airy, 1887. in the city of Washing
ton, N. c."
Mrs. Anderson asks for an alb
Solute divorce together with such
other and further relief as she
may be entitled to in the premises,
together with the costs of the
Cthis) action"
The AnderSOnS were married on
Nov. 81, 1880, and lived together
until January %, 1897.
The correspondent, incidentally,
is the sister -in-law of Mrs. Ander-
son and the eStranged wife OF
Walter w. Cohoon. county prose-
cutting attorney. She is the same
Louise WhimS Cohoon whom An
derson was accused of kidnapping
last January, but as she refused
to appear against him the charges
were dropped before the case
came to trial.
Anderson was alleged to have
kidnapped" Louise WhimS CohOon
on January 25, 1887. and to have
kept her captive in his car until
January 27. 1t is interesting to
note that Mrs. Anderson'S COM
plant charges her husband and
sister-in-law with having COM
mitted adultery at washington,
N. c., on January 26 and 27.
Acquaintances here recall that
Louise Whims Cohoon spent the
month of August. last year, in
West Virginia, during which
month the divorce papers allege
she and Anderson committed
adultery in Dare County. Ander-
son has freely admitted his love
for Louise Whims Cohoon ever
since the two couples separated in
January.
My intentions are honorable, I
love Louise and I intend to mar
ry her as soon as we both can OBJ
tain divorces" he said in an in
tervieW last February.
Anderson's friends have known
for some weeks that he had plan
ned to take Louise to Arkansas in
early fall, obtain SiX-Weeks dl-
vorceS for both and then marry
her, thus getting the whole thing
over quickly and quietly. BY an
odd coincidence, the divorce ac-
ton will probably be heard by
Judge R. Hunt Parker at the Oc-
tober term of Pasquotank Superior
Court. Judge Parker being the
same juriSt who freed Anderson
of the kidnapping charge in March
and also the same who sentenced
w. L. Cohoon, father of Lydia and
Walter w. Cohoon, to prison sew
eral years ago.

MINNEAPOLIS. August 30-New
mind can control effects Of pain were
reported to the American Association
Of Applied and Professional Psycholo-
gists here today by Ralph r. Brown,
psychologist, and Victor H. Vogel,
M. D., past assistant surgeon, beth Of
the United States Public Health
Service.
They had four persons with tacks
pricking their feet try to imagine
they felt no pain. All continued to
hurt, but the imagination caused un-
expected physical notifications.
Without trying TO will the pain
away, blood pressure tended to rise,
pulses went up, breathing was faster,
trembling greater and electrical po-
tential of the skin changed. These
changes were involuntary.
But they became less when the
patient tried to imagine there was
no pain. This was verified by hypno-
tizing the same four with tacks prick
ing their feet. They had no memory
of pain. But their bodies showed all
the involuntary reactions Of pain.
The reactions were smaller under
the influence of hypnotism, but no
smaller than when the patients tried
to imagine there was no pain.
1T appears" the health ofhicals
reported, that in the subjects which
we have observed imagination in the
normal waking state may be just about
as effective with respect to influencing
the physiological reactions to pain as
that which may be observed following
suggestion in the trance state (hypno-
tSm).
The effects produced by imagina-
tion in the waking state are of
significance in demonstrating the pos
sibility of voluntarily influencing
those physiological processes which
have generally been considered as
autonomous.
The finding lends support to the
idea that psychological processes may
play an important role in facilitating
or inhibiting the physiological func-
tons concerned with maintaining or
re- establishing physical health. The
conscious and voluntary influences
upon physiological function should be
emphasized as having clinical signifi-
canoe, inasmuch as the influence OF
unconscious activity upon those proc

When the people with the tacks
pricking their feet were put under an
anesthetic, the involuntary physical
reactions disappeared. When nova
caine was used. there was still some
trace OF the involuntary reactions.
