What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow'S planetary aspects are
not very favorable. On the other hand,
they do not denote any very adverse
conditions. There will, apparently, be
sensed a feeling of lassitude, quite in
compatible with any energetic effort.
Under these conditions 1t would be
advisable to do as little as possible of
anything that amounts to n departure
from your usual work or customary
habits. You must. however. determine
to do your utmost along these lines,
and not yield to the impulse to post
pone. Indifference must be guarded
against either in business associations
or in the family and social circle.
Children born tomorrow are. accord
ing to the signs, destined to undergo
the usual ups and downs" that are
ordinarily peculiar to infancy. There
are very clear indications that they
will outgrow these infantile disabili-
ties and acquire, in later years. health
and vigOr. III temperament the boy
Will he very different from the girl.
The former will develop stubbornness
which. if not properly guided. may de-
generate into obStinacy. The early
trait of stubbornness, however. can be
converted into will power and strength
of character in after-life. He promises
to be both studious and ambitious,
although rather untidy in his habits.
The girl will be winSome, attractive
and rather frivolous. Unless she has
inculcated in her mind the blessings
of work she will never be useful, al
though probably ornamental. She
! must be taught that the doorstep to
| the temple of wisdom is a knowledge
! of her own ignorance"
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are literally endowed with intelligence
and ability. This is no information to
you, as you are well aware of the fact,
and never fail to impress it on others.
"Conceit may puff man up, but
never prop him up" A little more
success and more sincere admiration
from those whose opinion you value.
"Modesty is to merit what shade is to
figures i'll a picture; it gives it strength
and makes it stand out"
You are extremely careful about your
personal appearance, and very conven-
tional about your speech and actions.
This paraEonic state of mind repelS,
rather than invites. and you could
easily make hosts OF friends if you
would more frequently display more
human side to your character. Your
"standoffishness" does not make for
much happiness in the home.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Charles L. Tiffany, mer-
chant; Carter H. Harrison. ex-mayor of
Chicago; Elihu Root. lawyer and
statesman; Charles Il. Brush, civil en-
gineer: Charles p. Plunkett admiral
of United States Navy; John Barry

cream Is made by the same proc

for making candy cream centers.
Cane cream can be made of
widely varying consistency, but it
always has the same attractive
gmoothness. When made OF thin

strip, and Is used exactly like
strip on bread, hot cakes, waffles,
etc. Cane cream fits the taste

sandwiches and also makes an at

cream can also be used at soda
fountains as topping for sun
daes. A limited amount of cane
cream will be available this sea-
son through grocery stores.
