the fall of some heavy object at the instant
when the sound it produced would fit pre-
cisely into the fabric of your involuntary
imaginings? l myself have had many
dreams of this kind, and almost everyone
to whom | have mentioned the sub
ject has had similar nocturnal expert
ences.
One night in San Francisco l dreamed
that | stood at the corner of Post and
Powell-sts. in that city, watching the
progress of work on a tall building that
was being erected at one side of Union
Square. Everything around me was pre-
sented in my dream exactly as | had seen
it in the day | remember that a par
ticular palm-tree which had excited my
admiration was there in its proper place
in the park, and all else had the orderli-
ness of reality.
Some curious details worked themselves
into my fancy. | chided a newsboy for
swinging himself backward from a moving
street-car, and heard the shrill signals
whistled by the workmen who were en-
gagged in raising heavy iron beams from
the ground to the top of the structure in
course of erection. | had watched the
lifting of several of these beams, and was
in my dream thinking of the havoc that
would be caused if the cable by which
they were suspended high in the air
should break.

No Light From Ordinary Causes

WHETHER such belief is reasonable
or not, it is certain that those
dreams in which we are carried forward
to crises timed to come precisely when
things actually occur to give them the
semblance of reality cannot be accounted
for on the scientific dictum that " dreams
are organic or systematic sensations con-
nected with varying states of the internal
bodily organs.
Ordinarily chaotic dreams may and
probably do result from bodily dis
turbances. such as exhaustion, nervous
ness, and impaired digestion, or they may
be the result of mental excitability; but it
is not likely that any of these causes
would serve to produce dream in which
a crash or an explosion was to take place
upon the instant that events of the future
were TO add the touch of reality And
such dreams have doubtless come to every
reader of this article.

said | have had many other dreams in
which a sequence of events seemed to
lead up naturally to the awful detonation
produced by door blown shut or to the
frightful conclusion involved in the
breaking of pane of glass. And in addi-
ton to my own experiences | have the
testimony of others to convince me that
some dreams at least cannot be explained
on the theory advanced by Schopen-
hauer, that dreams are mere impressions
received from the internal regions of the
organism through the sympathetic nerve
system" which are to be afterwards
worked up by the mind into quasi
The late Professor Henry M. Boltwood
who had wide reputation as an educator
informed me that he had had many
dreams wherein imaginary events led up
to catastrophes or crashes which were
made realistic by actual sounds One of
these dreams he related as follows:
A Collision and Picture Frame

by rail, and was considerably fatigued

been asleep an hour or more when | began

railway track near SnaTp curve. + ar
down the road | saw team approaching
and | decided to wait for the purpose of
making sure that it would get across the
track safely. 1t came along slowly, and
as it got near me | saw that beside the
driver there was a woman with a child in
her arms. When the team was within
a few yards of the railway the driver
urged his horses into trot, and just as
they were crossing the tracks fast train
shot round the curve. At the instant
when the engine struck the wagon there
was a terrible crash, and | awoke. In

BRASKA STATE NEWS
CONGRESSMAN KlNKAID
SAYS OF LEASING BILL

WASHINGTON dispatch. - Judge
Kinkaid has issued statement re-
garding the land leasing law that is
exceedingly important from the view
point of the Sixth congressional dis
trct. In this statement Judge Kin
kaid says that after having received
hundreds of letters from both large
and small stockmen urging relief
along certain lines, he could not sup
port either of the four bills which
have been introduced in the house
without amendments. independently
the several bills, according to the
member from the Sixth district, 1t Is
improbable that any of them can pass
for the reason, he cites, that they are
intended to cover the whole of the
western states and territories and
most of those states are likely to be
opposed to q leasing act. ut must be
restricted to Nebraska alone" said
Judge Kinkaid "and its peculiar In
terests, to secure the leasing legisla-
ton desired. AS some localities favor
and others oppose the leasing law, my
judgment is the people of each coun-
ty should be allowed to determine for
themselves whether an act is to take
effect in their county, and this could
be done by providing that 1t shall not
take effect in any county except upon
a resolution passed by the county
board requesting that 1t become oper-
alive therein"
Further Judge Kinkaid said that moi
in this country has there been such
splendid result growing out Of par.
ticular bill as has grown out Of the
640-acre homestead act which had
passed in the Fifty-eighth congress.
OF 100000 acres made subject to the
provisions of the Kinkaid law only
twenty months ago, according, to Judge
Kinkaid about 100000 have been
homesteaded. There has not been an
other instance in this country where
public land has been taken up more
rapidly where it has been subject to
entry so long, as had these lands at
the time the new act took effect.

