Real Cause of Nightmare
BY II. ADDINoToN BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle OF Personality.
Psychology and Parenthood." etc

PSYCHOLOGISTS have lately been making some
exceedingly interesting ard important discov-
cries One OF these is that the real cause OF
that widespread malady, nightmare. is to be
found in the state. not OF the victims stomach.
but OF his mind
II used to be thought by every body-and 1t
still Is thought by EosE pecpie--that nightmare
il due entirely TO indigestion
Cucumbers radshes, holsters. and sundry
otner articles of food. acting on weak stom-
ach were held responsible Tor the dire Visions
tina, torment the nighimsreridden-
Consequently il was believed that the one
sure cure OF nightmare was IN careful dieting
Recently. however. scienticfic study OF the
nightmare problem a large scale has
revealed two significant facts.
One is that dieting. although helpful In many
cases Is far from being true cure tnat.
indeed many chronic sufferers from nightmare
continue to have attacks OF IL In spite OF every
dietary precaution
And. on the opposite it has been found that
many persons OF VIGOROUSLY weak digestion
never have nightmare. no matter how reckless
they may be In choice OF food
They may and do have serious attacks OF
indigestion. but not OF nightmare.
Evidently. therefore. nightmare has some
specific cause apart from the condition OF the
stomach. Psychologists have now definitely
located this cause.
They have found it by bearing in mind the
fact that nightmare Is essentially a morbid
dream.
Being a dream u necessarily is governed by
the laws OF dreaming, "a established by recent
scientific investigation
or tiese laws the most important is, that
every dream represents attempt by the

Wars Need of Zinc

In Europe the disappointment Is
keen over the long -continued and un'
interrupted hold which Germany has
upon Belgium. and the inability OF
Russia to lay an effective grip upon
Silesia. The occupation OF Belgium
by Germany Is the direct cause Of
the recent wild rise in the price OF
zinc. according to the London Stat

people in the most efficient and compre-
hensive way.
There is one thing that this city needs
more than anything else.
There is nothing of the sort in Detroit.
1t is place where a poor woman can
give birth to a child at charge within
her means and receive the proper care.
At present she can go to Harper hos
pital, but she cannot afford it; she can
go to the Crittenton home or the charity
part of the Woman's hospital, which
stand in her eyes for a class of women to
which she does not belong: but she can
not go to place where she can feel her
independence and selfrespect and give
herself and her child a chance for health
and happiness.
The only course open for her in this
big city is to employ midwife whose
services are most precarious. remain in
her own home, which is usually crampel
and unsuited to sanitary and scientit
treatment, and take her chances.
The fact that 100000 women die j
childbirth yearly in the United States
shows what her chances are.
AS our entire future depends upon the
children of today and as the greatest
number come from the poor. is it not
time that they should be provided with
decent, proper accommodations?
Would it not be a splendid thing if, in
the new hospital, there could be large
maternity ward for the relief of this
deplorable condition?

The country has been al war for
practically 10 months now. and yet
no class seems really to understand
the need for economizing. We are
spending two and a half. possibly
even three. millions every day We
are borrowing sums that would have
been thought utterly impossible and
incredible IL months ago. And yet
people are living as extrayagantly Is
they lived in the piping Zines of
peace.
There are new demands for re
cruiting. There are even hysterical
demands for compulsory service. And
yet We are told in the same breath
that the army is exposed 10 unneces-
sary loss OF life because there is not
a sufYicient supply OF munitions. And
people, for all that, will not recog-
nize that there 10 a scarcity OF train
ed men TO turn out the munitions
that are needed.
In the same way, while great Tor
tunes are being made by those who
are working for the government.
what may be called peace business
Is practically at a standstill. Even
the trades that We always have con
Quoted we are neglecting. On the
other hand. we are buying fabulous
quantities from the United States.
Argentina and other countries.
Debts are being run up In enor-
nous amounts, and nobody seems to
ask himself: How Is the bill to be
paid when the day OF reckoning
comes? We shall probably muddle
through. TO use the accustomed
phrase. But Is II not time that We
saw the folly OF muddling through.

