Prohibition Speaking Coming.


Arrangements are being made for
short speaking campaign in southern
Wisconsin for Jas. 81. Woertendyke or
California, who has the reputation or
being one of the strongest prohibition
advocates on the American platform.
He has spoken in many states with the
strongest of testimonials from pulpit,
press, and individuals. One quality
that makes him particularly popular
wherever he goes is his personal mag
netism and open mindedness. He takes
the broad and charitable view and con-
seauently wins his audience at once to
a receptive spirit. The itinerary as
tentatively announced by State Secre-
tary Taynton of Madison is as follows; :;
Monday, Dec. %, 2:3O at Cuba City;
7:30 at Platteville.
Tuesday, Dec. 80, II a. IN. Belmont;
7:30 Mineral Point.
Wednesday, Dec. 30, $50 Darlington
1880 Fayette.
Thursday, Dec. 81, p. m. Gratiot;
7:30 South Wayne.

PAIN IN HUNGER A FANCY.

Chicago Professor Tells Scientists
Starvation Is an Easy Death.
Chicago.-Death by starvation would
be painless one if
The eff was explained by DR.. A. j
Carlson, assistant professor of physiol-
ogy at the University of Chicago, in a
lecture before the National Academy
of Science. He asserted that the pangs
of hunger are only imaginary to a
great extent and that if one can sue.
ceed in fooling his stomach into ''be-
lieving' it is full then to all practical
purposes save that of nutrition it is
full.
''If any one could keep his mind oc-
cupied about other things except his
stomach while he was starving" said
Dr. Carlson, death by starvation
would be about as painless death as
any one could hope to have"
Here are some of the ways he said
the stomach could be fooled:
By chewing gum.
BY holding a stick in the mouth.
By forgetting all about hunger.
By taking drink Of beer or water.
BY becoming so frightened you don't
care anything about meals.
By swallowing small balloon and
pulling it up again with string.
The latter method is the one used by
DR.. Carlson in conducting series OF
experiments on himself. his assistant
and a patient who has been fed
through q tube inserted in his stomach
for twenty eight years. He used ma.
chine called manometer, with small
inflated balloon attached to device
for measuring the effort of the muscu.
lar action of the stomach on the bal
loon. He exhibited a chart and ex-
planned the wavy little lines to his au
dience.
