The Other Fellows Profit.

Really the woman was quite indig-

the bank that paid her per cent on

1t was simple enough. The bank
paid her per cent. 1t loaned money
out at 6 per cent. But it loaned her
money. Therefore it made 2 per cent
on her money, which Melted it so per
cent.
Do you follow that? It sounds logi-
cal does it not?
Is it true though? Is it not true
that every So made by the bank on
every 500 loaned represents 2 per cent
of the amount loaned? Is 1t not true
also that the bank must maintain a
substantial building, offer all sorts of
banking services and facilities?
Is it not also true that a bank lends
its own capital? We hold no brief for
banks generally at all. Obviously they
are institutions designed to bring profit
to those who invest their capital in
them. Like other businesses, the. profit

A Reader-High blood pressure is not
necessarily a serious matter, but it
should be watched and cared for by a
doctor or some one who knows what is
causing it. Corrective diet and the
proper fuctioning of some of the organs
have much to do with lowering the
pressure. 1t is advisable to have your
doctor care for you until you get over
the trouble.

AS the old gentleman solemnly ut

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, October 3.

Tomorrow is day of contradictory
influences, according to astrology. which
finds benefic and adverse aspects con-
tending.
It is well to distrust ones Judgment
under this sway and to avoid impul-
sive action. Small matters may seem
unusually irksome.
The rule may incline both men and
women to find fault with their places
in life and to suffer from a discomfort
far from divine.
1t is we'll to nurse ones job instead
Of watching for all its Objectionable
features. This is not an suspicious time
to change employment.
Reactionary influences are at work,
for fashions are to turn backward to
many picturesque modes.
While it is a favorable day for max
ing new acquaintance it is not a lucky
day for romance. Summer flirtations
do not crystalline into bona flde love
affairs while this rule continues.
The stars smile on evening enter
tainments and on meetings of every sort.
Speakers of every sort should find that
words flow smoothly under this sway.
Startling news of foreign warfare is
fcretold by European astrologers, who
predict for this month invasions and
aSsaSsinationS.
Mercury is an aspect most favorable
to all forms of American business. which
is promised history-making new year.
Persons whose birth date it is prob
ably will have busy and prosperous
year, but they must avoid whatever
savors of intrigue or concealment.
These subjects of Virgo often excel IS
chemists, and for them great achieve
ments are predicted within the next 10
years.
Children born on that day probably
will be foremost in scholarship. Many
writer's are born under this sign of
Virgo. which is supposed to encourage
supreme achievements.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

patronize the bank or any other bust
ness that does show profit. It is a
business that is progressing, and one
that is secure.
When you may be benefited or ia
vored by dealing with any business,
be it bank or store or any other sort,
avail yourself of the chance. What the
other fellow makes, or does not make,
is of no concern to you if you are sure
to receive your moneys worth.
There are women so greedy that they
cannot suffer any one realizing legiti-
mate profit from business with them.
Unfortunately such women are the first
to fall for a scheme which promises
them everything for nothing, or next
to nothing.
If your own side of the bargain is
satisfactory, 60 not begrudge the other
fellow his side.

Simple Toilet Preparations.

Here are few easily made toilet
preparations which you should have.
You can keep these beauty lotions in a
separate cabinet or a separate part of
the bathroom medicine cabinet, or, If
you have some decorative empty bottles
and jars, on the shelf These beauty
preparations should be within reach
while you are washing or bathing, and
I suggest a separate place for them, be-
cause you do not want other members
of your family to use your own cXclu-
sive things, any more than you want
them to use your combs and brushes.
Here's nail bleach for stained nails
and stained fingers: French peroxide of
hydrogen, one. ounce: ammonia, one
quarter ounce; lemon juice, one-quarter
ounce. This must be kept in a dark
bottle, otherwise the peroxide loses its
virtue, and used by dipping an orange
wood stick in it, with a wisp of cotton
wrapped around 1t to hold more liquid.
Run this under and around the nails
and rinse off.
An astringent should be used by
every woman past 25. About Is drops
of tincture of benzoin in a pint of
witch hazel makes an excellent one.
Or, the same in plain water If you
use this for slightly large pores rather
than lax muscles.
You've probably my cold cream for
mula, so shan't repeat it again today.
A small amount of fine table salt should
be kept in bottle or box in the bath
room, since salt and water make an
excellent mouth wash when you have
no other handy and wonderful gargle
with hot water for sore throat.
Powdered boracic acid should be kept
here, too, for it can be mixed with cold
cream to make a sunburn lotion, or
used to cool the skin.
S. M.-Your oily skin is the result of
poor elimination, and should be traced
and corrected in your system. 1t will
take some time to contract the pores

Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND,

You may have a touch of Summer
the year around by the use of floral
screen similar to that shown in the
sketch.
This is a simple affair which you
can make yourself, using any kind
of lowered paper for the covering of
the front of the panels; but there is
something so quaint and attractive
about hollyhocks that this design is
becoming a favorite among home
makers.
The foundation panels may be of
wood or heavy quality wallboard, the
fronts being covered with Powered
paper and the back with paper of
different type of design. Suggestions
for the latter include those with an
ivory ground and polka dot design in

rose or green (these being more harmo-
NOUS than any other color with holly
hocks); or some of the paper in imita-
ton of the old-time calicos would also
be appropriate.
The edges of the panels may be
finished with passepartout binding or
narrow wall paper border, and the
front and back of the panels given a
coat or two of shellac. This will give
them an antiquated appearance and
insure longer life for the screen.
Powered chintz may also be used for
the covering of the fronts of these
screens and the backs may be covered
with percale or calico in an old-time
design. Cotton tape may be used to
finish the edges of this type of screen;
and the final coat of shellac may be
applied as suggested for the paper
covered panels.
