The Stars Say
For Friday, October %
By GENEvIEvE KEMBLE


WHILE adverse and conflicting
planetary configurations are in evi-
dsnce on this day, yet there are ia
vorable aspects to nullify such if
properly utilized. Plans may be
muddled and upset, higher-ups may
lend . deaf ear to insistent appeals,
yet an alert mind, "quick on the
trigger" and versatile in manipu-
lating the confused and distorted
undercurrents, might work wonders
in swerving defeat into victory and
profit. Tact, courtesy and amiabil-
ity could create more power than
snmity, rancor and harsh words.
For the Birthday
Those whose birthday it is may
b prepared for 4 year Of situations
which they may best control and
modify by tact, amiability, courtesy
and persuasion rather than harsh,
vindictive, malicious and offensive
behavior. EASY does it,, since the
mind is particularly keen, alert,
adaptable and farseeing. Placate
and convince those in high places
holding out on needful support.
Those close at home in business or
domicile may also need tactful and
considerate approach rather than
sullen words, enmity or jealousy.
A fresk outlook all around could
benefit and eventually restore equi-
hhrium. Keep sociable and win out.
A child born ON this day may have
many conflicting elements in char
aster, but native shrewdness and
versatility might divert it from con-
diet and enmity into more lucrative

THE child with conspicuous red
birthmark across its face presents
a very real problem to both the pa
rents and the physician, particu-
larly if it occurs in girl. Parents
are naturally eager to get rid of
such blemishes as soon as possible,
but the physician may advise poll
icy Of wait-and-see because some
of these marks may tend to disap-
pear as the baby grows older.
Birthmarks are known techni-
cally as angiomas and are usually
present at birth, though they some
times develop later on. All are made
up of a collection of blood vessels,
though some are fiat and others are
raised above the skin to form a sort
Of blood tumor.
Purple Area
So far, science has had little sue
cess in dealing with the type Of
birthmark known as the port wine
stain" which forms a large purple
area on the skin. Other such
growths, however, respond to treat
ment and should always receive at
tention when they extend into the
mouth or eyes.
Cutting them out, Of course, is
the quickest way to obtain a cure
and the results are usually satisfac-
tory. Whether or not the growth
should be removed surgically will
depend upon its locale. Large anglo
mas can seldom be satisfactorily re-
moved in this way.
X-ray treatments are widely en-
ployed and are effective to a large
degree when properly used. How
ever, it is suggested that this form
Of treatment not be employed after
the child has reached two years Of
age. Such treatment should be
avoided on the scalp, around the
eyes, lips, breasts and sex organs,
because Of possible harmful effects
on these structures.
Another form Of treatment is the
application Of solid carbon dioxide.
This is a substance that freezes the
growth and speeds up its disappear
ance. A great deal Of skill is re-
quired in carrying out this treat

MANY women count on the econ
omy of nutritious cereals at break
fast, but why not count on day-long
savings by weaving the thrifty ce-
reals into lunch and dinner too? A
bowl Of cereal with sugar and milk,
topped with fruit, makes an excel
lent main dish for luncheon or even
supper. Augment it with a sandwich
or salad, if you like, but count on
the cereal, sugar and milk combina-
ton for top quality protein, B vita
minis, important minerals and en-
ergy-all at low cost.
Stews are delicious served with
sauteed squares of farina. Cereal
flakes, shreds, biscuits are crispy

are some good main dishes made

ment so as not to produce a great
deal Of soaring.
Injections Given
A form Of treatment which seems
to be successful in most cases is the
injection Of sclerosing or soaring
materials, such as sodium morrhu-
ate. This treatment is easily carried
out and the procedure is in no way
dangerous. For example, in a group
of 23S patients, good results were
obtained in two-thirds of them, and,
in all but one out of ten, the results
were fairly good. This method Of
treatment has no advantage insofar
as speeding up the rate Of removal
Of the growth is concerned, but II
usually results in fewer scars. The
results are best when the patient is
treated early in life and the growth
has been present for only q short
time. The poorest results are OBJ
tanned in those growths about the
face and mouth.
When such a growth is present, II
is advisable that it be carefully
studied by specialist who will de.
termine the best method Of treat
ment. In all instances, the earlier
the treatment is given, the better
will be the result.
