"Uncle Sam"

The application of the term Uncle
Sam" to the United States had it's be-
ginning in Troy, N. Y, during the war
OF 1872. A commission contractor OF
Troy, named Ebert Anderson, had q
shop in which the stocks were always
examined and passed by a government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as uncle Sam"
When the boxes were passed they
were always marked with the initials
of the contractor and the nation, "EA-
U.s." One day the man who was doing
the marking was asked what the ini-
tials stood for, and replied, jokingly.
that they were the initials of the con-
tractor and of uncle SAM" The joke
spread among the men, got into print,
and long before the end of the war
had become known all over the coun-
try. Mr.. Wilson, the original uncle
SAM" died in Troy in 1854.

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, IL
purely a mental proposition, are mis-
taken. Habit is a question of mechan-
les as much as the smooth drawing
of a piston rod.
Habit Is the action Of nerve mo-
lions along beaten path. A muscle
somewhere In the body contracts and
a nerve moves because 1t cannot help
1t, 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 one
nerve center receives awakens another
and the whole path Of the action IT,
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 a
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.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why Is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapact
tated by illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
half-sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which 1t accumulates under our, pres
ent mode OF living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as It is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day o
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, q
glass of real hot water with tea
