Clues to Character
Memory Location.
BY j. O. ABERNETHY,

IT is understood that no two persons
are exactly alike in size, form. dlsposl'
ton or character. Some individuals
of ordinary mentality find It. quite
simple to calculate rapidly, While
others. with much keener minds, nave
trouble adding the very simplest sum.
Once YOU have learned the funda-
mentals of character reading you Will
find no difficulty in distinguishing the
man who has an uncanny memory.
A large brain, with all else equal, 1ndl-
Gates power. This rule Is accepted by
all authorities, ancient and modern.
Where the memory of events is
weak it can be strengthened by slowly,
carefully and thoroughly committing
to memory by constant repetition or
by reading attentively such selections
as may be desired
Memory is not wisdom, and large
memory merely does not of itself make
any one wise; 1t is sometimes the com
pensation which nature makes for a
lack of original thought. The best
intellect does not always possess the
greatest memory.
One may possess large verbal mem
ory and very little memory OF ioca'
ton. Another may have intense love
for and memory of color and not of
location. Some have strong memory
for places and events. Memory OF
events is large in editors, descriptive
writer's, statesmen and politicians.
The faculty of memory is located
part way between the ceenter and on
each side of the forehead about an
inch above the eyebrows. When large
it gives breadth to that part of the
forehead

One of the fool notions Is that a per-
son with any manifestation OF cardio-
vascular disease-heart muscle fail

Bright's disease-shouldn't eat meat.
Akin to this popular obsession is one
which turns up several times daily in
my correspondence with readers--the
fancy that albumin in the urine comes
from eating albuminous foods such as
lean meat or white of eggs. or from
eating too much of such foods. There
Is no ground for these notions. Il food
is a factor of cardioYascular disease or
any of it's manifestations in heart,
arteries or kidneys, or If overeating is
at all to blame for these troubles,
there is more reason to place the
blame on the arbohydrates-foods
consisting mainly of starch OF sugar
for nearly all oyereating is a matter
of gorging on carbohydrates.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are
distinctly favorable, although at about
noon there is a brief spell of infiu-
ences that are untoward. This period,
however, will not last long enough to
affect in any serious manner the pleas
ing and encouraging atmosphere that
will prevail 1t is not so much an
occasion for any initial work of con-
structive effort as it is for changes
involving betterment of conditions. 1t
is an opportunity for deliberate refiec-
ton, and the signs indicate that there
will be present clear vision and COM
nonsense judgment. Wisdom will
be more apparent than courage. The
vibrations that dominate promise sue
cess and happiness for all marriages
SolemniZed.
Children born tomorrow will enjoy
during infancy fairly good health, al
though more than ordinary care
should be devoted to the nature and
method of their alimentation. They
are liable to suffer from anemic con.
ditions during their youth, but, given
proper care, there is nothing 10 pre-
vent their attaining normal adult
hood They will be rather reserved in
disposition. and will very early in life
show ability to keep their own coun-
sci. They will be loyal and sincere.
Their consciences will guide them in
all their actions, and in addition they
will possess a very keen sense of jus
tice. Affection and kindness will do
for these children what discipline
could never accomplish.
If tomorrow is your birthday ami
versary, you have very little sense of
proportion and quickly lose your self
control over tribes. You are excep-
tionally emotional and allow yourself
to be swayed by your feelings rather
than by your better Judgment. You are
intense at all times and become en-
phatic over things that mean little to
you and still less TO your friends. You
are extreme in your views, and show
very little patience with those who do
not subscribe Fundamentally to your
opinions These. unfortunately, are
too often founded on conditions as
they should be rather than on reali-
ties that exist.
Your disposition is kind and sympa-
thetic, and you are both loving and
lovable You are exceptionally fond
of children.
You are combative and very per-
sistent in maintaining your position.
You are not actful, but very down
right. on the whole, however you
are well liked.

Heart Disease.

Chronic myocarditis is impairment
of the efficiency of the heart muscle
from degenerative changes in the
muscle tissue This term, myocarditis,
means literally inflammation of the
heart muscle, but IT is not what the
iayman ordinarily understands as in
fiammation 1t is rather degeneration
the muscle cells or fbers are gradu-
ally broken down and replaced by
f1brous or scar tissue, which. of course,
can do no work. This process consti-
tutes slow heart muscle failure.
With a desire TO warn folks, not to
scare EN-, / would say here at the
take-off that when a heart is in any
way embarrassed by gas pressure"
that heart is sick. And this being a
dark, lowering day, I'll add this: In
every case of acute indigestion"
somebody is being deceived. Often it
is just the newspaper readers; some
times II Ia the patient: occasionally IT
is just the doctor. But acute in
digestion" simply doesn't happen in
reality. In good many cases in which
acute indigestion" conceals the facts,
the trouble is myocarditiS.
For years before the chronic myo-
carditis patient comes under medical
care there are definite signs of heart
impairment which the victim DELHI
erately elects to ignore. or perhaps he
ascribes his condition to his age, or
to overwork or nervous exhaustion or
indigestion or high blood pressure.
People who are not quite so well as
they should be indulge too freely in
this purblind practice of self-soothing,
giving their ailments pleasant but
meaningless names and trying" this
and that method of treatment which
purports to be good for just such
vague troubles.
At present dietary meddling is the
favorite sport of the valetudinary pop,
