has been open and doing work for

For the past eleven rnonths-to be
exact with dates-since April 1, 1920

for Perth Amboy to have such heal

citizens will take first prize and four

cause the winners happen to pos

Hygiene has established.
To win a first prize the baby must

have been fed with mothers milk

HOROSCOPE
The stars inclin bu. DO not compel"
Thursday, March 81, 1921
Copyright, 1921, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)


This should be a fortunate day.
according to astrology. Uranus,
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury are all
in benefic aspect: the Sun alone be-
ing adverse in rule.
1t is a day in which both men and
women must depend upon them
selves for success. since 1t is most
unfavorable for any sort of support
or aid from persons in places in the
Sun.
Applicants for political positions
would better avoid all personal in
terviews while this confguration
prevails.
Uranus is in a place supposed to
make the mind keen, analytical and
active. Inventors should make the
most of this planetary government.
Women have the best possible
direction of the stars, making $or
good judgment, common sense and
effe we effort.
Dealers in clothing, millinery.
jewelry and ornamental articles 'ef
merchandise should profit by this
days trade.
The rule is an suspicious one for
all the arts. which should command
serious attention here in the United
States as never before.
Lawyers have the forecast of
much activity, for there will be
cases involving international ques-
tions that affect many industries in
this country.
Honors for a famous educator are
presaged by the stars. A mission
to Europe seems to be indicated for
a university president.
This should be an extraordinarily
favorable day for all lines of adver-
tising and personal publicity should
be especially productive of good re-
suits.
Revival or increase Of interest In
certain card games among men in
high place is foretold.
Persons whose bFthdate 1t Is
have the augury of year in which
they will meet with great success
and corresponding disappointment.
but they will prosper If they avoid
dependence on persons who are
superiors in any way.
Children born on this day proba-
bly, will have very happy and pros
porous lives. Girls are likely to
marry most fortunately.
