What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

The planetary aspects are fairly
good during the early. part of the day
and auspicious for completing the
task that you began the day before.
Later on the aspects go from doubt
full to adverse, until an influence ex-
lists which tend to create suspicion,
cause Misunderstanding and engen-
der doubt. Under these conditions
care and caution are necessary and
great salf-control must be exercised
in order to avoid disagreement and
futile arguments. Such an attitude
is especially essential in the home or
family circle, as, in the liberty of the
home, the temptation to say or do
those things that are better avoided
will be stronger than elsewhere.
A child born today will escape
nearly all infantile ailments, but will
probably be subject to illnesses dur
ing later childhood. These can be
successfully overcome by attention
and unfailing vigilance. On attain
ing maturity 1t will prove to have
good executive ability, vigor and per-
spicacity. 1t will be whole-souled,
spontaneous and optimistic. Culture

Natural Colors i'm Frocks and Hats
BY MARY MARSHALL.

We speak of natural colors" as II
they were something entirely new un-
der the sun, or at least as if the fad
for wearing them were a real novelty.
The fact seems to be that fashion has
frequently turned with approval to
fabrics and materials left in their
own natural tone.
Some years ago we wore crash"
linen, which was natural linen color,
and there hasn't been a time for 20
years or more when natural colored
pongee has not had it admirers. We
use the color term beige" glibly,
without perhaps realizing that it is
derived from the French ''beige"-the
word for linen before it is either
bleached or dyed. Interestingly
enough, white, which seems like the
absence of color, is not at all natural
to any fabrics. Though we think of
natural cotton as snowy white, un-
bleached cotton and muslin, as you
know, are of a yellowish, brownish
tone.
The dressmakers seem to have
brought forward these so-called nat
ural colors first. They are making
suits, frecks, wraps and ensemble
costumes of various weolen materials
in the natural tones, and these are
green or red.
When the milliners followed suit
they had the satisfaction of knowing
that this fad would apply very well
to their field, since felt, various
straws and fabrics used in millinery
possess such an interesting variety
of natural tones. Natural Colore
felt hats, usually trimmed with a
sharp bit of bright color, are already
very smart, and when Spring comes
there will be leshorns, peanuts, bang
koks and the new Italian and Swiss
body straws-all left in their own
characteristic natural color. a highly
surfaced satin in the natural color is
being used by many smart milliners
for turbans and other small shapes.
There has been a fad among many
smartly dressed women for Midwin-
ter hats of natural colored felt trim
med with brilliant artificial fuchsias

Astringent Lotions.

There are hundreds of thousands of
aStringent lotions on the market, at
least 700 of which any woman can
make up for herself. As almost every
skin needs an astringent perhaps a
list of few would be useful.
First of all, there is ice out of the
icebox. After the face has been wash
ed and rubbed we'll with cream, and
the surplus cream wiped off, roll a
little ice in an old bit of muslin and
rub this over and over the face. Used
without cream it might dry and chap
the skin; used this way it shrinks
large pores, tightens lax and sagglng
muscles, and is the ideal astringent.
1t brings blood up to the skin, too, and
livens a dead complexion.
The easiest astringent is a milky
emulsion made by adding tincture of
benzoin, drop by drop, to either plain
boiled water or to rose water until a
quite cloudy, milky fluid is obtained.
1t is very pretty astringent with its
slightly opalescent effect, and looks
well in fancy clear glass bottles on
the bathroom shelf. This can be pat
ted over the face after it has been
washed and dried and used once every
day.
Toilet water is astringent and so is

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. d.
Noted Physician and Author

