Lily-of- the-valley is one of the
flowers dedicated to the Virgin Mary
and Is also known as Our Lady's
tears.
Used for medicine
The ancients attributed great
medicinal properties to this plant.
A delicious, perfumed liquid was dis
titled from the flowers. which, it is
said, was remedy for nervous dis
orders. This liquid was considered
so valuable that it was kept only In
bottles of silver or gold.
In the Middle Ages, beauty doctors
prescribed the blossoms of the lily

and rubbed on the face as a cure for
freckles. In some English counties,
a superstition is found that the per-
son who transplants bed of these
lilies will die within the next year.

DREAM INFLUENCES
BY H. Addington Bruce

THAT dreams at times profoundly influ-
ence waking life, affecting the state of
mind and even the behavior is an in
teresting and important psychological fact
not nearly so well known as it ought to be.
Almost everybody has had the experience
of waking in the morning and feeling unac-
countably happy or unaccOuntably depressed.
Usually this is attributed to exceptionally Wig
orous sluggish action of the internal bodily
processes.
And usually, to be sure, this explanation
is correct. But sometimes, it is equally GER
tain, the puZzling mood of gladness or gloom
is directly traceable to dream influence. This
even when there is no recollection Of dream
ing.
AS is strikingly seen, for example, in the
case Of young woman under medical treat
ment for nervous exhaustion, having as Its
chief symptom a recurrent melancholy.
The specialist in whose care she was could
find no sufficient physical cause for this. And
his patient admitted that she had no adequate
justification for it in the circumstances OF
her life.
Hence it remained an unsolved problem
until one day it occurred to her doctor to
question her as to her dreams. She stated
that she often dreamed, but on waking could
seldom recall what she had dreamed about.
One morning, when she felt particularly de-
pressed, she was hypnotized and asked if she
could remember having dreamed anything the
previous nlght. Her answer was a detailed
account of poignantly distressing dream.
Dehypnotized she was quite without remem-
brance of the details of this dream Later
investigation showed, however that it was
a dream which often occurred to her in one
form or another, and that it was always fol-
lowed by an attack Of melancholia.
Dreams, in fact, have even been known to
give rise to serious conditions Of mental dis
ease! fortunately they seldom have such a
disastrous consequence. The moods thew Gre
ate, whether pleasant or unpleasant. soon
pass.
But dreams also influence in ways other
than the creating Of moods AS noted by Dr.
William S. Walsh, in his recently published
Psychology of Dreams"
Many people, have reason to thank dreams
for the restoration Of the affections of their
loved ones.
Sometimes, when one has been out of
sorts or angry, half-wish is made that the
one with whom there has been a quarrel
be never seen again. The haIf-wish becomes
the instigator of a dream in which the wish
seems fulfilled
'The dreamer is distressed by it, becomes
penitent and strives to atone by kindness to
the person wronged in thought"
Often, too, the grief-stricken are comforted
through dreams of their dead, and helped to
regain self-control Or dreams, again, may
stimulate to action leading to the realization
of ambitions and ideals
Dream influences, in short are so MANY
and so varied that an entire book might
easily be written treating of them alone And
perhaps some day such book will be written

THE OPTIMlST'S CORNER
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Some time ago I published in this space a
simple account coming from girl friend of
mine telling how brave her mother was when
she fell down stairs, cut her face and had to
nave 1t seWed up and iOdined by the sur
geOn.
I received letters from all parts of the
country commenting upon this, and two man
aging editors of newspapers remarked upon
the interesting character of the story
All Of which leads me to turn and ask the
editors of newspapers this question:
"Why don't you run an Optimist's Cor
ner?"
OF course, I know the answer, eve have
too many features departments and cor
ners' now. And fresh candidates for space
come in every mail"
True. I am not childlike enough to i'm
agine an editor needs anything to put in his
paper, and am we'll aware that his eternal
struggle is to keep things out.
But I shy my suggestion into the ring in
the belief that it is better, more interesting
longer lived and more attractive than the
other features in the paper
Reasons why:
1. News is usually ugly. Murders, scan
dals, riots and fires are news. People want
to read about them. But the most perma-
nent desire of people is Something Else
They all get tired of too much tragedy. Give
them one cheerful corner.
z. ASK your readers to send in an account
of the finest, most heroic, most beautiful or
most human act they discover. Select the
best. Give it three sticksful or So You'll
start something. Your readers will uncon-
sciously get the habit of looking for sunshine
and not gloom. And the first thing you
know you will cure the world of what's the
matter with it, if that interests YOU
3. Because it is unusual the idea will have
news value. People will buy your paper Just
to read this corner. Worried business men,
sad-eyed women, grouchy agitators and poets
with the bellyache will pounce with eager
ness upon one spot in the daily news that
tastes good
4. Ty it out on yourself Don't YOU like
to near of something particularly decent
somebody has done? I speak not of profess
s1onal uplifters. I mean the unexpected
the burglar who helps lame dog over
stile, the Jail prisoner who refuses to go out
because he is needed by his fellow conyicts
the 'longshoreman that risks his life to save
baby, the little woman that lies to keep
her worthless husband from being arrested
the traffic cop who wins city-wide fame for
being pleasant, the parson who dons overalls
and lends hand when one of his flock is
short Of labor, and the politician who tells
the truth and shames the devil
The world is full Of deeds that shine like
Jewels in the mud Only we can't see them
We don't look for them. And by and by we
get to believing they do not exist.
There's too much cynicisn, envy, pessin1-
ism, gripes, and gloom. It's bad for u.s. Give
us one corner where the light shines always

