The Stars Say
For Wednesday, December l
By GENEVIEvE KEMBLE

THE prospects are excellent for
progress in exceptional ways or
through the astute use of unusual
gifts or talents, in which the higher
forces or faculties may be the driv-
ing force. Intuition, Imagination,
idealism or inspiration may be the
means Of putting over novel express
sions in art, literature, drama,
speaking, or in the demonstration
of charm and beauty in purely per-
sonal relations. Nevertheless, there
may be disposition to splurge or
everyday the part, with loss or re-
gret through extravaganza or emo
tional indulgences. With brakes on
success.
For the Birthday
Those whose birthday it is may
anticipate year Of exceptional ex-
perience or adventures in the higher
expressions of faculties, skills, tai
ents and inclinations Of subtle or
unique quality. Imagination or fan
cy may play part, urged on by an
emotional or dramatic drive for the
unusual. And this to a degree be-
yond the practical, with lavish or
unjustifable inclination to waste
funds, substance, and energies. With
an eye to thrift and moderation in
all expressions there may be singu-
lar rewards, with subtle pleasures
and enjoyments Of spiritual aspect.
A child born on this day may be
richly endowed with talents and
skills Of an exceptional nature, i'm
bued by poetry, music, art, litera-
ture and drama. In its inspirational
quest, it may be prone to lavish its
energies and its funds.

WHILE unrest grows in all parts
Of China, very little news is at hand
on Macao. So it would seem that
this thriving Portuguese settle
ment, set some IS miles from Hong
Kong, and about eighty miles from
Canton, is jogging along merrily,
as it seems to have done for GEN.
turies.
Macao was secured in 1857 be-
cause Portugal had assisted the
Chinese government to overcome
and destroy the pirates which in
tested the adjacent waters, and so
became the first European settle
ment in China. On a promontory is
the Juia Lighthouse, the first one
erected in China. The majority Of
the people Of Macao are Chinese,
and there is large Eurasian group,
but very few pure Portuguese, ex-
cept the administrators. But the
Portuguese flag flutters from many
homes Is well as from public build
ings, 80 that part of it is all right
Crescent Bay
Macao has a most picturesque
crescent Bay, with terraced slopes
and blue, yellow and white houses,
making for q pretty waterside
scene. The colony, which really is
. sort Of rocky promontory, is about
three miles long and q half mile
wide.
The principal thoroughfare, the
Praia Grarde, fronts the sea for
over . mile ano is lined with some
pretty ornate buildings, clubs and
restaurants. A frontier gate and
wall separates the Portuguese ter
ritory from that Of China.
Macao has q gambling concession
and ID . sort Of Monte Carlo Of the
Orient with an ornate casino as well
- lesser establishments. There are
soma most delightful sub-tropical
gardens, beautifully tended, several
charming parks with shady walks
and floral displays. also very well
maintained. There Is 4 fine drive
slong the waterfront and some
vsxy palatial homes, all making the
eonanunity . very pleasant one.

The Cosmetics That

washed with bland soap. The heav-
ier consistency offers resistance to
the fingers, so that manipulations
go deeper into the flesh to tone the
underlying fibers and to coax the
blood streams to get into liveller
state of action.
No need for using creams lavish
ly. After all, it is the friction that
does the most good, removing dead
scales, helping the skin surface to
keep smooth and of fine texture.
Most women are powder wasters.
They fluff it on generously, remove
most of it. Which seems pretty
senseless to this preacher of pull
chritude. Use a little, then add as
necessary.
Reckless Mood
Perfumes were never as expen-
sive as they are now. If you have
Jared forth in reckless mood, spent
a considerable sum for favorite
fioretted scent, do not let it stand
on your dressing table because the
bottle is quaint and pretty. Put it
away in dark cabinet. Warmth and
light will cause perfume to evapo-
rate. Keep it tightly stoppered.
On one cosmetic, do not econo-
mize, and that is the hand lotion.
Use it freely. If you belong to the
grand army of housewives, have a
bottle in the kitchen, one in every
bathroom, apply the contents at
least twice day. With your mitts
in and out Of water frequently, they
are robbed of the natural oil that
keeps them smooth.

GAVE Junior a comprehending
and applauding smile at his success
in satisfying Faith with the half
truth about the marauder who had
shot Dicky in the left arm, mirac-
ulously missing the heart at which
he had aimed.
81 just knew my daddy wouldn't
be so careless as to get shot while
he was cleaning his gun," Faith said
smugly, "but l suppose you all
thought was too little to be trusted
with the real DOPE"
Indulgent Laugh
Ny signaling frown silenced the
indulgent laugh on Dicky's lips, and
l looked steadily at my young
daughter.
"Not too little, Faith" said,
you're old enough now to be trusted
with secrets, but you're careless
sometimes, and talk too much. When
you can learn to guard your tongue,
you can be trusted with secrets,
too."

The average woman has to keep q

women buy toiletries that stand on

How Foods
Can Affect
The Liver
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD.

