TINS nerve, as us name indicates, divides INTO
three branches. One branch goes to the end Of
the nose, the eyelids and the forehead. Another
goes to the upper lip, the cheek and temple. A
third goes to the skin Of the lower jaw and the
area in front of the ear.
You will see that this nerve, through its
branches, supplies the whole face. Not only does
it give motive power to the muscles located in
this region, but it also supplies the sense Of feel
ing. Wherever these branches extend, there are
the locations of the circulating pains which
this ailment.
When the nerve becomes overstimulated, there
is a twitching or contraction of the jaw and face.
Acute pain is felt in that part supplied by the
affected branch of the nerve. The pain usually
attacks the eyeball and is felt over the eye.
It is an ailment more commonly met in people

u S. AGENT TELLS
WAR BLAST SECRET
Disastrous Munitions Ex-
pIoSion Began at Bench OF
Man Who Disappeared.

~ the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, September
20. The American German Mixed
Claims Commission was told today by
Robert w. Bonynge, American agent,
how the disastrous explosion occurred
in the munitions factory at Kingsland,
N. j., on January IL, 1917.
Bonynge said that the fire started
from shell in the process Of fabrica-
ton, and at the bench containing this
missile stood a workman who was new
to the Kingslsnd plant-a Ruthene,
Theodore wozniak, who disappeared
after the disaster
The American agent said that detec-
tives have proof Wozniak fed to Mexico,
where he acted as German agent during
the Summer OF 1917. Wozniak later
stated that he worked at that time in
q lumber camp, Bonynee continued, but
the alibi has not been established to
satisfaction.
In August of 1929 the American con-
tinued, German representatives produce
ed an affidavit purporting to be that of
Womiak, who admitted that the Kings
land fire started at his work bench, but
denied that he was in the service Of
Germany.
Since then the United States repre-
sentatives have made repeated attempts
To obtain the address of Wozniak and
question him, but have been unable to
do so.
The commission will meet again Mon
day morning.

DR. FREDERICK GRANT BANTING.
medical advance in the century since
Pasteur.
Receives Many HonOrs.
Within a few months the British
Medical Association added its tribute to
DR.. Banting. The Parliament Of Can
ada, the Legislature Of Ontario, passed
special legislation honoring the discov-
erer. He became the head of new
department of medical research. He
became uncomfortable as the publicity
ragged and magazines and newspapers
throughout the world published articles
about him.
His bent, his friends said, was still
toward surgery. He still lacked that
intensive training considered essential
to scientists. And yet he found himself
head of a department Of medical re-
search, with that branch of science
looming ahead as his life work.
But he stuck to his job. He gradu-
ally managed to slip out of the lime
light. Soon he was happy again. The
terrific pressure of the insulin hunt
was over and he found time to develop
outside interests.
Though no new discoveries have been
added, DR.. Banting has become known
as Canadas leading doctor painter. He
is established as an authority on Cana
dian history. He passes his holidays
in the North and has travelled almost
to the Magnetic Pole.

next 200 miles. This is also the last satisfac-
tory pasture for the camels, and 1t Is well to
allow them a good final feed.