The Peril IN Forest Wastes

A CONFEDERATION destroying three
~ thousand homes would be deplored
the nation over as a disaster. But

her enough to build many times that number
of dwellings,? In a single Western State last
season the losses on this score, had they been
prevented and the material utilized would
have sufficed to house a flourlshlng young
city
Fires are but one among divers causes OF
the present-day forest depletion that will
prove calamitous if it continues unchecked.
Reckless and inefficient numbering destroys
millions of trees which, in the interest OF
that industry itself, well as OF the pub
lie ought to be saved. Insect pests which
could be controlled kill millions more Lack
of conservation and restitution policies IN
the individual States is perhaps the heaviest
liability of all. The waste must be stopped
and vigorous measures of reforestation in
augurated or the country's every interest
will suffer, and suffer intensely
In the burdensome and increasing cost OF
lumber and other wood products, in the re-
currence of soil-wasting floods in the loss
of misunderstanding areas, and in sundry
other ways America will pay dearly if she
goes on negletcing the forestry problem.
Comparatively a few generations ago our
center of lumber production was in the AL
1eghanies. Thence it moved to the Lake
States; next to the great pine zone Of the

that, what?"
So great has been the devastation that
mere stoppage of the waste will not suffice
for the emergency which is upon US. There
must also be demonstration. AS a practical
student and high authority points out, New
forests must be established, by planting or
by natural reproduction, to take the place
of those which have been destroyed. Rough
mountainous lands and poor lands not suited
for agricultural crops must be put to grow
ing timber under national, State, or private
ownership"
Obviously, this calls for thorough cooper
alton between landowners and the Govern
ment both State and Federal. 1t calls, too.

Commonwealth. None has better or more
urgent reasons to take up this important
task than Georgia with her vast AGRICULTURAL

servation.

The Cost of Industrial War
Fl some dark disaster in the sun should

F some dark disaster in the sun should
stop our industries for four-and-tWenty
hours. the event would be written down
among times direst chapters. Far heavier
however, in the waste it involved, than that
imaginary misfortune could be, were the Ell
fects of strikes and lockouts In the united
States during the year 1919.
Economists estimate the total loss at one
hundred and forty-three million, eight hun
dred and fifty thousand days of production
to compensate for which would require the
work Of four million, eight hundred thou
sand men for a month. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer Interestingly calculates that "a plant
employing thousand workers would be able
to offset this loss in about four hundred and
fifty years." and adds: I'VE cannot afford
strikes even if they are peaceful. The coun-
try is now paying in part in the high cost of
food Of clothing and of house rent for the
strikes and lockouts of last year. Some
means must be found for bringing the en-
ployers and the employed together before ire
mendous losses are incurred by both. The
zone of conflict can be greatly reduced if the
human side of the problem is not forgotten
The fundamental interests of both parties
to such issues are the same. Neither can af-
ford to ignore the others needs and rights,
because only by working together can they
prosper and serve the country's common

pie be not provided for, no one group can

1913, based on the normal rate of exchange
between the United States and France, of
$40 francs to the dollar. Under the pre-
vailing rate Of exchange, twelve francs to
the dollar, an income of $4,000 in France
is equal to 100000 francs, and the French
man pays $30,223 to his government.
For the sake of comparison, let it be as+

friend of Carranza and leader of a short
lived revolt against the Obregon adminlstra-
tion court-martial found the General
guilty" but at the same time left loopholes
for clemency.
AS things were ordered of yore, this would
have meant at best temporary release, with
a probability Of rearrest retrial and impr1s-

interest or fancy of the powers that were.
But now from the capital come instructions
to the local Chief of Military Operations that
the offending Gonzalez be set absolutely at
liberty" and the order concludes with the
remark that the Government considers it
self sufficiently strong in public opinion
not to fear that he will continue to be a
peril"
If these words are wrought into an actual
and permanent policy, then assuredly bet

government by laws a chance would be won

If he consistently pursues this course and
