Wish you could see into the future? Lifescope
says, ’’Meet a king who had that privilege!”
Continued from yesterday. One night in the second year of his reign,
Nebuchadnezzar had a terrifying nightmare, and awoke trembling with
fear And to make matters worse, he couldn't remember his dream' He im-
mediately called in all his magicians, incantationists, sorcerers, and astro-
logers, and demanded that they tell him what his dream had been. Then the
astrologers (speaking in Aramaic) said to the king, "Sir, tell us the dream
and then we can tell you what it means... There isn't a man alive who can
tell others what they have dreamed! And there isn't a king in all the world
who would ask such a thing! This is an impossible thing the king requires.
No one except the gods can tell you your dream, and they are not here to
help." Upon hearing this, the king was furious, and sent out orders to
execute all the wise men of Babylon. And Daniel and his companions were
rounded up with the others to be killed. So Daniel went in to see the king.
"Give me a little time," he said, "and 1 will tell you the dream and what it
means."
Then he went home and told Hananiah. Mishael, and Azariah, his com-
panions. They asked the God of heaven to show them His mercy by telling
them the secret, so they would not die with the others. And that night in a
vision God told Daniel what the king had dreamed. Then Daniel praised
the God of heaven, saying, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
for He alone has all wisdom and all power. World events are under His
control. He removes kings and sets others on their thrones. He gives wise
men their wisdom, and scholars their intelligence. He reveals profound
mysteries beyond man's understanding. He knows all hidden things, for
He is light, and darkness is no obstacle to Him. 1 thank and praise You, O
God of my fathers, for You have given me wisdom and glowing health,
and now, even this vision of the king's dream, and the understanding of
what it means.”
[Daniel was taken to the king.] The king said to Daniel, "Is this true?
Can you tell me what my dream was and what it means?” Daniel replied,
"No wise man, astrologer, magician, or wizard can tell the king such
things, but there is a God in heaven Who reveals secrets, and He has told
you in your dream what will happen in the future." To be continued.

It’s FEEDBACK TIME!
CHILD’S PHONOGRAPH AND
“TALKING BOOKS”: Della Dunklin
of Easton, Md., was looking for one of
these for her daughter, who has cere-

column, we received an overwhelm-
ingly generous response from our
readers, prompted by Della's request.
Pam Yates of Fort Hood, Texas,
wrote: “I too have a daughter with

GETTING WHITE UNIFORMS
WHITE: Many of you wrote to remind
us of the wonderful whitening powers
of “Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing," available
(if you can’t find it locally) from Luther
Ford & Co., Box 201405. Bloomington,
MN 55420 (612-881-1430).
Florence Darroch of Lockport, N.Y.,
suggests using 1/2 cup bleach and 1/4
cup dishwasher detergent dissolved in
1 gallon of hot water. Soak clothes for
1/2 hour, then put in washing machine
and wash as usual She cautions that
if the uniforms are nylon, the mixture
should be allowed to cool before
adding clothes; otherwise, it will set
wrinkles in the fabric. (Florence adds
that this mixture is also great for get-
ting formula stains out of baby
clothes.)
BEVERAGE CAN RE-SEALER:
Roger Weltmer, M D., of Beloit, Kan ,
was looking for a source of sealers that
will fit the new, smaller-sized beverage

Caffeine could be the culprit
By Peter H. Gott, M.D.
DEAR DR GOTT: Why haven’t you
written about headaches and the caf-
feine connection9 I discovered that
soda and as little as two coffees a day
could cause six headaches a day My
doctor suggested abstaining from caf
feine and things are in better control.
DEAR READER It's true that some
people are especially sensitive to caf-
feine, which may cause insomnia, irri-
tability and headache. However, such
reactions are not common in the gen-
eral population. In fact, many
headache remedies contain caffeine;
for some people the drug can actually
reduce the severity of migraine.
Your doctor deserves kudos for sug-
gesting that you eliminate caffeine from
your diet. The ploy worked and you
should shun the stimulant. Don't forget
to check the labels on non prescription
medicines before taking them; as I men-
tioned, many over-the-counter drugs
contain small amounts of caffeine.

Mix gelatin and water, making sure
all the granules disappear. It will
begin to form a clear gel, but before it
actually sets up (and when it has
reached the thickness you like), add
the vinegar and stir in well. This will
retard final gelling.
Store overnight and it’s ready to use
the next day. Smear thickly on hair
before curling. Also great for brittle
nails! Dab some on and it will set to a

Remembering the Maine
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP)—
Naval officer Charles D. Sigs-
bee, born here in 1845, was
commander of the USS
Maine when she was sunk in
1898 by an underwater mine
in the harbor at Havana,
Cuba.
After graduating from the
U.S. Naval Academy in 1863,
Sigsbee took part in the Bat-
tle of Mobile Bay and attacks
on Fort Fisher.
He was hydrographer of the
Navy, 1893-1897, introduc-
ing many improvements in
surveying.
On April 19,1897, Sigsbee
took command of the USS
Maine and survived her sink-
ing, an event which helped
touch off the Spanish-Amer-
ican War. He later com-
manded the USS St. Paul,
which defeated the Spanish
cruiser Isabella II off San
Juan, June 22,1898.
Sigsbee became a rear ad-
miral in 1903 and died in
1923.
Announcements of engage-
ments, and a picture of the in-
dividual or couple, will be
