but If you undertake to straighten
them, the dentist will have to keep all
kinds of machinery in your aching
mouth. for weary weeks. But the
Strengthening of crooked teeth and
pigeon toes and bent backs and cross
eyes is easy compared with the re-
forming habits, when they have be-
come set
Those who have looked into the
workings of the brain and nerves tell
US that, when we think, a certain
amount of energy is discharged in
the brain, and that energy goes tear
ing through the nerve tissues, making
path as 1t goes, and the next dis
charge of energy will follow that
same path, till all Of it flows that
way, unless we prevent it. Habits
make roads and roads must elwags.s
run n the right direction and be
be built of right material: Even when
a good road has been built, some
wrong thought may send a discharge
of energy In the wrong direction and
quickly cut out new path for the
feet of habit So one has to watch
all his life A habit will live for
ever, unless 1t is interfered with. AS
most of us get some undesirable hab-
it's started we are apt to have the
perpetual task of forming good ones
and reforming bad ones.
The great habit forming time is
when he is from five to twelve years
old The golden age of memory is
from ten to fourteen. DR.. Hawies
says that, If one wants to adapt his
muscular and nervous habits to the
playing of the violin, he must begin
before he is ten. / undertook 1t, aft
er | was thirty, and soon quit. At
twelve boy comes more under the
reign of law and of conscience and OF
his own intelligent will.
No one knows when some emer
gency may arise that will require all
the stores of strength secured through
the aid of habit. Down in Ludlow
Ky, a deaf old man was crossing the
railroad track when he looked w
and saw an engine coming upon him
They had given him the signal but he
did not hear and, coming around the
curve, they were not able to stop
He did not have time to go on ans
climb some steps up from the levei
of the tracks, nor to turn around and
go back. He turned a handspring
| backward and got out of the way
with few harmless bruises. He did
that because his muscles had formed
the habit of doing such things, years
| before. Every good habit the boy
tasks or ia the emergencies
