What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Virgo.

Tomorrows planetary aspects are
just as adverse as those of today are
favorable. They indicate Sluggishness,
peSsimism and, perhaps, a general air
of indifference to the daily monotonous
obligations of duty. This lassitude
must be fought by the aid of concen-
tration and will power. 1t would, how
commitments, either financial or
moral. During such adverse inf1u-
ences it would be wise to refrain from
the execution of any contracts or
agreements. Much care must be ex-
ercised in all social relationships, as a
tendency will be felt toward disagree
ments and argumentativeness. This
looks like a black-letter day, but the
outcome all depends on individualism
and how much of q hold you have on
yourself.
A girl born tomorrow will, according
to the signs, enjoy particularly
healthful girlhood and promises, with
ordinary care, to materialize into per
feet womanhood. A boy, on the other
hand, will be subject to minor illnesses
during the infantile period, suffer a
rather serious ailment during adoles-
cence and only attain physical nor
malcy some considerable time after
reaching his majority. In character

ferring books to outdoor sports. They
will be introspective and thinkers,
never willing to accept unchallenged
the dictum of others. They will, in
their own way, derive from life and
radiate great deal of happiness.
l. If tomorrow is your birthday you are
largely a creature Of impulse, a vic
tim of emotion and slave to intui-
ton. You rarely, IL ever, take the time
to think of what you should either say
or do and are guided by your own mo-
mentary wishes, regardless of the de-
sires of others. You are never guided
by experience and so far as effects go
it never serves you as a teacher.
You are not communicative, in spite
Of your impulsive nature, and If you
suspect that any one is interested In
trying to get from you any informa-
ton you can be most battling.
You have great ambitions, but are
not very successful. You jump to con-
clusions too quickly. You are resource
full fond of your home and capable of
great and enduring love.

Fathers Turn.

For the first three years father has
little chance to help with the children.
He can play with them for a few
minutes, carry them to bed, tell them
n little story, toss a ball for a brief
minute, but there 1t ends. Mother
does most of the training when the
children are tiny.
But when they begin to walk, faith
er can do more and he ought to begin.
\ walk with father, even though it
be just down to the gate and back, is
something that counts. As the legs
grow stronger and the eager eyes and
ears more receptive, the walks are
heightened and the things to be seen
grow more complex and interesting.
Soon Saturday afternoon or Sunday
becomes fathers day, or fathers turn
at educating the children.
He takes them to the docks to see
the ships lying there and tells stories

They must know the animals by sight
and by name. They must see the
flowers growing and call them by
name. The big cities have wonderful
opportunities for fathers teaching.
There are the Saturday afternoon
concerts to which children ought to

Perhaps the revival of interest in

Pan wears an informal little felt hat
that is slashed a bit about the edges
But quite apart from the name Of
Peter Pan, slashed felt head coxeir-
ings have for some time been dear tS
the hearts of numerous small boys who
have beheld such ragged headgear on
the heads of some admired truck
driver or mechanic and have elonged
to wear something like ii. Now the
10-cent stores sell bits of black felt all
slashed through the middle and around
the edge for the benefit of the little
boys who want to wear them.
Doubtless the first slashed felt hat
attained its slashes through long wear
and was originally a perfectly intact
hat of felt. Like the original fringe
of fashion. ii is undoubtedly what
might be called a ragamuffin fashion
for the first fringe they tell US was
inspired by the frayed edges of q
coarse cloth garment
An old Indian guide of the Adiror.
dacks once wore such a slashed hat,
though he was not following the fash +
ion in so doing. OF his hat Charles
Dudley Warner said: "a limp, light
brown felt hat, frayed away at the top,
so that his yellowish hair grew out OF
it, like some nameless fern out of a
pot" Perhaps this will be the logical
outcome of the slashed hats that the
milliners are now showing.
In the sketch is a velour hat with
ribbon laced through the slashes in
the crown.

