THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, August 10.

Early hours tomorrow should be
fairly fortunate. according to astrol-
Ogy. which finds that while benefiC as
poets are strong, later there are GER
tain adverse influences.
There is q fair sign for those who
bear public responsibilities and desire
to push the business of the people.
Political corruption is to be uncov-
cred in municipal affairs East and
West, it is foretold, and for that rea-
son conscientious men will benefit
greatly.
This trend, in which the people of
the country are to be aroused from
apathy regarding the administration
of their affairs. is to be most fortunate
for high official
The stars are read as stimulating
NOV ements for reform and for a re
vival of old-time stndards of integrity.
Campaigns to overcome laXity re-
garding marriage and divorce will be
bitterly fought before the end of the
year, it is prognosticated.
Under this rule, engineers, contrac-
tors and persons interested in construc-
tive or creative work should benefit
The planetary government favors
those who develop wealth through
manufacture or through agriculture,
rather than those who are mere
traders.
The rule OF the stars is not favorable
to merchants. and there may be some
temporary difficulty affecting our ex
panding commerce.
Again the seers foretell, for the
Pacific Coast, tremendous growth
and it may be the place where world
interest centers through its proximity
to the Orient.
- Persons whose birth date it Is will
do Well to appreciate the love that
may appear unwelcome.
Children born on that day may have
many adventures in their careers.
Both boys and girls probably will par

Two Little Boils.

A comedo, commonly called a black
head, is a plug of sebaceous material
in the excretory duct of a sebaceous
or oil gland. The sebum, or skin oil. Is
normally a fluid that is constantly
poured out from these glands in just
sufficient quantity TO keep the skin
soft, smooth. warm and clean. At the
time of pubertY-the early teens
there is normally a distinct impetus
in growth and development and with
this is associated notable increase i'll
the physiological activity of the skin.
Consequently young people are con-
sciouS of "A marked oilinesS, often
supertiuous secretion of this Sebum.
Moreover the very rapid growth OF
epithelial cells in the skin tends TO
narrow the eXcretory orltices of the
oil glands, and this favors retention
of the Sebum in the ducts. The re-
tanned oil becomes more thjckened,

Bedsprings
theCause of
Many Ills
How Improper Sleeping
Pastures Cause Loss
of Vitality
PROPER SPINE SUP
PORT IMPORTANT

It is no secret that the human
body is constantly wearing out and
just as constantly being renewed.
Your doctor will tell you that your
body is different today than it was
yesterday-newer cells have taken
the place of the cells and tissue that
yesterdays work consumed-and a
greater part of this repair work was
done 5y nature last night while you
slept.
In brief. we live by the gain we
make at night in sleep over the ener-
gy that we expend during our waking
hours. When we fail to maintain
this balance we begin to draw upon
reserve and this is where the trou-
BILE starts.
We know that the spinal cord is
the great nerve of the body. We
know also that this great nerve is
concealed in the bony structure OF
the spine. 1t must then be also
equally apparent that anything that
affects the spine must also affect the
spinal cord.
When we sleep on a bedspring
that says, we must expect spine sag,
and spine sag obviously induces sag
in the spinal cord-perhaps strain
or congestion. When this condition
exists the nerves below the point of
sag or congestion must suffer. for
they fail to get the full value of the
rest and nourishment to which they
are entitled. The result Is that the
organs served by these nerves must
also pay the penalty. Sometimes it
may be the heart, or the stomach. or
the kidneys or other organs, and then
if the condition persists. the body
becomes unable. for the time, to COM
bat its enemies. Because of this,
vitality is affected, resistance is low
cred and illness makes its inroads.
Thus from a small beginning comes
a serious ending. that may have been
caused or perhaps aggravated. by
poor bedspring.. And this is the
very logical reason why good bed.