A query that comes to me every
day concerns the question of eating
such things as potatoes, carrots, oat-
meal, cucumbers, turnips, onions,
wheat bran, unground wheat, rice,
cabbage, and the like. Not only is
1t harmless to indulge an appetite
or craving for such things, but il is
a healthful habit for children and
adults to eat some such raw food
every day In many cases the
hankerfng seems to be for laundry
starch-quite harmless, but not par
ticularly advisable as health habit;
1t would be well for one with that
craving to switch to some one of
the items 1 have just mentioned.
Laundry starch is just starch, car
bohydrate, perfectly good food, but
the very kind of food which most
of US take to excess.
1t seems somewhat beside the ques-
tion to discuss diet when we are
considering fat foot. I give these
details not as facts 0or I don't know
definitely whether they are facts),
but as my opinion merely. 1t would
be foolish to ina gine that fat foot
can be cured by correction of diet L
have suggested nothing like that But
from all / can learn about 1t, the
dietary deficiency / have pointed out
is in all likelihood a factor in the
causation of weak feet in young
persons.
What is the cause of uremic poison
ing? My doctors here either do not
know or will not tell me. 1t seems
to me that IL l knew the cause [
might prevent another attack.-MRS.
S. K. o.
Answer-If there is a specific poison
or cause responsible, We do not know
what 1t is, except that the condition
called uremia is brought about by
serious impairment of the function
of the kidney. Live according to the
rules your physicians lay down for

FauOrite Recipes of
Prominent Women
Canned Raspberries.
BY EDNA Nj. COLMAN.
MRS. HELEN b. MONTGOMERY,
Educator, Minister and Author

Without doubt Helen Barrett
Montgomery inherited her love for
religious work from her parents. her
father having been minister of the
Baptist Church. Upon completing
her course at Wellesley she taught
for a brief time in Rochester and
Philadelphia until this work was
terminated by her marriage to Will
liam A. Montgomery of Rochester,
n. Y. She was licensed to preach as
Baptist minister in 1892. She has
made a world tour Of investigation
of the conditions in non-Christian
countries, and has lectured on mis-
sions and citizenship extensively. In
her zeal for missions she has either
headed or taken a leading part in
every organized movement for their
advancement, being president of the
Woman's American Baptist Foreign
Missions Society since 1913, with
terms of shorter length on most of
the other boards directing this work.
Mrs. Montgomery has also given
valuable service to various patriotic
and civic movements with which she
has been affiliated, as in the D. A. r.
and Federation of Women's Clubs.
Next to foreign missions she de-
clares her hobby is housekeeping,
and she places good cooking as next
to Bible reading as character
builder. She has a recipe for can
ned raspberries that she says lis
simply delicious, looks good, tastes
good and smells good, and never
spoils If made according to the fol-
lowing directions:
Sort carefully, removing soft or
decayed berries. Place them in four
pint glass jars which have been thor
oughly sterilized. Have ready a
kettle of boiling water and a kettle
containing enough heavy sirup to
fill the four jars. Fill Jars with boil
ing water; after the fourth is filled
empty the first one by inverting it.
holding the glass top a little aside
so water can drip through it. Fill
instantly with boiling sirup and seal.
Do the same to each jar of berries
in turn. Do not attempt to do more
than four jars at time, as this
leaves just the amount of time need
ed for the sterilization by the boil
ing water These will keep perfect
ly and have the taste of fresh rasp-
berries.

Cranberry Sauce.

To many people the skins of cram
berries are distasteful, so the cook
strains the cranberries. Try cook
ing the cranberries this way: Pick
over very carefully two quarts of
the berries, put on with enough water
to cook slowly SO that the skins won't
burst, and simmer for As minutes.
Then add four cupfuls of sugar and
let it gently boil for another As min
utes. This will leave the skins whole
and yet so soft you will never taste
them. For variety you can add one
or two hard apples sliced, or some
raisins, first stewing them for an
hour; several thin slices of lemon
three cloves, and a small stick OF
cinnamon

steam should arise, for the articles
are not sufficiently damp for that. The
ironing is not to dry them, but to
press them smooth.
Silks Require Care.
Many colored silks run when steam
pressed. Striped silks may be ruined,
while if dry pressed they would look
as perfect as new. Pongee must be
absolutely dry when ironed or else

