glad attire and
| spends more money in one night on
| other women than she can pinch out
| Of the grocery bill in six months.
| Her husband never takes her out
anywhere, never makes her a pres
ent, or gives her a little treat. He
! never speaks to her except to find
! fault with her. She is nothing but
a servant. except that she gets no
wages and is treated as no one
would dare to treat a good cook in
| these days.
She's got exactly the sort of hus-
band she deserves, because when
you permit any one to make a door
mat of you. you must expect to be
walked on and kicked about, espe-
cially by your husband, for every
man accords to his wife exactly the

And the woman with a tight-wad

grit and determination to get her
fair share of the pleasures and per-
quisites and profits Of the matri-

Is there a vaccine to prevent in
fuenza?' I have had the disease in
1918 and am afraid of a recurrence.
Many have asked this question.
Up to the present time no vaccine
has been discovered for which we
can claim anything definite so far
as the prevention of epidemic in
huenza is concerned.
Until we discover the germ that
is responsible for the disease, we
cannot prepare a vaccine to ward
off attacks. But you may be glad
to know there is reason to believe
that a previous attack of influenza
apparently confers a certain degree
of Immunity to another attack.
Just how long this snmunity lasts
