know that feelings have little
to do with the brain.
You don't get excited or mad

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis e. Bisch-

10y UIs LOUIS e. 0lSCm-
THE surface Of the brain,
the cerebrum, is composed
Of two halves. These are known
as the hemispheres Of the
brain.
AS one looks down upon the
surface Of the brain the two
hemispheres are separated by
o deep fissure, the longitudinal
fisSure. At the bottom of
this fissure, seen when the
hemiSphereS are carefully sep
arated, is a strip Of tissue which
holds the halves together. It
Is called the corpus calloSum.
The brain surface Is not even
and smooth, but arranged in
folds. These folds dip down
into the brain, some being a
quarter Of an inch deep. The
folds are known as convolu-
tions and look something like
the markings on an English
walnut.
Since the outer layer Of the
cerebrum is composed Of nerve
cells and looks grey-the grey
matter" Of the brain-this con-
volution and dipping-down ar
rangernent allows for more
grey matter within the narrow
confines OF the bony skull than
il the surface of the brain
were absolutely smooh. :
Each hemisphere Of the cere-
brlm is divided into five lobes
by means Of three deep fis.
SureS.
Although much experiment is
Sttll necessary to map out the
brain in its entirety, there can
be little question but what the
various lobeS Of the brain and
sections therein have to do
with special and definite func-
tionS. .
The reasoning faculties and
those Of q higher order like
judgment, logic and powers Of
inference and comparison are
believed to be situated in the
frontal lobes In the front Of the
cerebrum.
The faculties which have to
do with sight are situated in
the back of the head in the oc-
cipital lobes.
The hearing centers are on
the sides. The speech center Is
believed to be located on, the
head.
This division Of the surface
Of the brain-the gray matter,
in other words-iS technically
called the localization Of func.
ton Of the brain.
The fisSure Of Orlando, which
runs up and down on the side
Of the brain, undoubtedly is
concerned with motion. That
is, the gray brain cells which
line the fiSSure have to do with
movement Of the limbs and.
curiously enough, Of the limbs
on the opposite side Of the
body. Furthermore, "up the
fiSsure means down the body"
That is, the cells at the lowest
part Of the fisSure control
movement Of the arm on the
opposite side Of the body, while
those toward the top Of the
fiSsure control the movement
Of the leg, also on the opposite
side.
The seat Of memory is not
altogether clear. It Is believed
TO be in the occipilak Lobe Og

North Dakota to the Rescue
est. Paul Dispatch

w. 0uA DAk0tNA
Minaesot is finding North Dakota a good neighbor in
time of need. Without kindly assistance from across the
western border, this state would not now have her in
terests looked after on the floor of the United States
senate. Dispatches from Washington report generous &C
tiyiies by Senator Nye of North Dakota in helping to
promote several measures Of concern to Minnesota which
had been sent up from the lower house and apparently
left without sponsors in the upper chamber.
Two pending cases are the application of KSTP broad
casting station for an adequate wave length. and the
efforts of Congressman Mas to. clean up the scandal
that still clings to st. Paul;s Commercial station post
office and delays start of q new federal building. North
Dakotas senator is very kindly giving time and attention
to affairs that he might easily have passed up as being
Of no concern to his own state or his duties.
It is through no fault or lack Of desire to serve on
the part Of Senator SAipstead that keeps him from his
senate seat. For many months he has been suffering i'll
health that must be as regrettable to his as to his con-
s%tituents. Were he able to be on the floor there would
be no need to call for outside assistance.
~ Washington dispatches do not report the causes that
seem to have diverted the attention of Minnesotas other
senator, and required the drafting 81. g friendly outsider.
Possibly the approach of a direct primary election next
June, which he must face, is of more political and per-
sonal interest to him that these material matters of st.
Paul and the home state.

DO. you. KNOW. WHEN YOU'RE

Il you have seen q bunch Of farm
hands or lumberjacks rush into .

available food, you may smile when
you see the difficulties some Of the
fashionables have In selecting food
that Is tempting enough to eat, even
in q first class restaurant. where the
chef considers himself . culinary
artist. City people, as q class, have
selecttve appetites. They, do not
know the raw, crude hunger that
their forefathers felt after the out-o1.
door Vigorous work necessary in for
aging . community out Of the VIII
derness.
Nothing makes food taste 50 good as
being downright hungry. The Ger
mans have q saying-"Der Hunger list
der beste koch,"-meaning roughly
that hunger Is. the best sauce. Those
who work up . healthy hunger not
only enjoy their food more but digest
it better. Healthy hunger" Is q good
name, because only q really healthy
person knows what real hunger Is.
The loss Of hunger Is one Of the first
signs that Ill health approaches and
it Is also q good sign that the body is
wise In realizing that doing without
food for q time is one Of the best
remedies for i'll health.
When you have . poor appetite, you
should not attempt to stuff yourself
with the appetizing foods which are
usually the least healthful, but you
should make your appetite come back
by taking an orange or grapefruit,
fast for q few days: .Tua person who
starts out again after such q fast,
food not only tastes as good as
mother used to make but in many
cases 1t tastes q wee bit better.
Many people would enjoy food more
IL they would only give their stom-
achs q chance to register hunger by
not nibbling between. meals. # you
think you are hungry between meal
