HOROSCOPE
| “The stars Incline, but do not compel.”
FRIDAY. AUG. 27, 1920.
Conflicting forces rule this day, ac
cording to astrology.
There is a sign supposed to Indicate
intrigue and double-dealing. Plots and
secret plans of sinister purpose are be
lieved to flourish during this rule.
Again scandals, whispered at first but
later published In the newspapers are
foreshadowed. This tendency to ferret
out the evil men and women do is held
ito be Intensified by unusual aspects of
the stars.
Dealers In clothing, millinery and
jewelry should benefit today, for there
Is the forecast of much profit.
Civic movements in which women are
leaders have the prophecy of extensive
prosperity. Colonization also is well
aspected.
Religion will be discussed In Its bear
ing on certain national questions, as
trologers foretell, and November will
bring problems to the government.
Success for women who Beck public
approval is presaged by the planets and
more than one will reach high office.
Persons whose birthdate It Is may
have a year of ups and downs, but they
can assure success. Changes, however,
will not be In the least satisfactory.
Children born on this day probably
will lead eventful lives. They are often
Inclined to be headstrong''and fond of
adventure.—Copyright, 1920.
PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory.
This is the road to Banbury Cross,
i want to go there on a snow-white
horse
Tor there is no trolley that goes that
way,
So lend me your snow-white horse, I say.
But Puss wouldn't, and I don’t blame
him, do you, for who do you suppose
asked him to? It was the Knave of
Hearts, who stole the tarts, and Puss
wasn’t going to lend his horse to any
body like that, for a thief can never be
trusted, you know.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
By Ann Lisle
CHAPTER LXII (Continde.)
"Anne, dear, l snatched the ’phone
from Vee because I wanted to hear from
the bride, herself, how our Jimmie Is
getting on,” said Betty In her clear
vibrating voice.
But even while I was assuring her
that Jim was almost as well as he
thought himself, my lips were trembling
with the hurt of Virginia’s snub and
the clever twist Betty had given to
facts In order to save me from being
hurt.
“You’ll come to see Jim tomorrow,
won’t you, Betty?” I asked hopefully,
“I’d like a chat with you myself.”
“Maybe I’ll run In and rake you out
for a breath of air while Virginia Is
visiting with Jim,” suggested Betty.
Then we said goodby, and I set my
face into a smile before I turned to face
my boy. But there wasn't a smile In
my heart —for In the very way Betty
was standing between Virginia and me,
I recognized the Intimacy and under
standing between them.
‘'Which shall we move, Jim—your
throne or the "table ?”I asked In a voice
I hoped was light and casual.
“Neal and I will give Jimmie a ride,”
laughed Phoebe, you're lucsy that you
didn't get to speak with Vee. My,
wasn't she peeved because I didn't phone
home the tidings that I was staying
here for dinner! Vee acts as If I were
an Infant.”
“Daillng ‘infant,’ ” murmured Neal as
he managed to lay his left hand very
close to Phoebe’s right for their joint

“Go away,” said Puss, ‘you thieving
knave.” And this made tho Knave of
Hearts so angry that he threw one of
the tarts at the snow-white horse, and
it made a great big red spot on hts
side, for It was a cranberry tart, you
•see.
And after that he rode away, and by
and by he came to the town of Ban
bury Cross. And just as he was en
tering the village he heard the souna
of bells. And then all of a sudden an
old woman rode by on a horse, and she
had rings on her fingers and bells on
task of swinging Jim’s couch alongside
the table.
Phoebe hung her head for a moment,
but that didn’t hide the swirl of pink
that rode triumphantly from the tip of
her little pointed cbln right up to the
shadows of her long eyelashes. Then
she flashed out with an Idea she con
sidered so daring that it left her almost
breathless:
“Neal, let's do every mldgln of the
work. We’ll wait on Anne and Jimmie
and play we’re the butler and maid.
Want to?”
“I want to do everything you want,”
declared Neal softly—so softly that again
hts words escaped Jim, who seemed
wrapped In thoughts of his own.
I entered Into the spirit of their play,
and dressed Phoebe up In my best ruffled
sewing apron, with a tiny twist of ’ace
and black velvet for a cap to crown tho
soft fluffiness of her hair.
Then I devoted myself to my boy, who
had to be coaxed to eat even his delicious
little ateak and mealy, baked potato. He
seemed sunk In gloom and when l
nestled against him on tho couch his
response was perfunctory—absent
minded.
Suddenly, when our “maid" and “but
ler” had gone to fetch In the sweets.
Jim turned to me with an expression of
wliat was lu his heart:
“Oh, little sw-eetheart—if only 1 really
could give you servants to wait on you.
It's wonderful to see you sit quiet and
actually enjoy your dinner. And to
think I’m down-and-out—haven’t even a
Job.!” —Copyright, 1920.
ter toes, and when she saw Puss Junior
she cried:
“Why have you come to Banbury Cross,
Mister Puss Juniir, on your white
horse?”
“Because he needs a shoe,” said Puss.
“Have you a smithy In your town?”
“There’s a smithy down the street
Who will shoe your horse’s feet;
With a ticker, tacker, two.
He will forge for him a shoe.
Blow the bellows with a blast
Till the sparks fly thick and fast.
Ticker, tacker, ticker, two.
Soon your horse has found a shoe.”
“Thank you kindly,” said little Puss
Junior, as he urged his steed forward,
and pretty soon he came to the black
smith shop. And after his horse's shoe
was on Puss rode through the village un
til he came to a sign on which was writ

Sandman was Just getting out his bag of
sand, for ho is the man, yon know, who
puts little children to sleep.
“Don't throw any sand in my eyes
until I And a place for my horse to sleep
and a bed for myself,” said Puss with a
grin. So the Sandman passed them by
and Puss went on until he came to a
tavern called “Cuddle Inn.”
“Here Is just the place,” said Puss, and
he gave tho reins to a stable boy and
told him to give the snow-white horse a
good supper, and after that Puss went
Into the inn and sat down at the supper
table. And would you believe, he was
so tired that he fell sound asleep. Per
haps the Sandman had thrown some sand
in his eyes without Puss knowing It.—

Frederick S. Kolle, Editor-In-Chief of
Physicians’ “Who's Who,” and a nation
ally known author of medical text books,
in a most emphatic statement said:
“If I had my way, Bltro-Phosphate
Rhould be prescribed by every doctor
and used in every hospital.
Later. Dr. Kolle said: “When the
nerve tissue begins to lose Its vitality,
woman begins to lose her youth and
vivaelousness. Her lively, pleasant dis
position fades away—she becomes irrit
able, uncompanionable, moody and de
spondent. It would Indeed be a god
send If more men and women were aware
of the efficacy of Bltro-Phosphate.”
Hot weather Is dreaded by men and
women who are weak, thin, nervous,
timid and lacking Id vigorous develop
ment because it saps their vitality al- J
most to the breaking point.
To al! such people Bltro-Phosphate is
recommended because it Is the one or

by the system, will supply the element
necessary for a vigorous, healthy body
