HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits UnconsciousIy Formed
and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces.
sary to break lifelong habit would,
II 1t could be transformed, lift weight
of many tons.
It sometimes requires higher de-
gree of heroism to break the chains of
a pernicious habit than to lead for.
Iorn hope in bloody battle. A lady
writes from an Indiana town:
From my earliest childhood was
lover of coffee. Before was out of my
teens l was a miserable dyspeptic, sui.
fering terribly at times with my stom-
ach.
II was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
I could not deny myself a cup Ior
breakfast. At the age of sc was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me was in danger of becoming
q coffee drunkard.
''But never could give up drinking
coffee for breakfast, although it kept
me constantly i'll, until tried Postum.
Z learned to make it properly according
to directions, and now we can hardly
do without Postum for breakfast, and
care nothing for coffee.

upon you! Shamey! Remember
grandma is not so young as she once
was and the penitential efficiency of
a bunion is greatly enhanced by the
showing forward of the foot as accom-
plished by the French heel. Command
the old lady to do a cake-walk once
an hour around the dining room table
if you will, but let her do it in CON-
Portable shoes. Another item in favor
of trying this resolution is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn't like, so it should be that
ton not to do so.
For young mani resolve from
this day never again to smoke pipe
in church This sample is highly
recommended. The practice against
which you issue the edict of Danish
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking, while of course it
might be a solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
| preacher is unable to see whether all
| the deacOns are awake or not by the
| haze from your pipe. Moreover, just
as distinguished statesman once Of
ficially declared that the odor of
! cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of pipe is
nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these. Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar
rested or something.
For men who ride much in street
cares "henceforth will not mind the
feathers" This is one requiring con-
siderable care-but if strictly adhered
to will be found of great assistance in
your daily life. When depending from
a strap and resting your toes on some
neighbours long stiff quill suddenly
jabs you in the nose giving to that fea-
ture the rich red that which another
class of resolvists have already &C.
quired, do not release your temper.
Smile and pretend you like it. Oft
times you can make yourself believe
it, after due practice, of course. But
| Inc principal advantage " Ue Clleu Ill
this resolutions favor is that 'you
might just as WELL" So long as the
fashion remains the same you will
have your daily communion with the
tail feathers of an ostrich or of a
rooster and if you resolve not to mind.
how much more placid the temper!
For any one who does not raise
chickens-"I hereby resolve and de.
termine not to eat any more strictly
fresh eggs for several weeks to
come" This is in some respects the
prize resolution. It's advantages are
many, but all the others are over
Swallowed by this one-you can't get
any to eat.

The practice of resolving sresents

these he is doing in this very

and mighty faith. He has discov-
cred that his own commission vsr

This Is the note, surely, as civil
lization faces the year 1910-the
note of competency, the sense of
added powers to life, the feeling
that the greater things are coming
on the earth, and that man is us
ing the key to unlock the treasure

ness and a wisdom that give prom
Use of vastly better, richer, juster

Another note of our time is the
fact that life mirrors itself in such
a wonderful way and the things
and forces that make for the bet
ter day to be are known and read
of all men. We live in the open,
and no man may become champion
of any cause and keep the world in
ignorance of the character of the

pionship. No man to-day may hide
his light under bushel. It is a
tell-tale world, and, more than any
past time, the world to-day has a
juster sense of values and knows
both the things that are saving 1t
and the things also that threaten
and endanger it. Public service
was never so responsible as it is
to-day, because civilization never
had the almost miraculous power
of analysing and testing the value
of public service as in this present
year. Public life is an open book
and the most impossible of all i'm
possible things to-day is that any
national or international movement
should be misunderstood or misin

And what is true of public move
