WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU
Aquanus.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Aquarius.
The vibrations today are fairly
good, although of minor strength.
They accentuate mental and intui-
tive activity and are helpful for busi-
ness affairs. The afternoon and eve
ming are good only for serious
matters.
A child born today is apt to be
sickly until it reaches the age OF
twelve. after which it will be robust
and extremely impulsive.
Men and women born today are as
opposite as the poles. The men are
dynamically masculine and the women
intensely feminine.
The men. as rule, are determined,
aggressive and forceful: are great
lovers Of sports and violent exercises,
and make formidable fighters.
Intellectually their talents are Of
although moro versatile and better
rounded in general capability than
men born under other signs, they are
on the whole rather prone to carry
out their own plans through their
force of character than through cold,
hard reasoning.
But II today is your birthday you
should cultivate your faculty Of rea-
son and devote a little more time to
the analysis of your own thought.
You will frequently find your mind
closed and in need Of being opened
up and refllled.
The women born today are charm
ing, intuitive and affectionate, and
as they are extremely feminine, they
are naturally extremely flirtatious.
Loving any one person through sew
eral decades is far less necessary to
them than loving somebody 365 days
In the year.
II today Is your birthday you
should try more to concentrate your
affection on some one chosen man.
Love is a thing that cannot be syn
dicated.
Men and women Of this date are
thoroughly domestic and flourish only
under the institution Of marriage.
Well known persons born on this
date are Ole B: Bull. violinist; Ed
ward NJ. Gallaudet, educator: Dwight
L. Moody. evangelist: Leffert L. Buck,
civil engineer, and Hiram S. Maxim,
gun inventor.

BEAUTY CHATS
Red Noses.

Hundreds OF young girls write to
me every year asking remedy Tor
q red nose. This trouble may be due
to all sorts of things. but in the case
of the growing girl it almost always
indicates indigestion. Young girls
are too apt to indulge themselves
with candies and rich soda fountain
drinks, and much too apt to eat
between meals. Some form Of indi-
gestion is bound to arise ana II
takes the form OF vs0a the
are particularly small and the cir
culation at this point Is apt to be
sluggish. Thick, impure blood can
not circulate as freely as pure,
healthy blood; therefore 1t congests
and makes the nose hot, uncomforta-
BILE and an ugly red.
The cure, of course, Is always to diet,
to drink plenty OF water, which
flushes out the system. particularly
to take two glasses Of hot water be-
fore breakfast. An ointment which
has helped a great many people Is
made as follows: Powdered sulphur.
one dram; powdered starch, two and
one-half ounces; zinc oxide ointme mt.
one and one-half OUNCES; OIL OF geo e.
rubbed in thoroughly.
Tight corsets, tight shoes, tight
sleeves, all tend to cause a red nose
by impeding the circulation. but In
nine cases out Of ten it is simply due
to rich food or too much food, to
iced foods which chill the stomach,
or to food that is insufficiently
chewed. If. in spite Of diet, the
proper use of laxatives and this oint-
be a good thing to see a doctor. Tenn
porary relief can be had in even the
most severe case by massaging the

RACIAL oRlGIN-EngIish
SOURCE-A place name.

Here is a family name which is
likely to throw you off the track,
first, by it's final 'e," and, secondly,
by the element living"
It should be explained at the outset
that the final "e" does not belong in
the name, except as 1t has been sane
toned by long usage. for the original
termination was "ton," don" or
"tun," all forms of the same old An
glo-Saxon word which has given us
our modern word town." and which
in those days signified fortified
place. The evolution of meaning to
town" was a natural one, for the
towns of early days were. of course,
fortified. In fact, 1t was the necessity
for mutual defense which first drew
men together in towns and fortified
places.
The family name. therefore. belongs
in the class Of those which have been
based upon place names, indicating
the residence or former home of the
first bearers Of the name.
Livingstone, or Livingston, is
place in West Lothian, Scotland. The
original form of the place name was
'Livinguston" or 'Livingusdun," made
up of the ending already referred to
and the given name of the feudal
chieftain under whose leadership the
town was built. This chieftain, 'Liv-
ingus," lived about the year 1124.

