Mr.. Hobson has devoted most of his
time waging war against the demon

vocate a congressional appropriation

Assigned to Locality of
Discovery.

CO platinum in Alaska by DR.. Her
schel c. Parker of New York. and
others has aroused government agen-

hope of finding sufficient quantities
of the precious metal to meet the

n Four government experts have
been assigned to study the Alaskan
situation and report whether the dis
coveries may replenish the platinum
supply, cut off recently by the vir-
fuaI cessation of activities in the Ural
which the worlds greatest supply
came.
, Intensive operations would follow
q favorable report, but the true con-
dition, 1t is declared. cannot be deter
mined before next year, by which
which time the present supply will be
nearly exhausted.
Prof Parker has reported finding
platinum In quantity in the gravel of
the Kahiltna river during gold placer
drilling. Installation of a dredge
followed and ]. B. Mertie, a govern
ment geologist, was assigned to OBJ
serve results. Alaskan gold miners
also have reported platinum in the
Ketchikan, Koyuk. Fairhaven and

The Two That Can Cause the Greatest

which part Of the human body Is tne
most sensitive to pain!
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. lrrl-
tation is not pain, but only frequent
capse of il. Thus a crumb lodged IN
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often result In actual
pain. So, too, an insect or speck OF
dust in the eye sets up violent irrita-

acute pain.
OF the surface of the body the finger
fins and the end of the tongue are
most sensitive. For instance, burn

than one on the back would be, wnlle
one on the tongue would be more PAIN

Deep wounds are not painful, as

or pains not caused by external IN
iuries neuralgia of the fifth nerve, the
one which supplies the skin OF the mead
and face, is the most intense. 1t has
frequently driven people mad for the
time being, and sufferers have been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve 1t.
The rupture of the branches OF the
dental nerve in tooth drawing also
causes agony so intense that 1t has
been stated that no human being could
endure It for more than two seconds at
a time.-Pearson's Weekly.

What Make. Business Success.

There is always a premium in bust
ness On the man who does his work
painstakingly," says j. 0. Armour In
the American Magazine, with COM
pleteness and finality. He is the man
who will be trusted with more and
more responsibility, up to the limit of
his capacity. The man who informs
himself adequately about his firm, its
methods. its policies and its products,
who does his work SO well that no one
needs follow him up to patch the rag
ged edges, is on the safest. surest and
shortest road to achievement"
