PAIN IN HUNGER A FANCY.

Chicago Professor Tells Scientists
Starvation 10 an Easy Death.
Chicago.-Death by starvation would
be n painless one If
The "lf" vas explained by DR.. A. ].
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 IL n can sue
ceed in fOoling his stomach into "be-
lieving" 1t Is full then to all practical
purposes save that Of nutrition 1t is
fun.
III any one could keep his mind oc-
cupied about other things except his
stomach while he was starving" said
DIR. Carlson, death by starvation
would be about as painless a 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 n stick In the mouth.
BY forgetting all about hunger.
BY taking a drink of beer or water.
BY becoming so frightened you don't
care anything about meals.
BY swallowing Il small balloon and
pulling 1t up again with a string.
The latter method Is the one used by
DIR. Carlson in conducting a series OF
experiments on himself, his assistant
and a patient who has been fed
through a tube inserted in his stomach
for twenty-eight years. He used a ma
chine called n manometer. With a small
inflated balloon attached to a device
for measuring the effort OF the muscu-
lar action of the stomach on the bal
loon. lie exhibited n chart and ex-
planned the wavy little lines to his au
dience.

WHEAT PRICES ADVANCING
Reach Highest Figures Since Letter
Corner Of 1893.

Minneapolis, Jan. 5.-May and July
wheat reached high records here,
touching figures unheard of since the
Joe Letter wheat corner OF 1898. May
wheat sold as high as $1.30A. while
July wheat went to $1.30A. The high
est previous figure since 1898 was
that of Sept. 4. when May wheat went
to $1.29h. Two causes are named by
chamber OF commerce oficials for the
present high prices.
The European demand. it is said, is
being felt for the first time. the previ-
GUS effect of the war being chiefly
based on speculation.
The establishment of ocean freight
rates, which practically eliminate the
competition of South American coun-
tries, also has affected the local mar.
