tice further by encouraging tho mere

presence of sugar in the urine doesn't
necessarily mean diabetes, for ..ny OF
US can achieve a temporary glycos-

tainly advisable TO seek medical ad-

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU
Aquanus.
By MARY BLAkE.

AQuaI1uS.
Two aspects occur in the morning
which cause misjudgment and error.
The afternoon and evening are espe-
cially good. Much can be accomplished,
as the influences tend to stimulate ac-
tivity in business and social life. Heart
affairs will be favorably effected.
A child born today will be inlagi-
native and extremely successful in
financial affairs.
II .oday is your birthday your char
acter will be unusually susceptible to
the influence OF your friends AND asso-
ciates, and the numerous natural tall
ents you possess for leadership will
grow or wither according to the astral
powers Of your instructors and ad-
yisers. Indeed, you are intensely senSl-
tive to all zodiac forces and should re-
strict your dealings to those born under
your congenial signs: Aries. March Il
to April l9, and Sagittarius, November
22 to December 81.
Likewise you should dtstrust the
counsels Of people born under the sign
OF Leo, July 20 to August 90, for they
are your destined opponents.
You are forceful in matters Of irnme-
diate interest to yourself and constant
y in danger OF placing your own inter-
ests above those OF others in the same
however. because you will gladly share
the fruits OF victory with your competi-
tors.
With d receptive audience YOU have
a natural talent for acting and enter
tanning. but sufficient applause Will
frequently overstimulate your ambi-
tion. You have the ability to make
friends easily. but you are frequently
disappointed IN them, because your
choice Of companions IL not as keen
as your desire to have them. You
should cultivate occasional solitude
and spend moro time In the study
and analysis OF your own motives.
You should be very careful In select.
Ing a partner for life, as many will
seek your hand and few will be worthy
Of 1t.