very charmingly If one uses the
colors of one of the lamp shades in

shades is sand -colored, with an old

might be old rose color lined with
sand. Thus both lamp shade and

A particularly striking effect may
be achieved by covering the center

Discussion Of Our Party's Immediate Tasks

also say that even Lenin sometimes
wrote pamphlets without directly adj
vocating the Communist Party. But
can we Gas yeti compare Lovestone
with Lenin? And whoever heard of
Lenin, who about all others taught
the principle of always keeping the
Communist Party in the forefront,
writing 371-page book, leaving all
mention of the Communist Party out
of it, and concentrating his whole ar
gument in a demand that the work
ing class work for party rival to the
Communist Party? No one, of course,
Then the argument is made that
Lovestone's book has been translated
in Russia. But what of that? That
lends no endorsement of his farmer
labor party deviations The Russians
are far from endorsing in toto all that
they translate and publish. This is
a matter of common knowledge. They
have translated Upton Sinclairs
books, the life Of Henry Ford, Tay-
lor's works, and many others far from
Communist in conclusions.
Lovestone and his minority follow
ers may squirm as they will. But his
book speaks for itself. 1t is clear

case of labor party opportunism. 1t
is an advocacy of the labor party, not
to the advantage of the Workers
Party, but at its expense; it puts for
ward the labor party, not merely as a
tactical maneuver, but as a substi-
tute for the Workers Party. Even
when labor party sentiment was
strong in the whole country, we, in
our reaching for the masses, commit
ted many opportunistic errors, of
which Lovestone's book is only one
glazing example. But now, when the
labor party movement has amalga-
mated itself with the LaFollette move
ment, the continuance of our labor
party policy, by causing still more
reckless efforts to get hold of the
masses, would lead us into a veritable
morass of opportunism. The health
of our party would be greatly en-
dangered. The discarding of the far
mer-labor party slogan, as the C. E..
C. thesis proposes, and the concen-
tration of our activities to the united
front policy as outlined by the Com
intern, offers the only way to build
the Workers Party into a mass Com

ed in the farmer-labor party, II not

jority on the other hand, proposes to
break the democratic pacifist illusions
of the masses by entering into united
fronts with them on the basis Of con-
crete issues and pressing needs. In
this way it will be able to assume
actual, everyday leadership over
them, it will be able to give their
struggles a political orientation and
thus expose the nature Of the capital
list state and its henchmen of the La
Toilette type. Only in this manner
can the Workers Party effectively
proceed to revolutionize the masses
and to develop class political action.
Erasing the LaFolIette Movement.
Having demonstrated to his own
satisfaction that the majority refuses
to fight the LaFollette movement.
Comrade Engdahl curiously enough
proceeds to show that the LaFollette
movement is no more. We are told
that it was merely an ephemeral cleo
ton phenomena and that It is already
vanishing into thin air, leaving the
precious farmerlabor party high and
dry, ready for us to salvage. AS con-
elusive evidence OF this there are cit
ed various instances of labor takers
and "effete politicians" who are for.
saking the LaFollette ranks. The
masses are pictured as burningly re-
sentful over this betrayal of their
hopes. Here they had their hearts
set on a party all for themselves
and the LaFollette gang has cheated
them out Of I'll Therefore, their IL
lusions are utterly destroyed, and
they are ready to follow the Work
ers Party in organizing class farm
er-labor party! This is a striking ex-
ample of the topsy-turvy thinking Of
the minority 1t does not occur to
them that the reason why the third
party movement is not being crystal
lized is because the mass sentiment
for it has lulled. II is the masses
themselves who are betraying the La
Toilette third party. Instead OF de-
manding the formation Of a class
farmer-labor party as the minority
pictures them, they are even indif
ferent to the formation Of third
party. But this does not at all imply
that the democratic, petty bourgeois
theology. which inevitably takes the
form OF the LaFollette movement has
been destroyed. II the comrades of
the minority do not see this we might
gently ask them for tangible manifest
atoms of the farmer-labor storm
which LaFollette's betrayal has &C.
casioned. We would like to see
few of these enraged workers who
are going to get even with LaFollette
by organizing a farmer-lahor party.
Perhaps some Of them may be peeved
enough to join the Workers Party.
