Would it hurt in any way for a pro-

AnSWer--It is very wise to have
dental work done in the first months,
as ii saves the mother the suffering
which might be caused by toothache
later on. The dentist should consult
the mothers own doctor about the ad.

might demand the taking of gas or

What 7 Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
| variable, although clear and definite.
In the morning they are adverse. In
the afternoon they are actively fav-
orable. In the evening they again
revert to the adverse stage, but not
in so decided a degree as during the
early part of the day. The afternoon
from midday until sunset-can be
we'll consecrated to serious effort and
work. and the indications point to
ultimate success for anything, es-
pecially of a constructive nature, that
is initiated under such influences.
The balance OF the day should be
spent in customary work or pastimes.
obtain the greatest measure. of good
to establish poise and maintain
equilibrium.
Children born tomorrow will. dur
ing infancy, enjoy robust health, and
will give evidences of great vigor and
strength. They must be taught to
regulate their energies. as there is
an indication of possible accident
during the teens This can, pos
sibly. be avoided if they learn to
avoid taking chances and not to
overtax their physical forces. They
will have winsome and attractive dis
positions and their characters will be
easy to mold in the way that may
be desired. They will be initiative
rather than original, and will be
quick to learn. Their natural in
clinations will be for all that pertains
to "out-of-doors.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are not a very practical person, but
are more disposed to theorize than to
execute. 1t is quite difficult for you
to make up your mind, and, when any
decision is required, 1t Is customary
for you to consult others rather than
to trust to your own judgment. Your
tastes are along literary and artistic
lines, and, although versatile, you
are whimsical and very much a slave
of your moods. You are entertaining
and congenial, which is evidenced by
the regard in which you are held by
your friends. They, however, gen
orally seek you in their lighter mo-
meptS and do not often come to you
in their troubles or with their diff
ficulties. You are very sincere in
your affections, and, unfortunately
for your own peace of mind, super
sensitive. Your home is probably at
tractive and happy. as your we'll
grounded affection, and your guileless
nature will undoubtedly contribute to
such a result.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Joshua c. Stoddard, in
ventor; James Harlan, lawyer and
senator; Stephen p. Nash, lawyer;
Charles j. Paine, soldier and yachts
man; John w. Philip, naval officer;
August Hecksher, capitalist.

Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

gradually going back to normal diet
should help. Thereafter abstain from
foods which you know disagree. Also
bathing with baking soda in the water
and no soap should relieve the itching.
Use tepid water and about one table
spoonful of soda to a quart. During
the day If the rash is bothersome pat
ting the spots with a piece of absorb
ent cotton wet with water and soda
is helpful. The bumps will disappear
as soon as the system is cleared and
the attack of indigestion is over. If
the attack of hives is accompanied by
diarrhoea or vomiting it is best to call
the doctor.
A person who eats proper food and
therefore has good digestion seldom
pays the penalty of a case Of hives.
r. y. G.-DoeS cooking spinach
cause it to lose any of it's vitamins?
Ans.-Yes. Raw spinach contains
the three vitaminS A 3 G in great
degree. Cooking spinach contains A
and B. while canned spinach contains
only A in slightly less degree.
NJ. s. BIS cheese digeStible? Is it
good for children?
Ans.-Cheese is a valuable food be-
ing rich in protein and fat and in the
mineral salts calcium and phOspho-
rouS. 1t is concentrated food and
sometimes discomfort follows the eat
ing of cheese because too much was
taken. 1t was not we'll chewed or it
was eaten at the end of a meal al
ready sufficient. A normal adult
should find cheese a valuable addition
to the diet if used with intelligence.
But it is not good food for young
children.
n. n. B.-What causes f1ushes in
the face?
Ans.--This condition may be due to
poor circulation or high blood pres

