Shields are made of covered rubber

lighter in weight. You can tell these
shields apart very easily The gum

What Tomorrow Means to You
By MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable, and continue so
throughout the day. Only very late
in the evening will there be sensed
any disquiettng influences. 1t is an
eminently suspicious occasion for the
energetic prosecution of any enter
prise-old or new-in which you may
be interested, or for putting into effect
any radical changes in which you
have faith. Hcpa, resolution and en-
ergy will be sensed, and these funda-
mental influences will necessarily
bring about success, provided your ef-
forts are confined to that which is
sane and constructive and not directed
along channels of speculation and
hazard.
Children born tomorrow will, during
infancy and up until late in the teens,
enjoy exuberant health, and the few
minor ailments to which they will be
subject will readily yield to ordinary
methods of treatment. Between the
stage Of adolescence and that of adult:
hood, they will, the stars say, suffer
from one serious illness-either caused
by too rapid growth or accident. Their
characters will be dependable, and
while a. trife too interpretive, this

avidity and. although not exception.

ways be fundamental and not superb

tically assured.
If tomorrow Is your birthday, you
possess a very patient disposition and
are more plodding than spectacular
You, in all probability. have mechani.
cal ability and. If engaged in any
such work, your methodical and care
full habits are of inestimable value

You are slow to form attachments
The few friends you have are worth
considerably more than a wide circle
of acquaintances. Falling in love at

when you marry. will bring to your

went deep into the brake. Bye and

Though diseased teeth and tonsils
are responsible for many cases of
rheumatism, not al rheumatic troubles
can be laid to that cause. Constipation
Is sometimes responsible. The waste
poisons, instead of being eliminated,
set up intestinal texemia and this is
indirectly the cause of rheumatism
and many other ills.
When the pains in muscles and
joints are bad, local applications

measures-will give relief. Dietary
restrictions will also have to be used.
Sufferers from rheumatism must
have a laxative and an antitoxic diet.
They mugt thoroughly clear the sys-
tenn, but they must also beware of
foods likely to produce body poisons.
At the head of the list of acid-form-
ing foods Is meat, so those with the

their list. Potatoes, because Of their
alkaline salts, are a valuable food.