The Law On the Prosecutor.
70 the Editor ~ The Times:
An interview in The Times of
July with Prosecutor Jasnowski
contains so many Inaccuracies that
we think the public should be en-
lightened upon the subjects treated.
with the statement that the duties
Of the prosecuting attorney are spe-
officially detailed In the law we have
no quarrel, but that other state
ment. that the police are becoming
expert IN preparing evidence. and
that no cases have been reported in
two weeks against Sunday violators,
indicates that the police are either
asleep on their Job or they are dis
couraeed by the requirements set
forth In the interview referred 10.
The statement that tho same evi-
dence n necessary TO convict VIC
lator Of the Sunday law that In re.
quired In blind pig" caso, Is
doubly absurd. and IL neither In ac-
cord with the law nor. with the do
cisions OF the supreme court.

these words occur: "In prosecutions

The above seems 10 us conclusive

Of the Sunday closing law. Since
tho above was written, we called
Mr.. Jasnowski on the phone and he
denies that the interview which he
gave was intended 10 apply to sa-
loon violations where the offence Is

We presume that he referred TO

LITTLE COMRADE.
BY GORDON A. DAMON

Little comrade, when you smile
All my troubles you beguile:
After all the days vexation
Evening brings full compensation,
Little comrade, when you smile.
Little pal. there's none so true,
None so loyal quite as you;
When the way is dark and dreary,
With your optimism CHEEKY,
Little pal, there's none so true.
Little boy, when day is done
l can count the battle won
If you sally forth to meet me
And with fond caresses greet me,
Little boy, when day is done.
Little comrade, when you smile
Life is really worth the while;
All my doubts and fears you Danish.
All my worries quickly vanish,
Little comrade, when you smile.

The Beautiful Adventure.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. b. Frank Crans)

IL is reported tnat the last WORDS OF
Charles Frohman before he went down
on the ill-starred Lusitania were: "Why
should we fear death? II is the most
beautiful adventure Of life:"
II was great heart said that. holding
itself bit aloof from the game, not too
entangled with earth's interests. For the
fine soul is always above his pleasures,
above his pains.
To the well-seasoned mind life is
pageant. What next? And will the
days scene and doings be tragedy or
comedy?
And at the end of the play there is
always that most aluring adventure
death
What does it mean? We know deal,
we have fat books of science, other books
full of figures; we have studied, probed,
tabulated, classified-go into the library
and see the Augean stables of our
knowledge. But we know as little of
what death means as the cave men knew.
There is that shut door. We paint pic
lures on it. We peep at the keyhole and
think We see something. But what is on
the other side no man knows.
Some day we shall each find out. But
they that know never tell. 1t is the one
secret that is kept.
Against that door pours humanity's
most desperate love and longing. As we
grow older the best of our friendships
gather over there. Do they still live? Do
they still love?
Against that door surges question
after question; and there is no answer
but the surf-roar where the baffled
questions break.
The great adventure! II is around the
corner from me. When shall meet it,
Today? Tomorrow?
IL wonder the day of the year;
wonder the hour of the day."
Our utter ignorance of what it means
has deep influence upon life's quality.
To know positively the future would
make us hard. Dogmatists, who assert
they know. and have made themselves
believe they know, lose a certain flavor;
for they have ceased to be adventurers.
The souls finest food is mystery. 1t
makes nobleness of mind. II gives GER
tain elevation to our view. 1t Is like
living always in sight of the ocean.
Every night the sky enrolls it's amaz-
ing panorama of mystery. What does it
say to the eyes that gaze upwardi What
sediment of beauty does it deposit in
wondering hearts?
These are things too deep for words
Somewhere in the subterranean caverns
of the soul there are stored the strange
wisdom we gather from the Infinite.
Every day Is a surprise. The one
thing Of which we are sure is the unex-
pected.
Each of us stands upon the prov Of
Today. an eager Columbus, peering into
the unchartered sea of Tomorrow.
What shall happen to us when we go
through that Door? What for us will
be the Great Adventure?
All know is that when | came into
this life loving hands had made plan
for me, a mothers breast awaited me, a
fathers care protected me.
And there, too shall the newcomer not
find home? Shall not love and labor
welcome him?
Whatever it be let us approach it with
stout hearts relying upon the cosmic
accuracies Of the spirit, the certainties
Of love.
Surely soul has gained much that has
learned to look on Death, not as the Great
Calamity, but as the Beautiful Adven-
lure.
