Man Can't Feel Pain.

Medical experts are puzzled bv a
strange case of inSensibility to pain
that allows man to bury hatpinS in
his flesh and drive nails into his fore
head. Tho 'inscnsibIc man" is a cook

jail charged with rifng a slot ma

maintains that he acted while in a
trance.

oner said that he could not always
control the actions of his hands and
limbs; that they often acted independ-
entity Of his will, and that they were
insensiblc either to steel or iron. To
prove this he begged to be allowed the
use of a lady's hatpin and buried it re-
pcatedly in the calf of his leg. his heel.
his cheek and the heshy parts of his
arm and hand.
Ten minutes after being returned to
cell kabell called out to the keeper:

up in front of the cell the prisoner

. 10000 ACRES OF
RICH SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY

We own 10000 acres of Califor- z
MAS richest fruit land in the heart
of productive San Joaquin Valley
the treasure chest of the world. Mz
This tremendous tract lies in S
Kern county to the southeast of
Bakersfield. 1t is near the foot
hills of the Sierra Nevadas and 8
from 400 to 600 feet above sea level.
These Early Fruit Lands bear the
mark of the Creators hand-not -
only in beauty but in wealth
that lies in the rich granite de-
posts that bespeak enormous pro- ~
ductive power of the soil.
This stretch of fertile valley has
been divided into 20 acre tracts-each
capable of netting their owners from
$4,000 to $4,000 each season--and these
are conservative estimates.
We dare not place an average profit
figure on any of this rich land-the pos
sibilities are so immense that they are
scarcely believable.
We are located in the thermal or
frostless belt-cool in winter and warm
mot hot-in summer.
