What Tomorrow Means to You
By MARY BLAKE.
Capricorn.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
just the reverse of those that prevail
today. They are distinctly adverse
and counsel inaction and absence of
effort. Only routine wcrk. or your
customary duties, should claim your
attention. Toward evening there is
a slight change for the better, espe-
cially in relation to the emotions that
will be felt. The troubles that have
assailed you during the day will sink
into comparative insignificance. and
you will then realize how foolish it is
to allow trifles to worry or upset
you.
Children born tomorrow are, ap-
parently, destined to be subjected to
many vicissitudes of a physical char
acter during infancy. Much care will
be needed, much patience will be re-
quired, but If the former be taken
and the later exercised. there Is no
reason why they should not attain a
healthy majority. Their disposition
will be peevish and complaining. This
attitude of theirs must be checked If
in later life they are to become
amenable and companionable members
Of the community. They will possess
high ambitions, and as they Will be
naturally perServering and persistent
the signs indicate success, provided
they are allowed to pursue that career
for which they express preference
Those who celebrate tomorrow the
anniversary of their birthday will be
gifted with imagination, possess poetic
temperament and love all that is
artistic. They will not be very prac-
tical, but will belong, in large meas
ure, to the visionary and dreamer
class. They will be diplomatic, tact
full, kind and affectionate. They will
not care much for the rough and
tumble Of life, but in the event of
dispute will always be seeking the
soft word that turneth away wrath
They will, of course, attain more than
those who fight aggressively for their
ends.
They will always be considerate of
others and always ready to lend a
helping hand to those who fall by the
Wayside.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Robert 4. Lee, Confederate
general; Nathaniel Hayward, inventor:
Thomas r. Pinchon, educator; Samuel
V. Essick, inventor; Rev. Josiah
Strong, author; David Starr Jordan,
eX-president Stanford University.

Clues to Character
Good Samaritan" Eve.
BY j. o. ABERNETHY.

Eyes that are very large and ex.
tremely blue, almost transparent
when observed in profile, indicate
ready and great capacity. They also
are generally eyes of sensibility.
easily excited and difficult to manage.
There are asking eyes, aggressive
eyes, dull eyes, flashing eyes and
e"es that can threaten, or, when
altered, can make the heart dance
with joy. There is power in the eye
to charm the wild beast. You can
tell by the look in mans eye
whether he is going to say something
kind or something harsh. You can
read happiness or you may read
despair in the eyes of your com
panions.
While there are many varieties OF
gray eyes, we will pass over the
shrewd, the spiteful, the cold and
the wild gray eyes. Every one has
seen them-too often perhaps. Then
there is the dark, almond shaped
gray eye, with long black lashes-
the Creole type.
The one we wish to call your atten.
ton to is the calm, clear, gray eye
that looks you kindly in the face,
views you quietly. but dispassionately
Passion rarely lights them, but love
takes the steady blaze of friendship
The calm, gray eye indicates that
it's owner is upright, conscientious,
Godfearing and always pitying his
fellow-men. 1t is the eye of the
Good Samaritan"

Why Arteries Harden.

In discussing the causes of arteri-
osclerosis I shall try to take them
in the order of their Importance, and
accordingly l mention first what l
consider the most important factor OF
arteriosclerosis, namely, suboxldaton.
Suboxidation means insufficient oxi-
dation. Oxidation must be clearly
distinguished from oxygenation; o1y-
Eenation means merely the supply OF
oxygen; oxidation means the chemical
process by which oxygen combines
with any substance, and other terms
for the same process are oxidizing
and combustion. All life is an oxida-
ton process, a slow combustion. In
man this process is technically called
metabolism. Human life consists in
the constant burning OF fuel Cfood)
and tissue substances, that is. combln-
ing oxygen with them, to produce the
energy necessary for the beating of
the heart, the action of the voluntary
muscles and the functioning of the
involuntary organs.
The free air contains ample oxygen
for all our needs, about one-f1fth of
the volume of the air being pure oxy-
gen Queer how so many of US suffer
from an oxygen shortage, in fact in
sidiously sicken and perhaps die many
years before our time. because we fail
to get enough oxygen. although we
swim in a sea of oxygen all the time.
Right here one must advert to the
silly, though popular. advice common
ly given by short cut healers and
health specialists who have little use
in their business for physiology. They
advise the sucker to practice deep
breathing" or they prescribe for him,
among other things plausible to his
half knowledge, deep breathing eXer-
cises. and the poor goof religiously
carries out the instructions, oh, far
more faithfully than he would obey
instructions by an honest physician,
kidding himself along the while with
the fancy that by such monkeyshines
he is deriving the advantage of more
oxygen for his system.
No matter whether ones breathing
be deep or shallow, for two minutes
or all day and night, the amount of
oxygen one absorbs is just so much,
and no little pastimes like deep breath
ing will alter the amount absorbed or
utilized in a day. AS an exercise
deep breathing is just as good in a
way and not so good in another way
as pulling ones Stomach" or more
correctly ones belly up and down or
time, and not nearly so good as doing
the Charleston or just walking about
for the same length of time. To be
sure, one can by an effort of attention
breathe more deeply and either more
slowly or more rapidly than normal
for few moments; but never fear,

When she was a little girl people
had called her Little Beauty" and as

being pretty, Beauty was SO sweet

Delicious Cookies.

When making a batch of plain
cookies, for a change add a quarter
of a pound of melted chocolate to the
batter after using half of it for plain
cookies, and in this way make TWO
kinds of cookies. Sometimes you can
cut both kinds out with Il heart cutter
or any other shape. and after they are
baked join them with a thin sugar
icing.

The Smallest Hunter.
This much to me Is very clear:
The world is chiefly ruled by fear.
Old Mother Nature.

Old Mother Nature is largely right.
Fear rules the actions of most of the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows, the Smiling Pool,
the Laughing Brook, the Old Orchard
and the Old Pasture. And fear is not
confined to the little people who wear
feathers and fur. The big people
often are quite as timid as the little
people, and human folk also are large
ly ruled by fear.
But some there are who have less
fear than others. Some there are even
Evening star., 1926-01-18

among the little people who have so
much confidence in themselves that
they waste no time worrying through
fear. Now the reason for all this fear
is that so many of the bigger people
are always hunting for the little peo-
pie. You see. most of the people who
wear fur, and many of those who wear
feathers, are hunters. There are a
few who are not-Prickly Porky,
Paddy the Beaver. Johnny Chuck
these are among those who do not
hunt others OF course, Lightfoot the
Deer is another. The biggest of the
hunters is Buster Bear. Buster doesn't t
waste much time hunting others, but
he has a fonduCsS for fresh meat when
he can get II easily. The smallest of
the hunters is Teeny Weeny the Com
mon Shrew.
If you should see Teeny Weeny for
the first time ] am sure you would
never think OF him as a hunter. Such
a tiny fellow as he is. He weighs only
about As grains, which Is only a lit
