HABIT

1t is very doubtful if many of us
have ever stopped to consider the
extent to which we are victims OF
Habit" and it is eqt ally doubtful il
any Of US have been able to appre-
ciate the full force of "Hlbit' on
moulding our lives. AS matter OF
fact our lives are so fixed by rou-
tine OF Habit that most of us be-
come more or less automatic
machines.
The human body is a perfectly
marvellous organization in its practi-
cally exhaustless ability to adapt
itself to habits and the strange part
of the process is that the. human
system adjusts itself TO denial of pri-
vileges just as readily as it does to
adopting them. For instance: 1t
takes boy some time to accustom
the system to the use cf tobacco.
Once the Habit" is established the
system adapts itself to conditions
and complains if the habit is discon-
tinued. However, if denial is con-
tinued. an equilibrium is rapidly
reached and the system soon discon-
tinues calling for the Tobacco
("Habit'' } and so it is with nearly
everything in life.
We eat certain things, we drink
certain things, we do certain things
at certain times, we awake in the
morning, we retire at night, we
think along certain lines, we dress in
certain ways, we walk with alertness
or we drag along; all because of es-
tablished habits.
II we are in the habit of retiring at
nine O clock it is trial to change
the hour to midnight, and on the
other hand, if we are accustomed to
retire at midnight it is very difficult
to retire and go to sleep at nine P.
M.
If we are accustomed to one cup
of coffee for breakfast we rarely think
of asking for two. If we are accus-
toned to two cups of coffee we feel
cheated if only one is provided and
the chances are that the system will
set up howl for it. To a person
who is in the habit of three cups, the
day is a misery if no coffee is taken
and on the other hand, a few days
without any and the system makes
no demand.
A hundred illustrations might be
cited showing how easily these habits
are acquired.
Along with these we acquire GER
tain lines of thought; we look on the
dark side of everything and our
whole life is a walking gloom or we
look on the CHEEKY side of every
thing, appreciate the good things as
they come and take a philosophical
view of our misfortunes and the re-
suit is that we cast little sunshine in
the path of others, and at the same
time cheerfulness actually helps one
to feel much better physically.
We let temper go unchecked,
get violently angry, and actually
develop a poison in the system
which has a strong tendency to
undermine the health.
Fear develops the most violent
poison in the body.
Violent anger the same to slight
ly lesser degree and worry is
slower but just as sure method of
developing the same poison.
All Of these things increase the
heart action, raise the Llood pressure
and shorten life just to the extent
to which they are permitted to
become Habits. Or. Mcconnell. |

surrounding towns are turned in to-
day the total amount is expected to

Another $1,000 bond and several
$1,000 bonds have been subscribed.
UP TO this time two bonds of the

dozen of the $1,000 class have been
purchased.
The plan being carried out by To-
cal banks which enables the working
class to take bonds is proving very
successful. Many have been reach
ed through this plan and the number
OF bonds disposed of the small de-
nominations is expected to be very
large.
committeeman Report
Many of the citizens committee OF
25O have reported on the work. In
many cases two of the subscription
Dlanks which have been supplied by
the committee have been returned.
The amount that is being subscribed
in the outlying districts is not known

Boy Hunters Find Body
of Suicide Near Gettysburg

Gettysburg. Pa. Oct. 22.-Two 1S-
year-old hunters out in the woods
en- Saturday found what was left of
man, evidently a suicide. The boys
had left home in the morning and
were about two miles north of the
Hollinger farm when they scared up
a flock of birds in a thicket. Just
after the birds rose in the air, they
came across the complete form of the
man, only little more than his skele-
ton being left. A hole in the skull
just at the temple and revolver
still grasped in the bones OF the hand
and fingers gave evidence of the
tragedy. The boys gave up their
hunt and came to town to notify the
authorities. who deemed an injuest
unnecessary. The frame of the man
was removed and buried in the ceme-
terry at the county home.

DIR. Lichliter had to spend seven
days in the mountains fifty miles
from railroad because of storms
and roads made impossible by snow.
On smother trip by automobile to q
mining region the car had to go over
roads little better than trails which
had sharp curves and were cut on

in the big farming sections of the

production appears to be a fine art in