Edible Cups of Fruit or Vegetables
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| early fall they are without rival in
| their appeal.
These delicious containers for we'll
seasoned foods are of course made
of some fruit or vegetable usually
/ the latter from which the center has
! been removed and to which a light
or hearty salad mixture has been
added. You can easily imagine the
colorful possibilities of such a manner
of serving. The simplicity with which
| it can be accomplished is one of the
| assets much in it's favor.
Cucumber cups require no great
culinary knowledge to prepare and
may be said to be tasty" in the
| truest sense of the word. Large GU
! cumbers are best to use. In order
that the cups may be prettily notched
when complete, cut tiny, lengthwise
| N-shaped pieces from the peeled
surface. Then cut the cucumber
crosswise in pieces about Ia inches
| long and remove the center or
| heart" either before or after cutting.
| Dice them and mix with Russian
| dressing. Put the empty cups on
! lettuce leaves, two or three of them
| to a ~nrtion, and fill with the dressed
| hearts. Lay a nasturtium upon each
serving. These can be considered an
edible part of the dish, or merely as
a decoration.
Tomato Cups.
| Tomato cups are among the most
attractive. Skin a large tomato by
| holding it on a fork over flame
until the skin cracks and blisters and
can be removed easily. Chill tomato
on ice. Cut in half. Scoop out the
center. Mix it with mayonnaise or
| any preferred salad, chicken, Vege-
! table, celery, etc. Fill cup and serve
on cress. This makes a dish some
what more hearty than the cucumber
cup.
Tomato cups can be served as the
| main course to luncheon. Other
dishes to complete a menu in which
no cooking would be required may
here be suggested. as grapefruit, po-
tato chips and iced tea to be served
with 1t, and gelatin dessert with
sweet crackers to follow
Beets i'm Like Manner.
New beets are a welcome part of
the Summer table. Some which have
been left over from a previous meal
may be used for edible beet cups If
left whole. Cut a slice off the top of
the whole beet. Remove the center,
leaving cup about one-half to three
quarters inch thick. Fill with salad
made of diced sweet pepper, cucum-
Oci CdIIOlS, with mayOnnalSe.
Sprinkle the top lightly with grated
Parmesan cheese.
Tempting Fruit Dish.
Cold baked apples and cream are a
favorite dish with many. They may
be made company dessert" If served
as an edible cup. Scoop some of the
! center from the apple before cooking
/ Fill with berries, nuts and few
raisins for sweetening. Serve cold
with whipped cream into which mar
aschino cherries have been cut.

Liver for High Blood Pressure.

In the last two years various re
search students have reported strik-
ing results from the administration
high blood pressure which has been
produced artificially in the expert
mental animals. These studies have
| led TO the application of the princi-
| pie to the treatment Of apprehension
! in man, and if has now been fairly
we'll established that excessively high
blood pressure may be considerably
reduced by administering to the pa
tient injections of liver extract di
rectly into the veins. In some cases
the fall of blood pressure obtained
in this way persists for only two or
three hours. and then returns to the
high level before the next injection.
In other cases the fall produced by
an injection persists "a hours or
longer Several patients who had re-
ceived from TO 10 injections had
fall of blood pressure which per
sisted a week. Eight patients in a
group of 33 who were given the liver
extracts injections for high blood
pressure suffered reactions resembling
protein shock. such as certain senti-
tized individuals sometimes suffer
from injections of antitoXin or other
foreign protein material.
This liver extract treatment is
novel, but by no means a specific
or cure for thigh blood pressure.
for we must not lose sight of the
fact that excessive blood pressure is
not a disease in itself; ii is merely
one sign or feature observed by the
physician in various disease condi-
tions. In some cases it is the main
sign elected in an xamination-but
even though the doctor can determine
no other abnormality than the hyper
tension, it does not follow that high
blood pressure is what ails the pa
tient; often it is difficult for the best
Of doctors to determine what may
be responsible for persistent hyper
tension.
An officer in the Medical Corps in
forms me that he has found that
by eating liver once a day tand no
other meat, but anything and every
thing else he cared to eat, in three
weeks his blood pressure has fallen
from-well, never mind the techni-
cal details, but it has fallen 80 mllll-
meters Not only that. but he has
experienced a remarkable gain in his
general condition and what would
seem to be a cure of severe anemia.
He had suffered for two years with
a secondary anemia, with the red cor
puscles reduced to half their normal
quota and the hemoglobin (color1ng
matter) likewise reduced to half the
normal strength, together with an
excessive systolic and an abnormally
low diastolic blood pressure. He had
severe muscular pains, considerable
exhaustion on slight exertion and SO
on-common complaints in severe ane-
mia from any cause.
He was in a position to have the
best blood and cardiovascular spe-
cialists, and the advantage OF every
good form of treatment, such as blood
transfusions, diet, intravenous inJec-
tions of arsenic and iron preparations.
He declares that three weeks OF liver
eating has chased the muscular pains,

