 From the Nation's Business.
 Under the heading How Not to Advertise" the official Canadian Commercial Intelligence Journal cites. for the benefit of it's export readers, the following "example hor- rible" taken from present-day Brit ish experience:
 Quite recently the manufacturers of a largely advertised British soap (writes friend In Barcelona to a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian CommerciaD arranged with leading stores for entire win dows to display their goods. The packets of soap attracted considera able attentino, curiosity was aroused and crowds eagerly examined the novelty At the back of the goods were large advertisements of the peculiar merits of the soap. but all printed in English. Not one in the crowd knew a word of English, and the product was thoroughly dis cussed. Some proclaimed 1t a new edible Git was in powdered form), others an effervescing drink. whilst an elderly lady who looked and posed as an authority unhesitatingly pro- nounced it as a splendid cure for rheumatism. Sales have not been up to expectations.

Often the sleeper believes himself chased pillar to post Now and then he sees dead faces or head less bodies. have heard of one dream where row of naked corpseS, without heads, sat in judgment upon the frightened dreamer and like 8 man accused of crime he was brought before these ghastly apparitions to hear his fate. Experience and re- search have taught me that not the nature of the apparition. nor it's ac- tion, Is the fact to be interpreted. but rather the conduct of the dreamer.

 then the sign is evil and portends grave danger and the likelihood or misfortune that can not be warded off If it seems to him that the frightful shape finally grasps and holds him, even though there is no physical touch, the message is com plete and all struggle against fate will be in vain. But if. at the crucial moment, some manner of escape is suggested by the dream even though the nature of this deliverance is so indistinct as to make full understand ing impossible, then the period of peril will be short and no lasting consequences need be feared.

The Greater Love A NEW ROMANCE By VIRGINIA TERHuNE VAN DE
 WATER
CHAPTER xxxv
A NEW ROMANCE


 Kenneth Lang followed his phy- sician's advice and turned in But he did not sleep early. Consequently he was wide awake when Dr. Smith drove into the Grant gate with his young companion.
 Langs room was at the side of the house, so he could not see the auto- mobile standing at the foot of the front steps while the owner told Ruth good night. The invalid nut tered impatiently to himself as the long minutes passed. Surely Smith had spent enough time with Ruth Grant to allow her to come into the house and get some sleep after her strenuous day at the church.
 Thank goodness." the irate listen CT exclaimed when, at last, the engine began to purr. In imagination he saw the owner of the spruce little car bending towards Ruth for a final good night. Could it be that she cared for this dapper little doctor
 Surely she was too sensible a girl to lose her heart to such man Yet the physician had a good future ahead of him. He would step into Samuel Grants shoes-would become the leading physician in Southold, would, perhaps, have his office in this very house-perhaps, marry the daughter of his friend and colleague!
 Lang ground his teeth. If it had been Mir Hamilton, with his gentle manner, his kindly face, it would be different matter.
 Would it? The question almost asked itself. Would he. Kenneth Lang, be any more pleased at the prospect of Ruth Grants marrying the clergy man than the physician?
 He was too honest to lie to him self. While he liked Hamilton bet ter than Smith, he knew that the idea of either man as the accepted lover of Dr. Grants daughter was intolerable.
 It was because he, Kenneth Lang,

he unused Yet I am thinking of it as fine little burg. If any other man were as much in love as I am, I suppose l would consider him an idiot. But''-with smile from which the self-ridicule was gone, being in love with Ruth is different from being in love with any other woman in the world"

loved her himself-loved her so much that all other women in the world including his mother and Victoria Walsh. faded Into insignificance. He held his breath as he heard her light step pass his door, then go on upstairs.
 It was evident that she had al- ready begun her occupancy of the little room on the third floor. Her own room had been made ready for tomorrow's guest. She would not run the risk of disturbing it's orderly condition by sleeping there tonight. | She was doing all this for his mother, a woman whom she had never meta woman who was bound to dislike her.
 While Lang could not conceive of anyone's disliking Ruth, yet his mothers fear lest he lose his heart to the little country girl was enough to prejudice her against the object of his affection.
 He would have several hours alone with Ruth tomorrow. With child ish fear that the weather might in- terfere with the proposed drive, he got out of bed and looked out of the window.
 Not a cloud in the monlit sky There was no sign of rain for sev- eral days to come. In spite of the intense heat, the storm predicted this afternoon by Dr. Grant must be long way off.
 But it surely is hot" Lang sighed as he lay down again. "If it is sultry and close here, what must be in that little room on the third floor!"
 He would try to tell Ruth tomor- row how much he appreciated the sacrifice she was making for his mothers comfort. He was stabbed by certainty that the sacrifice was in vain-that his mother would not be content in the room that Ruth had resigned to her.
 'If only she were not comingi" Kenneth unused. "She is spelling everything. But she shall not stayi I will get her away day after to- morrow-if possible. It will be hard to leave Ruth-but easier than to remain to hear her criticised.
 "And, before 1 go. I shall, please heaven, have Ruth's consent to come back soon. Perhaps I may even have a talk with Dr. Grant that will give me the right to return often to Gear little old Southold. Strange how fond I have grown of this little town. Yet it used to seem regular dump to mer'
 Then he smiled in self-ridcule. He was telling himself that he was fond of Southold, whsR all he knew of it was this one home! He had been here for weeks, but had never set foot on the street since the first day when he had the happy accident that had landed him in heap at the foot of the library steps.

JOHN-A-DREAMS

Yesterday I warned you against attaching any importance to so-called ightmares," which, not real dreams, are caused by, mental or physical dis tress and have no slumber-meaning. Today l shall speak of horror dreams. which emanate from your subcon- scious foreknowledge of the future and which are unfailing messengers of events to come. It is, of course, impossible to put into words the in- numerable shapes which such pre- mentions may assume, or to recite the thousands of episodes and incl dents in which they may be nodded. can only mention few, hint at others and offer to interpret any of these visions which may disturb your peace of mind
 From the vastly deep,
 From the threat'ning clouds,
 There come to my sleep,
 Clad in ghastly shrouds.
 Belted with despair,
 Serpents in their hair,
 Shapes of fear and fright
 To disturb my night.
 Distorted humans. cripples, goblins.

sPIEsBRATEN

SPIESBRATEN
 A spiesbraten should be eaten when the man, the appetite. and the deli- cacy are all just ready for it. By preference the time and place is after long drive, up in the hills, with the warm sun shining lazily down on the camp. My first one I tasted at Oberstein, Germany, but l have eaten it since many times on picnics in the Rockies.
 The spiesbraten was brought to Oberstein nearly two centuries ago by some hunters returned from Bra gil to their native land. It Is a roast spiced with salt. pepper, and onions chopped fine, the seasoning rolled in and the whole bound together.
 Through the roast a double iron spit is driven (double because other wise the meat may slide on the spit and refuse to turn as it begins to ct ok). The roast is cooked over a hardwood fire for an hour and a half more or less. The fire is inclosed be- tween rocks upon which the ends of the spit rest when it Is not be- ing turned. A hot fire of live coals is needed.
 Properly prepared the spiesbraten Is delicious.
