SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoU, If a day-dreamer-and all
i of US grown.ups have more or
less of that tendency--are liable
to build up state of affairs that
has no foundation in fact. When
you do this and act upon the
result you put yourself at the
mercy of mere phantasy.
But there are phantasies and
phantasies.
The rule that phantasy should
have no part in grown,up life Is
probably good one. We should
be people Of facts. not ficsiJn of
action. not dreams.
There Is, however. an important
exception. That Is constructive
phantasy.
The tests for whether day.
dream is harmful or useful are:
Does it lead to anything" rs
1t something can make?" Does
it belong to the past. or am I pre-.
pared to try and realize it in the
future?"
A phantasy of this kind Is
vitality necessary. No real creative
work can be done without it. On
the other hand an idle phantasy
is danger and snare. But a
phantasy that can be turned into
an ambition is a mine of gold.
Never dream or. rather. never
keep on dreaming things which
you do not mean to try to do.
We all need rest and recreation.
We need to get away from life
for short periods. We do this so
that we can use life better when
we come back to hard everyday
things. Phantasy Is the air
cushion we take with us through
life, but it is only permissible if
we use 1t as an air cushion. rot
as the solid seat on which the air
cushion rests. When it becomes
a refuge from realities of life, the
hiding place for the coward and
shirk, 1t is the devil himself. And
just there is the danger Of
phantasy-the danger of contract
ing the day-dreaming habit IN
childhood.
The day-dreaming child is not
one to be admired. He is not one
to be envied. He is one that
badly needs to be helped. 1t is
no good telling him not to dream.
Ii you want to help you must
find out why he dreams. The
answer is always the same: He
is running away from unpleasant
reality. He is frightened of life.
Perhaps the father is the wrong
sort and sets too terrifying a

happy at school and is expected
to do too rigid examinations.
to do too much home study, to
do too many chores or to do
other things for which it has not
the ability. Whatever the trou-
BILE is, it is always worth finding
out.
The habttual day-dreaming child
is definitely abnormal. 1t Is Just
this type that later on develops
dementia precox, or definite ju.
venile insanity. Day-dreaming
does not cause insanity, but the
conditions which cause the day
dreams may. 1t is never by any
means certain that the child will
grow out Of the day.dreaming
habit. The chances are that he
will not.
These children will probably
say. II you can get them to talk,
that, in effect. they prefer their
dreams because life is such a dull
business. The best way to treat
them is to prove 10 them how no.

ners. But doesn't understanding
come through that very bother
and boredom. and can it possibly
come any other way? Can we
learn patience II all cause for
impatience is eliminated? Can
We learn tenderness il we are
not responsible for each others
hurt? Or loyalty If there's no
penalty attached to disloyalty?
Or courage, il papa buys off

Their pride will carry them
through, even If they don't have
to face hardships." comes the
answer.
But where are they going to
get their pride? Pride doesn't
arrive spontaneously, like wisdom
teeth. Conceit--yes. We're chock
full of conceit from the day we
blow our first bubble. But pride's
something different. Pride is Big
Medicine. We must struggle and
endure before we evolve a pride
which will carry us through
stress and storm. Who's going to
have pride IL papa does all the
struggling and enduring?
Now comes the last argument
in Mr.. Haldeman.Julius's own
words. 1--WE know young people
have emotional interests many
years before the average marriage
can take place. Certainly the
average young person today is
not going to disregard them
quietly and unnaturally.
How much better, therefore,
for them to marry when love
prompts, and permit them to live

"Companionate marriage" they
call it. But can this sort of thing
possibly become marriage? Or
is it merely an emotional lollipop
and will these young people throw
IT. aside when they tire of its
flavor?
Yes, / admit we must try new
things. Life forces them upon us.
The customs which serve for one
generation will not serve for the
next. The morality OF 1927 can.
not possibly be the morality of
1927. Times and economics
change and laws must change
with them. BUT BEHIND ALL
CHANGING LAWS LOOMS THE
FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF
GROWTH WHICH NEVER
CHANGES, THAT OLDEST LAW
WHICH SAYS: "IF YOU WOULD
LIVE YOU MUST PAY YOUR
WAY. YOU CANNOT GET
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING"
That's the law for every living
thing. 1t is the law for potatoes
and pigs as we'll as men. 1t was
the law for the cave man--and
for a Christ. Growth cannot come
without struggle. HAPPINESS
AND HARMONY CAN'T BE
30 u G HIT OR BESTOWED.
THEY MUST BE EARNED.
NO new law can endure which
does not recognize that funda.
mental law. No custom can prove
profitable which is not based on
1t.
Now comes this new conception
OF marriage. Marriage without
joint responsibility, marriage
which avoids risks.
Can 1t be done? Have we at
last devised way to beat the
law? Can young people enter
into the pride and satisfaction,
the happiness and loyalty of

DISASTROUS YEAR BEING PREDICTED

 An early winter preceded by kill ing frosts, more tornadoes. a series of violent West Indian hurricane s some of which may ''iNal i'll iLtcrs!ty the Florida hurricane of last Sep tember, severe nall storms, cloud cool summer are among Browns predictions.
 The period from June 2S to July 2 will see heavy frosts in portions of the corn belt and as far south as the Ohio and Totomac rivers, ex- tending to the Atlantic seaboard. Brown warns. This will be fol- lowed by 'very dangerous frtsts' from July until July II over the same sections.
 Brown prophecies the corn crop for 1927 will probably he the worst on record: the apple crop will be the smallest in many years: and late spring frosts and other severe weather abrormalities will cause great damage to other crops.
 There will be abnormal heat. particularly and rrjndy during July and August: but for the larger areas of the United States and Canada and for a large majority o. their ropu- lation 1927 will be written down as a memorably cold dry year." he forecasts.
