You Swear Off.

The constipation habit is In many
respects like inebriation. No one who
has long depended on physic, enema or
other artifice of this sort can expect
to be restored to a natural or normal
state Of health without struggle, and
where there's only a feeble will for lib
erty there Is a CORRESPONDENCE poor
prospect for victory. AS many chronic
victims of the habit have discovered,
it is not possible to recover by the
tapering of process, nor by the SUBJ
stitution of one kind of interference
for another.
Years ago such medicines as cascara
sagrada were introduced with the fatu-
Gus suggestion that victims Of chronic
constipation could switch from what
ever purgative medicines they had reg
ularly taken to this new one, and then
gradually taper of the daily dose of
the new laxative, until ultimately they
found cure. OF course, this was
nonsense. No one ever recovered from
on physic. It Is quite as futile to hope
that any of the newer substitutes will
rescue the physic habitue from his
plight. I'll mention Just one of the
newer substitutes for physic. because
it Is homely, cheap and I have rec
commended it to many. It is a daily
dose of a teaspoonful or two of plain
whole raw flaxseeds, either washed
down with a drink of water, or Swal-
lowed mixed with jelly. fruit or
cereal. I mention this homely remedy
here because I find the flaxseed route
is an easier one for some victims of
the constipation habit to follow in
their break for liberty. It Is some
thing like the wooden cigar some in
veterate cigar smokers like to have in
pocket or in mouth when struggling
with the tobacco habit.
It is quite essential that the victim
Of constipation habit clearly under
stands that the mechanism for the con-
troll and regulation of the bowel is
wholly automatic and in no degree
under the control of the conscious will.
Interference of one kind or another is
more or less under the control of the
will. If you can restrain the interference,
even after long years of habitual intem-
perance the automatic action of the
bowel will go on as normally and as
smoothly as though there had never
been any interference. You must
grasp tie significance of this, for 1t
contributes toward the assurance and
confidence you must feel If you are to
win the battle with habit.
There Is no such thing as q bad
habit of heart beat, for instance, be-
cause the heart beat is entirely con-
trolled by involuntary, unconscious
mechanism; but there is such thing
as a bad habit interfering with the
heart beat control-and the only rem
edy for that is the correction Of the

A man stalled his car at an impor-
tant intersection. A policeman imme-
diately appeared on the scene and the
driver expected the usual bawling out.
Much to his surprise the policeman ac-
tually smiled and offered to help the
man start his car. The driver was so
dumfounded that he later sent the po-
liceman a note Of thanks inclosing
$40 bill.
OF course there are great many po-
licemen who are not gruh and ABUSIVE,
but there are enough OF them who
stand ready to take OF your head at
the slightest infringement so that the
public has come TO look upon them as
typical.
1t is partly our fault. We expect po-
licemen to be rough and abusive. From
early childhood We have been trained
to fear the policeman. Some mothers
tell their children that If they do not
do as they are told. the policeman VIII
get them. The policeman serves as a
convenient boogiemaIl.
7 Moreover. the police are in the busi-
<sss of dealing with lawbreakers, who,
as a class, are anything but kind and
gentle and considerate. They are a
hard lot and only harsh methods are
invited and suggested by their own con-
duct. They look upon the police as
their natural enemy. 1t is to be ex-
pected that the police should take a
similar attitude of hostility. This be-
comes an attitude on the part of the
policeman and he appears to be gruh
and abusive to all who come under his
power.

