This the ajystics regard as a very favorable omen; oue which foretells success In whatever enterprise you have set your heart on. But If you dream that you, yourself, ire an actor, or actress, much hard work and many obstacles are before j you; all of which obstacles, however. | vou will overcome by persistent effort. Women are advised not to dream that they are to marry an actor for If they do their pet ambition will not be real'zcd. As to how a man should treat an actress whom he meets In the realm of dreams the mystics are not agreed. Some gay that if you dream that yon make Jove to an'actress all your future life will be joyful; while others declare that for a single man to dream this signifies that he is going to have a "lover's quarrel" with his sweetheart, and for a married maD that he is in for a row with his wife. Accepting the latter interpretation dream lift and actual life would seem, in this r? ^pect. to be closely akfn. Freud's dictum that every dream i# the fulfillment of a wish is easy enough to accept with regard to this dream; for all of us have, at some time, wished to meet actors ant > actresses and converse with them. But j it is not so easy to follow him in his i theory that this conscious wish of the duy would not have excited the dream had It not met with an unconscious wish which reinforced It, and that un conscious wish an infantile one. He says: "It may seem that the conscious wish alone has been realised In a dream. t>ut a slight peculiarity In th< | formation of the dream will put us 01 the track of the powerful helper frou; the unconscious." His theory Is thai all infantile wishes are indestructible j in the "unconscious;" always actlvc ' and ready for expression whenever I they find an opportunity to unite I theqiselves with an emotion from con- j scious life, and they transfer their greater intensity to the lesser Intensity of the latter, that In every dream some indestructible Infantile wish Is the dominating force. Of all Freud's theories 'this one has attracted the eldest attention and discussion. (Copyright.) Ill TUBERCULOSIS i i '"p* UBERCULOSIS Is caused by a llva. ing germ In the lungs. The body 1 of a healthy person will resist Its J growth aod may kill the germs, but In ) a weak body and without proper care the germs multiply until the lungs are ! consumed and the person dies. These germs are found In the sputum (spit) of a .consumptive? In 1 small numbers In the very early stages ; of the disease, In larger numbers as , the disease progresses, and In countless millions In the late stages. Among the earlieT symptoms which I one can observe, and which slioui(J I i?i ? .> ?? >? ?! (truu uijc txi uui'e lv luuauJi a yujai- j cinn, are: Slight cougb, lasting * month or longer; loss of weight; slight fever In the afternoon; nfght sweats; j bleeding from the lungs. Many persons who have these earlj symptoms of tuberculosis lose valuable time, and often their only chance of recovery, by relying on the promise* of patent medicine fakers and medical quacks. Don't take patent medicine* and don't go to quack doctors who ad vertise that they cure tuberculosis by some method known only to themselves. . , rv The Woods i SUMMERTIME.

Paper bootlaces made in Germany, CONGRESS TO TURN TO APPROPRIATIONS Speaker Gillett Thinks Readjust' ment Of Tax Laws Will Wait For Time Washington, Nov. 21.?Speaker Gillett of the house of representa* tive thinks the passage of appropriation bills will be the most important work done at the final session of the 66th congress which begins on De* cember 6 and ends next March 4. Mr. Gillett said today that in his opinion all matters pertaining to readjustment of the tax laws probably would have to go over until the special session of the new congress. t*?i:?: _ i rreuminary wore on uie Training of the appropriation bills for the next fiscal year will be started Monday by subcommittees of the house appropriation committee which will start hearings. Under a resolution passed by the house last June all appropriation measures in future will .be handled by the appropriation committee which will be enlarged from 21 to 35 members. Senatoi Curtis, Republican, Kansas, exui-cts to introduce an amendment to the senate rules providing that all appropriation measures in the senate be handled by an enlarged appropriations committee as is to be done in the house. FURNITURE PRICES MUST BE REDUCED Revision Downward Planned by the outhern Manufacturers At the Meeting in Asheville. Asheville, N. C., Nov. 20.?That pnVvpfnnfiol rorlnnfmnc in Iroam'nrr wifVl ouuobauwiai i guuctiviu ill ^**15 ??iv*i the general reduction in other lines should be made by the furniture dealers, was the recommendation of the delegates to the Southern Furniture Manufactures association which closed its annual meeting here tonight after electing officers. The cut in price, Secretary C. F. Tomlinson of High Point, N. C., stated would not be a series of low cuts, but one sure drop and that the new prices would probably be maintained for a period of several months, as the furniture buisiness is on such a footing that the prices do not fluctuate. These recessions in pricrs are to become effective immediate!} and represent every present ar^l anticipated advantage in purchase of raw materials. High Point, N. C., was elected as the most suitable place for a special session of the association December 15, at which time and place for the next annual meeting will be decided upon.

