HOW NERVES CONTROL HABIT
System Must BE Trained to Follow
called.For Motions Along a
Certain Path.

Those who think habit is Just
something you remember-that is, is
purely a mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit is question of mechan.
les as much as the smooth drawing
of a piston rod.
Habit is the action Of nerve mo-
tons along beaten path. A muscle
somewhere in the body contracts and
a nerve moves because 1t cannot help
It, and so on until the process is
complete, and the thing we call habit
Is done.
There are as many Of these paths
in the nervous system as there are
habits. The impression which ore
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path Of the action ia
travelled over.
The first time the action is per-
formed the nerve centers do not awak.
en- their successors readily. For
this reason some things are hard to
learn. Everything that employs
great many nerve centers is hard to
learn, because the path must be worn,
the nerve centers trained to act in
sequence. Once they are trained the
habit is formed. The second call upon
them is easier than the first. the third
easier than the second, etc.

woman's Need Of Christ.

A woman should be a Christian for
her own sake. She is called upon to
bear many OF life's heaviest burdens.
She is acquainted with tears, and pain
and sickness. and bitter trouble. Did
Christ ever turn away from a woman
In need? do not wonder that women
become soured and bitter, and break
down under their burdens, when they
have not Jesus Christ. l do not see
how a woman can afford not to be a
Christian.
The story of Dorcas shows that II
the love Of Jesus is in your heart IT
begins to expand, and you are certain
to find something you can do for Je-
sus sake. A Christianity that is not
active is a misnomer. Faith without
works is dead" You are busy all the
week working for yourself; what do
you DO for Jesus Christ? / know that
many good women are busy all day.

viIln. the One Tine Pet.


Senator Lewis. one of the big
Democratic leaders of the Senate,
and the special defender Of the ad-
minlstrauon and more especially OF
its Mexican policy, made speech the
first week in August in which he adj
mitted that President Wilson was on
the point Of recognizing Villa as the
head Of the Republic Of Mexico, and
that this would have been done only
for the fact OF the criticism OF the
Republicans. Villa Is the only man
in Mexico who paid any attention to
any of the polite letters which Wood
row Wilson had written from time
to time, TO the several bandit lead
ers Of that country. 1t will be re-
called that McManus was murdered
in the city OF Mexico while Villa and
his gang Of land pirates were In con-
troll, and so. rather than have any
possible trouble at the time. he paid
to the relatives of McManus the sum
Of 10000 pesos.
And this is the only instance where
the relatives Of murdered Americans
have ever been able to get any at
tention or any satisfaction. Even
Lansing, secretary Of state, had de-
nounced Villa as late as June 20,
1915, as bloody-handed murderer
whose career of crime was known
from one end OF Mxico to the other,
and whom everybody knows as an as
sassin throughout the world. Think
OF 1t, villa, the murderer the liar, the
assassin for hire, hts character
known TO the state department nj
the very time that this admlniatra-
ton was about to recognize him as
the governing power OF the Republic
OF Mexico Americans should re-
member this also and should think
about il twice on the seventh day Of
November.

Ia a war in Europe.
Before the war four million men
were out OF employment. The trade
union leaders reported that one-thIrd
Of their membership were out Of EN-
ployment and the reason for this
unemployment was due entirely to
the fact that imports had vastly in
creased under a Democratic tariff.
The total exports from the United
States for the year ending June 80.
1916, amounted to $4,333,658, 900.
The New York Times, leading Dem
Ocratic newspaper supporting Wood
row Wilson, said In an editorial that
three-fourths Of these exports consti.
tuted war orders.
Our imports have increased by
more than billion dollars for the
last year. compared with the year
1912.
This means that II the world had
been at peace the men and women
required to produce a billion dollars
worth Of goods would have been idle.