Strange was the correspondence that

Strange was the correspondence that
passed between John Wesley, the
founder Of Methodism, and Emanuel
list, philosopher and seer, who estab-
lished the Swedenborgian Church.
1t took place when Swedenborg had
reached the ripe age of'84. Long since
he had become one Of the most famous
figures OF Europe, which he had startled
again and again by his uncanny clair
voyance and divinations. He was
equally well known in London, Paris,
Berlin, Dresden, Amsterdam, Copen-
hagen and Stockholm.
wide, too, was the fame Of wesley.
And 1t was not unusual that Whell the
aged Swedenborg came to London in
what was to prove his final visit, the
great preacher and teacher should have
desired to meet him. The strange
thing was that he should not have in
formed the visitor of his wish. But this
he did not do.
Swedenborg in this late descent upon
the British metropolis seemed as active
and energetic as ever, which is saying a
great deal when the all-embracing in
terests Of his life are considered. But
after he had settled himself in lodg-
ings with two old friends, a wignaker
and his wife, dire thing happened
With the happy Christmas season at
hand, he suddenly fell a victim to
paralysis. For three weeks he lay un-
conscious.
1t was during this period probably
that John Wesley thought most often
Of him. But apparently the great di-
vine did not mention his wish to
single SOUL
Nevertheless, his wishes reached
Swedenborg. When at the expiration of
three weeks the philosopher regained
consciousness one of his first requests
was for pen and paper. He sent this
note to Wesley:
Great Bath Street.
"Coldbath Fields.
February. 1872.
"Sir: I have been informed in the
world Of spirits that you have a strong
desire to converse with me. / shall be
happy to see you If you will favor me
with visit.
II am sir. your humble servant,
''EMAN. SWEDENBORG."
Mr.. Wesley was in the presence Of
several of his preachers when this mis-
sive was delivered to him. He passed
1t about, and then, according to one e.
the company, Rev. Samuel Smith
frankly acknowledged that he haG
been very strongly impressed with TIL
desire to see and converse with Sweden
borg, but that he had never mentione-
that desire to any one"
1t so happened that Mr.. Wesley we

six-month journey, and was very much
occupied in preparing for 1t. He was
unable to accept Swedenborg's cordial
invitation, but wrote in reply that he

return to London
At this point occurred the strangest

A Sermon for Today
Formulas for Happiness.
ny REV. JOHN \. aUnN.

Text: Happy shalt thou be-
Psalms, cxxviii2.
M. Edison, asked in recent inter-
view to give his formula for happiness,
replied. II do not know any one who
Is happy" Perhaps what he meant
was that he did not know any one who
was satisfied with his Attachments and
achievements Surely MIR. Edison can
not believe that there are no happy
people. According to Henry Ford, one
OF his closest friends, he himself Is
one Of the happiest Of men. We may
not know any satisfied people. but we
do know plenty OF people who have
attained high degree Of happiness
and contentment.
While Mr.. Edison dlsclaimed having
any formula for happiness, we are sure
he must have one Of some sort; II
what Mr.. Ford says of him Is true.
Anyway, there are certain well defined
formulas that do make for happiness,
Is many can testify from their own
experience The best ones ] know any
thing about are those contained in the
Bible. II anybody doubts that 1t is
possible for o man to be happy In this
life, let him try out the following Bible
rules:
He that keepeth the law, happy Is
he"
"rIe that hath mercy on the poor,
happy Is he"
Happy Is the man that findeth
wisdom, and the man that getteth
understanding"
HE that handleth a matter wisely,
shall find good: and whose trusteth In
the Lord, happy Is he.'
Blessed Is every one that feareth the
Lord: that walketh in His ways. For
thou shalt eat the labor in thine hands:
happy shalt thou be-"
The practice of these rules never
fails to bring happiness "1f ye know
these things, happy are ye II ye do
them"

A man wrote recently asking how
much it cost the Government to operate

tons repeatedly appeal to him for a

He also handles the thousands of re-

In his AZ years of service Page has
come in intimate contact with almost
every figure of national Importance
His experiences have been varied.
For example, there is the time when
the upSetting of an ink stand on his
head by the Speaker of the House broke
the tension of a heated session and
caused belligerent Representatives to
regain their good humor.
This incident occurred while Carlyle
was Speaker and Page was minor
clerk. The House was in bad temper
and the situation was rapidly getting
out of the Speakers control. Vainly
did he bang his gavel for order. During
the incessant hammering an ink stand
was Jared off the desk on Pages head
and Summer suit. So ridiculous did he
appear with ink streaming down his
face that the Representatives forgot
their bitterness and roared with
laughter.
Speaker Carlyle gave Page $40 for a
new suit and thanked him for accom-
plishing what he had failed to do.
