What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Genini.

Until little after noon. adverse
aspects prevail and suggest the need
of ultra conservatism and excessive
caution. Thereafter, the vibrations
become very active, tending to as-
greseive efforts and enterprising ac-
tivity of a progressive nature. Be-
ware, however. of overenthusiasm
and extremes or excesses.
A child born today will be wiry
and strong, although not revealing
externally any marked signs Of it's
latent reserve force. 1t will not, If
allowed to follow its own desires, in
cline to a business career, but will
possibly achieve the best results
painting. Any talent, IL shown in
these directions, should be developed
to the utmost.
If today is your birthday, your dis
position is too much regulated by
rule and precept to be either very
cheerful or entertaining. Your char
acter Is a strong one, and any slight
deviation from what you conceive to
be your duty causes you much an
gufsh OF mind and bitter self-re-
proach. If you are not tolerant of
your own shortcomings, you are even
less liberal in your attitude toward
those who do not think as you do,
or act as you think they should. You
can never excuse yourself, nor find
excuses for others.
Your outlook on life is altogether
too narrow and prejudiced, and your
friends look upon you as undu1y self
righteous, and resent what they con.
si'~'r your "holier than thou" atti-
tuue toward them and life in gen.
era1.
In your home life 1t is very diff
cult for others to five up to your con-
ception of what their conduct should
be. Your unbending and severe dis
approval of anything and everything
that Is not in consonance with your
cree0 makes you feared and re-
speeted, but it does not inspire con-
hdence or love.
In your business you are known
as just, and whatever you. have done
has been built upon the structure of
absolute honesty and integrity. Be-
ever you have thought was right, this
has not made it necessarily right or
proper in other peoples eyes.
Life's code must have certain de-
gree of elasticity to be acceptable.
Justice is inexorable, and only when
allied to mercy is it divine.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Martin ]. SpauldinE,f Arch
bishop of Baltimore; Ambrose E.
Burnside, general in the civil war;
Henry M. Teller, lawyer and senator;
william r. Lusk, physician and edu-
Gator; George w. Marston. musician;
John F. Appleby, inventor; Douglas
Fairbanks. actor.

Of the elements which enter into the
chemistry of food.
Among the foods rich In starch are
wheat, corn, rice and barley cereals;
breads from wheat and whole grain
fours; sweet and white potatoes; !;
peas, beans and lentils; macaroni and
other Italian pastes; taoioca, sago
and chocolate.
Salt Is useful in bringing out the
flavor of various foods. For example
a mere pinch added to coffee gives cx
cellent results; a moderate quantity
of salt improves the flavor eff bread.
Many persons enjoy a fruit salad IL IL
is lightly saited and an insipid Gus
tard or pudding is improved by few
grains of salt Naturally great care
must be taken not to overdo the use
of this condiment.
Here are some nutritious hot foods
that may be carried in a small ther-
mos bottle when the school lunch
equipment provides no hot dish
Cocoa. cream of tomato. pea, carrot.
potato, lima bean and onion soup.
cereal coffee and clear clam or
chicken broth.

get an answer as soon as possible.
although realize you have others to
answer. Nevertheless hope you will
answer this as soon as you CAM. s.
These are the answers listed in
order just as the questions were
1. It Is better to drink hot water
rather than any fluid that is ex-
tremely hot. 1t is quite possible to
| irritate the lining Of the stomach by
taking anything of too high q tenn
perature unless. 1t is slipped very
either hot water or fruit juice at
least an hour before breakfast, other
wise you are apt to dilute the di-
gestive juices Of the stomach.
2. Coffee. If it is part hot; milk is
much better for you than strong cof-
fee, particularly as the milk itself
has food value even when drunk with
the coffee. Probably one egg is all
that you should eat at a time, unless
you are taking q great deal Of exer-

AS to the proper cooking of cereals
at home there are few very simple
principles. First, have water boiling;
second. allow q teaspoon of salt for

Nutrition NUGGETS.

In making custards use one whole
egg or two yolks to each cup of
liquid for a soft custard. a firm
custard which Will hold its shape
when nodded requires an egg and
one-half or three egg yolks to each
cup of milk.
The temperature for baking Gus
tard should be from $50 degrees to
200 degrees fahrenheit. To insure a
firm, uncurdled custard place the
cups or the pudding dish in a large
pan containing warm water before
putting in the oven.
Starchy foods are recognized as
furnishing one of the most necessary
elements for the body. Time was
when this food element was not ap-
preciated except as a source of heat
