In every country of the civilized world

Certain Habits UnconsciOusIy Formed
and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
if it could be transformed, lift
weight of many tons.

gree of heroism to break the chains OF
a pernicious habit than to lead a for
lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
"From my earliest childhood I was
lover of coffee Before l was out

peptic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
