LAND O. DREAMS
FINE SERIES BY A. NOTED PSYCHO-ANAL

''Goodby, mother and father, /
shall never see you again"
Invoke with feeling of anxiety,
and the next morning when told
lit to my. husband, though we both
agreed it was absurd to be anxious,
yet he would write and tell the
boys we hoped they would never so
out alone after dark To, my sur
prise my eldest son, to whom ]
wrote the dream, wrote back ex-
pressing his great establishment,
for on that Saturday night he was
coming home over the mountains,
past IL o'clock; it was pitch dark,
and he slipped and fell down some
twelve feet or so, and landed on
his back, looking up to the sky.
However, he was not much hurt,
and soon picked himself up and got
home all right"
In this case, it will be seen,
fairly accurate reproduction Of a
the dreamer's mind. But the
case is also instructive, in that it
shows up the play Of the dream
er's subconscious mind. Her son
was not much hurt, as matter
of fact, but, seeing him In this
dangerous attitude, which was
apparently the result of an acct
dent, her dream consciousness in
ferred the fact that he had been
seriously hurt, and elaborated ION
it's own hook" as it were. the
dying message, II shall never see
you again" ..
Clairvoyant dreams of this
character seem to prove to us
that there is a dweller in the
bodily temple who sometimes
look abroad, and who is capable
of severing it's connection, for
the time being, with the physical
body known to us in daily life.
Such dreams seem to show that
the body is not, after all, the real
person, but merely a vehicle
through which this invisible
dream personality usually mani
tests.

Not nearly enough admiration

able quality possessed by the
human female On her ability to
recuperate. Man worships the
heroic virtues In man. But in
woman he worships the intangible
thing called charm, the fleeing
thing called beauty. Man hates to
concede that woman is his supe-
rior in anything, wherefore even
that well-known ability Of hers to
endure suffering he brushes aside
as inconsequentiaI, giving credit
to Mother Nature. Possibly
Mother Nature does deserve the
credit. Still, man has no quality

him from being proud Of the
physique that he inherited from
his grandfather, the brain that
he inherited from his father. or
the wit that descended to him
from some other ancestor.
So may women justly be proud
of their recuperative powers. For
these powers are more than physi-

FOR BETTER
HEALTH

" HE great program of disease
prevention now being car
ried on by a number OF
organizations depends for its COM
plete success on the whole-hearted
cooperation Of individuals.
Well, what can the individual
do to share in the benefits of
this program?
He can practice personal n.y.
giene. and there are two ways of
doing this.
First, the individual eau help
in erecting a barrier between the
infected and the uninfected; that
Is, he can prevent the spread of
such scourges as influenza, pneu.
monia and tuberculosis by the
judicious regulation OF his own
and other peoples Coughing,
sneezing and splitting habits, and
he can avoid the common use of
cups and towels-and encourage
other people to do the same.
He can also aid in the control
Of diphtheria. scarlet fever and
whooping cough by minimizing
the swapping of candy and pen
ellis by children. Finally, he can
wash his hands before eating
and furnish facilities and sug-
gestions to others for the same
purpose.
Second, the individual can help
in building up his resistance to
disease by the eating of proper
food at proper times, sleeping
with windows open, outdoor exer-
else and moderation in work and
play. He can also have early
disease detected In his own per-
son by an occasional examina-
ton, and at the same time Sc
cure valuable information as to
how he can better build up his
health.
Go to your family physician &C.

at least inspected once in
while, but your body is a far