ton. improved his color and brought

| Music is such a gift.
Church service is part of child's
! education. 1 would not take him to
church until he was old enough to sit
| still and listen quietly. / somehow re
sent the idea of putting a little child
who is deaf to all about him In q
church pew and giving him a toy
to amuse him during the service
Either leave him in the church OF
leave him at home until he can
understand and control himself. And
then 1t is fathers proud privilege To
introduce him there. Perhaps If
father stops to remember the day he
marched down the aisle with this
ehild's mother on his arm he will be
somewhat surer Of his duty here.
You can't expect a child to go to
church and follow it's teaching if his
father Is somewhere else enjoying
himself better.
The fact that father works all week
does not excuse him from taking his
turn with the children at church serv-
ice or excursion or visit. as the time
and the occasion may indicate. Mother
works all week, too. She works all
week and all year and sometimes
| there is nothing to mark where the
day left off and the night and the
next morning began. Why should she
carry such a load alone?
The father loses a great deal when
he does not claim and use his turn.
His association with the children will
keep him young and fresh mentally
and inspire him in every other way.
They are a spur to tagging energy,
stimulant to tagging ambition. II
is a pity all around when children ca
say, I'VE never knew father much.
He never had much to do with US. II

Now Buster was so interested in his
day dreams that he quite forgot he
was standing in plain sight staring up
in that tree. Back came Chatterer.
and the first thing he saw was Bus
ter staring up In that tree. Chatterer
forgot he had a mushroom in his
mouth. He opened it to scold Bus

course, down fell the mushroom. Then
how his tongue fiewi He blamed Bus

didn't take him long to find that Bus

about through the tree tops, jumping
| from tree to tree, until finally he
| found one that suited him. He could
get to it from the trees where the
mushrooms were without ever going
down to the ground. He wasted no
time. He moved all those mushrooms.
He didn't leave one in that tree where
Buster Bear had found them.

the last mushroom in place. "If that

SUB ROSA
By MIMI.
The Inevitable Slump.

Some Of you seem to think that
achieving reasonable popularity is
like entering the Kingdom of Heaven
once you're 'in" you've got moth
ing to worry about, nothing to do
but sit tight and enjoy yourself.
Well. this is a fallacy The popu-
lar girl has her trials, too, only she
doesn't publish them to a listening
world-she's far too clever.
So you always remain under the
impression that her life is just a series
of phone calls and pleasant dates and
love letters and fraternity pins and
proms and proposals. When, as a
matter of fact, the popular girl is
often UP against it good and hard
So many of these bellies go along
from week to week, with invitations
purring, and proposals being offered
every five Enthusiastically confident
that there will always be enough
swains to stave off a dull season.
And then suddenly comes the
Slump-the dull days when there are
no phones calls-when the living room
remains empty every evening-when
the formerly ardent admirers are
seen out with other girls. but show
no sign of their former interest in the
poor deserted belle.
And she thinks the end of the
world has come. She decides that
her gay days are over-that she is
permanently on the shelf.
That is, she INDUCES in these foolish
fancies, unless she's old enough and
experienced enough to know that
these slumps occur in the most
successful careers.
If she's sophisticated and intelligent
about the matter, she merely bides
her time and waits-saying nothing
to the curious girl friends who would
give the world to know that she was
suffering from slight setback.
Once she admits defeat to her
intimate friends-and the news grad
ually becomes circulated that Miss So
and So is sliding back, not getting the
rush she used to-the boys will drop
off from sheer fright
Only by keeping silent and nretend-
ing to her friends that her absence
from dances and parties is due to her
own unwillingnesS to go out, will she
save her face-and eventually bring
back the boys again
Don't be discouraged and utterly
despairing when the first slump
comes. 1t doesn't mean that your
popularity is on the wane, necessarily.
The most popular girls in the world
have confided to me that there have
been weeks of anxious waiting for
them, during which no one called and
no invitations were Forthcoming.
When your slump comes along, just
make the best of it-and don't tell
your girl friends about It,
It's bound to pass away. and the
less 1t has been noticed the better for
your future success.
Just sit tight and wait for II to
blow over. That's the best way to
treat the inevitable slump

questions. Just enclose stamped, addressed