OPPOSE DELAY IN EXCESS PROFIT TAX Washington, Nov. 21?Recent suggestions that payment of the December 15 installment of income and excess profits taxes should be post poned were strongly discouraged to night by the treasury in a statemenl which declared that "no change should be entertained which woulc render uncertain the bulk of the gov ernment's tax receipts." Proposals for the amendment oi the revenue act of 1918 to permii postponement of the December in stallment and also for the extensior of the "net loss" provisions to th< year 1920 have come from variou; sources, the treasury statement said adding that "the agitation for thes? changes can only do harm." Discussing the government's finan cial program which, it said, had beer adjusted to the tax payment dates provided by the act, the treasury as serted that the December installmenl of income and excess profits taxes was not expected to exceed $650,000,000 and further requirements must be financed through issues of treasury certificates of indebtedness. There is no reason in fairness, the statement continued, "why taxpayers who made profits and became liable to pay taxes on the basis of those profits should be permitted to throw upon the government the burden of losses incurred in the conduct of their own businesses in the year 1920 The treasury must of necessity promptly meet the government's bills. If uncertainty is to be introduced now into the tax payments upon which the treasury principally relies it will clearly be impossible for the government to finance itself." MAY TAKE A RAP I AT POSTMASTERS G. O. P. Said to Be Planning to Remove Them From Civil Ser- d vice Today. ^ Washington, Nov. 19.?The latest V scheme announced by republicans is ? to revoke President Wilson's order "5 placing postmasters under civil ser- s vice. m Ten thousand more jobs loom large m for pie hunters and they will get I them if Normalcy has his way, but I he may be checked. j tiuim OilUXC, Ui LUC (JUUHlaj 3W)U of the republican national commit-' ete, said today: "Republican senators and house members are talking in plain and postive terms about shaking up the ppstoffice department as soon as the Harding administration gets into power. Not only do they assert that'the order of the Wilson administration of 1917 putting first, second and third class postmasters under civil service will be revoked, and the way opened supersede with republicans, but they say there thousands of democrat postmasters will be a general overhauling of the department and many reforms in the service." Democratic leaders and civil service reformers will bite off more than they can swallow if they undertake to remove the postmasters from the civil service. During the campaign of 1916 President Wilson and Cahrles E. Hughes promised the people to put the postmasters under civil service regulations and the President kept his promise at the first opportunity. The national civil service reform league was behind that proposition and is I now ready to fight to continue it. ' More than 10,000 jobs, are involved. ' Civil service experts assert that the revocation of that order would mean ja revolting to the rankest practice of <| the spoils system. !; Friends of the President said today \i that the republicans cannot point to ;jj a single case in which the civil ser- jjj vice rules were abused. They assert jlj that the regulations have been lived !;! up to. * ;) SEEK EXTENSION OF ;j TIME FOR PAYMENT - jj OF INCOME TAXES || Washington, Nov. 20.?If Secre- ;j | tary of the Treasury Houston will rec- ; ommend emergency legislation ex- < tending the time for payment of the j fourth income and excess profits tax I | installment due December 15, it will ;j I be passed with great speed, according ;j ' to members of congress now arriving ; in Washington. j Suggestion of such legislation fol- !; lows appeals to the internal revenue division from merchants and manu| facturers in many sections of the jl country for relief on account of the !: repsent slump in commodity price. !; Those in the silk and textile business ;j appear to be most seriously affected, ; although practically every line is included. Congress convenes on the first Mon- ] day in December and the final install- J ment of the tax is payable less than I [. two weeks after that date.
