Lack of Imagination The absence of a poetic taste is a sad indication of a lack of the imaginative faculty; and with out imagination what is life?— Richardson. Common Sense ' About Constipation A doctor would tell you that the best thing to do with constipation is get at its cause. That way you don’t have to endure it first and try to "cure" It afterward—you can avoid having it. Chances are you won’t have to look far for the cause if you eat the super-refined foods most people do. Most likely you don’t get enough “bulk”! And “bulk” doesn’t mean a lot of food. It means a kind of food that isn’t consumed in the body, but leaves a soft “bulky" mass In the Intestines. If this is what you lack, try crisp crunchy Kellogg’s All-Bran for breakfast. It contains just the “bulk" you need. Eat All-Bran often, drink plenty of water, and "Join the Regulars.” Made by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it is wise to consult a physician.

I was a new and much bewildered reporter from the sticks, tossed into the maelstrom of a federal court railroad case be cause there was nobody else to send except the office boy. It was as in telligible as a squirrel cage. The defending attorney loosed a gas at tack of statistics and my pencil dropped from my limp fingers. The judge,. a little, brown wheat- straw of a man with a chrysanthe mum thatch, got me in the sharp focus of his bright agate eye. I hadn’t been wrecking any trains or ebbing banks, but I began to fear the worst. I wondered whether my elaborate ignorance of what was happening could possibly be con strued as a federal offense. Then the blow fell. The judge gavelled down the spouting lawyer and said the court would take a brief recess. Then he beckoned me into his chambers. He asked me to sit down. Then he said: “I hadn’t seen you at the press table before. This case is confusing. I thought I might help you in getting it straight. It’s like this . . .’’In a few concise sentences he brought the courtroom hub-bub into something understandable. I managed to write a story about it without breaking my arm and got my first pat on the back from a city editor who was no spendthrift with such gestures. The voltairean little Judge Landis was like that, and any newspaper man who ever knew him will insist that his $65,000-a-year honorarium as baseball commissioner isn’t half enough. He was a corporation law yer before he began calling strikes on big business, and was appointed to the federal bench by Theodore Roosevelt at the peak of T. R.’s trust-busting rampage. In his dual capacity he has punished two of the major institutions of America, the Standard Oil company and Babe Ruth, the former with a $29,000,000 fine. He was a newsboy in Logansport, Ind.; a semi-pro baseball player; a stenographer and court clerk at 18, and soon thereafter a law school graduate and practicing lawyer. His appointment as national commis sioner of baseball grew out of the “Black Sox” scandal in 1919. • 'T'HE easy-going free-for-all of American journalism, in which public officials sometimes owe their high status to an understanding n a ti rj of newspapermen U. o. Has tage an( j how to get on On Europe in with them, has Press Relations g iv f n ‘bis country a decided advan tage over the European countries in wartime press relations. In the World war and now in the present war Europe has demonstrated the limitations of even the most intelli gent of its bureaucrats in co-operat ing with the press. While England and France have, traditionally, a free press, the human contacts be tween the correspondents and high officialdom are still lacking, and both countries are snarled in cen sorship troubles. At the start of the war, liberal opinion noted with satisfaction that France and England had appointed, respectively, to their ministries of information, a distinguished literary man and playwright, and a leading scholar. It seemed to be an exem plification of their war aims. But, like the brass hats of the past, they didn’t seem to understand newspa pers or newspaper men. The scholarly Lord MacMillan of England has faded into the background, and his press cen sor, Vice Admiral C. V. Ushorne, is replaced by the clubby and gregarious Sir Walter T. Monck- ton. In France, Jean Giradoux, the playwright, is still minister of information, but his office in spires bitter stories in the Amer ican press about fantastic re strictions. The censorship tangle is an issue of daily mounting im portance in France. Newspaper men liked M. Gira doux tremendously when he was spokesman for the French ministry of foreign affairs a few years ago. He was perhaps, in Goethe’s phrase, ’’all too human” for any careful grooving of public opinion—his own is ironic and whimsical—and has been surrounded with a bulwark of bureaucracy against which newspa per men are thrown for a loss. He is a charming, monocled gentleman of 53, who was severely gassed in the World war and so speaks in a husky voice. He did a short turn at Harvard before the World war. Kathleen Norris Says: June Brides Begin to Complain About Husbands (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.) By KATHLEEN NORRIS HAVE a crop of letters from 1939’s June brides and I wish all the fathers and mothers of the brides and bridegrooms could read them. Apparently young men and girls step into matrimony nowadays as entirely unfitted for the obligations of the new life as they were at the respective ages of five and three years. Strangely enough, they are all well-informed on