understand at all. Sometimes it
sounded as if that great manbird was
being taken to pieces. Danny remem-
bered how he had seen the home of
Trader the Wood Rat torn to pieces
that very morning. and at times he
was sure that this was what was
happening to the great man-bird. But
he said nothing about it to Nanny.
1t would have been bad enough had
they had only themselves to think
about. But there were five tiny, help
less babies to think about. Yes, sir,
there were five tiny, helpless babies.
That was the secret in the great man
bird. That was why Nanny wouldn't
leave. This is why Danny himself
stayed. And, too, this is why Danny
and Nanny were more fearful than they
would have been had they been alone.
But despite their worries and fear
they were very. very happy. Yes, in
deed. they were very, very happy.
Those five tiny babies were the most
wonderful babies ever born into the
great world. At least that is what
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
thought. No one could make them
believe anything else. So they lis
tened to the strange noises and the
voices of the men and were fearful,
but at the same time they never for
an instant forgot their happiness.
Such Il day as that was! 1t seemed
to them that it would never end.

DRAW a name" whispered Cecile
to Betty Cut-out, holding out box
with slit In the top.
What for?" questioned Betty.
Inside are the names of all the
people who are coming to my valen-
tine party. You must draw one and
put valentine in my party mail box
from the one whose name you get"
Betty drew and giggled when she
saw the name.
You must make a valentine for the
box yourself" Cecile explained. 'It's
against the rules to buy one"
Betty Cut-out made her valentine
that very night. She colored this
Cupid postman with yellow hair, red
cheeks and Cupid-bow mouth, put a
red heart on his cap, then she cut him
out. She cut red heart four inches
across and a white heart six inches
wide. The white one was cut in seal
lops and the red one pasted on top,
with Cupid in the center.

GOOD TRADE NEWS
HELPS LIFT STOCKS
Easy Money Rates and High
er Earnings Prospects Are
Leading Factors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 16.-Heavy
selling for both accounts. apparently
based on the belief that many stocks
had been overbought in the recent
rapid advance. gave prices re-
dictionary appearance during the early
days of this week. This corrective
selling subsded on Thursday, when
the main upward trend was resumed
under the leadership of the industrial
shares.
Except for the omission of the
regular dividends on Atlantic Re-
fining and Standard Oil of Kansas,
trade news was largely favorable, al
though the Improvement in many in
dustries was slow. Easy money rates
and the promising outlook for higher
earnings this fall, together with the
possibility of stock dividends on some
of the high grade specialties. con-
tinued to furnish the main basis for
the advance.
All Eyes on Europe.
Foreign political developments were
closely watched, but had little inn
mediate stock market effect in the
opinion of many observers. There
seemed to be a disposition on the
part of traders in stocks and foreign
exchange to await the final action of
the London conference before at
tempting to discount its probable eff
fects. One of the interesting in
cidents of the week was the purcha sc
of large quantity of silver in the
American market for coinage pur-
poses by the German government fol-
lowing close upon similar purchase
by the Polish government.
Indications that the short interest
lrad been materially increased in the
last two weeks were seen in the rapid
ity with which the volatile issues ad
vanced upon the appearance of strong
buying support. Public participation
was relatively small, although a fair
volume of so-called "outside buying"
took place in the coppers. public utilf-
ties and select assortment of rails.
OIL Industry Unsettled.
sluggishness of the oil shares re-
f1ected the unsettled condition of the
industry. Special buying took place,
however, in the pan-American issues,
probably in expectation that the six
months earning statement soon to be
published would show a large margin
over the dividend requirements.
Railway Steel Spring, National Bis
cult, General Electric, National Lead,
Machine moved up rapidly on rumors
aogar ALSO showed signs of accumula-
tion.
Speculative interest in the railroad
group was confined to a few issues,
notably Frisco preferred. Southern
Railway. New York and Harlem, Rut-
land preferred and the ST. Paul issues.
