Swedenborg, famous Swedish mystic, who
believed that providence had opened to him the
secrets of life, death, heaven and he'll, was
perfectly sane" according to New York psy-
achologist.
The psychologist was given $1,000 to study
Swedenborg's writings for year and answer
the question, "Was he crazy?" His study
completed, he answers that he can find no in
dication that Swedenborg was anything but
rational.
But probably some people will remain un-
convinced. The borderland between genius
and insanity is shadowy, at best; and when a
man tells us that all the prizes of this world
tinsel frippery, and that the only realities are
the unseen forces Of the land beyond the stars,
we are apt to brand him as insane and ignore
him.
That is the fate of seers and mystics.
Swedenborg, who was born in Stockholm
late in the 18th century, grew up as matter
0f-fact scientist-an extremely level-headed
and advanced scientist, for that day. He was
civil engineer, an inventor, mathematician;
until he reached middle life there was nothing
to indicate he would be anything else.
But as he drew near to old age he began to
see visions. As biographer puts it, Heaven
was opened unto him.; like John on Patmos,
he believed that he saw the skies rolled up as
scroll, and discerned the hidden secrets Of

out exactly intending to, he founded new
sect, almost new religion; and, 160 years
after his death, 2 psychologist was paid $1,000
to see if he had not, after all, been just crazy.
And that-to be considered insane is the
fate Of all dreamers. We place q high value
on conformity. We are SO everlastingly corr

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator
Hiram Bingham Of Connecticut has
the most gruesome appearing office
on Capitol Hill.
His walls are covered with huge
cartoons, some life-sized, showing
Cinnamon being tortured and put
to death in all sorts of unfortu-
nate ways.
Bingham picked them up while in
China last summer. They are
propaganda cartoons issued by
Chinese nationalists and commun-
lists to illustrate their versions of
what foreign imperialists were
doing to the people. The tall and
handsome senator from Connecticut
says the style of the art is Russian
rather than Chinese.
The largest cartoon, covering
most Of one side of Bingham's in
ner office, shows a Chinese being
killed by a foreigner in uniform.
Another shows a Chinese enwrap-
ped by q serpent labeled unequal
treaties"s and beset by rat, q
tiger, a wolf, an alligator and q
wasp, representing other evils. In
another, our own Uncle Sam is
shown garroting China, whose head
is caught tight by a closing door
entitled unequal treaties"

Where Vienna Leads

When the great war was over every big city
suddenly found itself confronted by the same
problem-where to house the population. The
war had put stop to the erection of houses,
but it had drawn thousands of new inhabitants
to the big cities. Every big town found it.
self overcrowded.
Only Vienna has gone long way towards
solving the problem. There may be many
people who doubt the wisdom of the manner
in which the Socialist government of the city
has done it, but the fact remains that the
"Reds" have found homes for 10000 people
and are going, within the next five years, to
find homes for another 10000.
The method is simple. The municipality has
itself built houses and vast flat buildings. 1t
has become real estate owner on tremen-
dous scale. And to it's credit be it said, it has
not built miserable novels and unattractive
slum tenements.
The Socialist city fathers have sought to
give their tenants comfort light, air, modern
fixings and even beauty. Their theory is that
a workman who is contented in his home will
turn deaf ear to Communism and Bolshevism
and all the other "isms" that are poisonous.
They are wise in their generation.

The Eyes of the Brave

When Commander Klcnard u. BYRD sets out
on his airplane jaunt to the south pole next
fall, he will be running into dangers as great
as man can find in this carefully regulated age.
Yet he is having no trouble recruiting COM
panions. On the contrary, more than 200 men
have written him asking for places in his ex-
petition. There is no doubt that, if he want
ed to, he could raise force of 10000 almost
overnight.
Much Of this is probably due to the nature
of his projected trip. There is fascination
about polar exploration, a fascination that
must date back to childhood days, when We
read thrilling tales of hardy voyagers who
were locked in the ice for months on end, and
who struggled ashore over treacherous ice
floes and made their way to civilization after
incredible hardships.
But more potent than that, probably, is the
glamor that has invested Byrd himself.
In the middle ages, great heroes-all great
heroes were warriors in those days-swifty
gathered around them numbers Of ambitious
fighting men. There was sort of common
agreement that man could get the most out
of life by attaching himself to some famous
fighter, sharing dangers with him and as it
were, imbibing with him the same sharp zest
that life gives to the adventurous.
It seems as if the same sort of motive were
active now.
For they are glamorous men, these Byrds

seem that they have found some secret that
the rest Of us have not discovered. They must
have clearer eyes than the rest of us, so that
they can see clearly that the great prizes of
life are not peace and soft contentment, but
danger and hardship and the peril of sudden
death.
Length of days does not seem to interest
them greatly. They prefer to concentrate
their lives into brief episodes; by risking
greatly and daring greatly, they know that
they will live intensely and fully. The high
est gifts of life, for them, do not flourish in
crowded cities or in peaceful, sunlit valleys;
rather they are to be found in the darkness,
in the cold, over the ocean or down under the
world in the land of eternal ice.
And who can say that these men are wrong
Perhaps the 200 young men who asked Byrd
for permission to accompany him to the south
pole were wiser than we think. To face the
ultimate realities of danger and hunger and
death; to face them voluntarily, with smile,
for no prize but the consciousness that ones
manhood is being tested; this perhaps, is as
good way to use life as can be found.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. c. H. writes:
"On three occasions during the past
year / have been awakened from
sleep with numbness creeping over
me. Have tried to call for help,
but COULD not move my lips, neither
could l raise my hand or any part
Of my body for what seems like a
minute. l would appreciate it if you
you would inform me Of the cause,
and if there is danger of paralysis.
I am 80 years old and weigh
100 pounds.
Answer: The numb attacks you
have at night are probably caused
from nervousness and would be
classed under the name # hys-
terra. There is no reason fIr sus-
pecting you are subject to paralysis
because Of this but you certainly
should have a good diagnosis Aade.

of your nervousness.
Question: Illinois writes: l"I
have heard of an article of fNd
called enchilada, but nobody in tbs
part of the country seems to kn@
what it is. Will you please tell nj
also how it is made ?" I
Answer: The enchilada is q MeA
lean dish similar to the tamale, comt
posed of meat, highly seasoned with
garlic, pepper, etc., in combination
with one Of the meals or flours
such as cornmeal or pumpkin flour.
This dish is not unfamiliar on the
Pacific coast and in that area Of
the country adjacent to Mexico, but
is rarely If ever served in other
parts of the United States.
Question: M. X. B. asks: "Can
a loop in the colon be cured by diet
ing? What would you advise ?"
Answer: A loop in the colon can
be corrected through proper manipu-
lative treatment, supplemented in
some cases by certain electrical
treatments. If these treatments are
not taken we cannot expect diet to
produce cure, although one with a
kinked or looped colon will certainly
be in better health on well-bal-
anccd diet than when eating hap
hazardly.