the physical side. Forty years ago girls knew noth ing of that. They dreamed bashful dreams of the realities of wifehood, but nobody told them anything; mothers and teachers shrank away from the simple biological truth and babies were born in cabbage leaves. It is different today. In high school and college everything of that sort is discussed, diagrammed, ana lyzed. Not infrequently actual ex perimental love-making goes on. Old-fashioned mothers frequently appeal to me, sending me the text books upon which small girls and boys batten in our schools, but all educational boards are for open and frank dealing in the matter, Victori an reticence is “prurience,” and in fancy babbles lightheartedly upon subjects once reserved for the spe cialists. In all other ways the marriages of our young people are left to chance. There are no moral rules, no ethical rules to hamper them. The new wife expects to do always and in everything exactly what she likes; the young husband has never been crossed or disciplined in his life. When the first shock of their contending wills occurs it staggers them. They can’t believe it. They often decide to end their marriage then and there. Hundreds of di vorces ensue. It would be interest ing to know exactly how many take place in the first year; it is an ap palling number. A Few Samples. From these letters aforementioned I offer a fqjw quotations. They are typical of hundreds; some are de spairing, some humorous, some puz zled. “Mother never talked to me about how selfish and childish men are,” says one. “Not knowing a thing about budgets, housework, cooking, and marrying the dearest man in the world on an income of $1,000 a year, I’m in horrible trouble!” con fesses a second. A third wife is thoroughly discouraged, not because he is mean or drinks or doesn’t hand over his pay check, she writes, but he is so “dumb.” “He’ll let me set the table, clear the table, pull back the chairs, brush up the floor, clean the kitchen, wash the dishes and put them away,” she says, “without ever offering so much as to wipe a spoon. If I hand him a towel he does one piate, wiping ’round and ’round it, and apparently not thinking at all what he’s doing. He’ll sit backwards on a chair, chat tering with me, moving when my broom comes his way, but he never helps. In our room dirty linen goes on the floor, camera and films, ra dio, records, letters, books are all over everything. He’ll let me carry the picnic out to the car and up the hill; he never thanks or tips a wait er; at gas stations he’ll say, ‘Wash these windows, will you?’ and sit smoking and talking with me while some nice fellow works for us, not even saying ‘Thank you’ as we drive away. He’s always good-natured enough if I pointedly ask him to do something, but half the time he doesn’t do it. This morning I gave him his white shoes and mine and asked him to clean them, and when I went out on the porch he was First Year Is Difficult Forty years ago girls knew nothing of the physical side of matrimony. To day they are well informed. But in all other ways the marriages of our young people are left to chance. The new wife expects to do what she likes. The young husband is undis ciplined. They can’t believe they are meant for each other when the first shock of their contending wills stag gers them. The first year is the hardest, it is said. There is truth in this. The num ber of divorces of first year couples is appalling. making a sling shot to annoy the neighbors’ cats, and he went on making it while I cleaned the shoes.” That’s one kind of husband. The fascinating college graduate of 22 who married Elise last June is dif ferent. Nettled by His Stinginess. “Thorny exasperates me until I’m all but a nervous wreck,” writes Elise, from Wilmington, Del. “His father divorced his mother because she was so extravagant, and it seems to have affected him. I never no ticed it while we were engaged, but now he doesn’t want to spend a cent. Everything—our home, our comfort, the question of having a baby, is estimated in terms of cost. He asks me at dinner what the chops cost; wasted butter annoys him, and if some friends come in and drink up our cocktails and smoke our ciga rettes he gets wild at them. “We have a small income, but we’re not as poor as that comes to. I’d rather be in one room, and be happy and easy about it, than scrimp in a pretty five-room apartment. What to do?” Then there’s Emily, whose new husband, she complains, is “still just a bachelor. “He had four years in college, three in law school, and three in his own bachelor apartment,” writes Emily, “and I thought I was lucky to get a husband with no family to complicate matters! But Jim simply doesn’t get the idea of being mar ried. He’ll bring four men home unexpectedly for dinner, and when I look startled he laughs and says ‘It’s not up to you, darling. Tom here is doing the steaks and we got a lot of beer and Saratoga chips.’ “Then they proceed to get the kitchen into the most terrible mess, scatter cigarette ashes over every thing, use up every pan and bowl in the place, and presently they’re all playing poker in the dining-room, as oblivious to my existence as if I were a fly. The Sport-Loving Husband. “Jim sends me word he’s playing golf, won’t be home to dinner. Last week he and three men went fish ing; there were no women on the trip, but on the way home they stopped at Tom’s house for dinner and he wasn’t back until midnight. “Am I a fussy cry baby that this doesn’t satisfy me? My mother and a married sister live near, and I can always go to them, but I get ashamed of explaining what Jim’s doing.” These are a few of the problems. And over and over again comes the innocently surprised complaint, “The trouble is, he’s selfish.” As if we weren’t all selfish! Two-thirds of this trouble could have been spared by wise mothers; mothers who trained their sons and daughters in self-control and con sideration. Mothers who made it natural for them to talk over ex penses and plans, before marriage. