What TomorrowMeans to You
By MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects coun-
sci great caution and care, as the fndi-
cations point to excessive optimism. or
to misunderstanding and doubt. There
will be experienced a sense OF ability
to accomplish too much, or an entire
lack Of self-confidence and self-re-
lance. The one attitude Is just as
dangerous as the other. Anything that
is risky or speculative should be left
entirely alone. Your Judgment is
liable to be warped. and your usual
keenness of perception dulled. The
safe course is to pursue the even tenor
of your way, not allowing yourself to
be led astray by any miragical out
look. nor downcast by doubt or sus-
picion. The same conditions prevail
throughout the day.
A child born tomorrow will not pre-
sent that healthy aspect which is de-
sired. 1t will, apparently. be weak and
puny. Appearances, however, are
sometimes very deceptive, and, in this
case they will be most emphatically
so, as this child will possess great ply
sical resistance and latent force that
will see II successfully through all Its
troubles. Ii will be very studious,
possess remarkable powers Of concen-
tratfon and be animated at all times
by generous thoughts and kindly feel
qualities Of leadership will enable it to
shine both in business and social life.
Its personality will be dominating,
without being disagreeable or officious.
If tomorrow Is your birthday you,
by your sunny, cheerful disposition,
radiate happiness and dissipate gloom
wherever you may be. You never yield
to despair, and. even in misfortunes OF
trials that would overwhelm others,
you always see more saving features.
You refuse to be discouraged, and
never give up the good fight. With it
all your Judgment is invariably sound
and you have absolute control over
yourself and your feelings. You like
and seek comfort, and generally are
able to eliminate from your environ.
ment that which Is disagreeable or
unpleasant. Your friends are. of
course, lcgion-drawn to you by the
kindly spirit you exude-and they are
as loyal to you as you are to them
and many make you their confidant.
Your home life should be ideally
happy and you receive and give q
deep, constant love.

Nutrition NUGGETS.

Three Of the most important min.
eral salts, namely, sodium, potassium
and magnesium, are almost automati.
cally present in well-balanced diet
This means that we need not trouble
ourselves about them. The minerals
about which we must concern our
selves are lime, phosphorus and iron.
When the diet is deficient in lime
add milk, butter. celery, caulifower,
cheese, turnips, carrots, blackberries,
lemon and orange Juice.
When the diet shows q deficiency Of
iron add spinach, cabbage, string
beans. lean beef, egg yoIks, dried
beans, whole grain breads, grapes,
onions and dried beets.
, In order to insure phosphorus in the
diet eat spinach, fresh haddock, let
tuce. lean beef. asparagus, buttermilk,
fresh cod, celery, turnip, cabbage,
corn and onions.
When the physician tells you to eat
a purin free diet use white bread, eggs,
milk. potatoes, all the root vegetables,
fruits, nuts. rice fats oils and all
green vegetables except spinach and
asparagus

IF the garden be in the country

Conservation of Moisture.

"Our subject is very timely, Mr..
Burbank, after the recent drought,
which scorched gardens and orchards"
The subject is always timely, and
of Importance everywhere, from the
dry interior regions of the Pacific
coast to the Atlantic. where sometimes
the heavens withhold the rains and
gardens suffer.
hIrrigation has become almost fine
art on the Western coast, and has
developed greatly since the early Mis-.
sion period, when land was irrigated
without tillage, and the wealth in the
soil was undeveloped.
"Tillage and irrigation must always
go together. for, while tillage supple
ments and quite often replaces irri-
cation, vet irrigation without tillage
is of limited benefit.
When water is run over the sur
face of the garden without eultiva-
tien 1t does not penetrate as deeply
as rain, and, moreover, the ground
dries, hardens and cracks, letting the
moisture within escape rapidly. The
thirsty roots are drawn up to the sur
face in an attempt to reach the water
and soon form a matted mass near
the surface, and If not then irrigated
almost daily will be destroyed.
But when the ground. is cultivated
is necessary, for all the underground
moisture is retained by the dry
blanket of loose earth formed on the
surface through cultivation"
Gardens lie at the mercy Of wind
and weather" I remarked, 'and eter.
nal vigilance is necessary"
Yes, dry wind blowing over a
pIo.ged field, If the soil is not in the
right condition, will rob it of tons Of
water IN half day, and 1t takes 180
tons of water to make one ton of
hay.
but II narrowed and leveled the
loose surface from an earth mulch,
through which the hot air above can
not force its way, and the moistseEe
within cannot pass quickly through 1t
to the surface"
How Is the moisture drawn up to
the surface so readily?" I asked.
Mostly by capillary action; just as
oil comes up through lamp wick to
the flame at the upper edge, so does
moisture rise through the pores of
the ground, some OF 1t to be used by
the roots of the plants, some Of 1t
to pass through the cracks Of the
hard soil, to be carried on by the

About Foods.

Huck]eberries contain lime for bone

lating and even a trace of iron for
blood building, and they are decidedly

portant particular.
Matted cereals may frequently be
digested when other foods cannot,
and in any case they offer a delight
full variety to the morning breakfast
food.
There are numerous varieties of
snappy and other appetizing forms of
cheese which add considerably to the
food value of dish as we'll as to the
flavor. These highly favored cheeses
are not for the children.
Cucumbers are rich in iron, very
rich in phosphorus. and almost SO per
cent base forming. Any one who
needs to have his diet contain a large
proportion of foods that are the oppo-
site of acid forming should eat plenty
Of cucumbers. provided they do not
cause distress.
Summer meat, but it should not be
consumed in large quantities, and 1t
Is too rich for the average child.
Gluten bread offers vegetable
protein or body building material,
but vegetable proteins differ consid-
erably. Some are not complete, and
the diet, If 1t is to be entirely salts

what are known as complete proteins.
The average housewife need not be
troubled by this statement, for If
she serves her gluten bread at meal

the family dietary will be balanced.
