So it will be with waists and hips, I'M

If you are getting stouter, wear some

What Tomorrow Means to You

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are

noon they are adverse and counsel
abstention from any fresh activities.
and advise plodding along the well
worn rut Of use and custom. In the
afternoon the aspects take on q IA
vorable character and hold out the
possibility. as well as proba bility, of
success in any work that denotes con-
structive effort, whether commercial,
mechanical. professional or domestic.
In the evening, the aspects cease to
be materially influential, but become
spiritually active. and this will. in it
self. induce an atmosphere Of restful
ness and peace. and also assure sue
cess to social or family entertainment
A boy born tomorrow will be very
healthy and promises to develop great
physical strength. Care should be
taken that. as a result Of this condi-
ton, 1t is not overtaxed. A girl born
tomorrow will be delicate and require
much care in her early years. She

young an age. In disposition, the boy
will be assertive and boisterous.
whereas the girl Will be meek and
door sports and recreations, whereas
the girl Will find her chief pleasure In
school duties and home cares. The
boy will be frank and open, whereas
the girl, none the less honest. will be
secretive and reserved.
If tomorrow is your birthday, your

Your disposition is not as sweet as
your friends would wish it to be. You

those you consider subordinate to

! trait. and, for your own sake, YOU
should restrain your frequent impulses
to hurt other peoples feelings The

You are never willing to forego the

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Complementary Feelings.

Mrs. J. ]. NJ. writes
my baby girl is four and one-h II
months old and weighs Il pounds. My
trouble is complementary feelings.
She was started at three months of
age on three and one-half ounces Of
milk. the same OF boiled water, one
tablespoon milk sugar, and one-haf
ounce lime water. l could not get her
to take a bottle. She always seemed
10 dislike the nipple. Last week
tried condensed milk but she made as
WY faces as if she We're taking sour
orange Juice. ! have tried letting her
go as long as six hours. She has
learned 10 start crying when she sees
the bottle. and VIII bite down on the
nipple. She has never taken 10 eX-
coed three and one half ounces from
it. I have tried all kinds Of nipples.
otherwise than her weight she is as
happy as u lark and VIII go three
hours quite contentedly with only a
breast feeding. | give her orange
juice diluted with the same amount of
water. She gains from two to four
ounces weekly. II YOU can suggest
any way of getting her to take nip
pie, or helping me. shall assure you
of my appreciation
Answer
The baby is not of an astounding
weight, that is true. but it seems that
her trouble is not SO much dislike OF
the nipple as dislike of being stuffed
with a formula for which she has no
appetite. II would seem better to
nurse her regularly once in three, or
once in four hours, and then give her
not TO exceed one or two ounces Of
your formula minus the lime water)
and feed it 10 her with q spoon. Let
her take what she wants to take. It
might even be wise to insist on the
four-hour schedule and by that time
she will be. more inclined to accept
the additional nourishment. which un.
doubtedly she does need, but not to
the extent to which you are forcing
il upon her

off TO one side he heard 4 faint tap.
TAP, tap. The cushions of his big
feet made no sound as Yowler turned

The noise ceased. Yowler waited,
his stub Of a tail twitching with
eagerness and excitement. There was
a CLEAN of hunger and fierceness In
his yellow eyes. Tap, tap, tap. The
sound was just q few feet away and.
Just as he had thought, IT was COM

Yowler moved forward until that tap
ping was directly under him. Tap,
tap, tap, it came directly beneath his
rose.

twitched faster. His yellow eyes fair

and then crouched with his eyes fixed
on the spot whence came that tap

ceased. Yowler waited just as long
as he could. Then he moved forward
and began TO claw at that snow.

that crust. 1t was then that Mrs.
Grouse heard the scratching sound
and knew that some one was trying
TO get at her.
But ice Is hard and Yowler didn't
try long to scratch a hole through
that crust. for he knew that he would
coon wear his claws down and that
wouldn't do at all. not at all. So
SITTER waiting around while he went
off He would look elsewhere for
something to cat.
But YoHler couldn't forget Mrs.
Grouse and the fact that she was