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. HOLDING LIFE SACRED LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:27-31: 1 Corin thians 6:19. 20; H Corinthians 6:16-7:1. GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are bought with ■ price: therefore glorify God In your body. —I Corinthians 6:20. Moral action and right living can only be assured on the basis of right thinking. If our principles are right, our action will be sure and our life will be steady. Fundamental in our consideration of temperate living is a right understanding of life itself. Where did we come from? Whom do we resemble? What are the rul ing forces in life? To whom do we belong? If he gets these matters straight, any honest m«n will come out light in his life decisions. I. Man Was Created in the Image of God (Gen. 1:27-31). “God created man” — so says Scripture, and all the forces of in fidelity and unbelief have not been able to break down that simple statement. The creation story of Genesis stands and will stand. Let no critic of God’s Word, no spinner of human philosophies, however plausible, take that assurance from you. The important point for our lesson is the fact that God created man in His own image; in other words, made him an intelligent, i .oral and spiritual being. It takes a very- gullible person indeed to believe the theory (which, by the way, has nev er been proved) that man has evolved from some elementary sub stance by way of the animal into his present high estate. Man came from the hand of God ready to take dominion over the earth (w. 28-30), able to name all the animals (Gen. 2:19, 20), and above all, capable of fellowship with God. Little won der that God declared His creation with man as its crown to be “very good” (1:31). Remember that you are God’s cre ation and that you bear His likeness and you will have a high regard for your life. You will guard it, develop it, and above all you will commit it in glad surrender to God through Jesus Christ. n. The Believer Is Indwelt by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:19, 20). Redemption at the great price of Jesus’ blood not only makes the be liever belong to God (v. 20), but also makes his body the temple of the Holy Spirit. When the child of God grasps that truth, his attitude toward his body and toward his life which it bears is revolutionized. Since the third person of the blessed Trinity dwells in me, I will not abuse, neglect, or misuse my body. I will not take it to places where the in dwelling Spirit would not go. I will not use it or any of its mem bers to do anything which does not honor God. On the other hand, I will yield it without delay and with out reservation to the Holy Spirit and count on Him to empower and use it for God’s glory. The writer wishes to bear testi mony that when this truth laid hold of him, even years after he was con verted, it changed his whole life. It can do the same for every Chris tian who reads these lines. And what about the unbeliever? He can ac cept Christ right now and at once the Holy Spirit will indwell him too. Why not? HI. The Believer Should Live a Separated Life (II Cor. 6:16-7:1). We have fallen upon evil days when it seems to be assumed by Christian people that only certain individuals in the Church are called to a life of separation from worldli ness. Men seem to say, “The preacher? Of course! The deacon? Oh, yes! The elders? Yes! The trus tees? Well, not necessarily. Church members? Well, some do and some don’t.” It is felt that it is just a matter of choice or of disposition, and that the failure to live such a separated life is really no reflection on one’s spirituality. That erroneous view must have come directly from the devil him self. Christian man or woman, will you listen to Satan or to God’s Word? Read again II Corinthians 6:16, 17. Note the blessed promise in verse 18, and then heed the ad monition in 7:1, “Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, per fecting holiness in the fear of God.” As Christians, our response to such an admonition should be immediate and complete. The command and the invitation are to you, Christian friend. If you will respond, there will be a re vival in your own heart, and if all those who read these lines will re spond to God’s invitation and ad monition, there will be a revival in thousands of churches all over America this week. Why not? Friends •You cannot keep your friends un less you learn to keep your temper. And if you wish others to enjoy your company you must see that you ara a cheerful comDanion. .Ask Me Another A A General Quiz The Questions 1.

Scientists know that nothing destroys the delicate elements of cigarette fragrance and flavor like the excess heat of too-fast burning. Slow-burning Camels give more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack (see below). In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slow er than the average of the 15 ether of the largest-sell ing brands tested — slower than any of them.