NEW FOOD LAW

for just what It Is, and not try to kill It
by heavy tax. Manufacturers some
times try to force measures in their
own interests, but contrary to the in
terests Of the people and the labor
trust is always active to push through
bills drafted in the interest of that
trust but directly contrary to the in
terests of the people as whole. Wit
ness the anti-injunction bill by which
labor unions seek to tie the hands of
our courts and prevent the issue of
any order to restrain the members of
that trust from attacking men or de-
stroying property. Such bill is per-
haps the most infamous insult to our
courts and the common people ever
laid before Congress and the Represen-
tatives in Congress must be held to q
strict accountability for their acts re-
lating thereto. But when bills come
before Congress that are drawn in the
interests Of all the people they should
receive the active personal support of
the people and the representatives be
instructed by the citizens. The Sena-
tors also should be written to and in
structed. If, therefore, you will re-
member your privilege and duty you
will at once-now-write to your Con-
gresham cld Senator on this pure
food bill. Clip and enclose the copy
herewith presented and ask them to
make a business Of following 1t through
the committee considering it. Urge

YORK.-York county farmers are
awakening to the fact that nearly
every farm implement or machinery is
in the trust and there is considerable
agitation among them in York county
to form an association and boycott
all manufactured farm machinery that

posed is to effect an organization OF

orders either through the local firms
or through q paid secretary.

NEBRASKA CITY.-Reports from

They are to the effect the river Is

high and dry and the company will
have to build another bridge east of

carping critic may say this Is simply
an advertisement for Postum and
Grape-Nuts. 1t Is true that these ar
ticles are spoken Of here in public
manner, but they are used as illustra.
lions Of a manufacturer seeking by
example, printing on each pkg. truth
full, exact statement Of ingredients, to
shame other makers into doing the
fair thing by the common people, and
establishing an era of pure food, but
that procedure has not yet forced those
who adulterate and deceive to change
their methods, hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show a
way out of the present condition OF
fraud, deceit and harm.
The undersigned Is paying to the
publishers Of America about $20,000.00
to print this announcement in pract.-
cally all of the great papers and maya
zines, in the conduct of what he
chooses to term IAN educational cam
paign," esteemed to be Of greater d.
rect value to the people than the estab-
lishment of many Libraries. That 10
held to be worthy method Of using
money for the public good. Tell the
people facts, show them way to help
themselves and rely upon them to act
intelligently and effectively.
The reader will be freely forgiven If
he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and Grape-Nuts, If he will but
join the pure food movement and
do things.

tOON oNSuI otNlJ.
The people have allowed the slow
murder Of infants and adults by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and woman join in an organized
movement to clear our people from
this blight. You may not be able to go
personally to Washington to impress
your Congressman, but you can, in
most effective way tell him by letter
how you desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and If goodly number of
citizens express their views to him, he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will OF the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people. There
fore, II your Representative in Con-
gress evades his patriotic duty hold
him to strict accountability, and II
necessary demand equitable and hon
est service. This is a very different
condition than when faction demands
class legislation of the Congressman.
Several years ago the butter interests
Of the country demanded legislation to
kill the oleomargarine industry and by
power of organization forced class leg
islation really unworthy of free peo-
pie. Work people wanted beef suet
butter because 1t was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
dairy interests organized and forced
the legislation. The law should have
provided that pkgs. of oleomargarine
bear the statement of ingredients and
then let people who desire purchase II

Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
islatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right to fix food Standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat,
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another, and such act would
deprive the common citizen Of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
Of prepared foods in the world, have
naturally close knowledge of the
needs Of the people and the details OF
the business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocer), and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared bill for submits
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as a citizen of the U. S. has a
right to food protection even when he
enters another State, it is deemed
proper that the govt take control Of
this matter and provide a national
law to govern all the states. A copy
Of the bill is herewith reproduced
Sec. 1 governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into paper bag he must also
inclose printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
guarantee of his selling the food as it
Is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer of responsibility of the
truth of the statement and throws it
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of it's
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. OF Postum and Grape
Nuts food truthful and exact state
ment Of what the contents were made
of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost, but a further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will.
