Until sundown there is a combina- tion of Influences that tends to great mental and physical activity. If this force be properly controlled by mod- eration and conservatism a great deal of useful work may be accomplished in business or along mechanical lines. Literary efforts are also fa- vored by the aspects that prevail The balance of the day réeveals a tendency to suspleion and irritability. Under such influences it is necessary to meintain poise and equilibrium, especially in the home and family circle, 80 as to avold saying or doing those things that will lead only’ to dissension and quarrelsomeness, A child born today will during in- fancy show untailing strength and vigor. Its childhood will be passed without any physical setback, but durmg the period of adolescence it will be subject to one serious illness that only loving care and sedulous attention will be able to combat suc- cessfully. In character it will be of a contented, comforf-loving dlsposi- tion, but love of eass will not inter- fere with a conscientious performance of its duties. It will be both capable and reliable and respected by all its assoclateg. It will be fond of good literature and decidedly a homebody. Loyalty and devotion to family will Dbe one of its outstanding characteris- tics. L 1f today is your birthday, you have the ability to accomplish big things and should never be satisfied with re- sults that fall short of the goal at- tempted. You are not easily discour- aged. You have a large, sympathetic heart and the fils of others worry you and distress you. You should be a loving parent and your home life will be ideal. If you have not so far accomplished as much as you think you ought to have done, reflection undoudtedly will| convince you that the cause has been | not-your lack of courage, but a want |of perserverance. You conteive great ideas mnd go &t their execution with a_zest and seal that indicate ultimate success. Very often, however, Jjust prior to fruition, just at the moment when a little more continued effort would “put it over,” you slacken and turn to something new. Persistency is the virtue that, above all others, you should cultivate. {Copsright, 1925.) | Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle. | | | | | i | | | | | | | | | Lrrrie boys can be too fresh—but a cook- ing fat cannot be. _ That's why we have spent so much thoughe on - the airtight can which brings Snowdrift to-your kitchen as fresh as the « day it was made.

Ench bit of knowledge you attain Will prove an aid=to futire gain. —Little Joe Otter. The young Otter had told his father: Little Joe Otter, the story of how his fish had mysteriously disappeared. You should have seen the twinkle in ittle Joc's eyes as he listened. Would you really like to know what became of your fish?" Little Joe asked. “Of course 1 would,” replied the young Otter. “But I con't belleve anybody will ever find out “Don’t you think I could find out if T went over there?” asked Little Joe. The young Otter shook his head very decidedly. “No, I.don’'t,” said he; very honestly “All right, s plied Little Joe Otter, his ey kling nore than ever. So together they went:fishing, and presently each caught a fish. “You take yours over to the bank, but don't stop to eat it. Keep your eyes on this fish of mine,” said Littls Joe. The young Otter obédlently took his fish over to the bank and then sat down to watch. Little Joe Otter climbed out on the ice at the place where the young Otter had twics lost his fish before. He laid the fish down on the ice then plunged into the water and swam over to whero the young Otter was. Before he got there the young Otter saw a great, broad-winged white bird appear from nowhere, pick up that fish on the ice without stop- away a short distance , let’s go fishing,” re- s twin- ice and suddenly didn’t look like a bird at all. He looked like a )it heap of snow. He looked exac like the heap of snow that the yvoung Otter had seen over there several times before, You should' have seen the eyes of that young Otter Pop out of his head. He was so surprised that for a full minute he couldnt find his tongue.
