Certain Habits UnconsciOusIy Form
ed and Hard to Break.
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces-
sary to break lifelong habit would,
If 1t could be transformed, lift q
weight of many tons.
1t sometimes requires a higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead
forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A
lady writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood | was
a lover OF coffee. Before l was out of
my teens was miserable dyspeptic,

UNITED STATES
GUILTY OF WRONG
so SAY CENTRAL AMERICANS &M
PROTEST TO TAFT AND
KNOX
MOTE DISMIsSING NIcARAGUAH
MINISTER NOT INSPIRED
BY FAIRNESS.

Mexico City, Dec. 15.-Resolutions
zatified at a mass meeting of Cen
Gral Americans were mailed to Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Knox. They
declared that the United States has
no right to intervene in Central
America, and we affirm that the pur-
pose of your government is to CON
sunmate an offense against Nicara-
qua, arousing political passions and
taking advantage of the disloyalty OF
some Central Americans.
Nicaragua has grounds to consider
that the present revolution is pro-
NOTED by the government of the
United States and has perfect right
to claim determination for loss of life
and interests caused
IF the United States had sought an
equitable and impartial solution, it
would have accepted the mediation
offered by Mexico to solve the ques-
ton peacefully.
I'VE consider your note not inspired
by a government friendly to the peo-
pie of Central America, and protest
against the aggression which your
government is practicing against Mic
eragua. We call upon all our coun-
fsrymen to be alert respecting the
nominating and absorbing tendencies
OF the American government il order
that they act as the patriotism and
Independence of our FIVE republics re-
auire."

OAy Dreams.

II you have a particular piece Of
work to do, get it done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more pre-
cious hours wasted in day dreams
than any OF US would care to think
about II we counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
Is that so few Of them ever amount
to anything. The dreamer is only
semiconscious when building his air
castles. so. as rule. they have no
practical foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing. and do
not let 1t wander off to what you
would like to be doing. Only by keep
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can you bring it fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes Think.

ness takes the ledge" OF it.
The best time for day dreams is