1T HAS not been so many years
ago that liver disease was thought
to be due, in most cases, to infec-
tions or poisons. More recently a
great deal Of study has been given
to the effect Of various food factors
on the liver.
A nutritional deficiency, that is,
not enough Of the right kind of
foods, seems to produce a collection
Of fat in the liver, and destruction
Of some Of the liver tissues called
necrosis. Finally, scar tissue forms
in the liver and this is known as
fibrosis.
Fatty Foods
The depositing Of fat in the liver
may result from eating large
amounts Of fatty foods. A number
Of substances seem to increase the
rate at which fat accumulates in the
liver. These include cholesterol,
thiamine or Vitamin B., niacin,
which is part Of the Vitamin Boom
plex, and biotin, which is also part
Of the Vitamin B-complex.
On the other hand there are GER
tain substances which are known to
speed up the removal of fat from
the liver. These are called lipotropic
substances. The most important of
these substances are choline and
inositol and lipocaic, which come
from the pancreas. Methionine is
one Of the amino acids which make
up proteins. This substance also
helps to get rid of fat in the liver.
Cystine is another amino acid
which, too, is helpful but is not so
effective as the methionine.
Choline Effective
Of all these substances, it would
appear that choline is the most effec-
tive, although methionine is almost
as helpful. Thus, in the treatment
Of liver disorders, proper diet is es-
pecially important. The diet should
be high in the essential protein
foods, such as meat and eggs. high
in carbohydrates, and low in fats.
There is an acute Inflammation of
the liver known as infectious hepa-
tits. This disorder generally occurs
in well-nourished individuals, and
the employment of the lipotropic
substances does not seem to be of
any particular help in this condition.
However, when a liver disturbance
is due to a dietary deficiency, or
when it results from the excessive
5aspss tnspis sa i ssass bssais sEaf liR82 Ra
portant.
All forms Of liver Inflammation
should be treated with an adequate
intake Of protein foods and starches
and sugars, and the diet kept low in
fats. In addition, when there is any
suspicion of malnutrition, choline
and methionine may well be admin
istered.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Reader: What would cause a
person to hear the sound of his
heartbeat in his head?
Answer: This may be due to high |
blood pressure. 1t is also present in
certain nervous disturbances. AS
rule, it is no cause for concern.
R. p: Please tell me about pin
worms.
Answer: Pinworms are brought
into the body probably by water or
food. The most common symptoms
Of their presence is itching about |
the opening of the rectum. Treat
ment consists of frequent washings
of the infected region, and enemas
to remove the worms from the rec
tum.
Hexylresorcinol and gentian vio-
let have been used in the treatment.
This should always be done under
a doctors supervision. |

that the secrets" to which she had
access would be most carefully

made no demur about the extended
time. Instead, she rushed up to me,
and threw her arms tightly about
me.
"You're the most scrumptious
mummy, a bad girl ever had," she
said.
There's an accolade!" Dicky told
me, but Faith rushed on, unhearing.
"And will l ever guard my tongue p
she said. "I'll put clothespins on it

Ihurriedly switched the conversa-
tional to another track as the
laughter at her subsided. She had

decided.

the reactions Of your son and your
nephew to your proposal that they

Dicky looked at the boys through
half-narrowed eyes, and they flushed
as they returned his gaze squarely.

almost year of "Trumanizng' in Greece and a
longer period in the Orient fairly complete answers
at hand for the first two questons:
Greece, like China, has proved admirable exam
pie of Operation Rathoe". We've allocated $500 mil
lion to the Greeks which will be used up by July 80
and in return have received the enmity only of a
good portion of the Greek population but of all other
Balkan nations well.
Our money and military equipment instead of
stabiizing the fascist government of that unfortunate
country, have accelerated the civil war; increased
discomfort of hungry Greek masses, and enriched the
handful of powerful families who control practically
all of the economic wealth of that country ct should
be noted this point this same ruling class also

preaching much more than so to so percent
vote IN general election. Why haven't
more people voted? The answer to that
question, it seems to me is that they haven't
been impressed with the need for them to 90
to the polls. They haven't been made to feel
that it made much difference to them wheth-
er they voted or not so they would stay on
their jobs or in their fields on election day
and let the other fellow vote-if he wanted
to vote
What would happen if the 80 percent or
more electors who have failed to 90 to the
polls in the past actually cast their ballots
next year. don't know and neither do you.
But cherish one firm conviction and that is
that more than 65 percent of the voters in
our great state are progressive minded and
will vote according ly-if they vote.
What will get much of this delinquent
percentage of voters to the polls? Not be-
cause Democrat is running against a Re-
publican. They will go to the polls only if
their interest has been aroused by issues, i'm
pressively presented; presented in manner
to bring home to them their urgency to them
personally And I can picture no one better
able to do this than Henry Wallace
A heavy vote will react in favor of the
election Of progressive representative to the
congress as we'll. Do you believe that we
would have Buddy Ecton as junior senator
from Montana if we had mustered rs per-
cent vote of the electors in Montana in 1916?
don't. And heavy vote in Montana will
return James E. Murray to the United States
Senate where he is so badly needed, this year.
Probably, as has already been done by
some misguided, so-called liberals, Wallace
and his running mate and all who vote for
him will be called Communists Well,
name calling is still less destructive than ex-
plosive shells or atom bombs The common
people may get the idea that they can keep
