pRRcHANCE TO DREAM

Whether 1t is normal to dream constantly when asleep is Q question for conjecture. If one can recall dream, pleasant or unpleasant on waking, 1t indicates that sleep was not as deep as it should be. Sound sleep is dreamless so far as one re- members on waking.
 A dream is series Of thoughts, images or emotions occurring during sleep. Dreams are made of stun from the subconscious mind, that department of the spiritual being, the soul, the psyche which governs the vital functions and hence never sleeps. From the subconscious comes the germs of great poems, inven- tions, stories, the inspiration or de- termination that leads the dreamer to carry on in the face of rldlcuie or scorn until he finally makes his horseless wagon go or his crazy contraption fly.
 If you are so self-centered, so m. irrespective, so sinful, so unconcerned about the rules of hygiene and the ways of health, that you go to bed nights to toss and twitch and fuss and furne because you can't relax and go to sleep, why don't you try leading a different life? A life req sonably heedful of the rules of hy- giene, you know, is pretty likely to be a good life in all respects.
 Instead of idly counting sheep when you're unable to relax com pletely go through the Belly Breath ing routine, as smoothly and as ef1- ciently as you can. If your feet are cold they simply must get warm be- fore you can hope to drop of. The boost belly breathing gives the cir culation helps to warm the feet Or- dinarily, but if you haven't learned natural breathing yet you had pet. ter use some artificial means or warming your feet before you go into the B. B. routine-many poor sleeper discovers he or she actually drops off before the routine is fi11- ished. Send stamped envelope bear ing your address, for instructions for Belly Breathing. And don't try to argue with me about this. I'm tell- ing you-provided you are teachabie.
 Instead of dwelling on your busi- ness, domestic or social problems, projects or schemes at sleeping time, give your conscious guard leave for while and let your subconscious- ness take over. Go back in thought to happy 6oings of childhood-re- trace every step of the fishing trip, picnic party, visit to Grardna's place or attending the circus and picture each feature or incident you can remember. This sort of rever1e greatly aids natural sleep.
 There is a popular notion that it is unwise to take food late at night. Perhaps 1t is not advisable to take an excess of anything late at night, but a light lunch at bed- time corduces to better sleep ill many instances, especially for one who is not overweight. AS for di- gestion, of course we all do most of our digesting when we are asleep it is natural to sleep after hearty meal. q am speaking now of ordi- nary folk-people who are or should be under medical care should be guided by the advice of the physi- cian).
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Liver
 My mother has had anemia for several years. In spite of the treat ment our doctor gave her, her blood count kept going down every month :. I read in your column of the use of frozen liver, she tried it and, to her amazement she began to improve steadily and her blood count rose again to practically nor nal. Her doctor was as pleased as we all were. (Mrs. Mex. R.)
 Answer-So am I. It is not frozen liver, but absolutely fresh, chopped calf or beef liver kept in the refrig- orator, taken three tablespo or more once or twice daily, washed down by more cold milk. This way, if the liver is perfectly fresh, it is practically tasteless, and of course raw liver gives the full effect of the specific anti-anemia factor cooking destroys much of this factor.
