BON TON BURLESQUE
 AT GRAND THEATER

Lester Allen, chief comedian with the Bon Ton Burlesquers at the Grand theater this week is in line for top round. honors for versatility. Pos sessing an original line of mirth pro- Voklng comedy, this youngster during the time that he keeps in front of the glare of the footlights never fails to produce the goods, and it is a pleas ure to watch him work. Being funny and not resorting to some of the old time stereotyped. brand of humor, AL len keeps his audiences in convulsions by his quaint antics.
 Of course Babe La Tour occupies the attention of the greater part of the audience, probably due to her rep. but her work this season does not vary in any respect with that which she dispensed years and years ago. Babe tries hard to please and her ef- forts are appreciated.
 June. La Valley and Gladys Park CT work their way through several song numbers. and it will never be said that Mary Garden or Alma Gluck were in danger of being outnumbered by this pair. The usual lot of pretty girls and adequate scenery help to make the show one of the seasons hits at the theater.

What absolutely uncanny things dreams are!
 Some time ago I read an article which claimed that all dreams are the expression of either desire or fear,- usually subconscious. When sleep has slipped the leash from the sub- conscious mind, the desire or fear ex- presses itself in dreams.
 For instance, that familiar dream through which everyone passes about once in so often, that one is in a public place with an insufficient quota. of clothes, is an expression of our sub conscious fear that we will sometime disgrace ourself that way.
 Some Place I Couldn't Afford to Go.
 My own particular dream of this nature is that I am in some distant place to which I really have neither the time nor money to go. How did I ever come here?" I wonder. And then I think with true waking prac- ticality. Well, I had no right to spend all that money but now I'm here I'll do such and such a thing.'
 However. I think it is quite too large claim to say that all dreams have these two motives.
 
 Displays Itself in Dreams.
 Another interesting claim of the dream psychologists is that we would never do anything in dream that we would be incapable of doing in our waking hours. I wonder. Seems to mo I have. But it is amusing to see how close we run to form in our dreams. Last night. for instance. I dreamed that I was trying to rent a room in New York. They showed me q great big dreary attic room. That wouldn't do for me- I said but see here, what a splendid place it would be for four girls to live together" And then I launched into a full de- scription of how he could just clean up the paint put a yellow paper on the walls, inexpensive muslin curtains at the windows, set up four little iron beds. and get twice what he was ask ing for the room.
 All the Time We Know It Is a Dream Another interesting thing about dreams is the way We are sometimes conscious in the midst of them that we. are dreaming. I suppose We are not perfectly asleep then. II dreamed dream and I dreamed that the dream was true" says the poet I do that, but I'm more apt to dream that it isn't true. One night
 But perhaps that's all you want to hear about my dreams. Doubtless you have interesting things you might tell about your own. Send them along

When making bread with dry yeast begin the work in mid-afternoon.
 The water in which rice is cooked will make a good foundation for soup.
 Tile-fish is an excellent fish, which should be more popular than it is.
 When stewing very acid fruits a pinch of borax will correct the acidity.
 Odd pieces of fried bacon can be minced and added to the scrambled eggs.
 Irish broth is a good mutton broth in which vegetabl have been cooked.
 When taken off garments should never be thrown down carelessly, but hung up.
 A pint bittle of normal salt solu- ton is a handy item to have in every bathroom.
 With a vegetable dinner it is per- missible to serve a dessert rich in eggs and cream.
 Unslacked lime. sprinkled on tho cellar floor, will dispel any stale odors in the cellar. Sunshine will work wonders with mattresses and pillows which have be- come musty. Brush the, rollers of your refrig- orator with kerosene if you are troubled with ants. Hard boiled eggs. cut into fine pieces and put in the chicken soup, will make it rich. There is nothing gained by plant l ing vegeta bles before the ground is thoroughly ready. If the chicken is old. the best way .. to cook it is en casserole, and ta ! make it juicy add milk. White waXed paper and rubber bands make excellent covers for ba- bes milk bottles. Rice and meat cooked together in any one of many ways make an ex- cellent luncheon dish There is only one thing to do with suspected milk which must be fed to a baby--pasteurize it. Almonds will blanch easily if they are put into cold water and allowed to come to the boiling point.

A striking girdle is made of squares of jet held together by chains.

 Rose and gray are a spring com bination that is made into frocks on f1lmy materials.
 The white silk middy, with edgings of color, are a pretty garment for the little girl. A muslin frock that is made oI polka dotted muslin is yelled with navy blue nlousseline.

Grand Island, Neb., Jan, lS.-(Spe-

This amount was previously indi-

Don't ask for his name. Just keep
quiet and let him do all of the work.
He is the boss of the job. OF course,
if you have a gun in your pocket and
can use it quickly, that might help
some. When you are traversing a

EGG BOYCOTTERS MAY
APPEAL TO BRYAN
Consumers League Leadei
Believe Commoner Should Be
at Helm in Movement.
SAY HE'D WORK FREE

w. J Bryan may be summoned back
to Nebraska by the Consumers
League OF Omaha to help combat the
forces of evil that are boosting the
prices of eggs. AT meeting of the
league yesterday afternoon in the
city council chamber Mrs. Charles
Johnson, 1922 Fowler street, suggest
ed that statewide organization
should be set in motion, with the
grocers included in the movement.
Il would suggest that the grocers
agree not to buy certain goods on
certain days and then they would not
have to sell to consumers on those
days. We should organize through
out the state and get Mr.. Bryan to
start the organization, like temper
ance folks did, said Mrs. Johnson.
What Would Be Charge.
Mrs. Vernon c. Bennett head OF
the league and chairman of the meet
ing, suggested that Mr.. Bryan might
charge high fee for such services.
She admitted that Mr.. Bryan had to
live and that the laborer is worthy OF
his hire. Whereupon Mrs. G. w.
Ahlquist assured the assembled con-
sumers that Mr.. Bryan would be
pleased to HE back to Nebraska to
take up this work without making
any charge. No action was taken on
that phase of the situation.
The. meeting was called primarily
to discuss the high cost of eggs and
a boycott of hen fruit. The league,
the membership of which is 1000,
started an egg boycott yesterday
morning and will continue it till Feb
ruary |.
DR.. Catherine Bonaviez stated that
the grocer has his trials, and she in
sisted that the high cost of eggs and
other commodities was matter for
the consumers to solve among them
selves. "Just let the women say they
won't buy eggs and then ask their
friends to do likewise" was her sug-
gestion.
Bachelors Are Enthusiastic.
Mrs. Bennett said that a grocery
driver told her that he is no longer
permitted to look inside of the egg
storage places. She made the an
nouncement that the bachelors of the
city have joined the egg boycott with
considerable zest.
One OF the women ventured the
opinion that what the egg boycott,
movement needs is lot of sober, in
dustrious men to cooperate with the
women to make it success.

Washington, Jan. l8.-American
farm products attained a gross value
of $l3,449, 100000 in 1916, making that
year the greatest in point of value
Of any in the nations existence. That

and by more than $3,500,000,000 the
value of 1914. Crop production for
the year was comparatively low and
