What Today Means to You
ny MARY BLAKE.
Cancer,

The aspects of today are quite pro-
pitious and favor concentrated effort
and decisive action. They are par
ticularly favorable for constructive
work from which immediate results
are not expected but which requires
lot of preliminary work and
thought before real execution gets
properly started. Excellent vibra-
tions bespeak success for any social
activities or domestic duties Of an ex-
ceptional character
A child born today will be abnor-
mally strong and healthy. 1t will es-
cape most of the ailments of infancy.
It's disposition is inclined to be rather
overbearing. and its character strong
outwardly, but weak internally. In
order to correct these defects, it must
be taught the advantages of self-con-
troll and sacrifice. so that it's physical
strength, although always ready for
defense, shall in attack be held in
check. Stern discipline must, if
necessary, be used, in order to develop
the childs natural characteristics
into assets and prevent their becom-
ing liabilities.
If today is your birthday, you are
irresponsible and lack a sense of
duty, which is the very crown of
character. Without it the individual

of adversely or temptation, whereas,
inspired by 1t. the weakest becomes
strong and full of courage Duty"
says Mrs. Jameson, is the cement
which binds the whole moral edifice
together: Without which, all power,
goodness, intellect, truth, happiness,
love itself, can have no permanence."
Duty is based upon a sense of JUS
tice-justice inspired by love, which
is the most perfect form of goodness.
Duty is not a sentiment, but prin-
ciple pervading the life.
The voice of conscience speaks in
duty done; conscience sets man upon
his feet, while his will holds him
upright. Only through the dominat-
ing influence of conscience can your
character be fully developed.
Youu conscience speaks loudly, but
your sense of duty is not strong. and,
therefore, it often speaks in vain.
Well known. persons born on this
date are: Thomas C. Platt, ex-
Senator; Edward Abbott, Congrega-
tional clergyman; Thomas Fell, presi-
dent of st. Johns College, Annapolis,
Md; Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president
of University of California; Franklin
knight Lane, ex-Secretary Of Interior.

Dafodil-Narcissus.
BY II. A. EMMONS.

The daffodils:
That come before the swallows dare,
and take
The winds of March with beauty
Shakespeare.
Of all flowers the daffodil is the flower
of the poets, Few are the poets who have
not at least mentioned it in their lines
Wordsworth's probably are the best
known. He saw:
"Ten thousand at a glance,
The waves beside them dance, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee."
Even Homer mentioned it as the flower
whose sweet scent caused all the broad
heavens above and all the earth to laugh
and the salt waves of the sea-"
But perhaps we all are poets when it
comes to the flower in it's many forms
and varieties. The fact is there are at
present around thousand different
varieties, developed by gardeners from
six original species, though there are
over 25 to 80 known species of the genus
trail Europe and the Mediterranean
region. eastward through Asia to China
and Japan. For more than 800 years
they have been known as cultivated
plants.
Gardeners have classified them into
three main groups, according to the
length of the cup or trumpet. The first
group includes the trumpet daffodils,
those with the cups equaling the side
segments in length. The second group
includes those with cups about half the
length of the side segment, the star
narcissi or chalice flowers. In the third
group, the true narcissi, the cup is very
short or consisting merely of a rim. This
group includes the pretty poets mar
cissus. also the paper white narcissus
and the Chinese sacred lily. so popular
for winter bloom. However, so many
hybrid varieties have been introduced
as somewhat to confuse this classical
tion.
The daffodil is popular flower.
To quote Harriet Keeler: "Qt has)
an exquisite grace, a kind of spir-
itual beauty. and aboe it's golden
and radiant head has gathered a halo
fro mthe ages. 1t has touched the

Dyspepsia-It Amt No Mo-

A quaint query turned up in the
mail the other day-just as silver
dollar occasionally turns up at the
bank. The silver dollar used to be,
well. not a rarity at any rate. Now
one has to go west of the Mississippi
to collect the cartwheels, and out
west one has to exercise the most
positive determination not to become
exhausted carrying around the
change from a $40 note.
When | made my first big mistake
and started in to practice medicine
on private patients-of course. I had
practiced thoroughly on hospital in
mates for a while first-dySpepsia
was a mighty handy diagnosis. Most
patients kinda liked it; they seemed
to consider dyspepsia distinction
other meaningless, if not entirely
harmless suggestions of that sort. So
] had a fine assortment of dyspepsia
cases under my neglect or maltreat-
ment. l practiced on them about
everything the romanticists of the
medical world recommended, from
diet to drugs. | distinguished several
varieties of dyspepsia, and had speci-
mems of each variety under my obSer
walton for a time. l even labelled
few of my most atrocious cases

chemist had just discovered that the
fermentation of sugars and starches
produce more or less gas" Well. /
am really ashamed to go on with this
confession and / have carefully
waited several years to make it-I
notice a doctor generally waits a rea-.
sonable time before making such con-
fessions-but this quaint query brings
it all back again. My correspondent
wishes to know what / would ad-
vise-he doesn't say advise or pre-
scribe, but suggest, that is his word

assures me, for three years. He lives
east of the Mississippi but far from
the Missouri. Nevertheless, I am 60
ing to be honest with him. | can
afford to tell the truth in a case like
this, because the correspondent is not
a patient of mine and / shall feel no
chagrin if he concludes to try another
doctor.

One of the most unexpected axsi-

Cooking on One Burner.

During the summer months, when
vacations are in order, and one is fire.
quently placed where only an oil
stove is available, or where cookery
for one is needed, it is handy to know
how to produce a really palatable and
filing meal over one burner.
A resourceful woman who found
herself faced with this necessity last
summer worked out number of one
burner dinners which she has per-
mitted me to hand on to you. She
happened to be alone in little shack
and so her meals are planned to
serve only one, but they can be null
