What Today Means to You
Cancer.
ny MARY BLAKE.


Today's planetary aspects are
neither distinctly favorable nor un.
favorable. 1t would, therefore, be ad-
visable, while avoiding all risk ideals
or speculative business. to devote
your attention only to regular daily
duties of routine character. Great
care should be taken not to do any
thing that might jeojardize health
conditions and regular habits should
alone be indulged. Avoid all excesses
either mental or physical.
A child born today will enjoy nor
NAL health, although this result will
only be achieved by a proper system
of nutrition. 1t should be allowed as
much outdoor exercise as possible and
compelled to participate in sports, so
as to give it, what it otherwise will
not possess, courage when necessary
to take defeat, and becoming mod
eSty in the face of victory, If this
method of training be adopted, 1t will
have an agreeable disposition and an
even character.
If today is your birthday You cause
much unhappiness to your friends.
as you appear to have a grudge
with conditions that exist. Life will
always be, to a great extent, what
you yourself make il. The cheerful
man makes a cheerful world, the
gloomy man a gloomy one. You will
usually find your own temperament
reflected in the dispositions of those
about you. If you are yourself
ouerulous, you will md them so; if
you are unforgiving and uncharitable
to them, they will De the same to
you.
If you would be at peace with
others, and insure their respect, you
must have regard for their per-
sonality. Every person has Pc
culiarities of manner and character,
as well as peculiarities of form and
feature. You must have forbearance
in dealing with them, as you expect
them to have forbearance in dealing
with you. You may not be conscious
of your own peculiarities, vet they
exist nevertheless.
A person returning from an eve
ming party complained to a police
man that an ill-look1ng fellow was
following him. It turned out to be
only his shadow! Sucn usually is hu-
man life to each Of us. 1t is, for the
most part, but the reflection of our
selves.
Well known persons born on this

Softly Farmer Browns Boy whistied.
Carol the Meadow Lark turned his head

Farmer Browns Boy kept perfectly still.
After perhaps couple of minutes Carol
whistled. A moment later he spread his

he has heard us so many times that

Farmer Browns Boy was right. AL

Tracking Down Pennies.
Are YOU "penny wise"


. If so, YOU probably realize that
penny wisdom is not such a bad sort
of wisdom, after all. And the chances
are, you know, that 1t need not be
attained a. the expense Of pound
foolishness," either.
1t may be, though, that you are
not penny wise at all; in which case
you are just the average person of
whom it is said that ''the hardest part
III the dollar to Account for is the
.z.st cents.
: Perhaps the best way to eliminate
small leaks" is to pay as many bills
as possible, even those for small pur-
ehases, by check. The check is not
only a record of the petty cash which
you spend merely for personal ex-
penses and which you might other
wise forget. but 1t serves as a re-
ceipt. The check stubs are conven-
lent for jotting down the amount
and date Of the purchase, too-a prac-
tice quite easy to follow out as you
wait for your change pr for your
package.
Charge accounts are dubious ad- :
vantages for persons who are trying
to check up on their penny losses.
For the tendency Of one naturally
inclined to careless expenditures OF
small sums is to say Charge II,
please" and then promptly to forget
a charge account, save the slips on
which your purchases are noted, and
use them to help make up bookkeep-
ing records. :,
Perhaps, though, you object to all
such methods on the grounds that
they give you a haunting sense OF
playing hide-and-seek with the elu-
sive penny. In this case, your best
plan will probably be to decide on

behind the counter. was fascinating
to watch, in the light of hundreds of
brightly colored lanterns strung up
and down the curbs.
Just at dusk l happened to be
standing at a street corner when a
porter in smock and cap came up and
began lighting one of the gay paper
lanterns. To my surprise, instead of
reaching in and lighting the candle
inside the lantern. he touched his
match to piece of coarse cotton
string which was hanging from the
end lantern of a long row. He then
quietly walked away. With great in
terest and curiosity I watched that
string to see what happened, and so
chanced to discover one of the clever
schemes for which the French are
famous.
The tiny blaze ran up the string
quickly, disappeared over the metal
rim of the lantern-which miracu-
lously became lighted within-and
then dropped down, still blazing. only
to run up, to the next lantern and
block ran the little flame, lighting
each lantern in turn, automatically.
until it dropped from the last one and
quickly burned out The lanterns had
entire length of the block. and by
this ingenious device the entire row
was lighted from one end! l later
questioned one of the porters as to
how the string was arranged to pro-
duce this result and he told me that
it was merely looped once around
each candle-wick. and tied loosely to
the wire at each end of the row.
When one end of the string was un-
tied and lighted, the fame ran up to
the candle and the burning of the
loop was sufficient 20 light the wick.
The burning end of the string then
dropped down. ran up to the next
loop, and SO on. Why the paper Ian

worked like a charm, and l gazed in
admiration.

vide you with spending money" for
a week, and you do not have to check
the amounts you spend UP against
your bdget, or to worry where the
pennies go-that is, so long as you
do not exceed the amount you have
allowed yourself.
More important, however, than all
these mechanical means which make
for efficiency in penny matters. Is
your mental attitude toward the
small sum. If you consider penny,
nickel, a dime as negligible
amount. you can expect to have leaks
in your budget.
Remember that the most valuable
use of the accounts you keep is that
of checking up against a systematic
budget. That does not mean you
should Jet the balancing bogey"
haunt You into a continual chase
after the last penny; but merely that
your budget should act as a pattern
for spending, and that your accounts.
