For Tomorrow
A PARTICULARLY astute and polite course of action is recom- mended for this day. There are peculiar undercurrents to cope with, perhaps intuitively and by strartge hunches rather than on I basis of pure logic. At the same time. the mind is not slow It grasping I situation. Scme par- ticular creative urge might rise to I striking Cll.I'f'iHX. The unusual or experimental. backed by energy nnd push. could swirr: wide-open doors. But tact. perhaps secret agreements. could win as well.
For The Birthday
Those whose birthday it is may anticipate a year of the dramatic. unpredictable and novel. with much of the surprising and tin-, looked-for developmg. In connec- tion uith major pi'0J('Ct5 there might. be elements of the unique and hidden factors to cliallcngc the abilities. Schemes and plots out of the ordinary may allure. with ll yen for new experiences and contacts proving dramatic. At the same time, the mind is quick rind versatile. incitin: to sound jiidemcnt with keen grasp of flirt- damentals, or of secret doings ori in-trlgues.
A child born on this day. while having strcn: ntcntnl nlailities, versatile and shrewd. has it deep ,':raSp of secret or singular fac- tors. which may stimulate and re- ward ultimately.

able time to learning the cause of epileptic attacks and I possible cure. All that could be done for an epileptic at that time was to pre- vent his hurting himself until the fit passed over. '
While the cause or causes of epi- lepsy have become known. there is It present no cure. I-Iowevar. Is epilepsy, in most cases. can be con- trolled so that the patient can avoid or almost completely Ivoid attacks. the life span of the epi- leptic is not shortened to any great extent and he can engage in II- most all forms of gainful occupa- tion.
So distressing to patient and faintly. and to others. are these It- lacks that throughbut the civilized world organizations have been tomied to conquer or at least con-

In the entire United states there are only it special clinics and only about 150 specialists in epilepsy. "A sub- stantial increase in the number of treatment centers, adequately staf- fed. would not only reduce Ipprec- lably the number of epileptlcs who enter institutions but would make many more of them self-support- mg. There is good evidence that four of every five epileptic child- ren could lead normal and produc- tive lives it proper treatment were available."

For Quick Cough Relief, Mix This Syrup, at Home
You'll be surprised how quickly I had winter cough can be relieved, when you try this well known recipe universally used tliroughmit Canada. It's no trouble to mix, and costs but a trifle.

No Future
Married Beaux Seldom Keep Promises To Get Divorce
DEAR MISS DIX: Three years ago I began going with Bert; at that time he told me he loved me nnd nskcd me to marry him. Of course he is married. but said he was gelling fl divorce. On sev- eral occasions he told me he hnd started divorce proceedings, but I know he never did. He claims that, although he and his wife share the same house, they do not live together as husband nnd wife. He comes and goes as is single man--un arrnngcmcnt he says hns been going on for sixteen years.
Now he is also dating El woman who works with him. Several times when he snid he wns working into nt the office, I have seen them togellicr in n tavern or at her house. He has made many prom- ises to me thnt haven't been kept. I have given up friends he didn't like: I gave up in job be- cause my working hours conflicted with the time he wnnted to spend with me and now I have no one but him. I love him very much nnd keep hoping the situation will change for the better Right now 1 don't see much future for us.

ANSWER: You have got yourself into I sorry mess and the best thing to do is face the issue squarely, realize what you have to do. and do if. I appreciate the fact that life isn't as simple as this short. solution sounds. but honestly, I-Zdnn, prolonging your present why of life will lend to nothing but greater hchrtbreuk.
FACE FACTS
You know perfectly well by now that your sweetheart has no intention of getting I divorce. It's hard to admit this. even to your- self. but there simply is no other possibility. Get back to work. and build I new life for yourself throwing nwny even the ashes of the old one.
You are still ll comparatively young wnmnn nnd need not despair of the future. A mnn who would give three women as hnd I deal as this mnn has can't have nnything to evoke respect or ndmirnticl from anyone.
Jobs are not hard to find today. and if you are nltrncflve enough to please one man, I'm sure you'll find others who will make much better comprlnions.
All other ccnsidcrntinns nsidc. doesn't the immorality of your life bother you? There is such a thing us sin. you know. and you can't go through life disregarding the fundamental principles of de- cent living without cvcntunliy pnylng :1 price. If you get out of this affair now. you'll be evading most of the tragedy mat is bound to overtake you in time. Perhaps you will be ion!-some nnd blue at times. but pence of mind and ll grcntcr t-hnncc for hnppint-ss in the right kind of life. pcrliuzis with I decent man, will be your reward.
DEAR MISS DIX: ! married John. I widower with three rhil- dren. He does well at his profession, In money is no problem. He's I hard worker and is good provider, but is self-centered. inconsider- ate and selfish as fnr ns I nm roncrrnc-vi. Although I love him. there are times when I'm humiliated hr. the way he fronts me. There's nothing he wouldn't do for his children or family, while I do all the hnusework and laundry and never have I rent. to my nnme. I never go to I hairdresser. for I have no mnncy. and look so shabby for, want of clothes I'm nshnmed to go out at all. What can I do?
SUZZIE V.
ANSWER: I'm Afraid. Suzzle. that you share the fate of many second wives. namely, your husband married you simply to acquire I cheap housekeeper. This is one of”-the pitfalls to consider when- ever I widower with children courts is capable woman. If you don't hnve the respect of your husband. you surely won't get any from his children. The minute they are grown you'll be out of I job and fl younger woman will be ready to step into your shoes. Forc- stali that Issue. and set out for yourself if you want any future It Ill.
DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I'm 19 and very much In love with I buy of Z). We went steady for six years until last summer. when we broke up because I moved to another city to work. I went out with other boys, he dated other girls. but we finally decided to re- sume our friendship where we left off. Now he is going to another city to school and I am worried. I-Ie'I ha. drama and can have Ill the date: he wants. He comes home every week and but I know nothing of what goes on during the week. Perhaps I just have I Jealous nature but 1 just can't trust him.
WANDA O.
ANSWER: Since faith is the essence of love. you can't hIvI the gevotion to your boy-friend you think you have if you don't trust im. After all. since you are admittedly pretty and not Idvern to date: yourself. be has as much right to misfrenf. you ll you luvs to doubt him. if you can't believe in each other during forced separ- Ilions, your chances of I happy marriage are practically nil. Furth- ermore, I student doeslft have loo much lime to go out during the week: classes and study keep him pretty busy. .-.-..s Revise your own thinking. and If you cIn't merge with I more trustful attitude. better make Inother-Ind yvl Inuit-brook with your young mun. -

A few turns at the baking, ex- ploded by theories and taught me I profound respect for cooks. And It vowed then and there, that if I ever had I daughter, I would stress in her education, the ways of housewife:-y."