doctor would be necessary to deter

abruptly. "As 1t happens. you have
more than your looks to recommend
you. When you first came to me
couldn't tell whether you would make
good or not. Everything was against
you. But you have made good. I'm
proud of YOU. Leila"
The two women looked deep into
each others eyes. and then Leila said.
softly, I'm glad
There was a silence. and then Mary
said. with an abrupt return to her
usual brisk efficiency:
You'd better go and see Mr.. Phelps
this morning. l said I thought had
some one who would do. He's OK
pecting you"
1t was with a very different feeling
in her heart from the one she had eX-
pcrienced when she had first been in
terviewed that Leila boarded a bus for
that region Of New York known as
Greenwich Village" Then she had
been frightened and Inundated. Now
she had a certain feeling of elation.
Mary Brandt's faith in her meant a
great deal. Mary never gave praise
where praise was not due, and the few
words she had said had filled Leila
with confidence. If Mary believed she
could make good as private secretary
for a well known author. then she
could. 1t remained only for Mr..
Phelps 70 engage her.
She found the house she wanted on
East Tenth street. It was wedGed in
between two large brOwnStone houses
and was painted bright red. The door
was white and had Il shining brass
knocker. There were window boxes,
and the windows themselves had lead
ed panes. AS Leila stood still a mo-
ment, looking up at the place. it came
to her suddenly that this was the kind
of a house she would love to live in.
1t looked like a house where people
were happy. There was nothing fash
ionable about it. but it had that rare
thing-simple charm. 1t made her
feel, even before she met him, that she
would be sure to like Emerson Phelps.
She ran up the steps lightly and
rang the hell. The door was opened
almost Immediately by a smiling faced
colored maid. who ushered her into a
sun-filled reception room and asked
her to wait.

Indigestion causes much bodily dis

the sins which can cover the poor

that the digestive system is not func-

CHAPTER IL.
A New Job.

One morning shortly after their talk
about the kingsleys, Mary sent for
Leila to come to her private office.
When Leila appeared, trim and eff
cient, in a dark blue dress with Irish
lace collar and cuffs, Mary looked her
up and down for a long moment.
Then she said abruptly:
"Are you ready for another f1ight"'
Leila looked puzzled. Another
hight?"
Yes. You want to try your wings,
don't you?'
You're going to send me away?'
IF it's for your own good, yes. i
had a telephone call yesterday from
Emerson Phelps. He wants a private
secretary with unusual qualities.
Fifty dollars a. week for the right per-
son and YOU would live at his home.
No menial position this time. You
would be treated like one of the fam
lily. Do you want the jOb?'
Leila smiled. You seem to have
settled the matter without any advice
from me. But do you really think /
am good enough?"
Mary snorted in a funny little way
that she had.
"You haven't had a chance to ac-
quire speed, but you won't need speed
in q position of this kind. You'll need
tact, patience and intelligence, and you
have those three qualities. You know
what a writer is, and you'll have to
be ready to take dictatiOn whenever
Phelps is in the mood to write, so
your hours won't be regular"
"It sounds terribly interesting y
Leila said. eagerly. I've always
longed to know what writer was
like. wonder If YOU realize what
you've done for me and how much |
appreciate it all. l feel as if I could
never thank you enough"
For a moment Mary's keen gray
eyes were soft as they rested on
Leilas face. She had grown very
fond of the girl--so fond that she
would miss her when she was gone.
But Leila was making good; she de-
served to be pushed ahead, and this
position would be splendid experience

What to Catalogue.
+ OF course. it would be foolish to
write down where all the things that
are in constant use are kept. You
know each day. You miss them If
they are not in their accustomed
places. 1t is the things that are used
in seasons, the pieces that match
clothing. the thousand and one little
odd things that are are so elusive
that need this care. I have found,
for instance, that keeping such a cat
alogue of articles in chests is invalu-
able. You can tell at a glance over
the catalogued contents of each, just
exactly what it holds. and can get any
article laid in any one of them in the
quickest time possible. Busy folk
need such catalogues of possessions.

makes the labor saving device more
bother than it is worth. The way
to get the best results is had by cata-
loguing things as they are being put

First, the closets and drawers can
have cards assigned to themselves in
the file or, in the second place, the
articles can be catalogued under
their names. The first is the easier
catalogue to use, the latter is the
easier to make.
1t is essential to have the file to
