II %. consider this story which
the Boston Nevs Bureau tells
about Charles 9. Melleu. former
president Of the New YorA New
Haven . Hartford Railroad:
MeiIen can't shake Off the haA-
lis and Instincts which he &C.

The older you grow, the more

The stories Of MeiIen and the

power Of habit and the ruis Il
makes In the brain.
You may think you'd like 10
quit work. But habit would have
something satirical to say about
that.

ture Of habit. And the longer
you work at II, the more its lure

On first thought, you may
doubt this. But tell the truth
