ALL SENSATIONS IN BRAIN
Persons Make a Mistake When They
Say They Feel Pain in Other
Portions of the Body.

Where do you feel the pain? asks
the doctor. In my finger, In my ear,
In my foot. the sufferer replies, and If
the physician told him he did not feel
1t there but in his head, the average
man >wOud doubt the doctors sanity.
Yet the doctor would be right.
In an address at the University of
California; Prof. G.. II. Parker of Har-
ward told the students that we have
been obliged to give up the idea that
sensations are spread throughout our
bodies, for persons who have lost a
limb often feel sensations that seem
TO come from the missing member.
"Our sensations" said Professor
Parker, "are not located in the peri
pheral parts affected, but in the cen
tral nervous system, and within that
portion of 1t known as the cerebral
cortex." This is the outer layer, or
gray matter of the brain. One may
lose an arm, yet have the sensation Of
pain in the hand; but If small piece
of that particular part of the brain to
which run the senSOry nerves from
the arm be removed, one will never
again feel anything in that arm, not
even if the hand be placed in the fire.

paper hanger! I" chuckled Waldron.
The lawyer had to laugh, too.
A more business-engrossed young
man never entered the Marsh mansion
than Wnldron Prothero. The keen
eyed Mr.. Rolfe saw him about his
work in the old wing and left him
there with free mind. "DObsOn," as
he was announced, noticed nothing but
his work. Apparently he was blind to
even the radiant beauty of Miss Inez
Marsh, which piqucd the young lady
In question, but highly pleased her
watchful guardian.
However, It was natural that Miss
Marsh should visit the wing to direct
the work. It was just as natural that
she should become interested In the
handsome, courteous, intelligent young
man who unfolded new points to ad-
mire as the days went on.
"The last room is finished, Miss
Marsh," announced WaldrOn one day
and he cast a devOuring, and then a
lugubrlous glance upon his pleasant
companion.
'Yes, l see," nodded the keen-witted
little witch. "YOu have put that bor-
der on upside down, Mr.. er-er DobsOn,
and l have noticed other perversions
and omissions that do not coincide
with the expert decorator. Also, here
is a card case you dropped, Mr.. er-er
WaldrOn Prothero, of the firm of Will
son & Morton, our family lawyers"
Waldron was petrified. He realized
that he was unmasked, but also in the
poorly suppressed smiles of that lovely
face that the imposition was forgiven.
$50, what is the answer?" frankly
interrogated Inez, and just as frankly
Waldron made confession full and com
plete.
Back, eh?" propounded Mr.. Wilson
a few mornings later, as WaldrOn bolt
ed into the office fresh as u daisy and
wearing a radiant smile on his hand
some face.
"Yes, SIR" came the prompt reply.
II did the paperlng, sir, and had large
opportunity Of studying the Hollywood
situation. It's gloom and discipline
were wearing away the heart of that
sweet, dear, little creature, Inez."
''Inez" fairly shouted the petrified
lawyer.
Eyes, sir, so l advised her to leave"
"What? and forfeit her fOrtune?"
"Oh no, sir" smiled Waldron sweet
y. "She could not ignore the forfeit
provision, sir, so we"
"We!" almost shouted the astounded
lawyer. "YOu talk as If she were some
close friend"
Better than that" I" chirped WaldrOn

SeIf-ReIiant Art.

Music is the most complete and self
reliant of the arts, according to the
eminent critic, William J. Henderson.
1t has no utilitarian purpose, like archi-
lecture; it never, like literature, be-
comes treasure chest for the archives
of history. Despite Wagner's exhil-
arating Interpretation of the Seventh
Symphony as 'the apOtheOsis of the
dance" that composition remains an
absolute symphony in A major,
capable Of resting wholly upon it's
own musical beauty. A suite by Bach
can live thing of beauty and a joy
forever, even while it calmly def1es
every attempt to create for it any
foundation outside its own thematic
materials. Mozart's cOncertOs and the
symphonies of Brahms belong to this
same class. All their eloquence con-
slsts In lofty song. They tell no stories;
they paint no pictures; they make no
futile essays at preaching PHILOSOPHERS.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or calIus so It lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus lOosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-.
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as II
is inexpensive and is said not to irri
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv
