What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF CROSSING A
BRIDGE?

A1EARLY all authorities agree that
~ to dream of crossing a bridge in
dicates success in business. If you
dream that the bridge is in bad condi-
ton and that you are warned not TO
cross it, and yet do cross it, is a sign
that you will rapidly go onward to
success. If you have any difficulty
in getting across your dream bridge
and yet do so, it means that you
will successfully overcome Obstacles
thrown in your path. Simply to see
a bridge in a dream means tfat you
will soon be called upon to exert your
self to get the better of some private
difficulty or business obstacle. But
don't fall off your bridge of dreams
wake up before you do that. How
ever. If YOU should fall off, or be
pushed off, or be forced to leave the
roadway to avoid being run over, II
you support yourself by clinging TO
the structure it is still a good sign,
for 1t means the overcoming OF dill
culties on the road to success. Only
one authority can be found who re-
CARDS it unlucky to dream of bridge
the almost unanimous verdict Is the
other way-except that you should
not fall entirely off the structure. In
that case, or If the bridge collapses
under you, beware Of false friends.

pale memory which God has plunged
into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans
life is not in the past, but In the
DAYS to come, for our times are in
His hand.
And how many of us are waiting
for the opportunities of the coming
year? With how many Of us Is 1t the
unuttered hope that tomorrow may
be free from the sins and the mis-
takes of yesterday? l pray God that
for you 1t may be so. Your times are
in His hand, and let your Father
shape the new year for you; let Hill
rule 1t, and strive with the help Of
the Spirit to walk the way of His
commandments. Forgetting the
things that are behind, let us press on
for the prize of the high calling In
Christ Jesus"
The passing year also must remind
us that there will come last year for
each one of us. Perhaps this coming
year is your last. Are you therefore
ready to see the, curtain rise upon
eternity? Are you now ready to hear
the midnight cry, and to enter into
the marriage supper of the Kings
Son? Our times are In Gods hand,
and no man knoweth what day or
hour he may be called from his labor.
Though we live to be counted among
the oldest inhabitants We must depart
at last. Others have gone before us
and are going every day, and yet we
seem so eager to forget our own NOR
tally. Nay, let us rather look for
ward with anticipation, believing that
God will then give us a New Year
which shall be without sin and tears
and sorrow and pain, where love shall
rule, and where happiness shall be
complete In the fullest service to our
God.
The New Year bells will soon be
ringing. Do not fail to make some
personal preparations for its coming
Make resolutions for the future or
the basis of your experience of the
past. Every heart knows its own
needs, and its own weaknesses. BE
not discouraged by past failures, but
pray to God earnestly to help to flu
! ture successes. Take this New YeaI
as holy gift from gracious Father
and begin to live it carefully ant
prayerfully. Do not strive to carr!
the burdens of future months, but live
each day as If it were the last ant

NEW YEARS IN AMERICA.

New Year calls In, America, once so

though attempts at their revival are
frequently made. Midnight services
in churches and home watch" par

Of whistles are present widespread
forms of helping to usher in the fir.
day of the new year. And the burden
of everyone's song Is, "a very happy

Vegetables In the Diet.

Vegetables, raw when possible and
when necessary to be cooked, cooked
in steam and served with butter. and
small amount of salt and pepper
will soon build up a rundown con-

breads and cakes, and plenty of salad
plants and the body will have no need
of pills to keep it functioning.

MR. CHAUFFEUR IS

Queer Auto Regulations Might
 Get Hin in Trouble

Shanghai Sept l.-As a means Of Health Precautionary Association" :.n organization composed of leading Chinese of Shanghai, recently pre- pared a list of suggestions among which are several of enga ging nov city. The suggestions which were adopted at a meeting after lengthy debate were submitted 10 the nu- nlcipal council of the International settlement. Among the measures that the organization advocates are the following:
 All motor cars have rubber tired wheels and run without noise It is too late to blow a horn when a car has already collided with a pedestrian. A car should have a very small bell Jttached to one of the front wheels and this bell should tse kept ringing all the time so that when pedestrians near il they can get out os the way This bell should be haGf the size of q bicycle bell. Each car should have a speed limit, but the fire brigade, doctors and police motor cars should ie exemplified.
 "A chauffeur should wear brass badge on his breast. The badge should be three inches in diameter and should have his name and the number of his license in English and Chinese inscribed thereon. The badge should be issued by municipal coun- cil at a few taels each. Then a man not licensed will not dare drive a car.
 All motor trucks should have rails or iron chains around the cars to insure safety and in case of collision cargo will be prevented from falling and inJuring pedestrians. Cargo should not be piled too high to pre- vent danger when passing over bridges.
 There should be one licensed chauffeur and an assistant to take charge of each motor car or truck The assistant should sit behind and keep a lookout when the car turns around, goes backward, enters or leaves the garage. The owner of the car will not mind spending a little money in employing an assistant cnauffeur.
 After a person is killed by a motor car wax image of the deceased should be made and placed in a room and any chauffeur who cause injuries to others should be locked up in this room so that he will see the image end feel sorry. This may cause him tC repent. This has been introduced cessful results
