The Cause of Gas

Gas on the stomach indicates that food has
fermented. The food is usually starch.
1t ferments because it doesn't digest. The
food was not properly cooked. The particles of
starch have not been so separated that the di.
gestive juices get to them.
The remedy is not an artificial digester-nor
a pre-digested food.
The remedy is to supply the starch in shape
to be digested. Then let the stomach do the work
for which it is intended.
When you toast bread, you notice that it d.
gests better. You have applied more heat
broken up more of the starch.
But the perfect food for weak stomach is
Mapl-Flake. No other food in the world is
cooked so we'll as that.
Our wheat is steam cooked for six hours.
Then cured for 80 hours. Then each separate
berry is faxed so thin that the full heat OF our
ovens can get to each atom. Then the flakes are
toasted, for 80 minutes, in heat of 400 degrees.
The result is food that's all food, because
it all digests. No part will ferment to cause d.
gestive disorders. Try it and see,

dangered The same paper also states,
from its own observations, from those
of the National Board of Fire Under
writer's. and from those of students of
social questions, that the danger of
loss of life in public school buildings
exists in every city and town in the
United States, not forgetting tine
educational institutions that are
located in the country where the publ :
assistance that would be available at a
time of fire would amount to practical
ly nothing. AS an immediate improve
ment and as means of making school
buildings reasonably safe it has been
the expressed opinion of engineers that
automatic sprinklers should be provid-
ed as fire protection. There is also
given in the paper a list of the cities
of the United States where investiga-
lions warrant the assertion that pro-
tective appliances are needed in the
schools, those from Maine being as
follows: Auburn, Augusta. Bangor.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Tuesday, May 26, at 10 A. N.

From information which has been
receiyed at the land office it is learned
that the work of sending along the
snring drives of logs on the two
branches of the PenObscot river and on
the Kennebec is progressing very
favorably and that there is every in
dication at present that the season will
be successful one and that the logs
will reach their various destinations
in good season. The rains Of last
week proved great help to the log
drivers in the whole northern section
Of the State, especially the storms of
Friday and Saturday, which extended
far up into the driving country. No
returns have been received at the
Office since the latter part of the week.
but it is thought that the storms last
mentioned must have materially in
creased the pitch of water in the
streams and brooks down which logs
are now being driven AMI helped them
along on their journey to the main
rivers. IT is reported that practically
all of the brook drives are on the move
now and that good progress is being
made The pitch of water is good in
all sections and the lumbermen are
confident that the drives will come
along all right.
The drives along the Kennebec sys-
TEN are doing well and with plenty of
water to bring the logs along their is
but little more to be desired The
Great Northern Paper Co is driving a
large amount of pulp wood down the
CarrabaSsct river into boomS at North
Arson. The company has been doing
lot of work i'm the way of improve
ments on the CarrabaSset and tribu-
tary brooks above kingfied, for driv-
ing purposes, and in places there are
torrents where in past seasons it would
have been impossible to drive logs.
On the West branch of the PenOb-
scot river the water is also high
Chesuncook lake is full and running
over. with a head of little over "a
feet. North Twin lake is filing at the
rate of about a foot day. strong, and
il was intended to open the gates
Saturday and spill about 5000 cubic
feet instead of the usual amount of
about 2O00 cubic feet. The water in
the lower river has dropped nearaly a
foot in the last week but if the gates
at North Twin are opened it should
rise again considerably.
= The ice in Grand lake on the East
branch is beginning TO break up. The
water in the lake is high for the sea-
son of the year and there is every indi-
cation that all the east branch drives
will have plenty of water to bring
them into the main river.
1t was reported Saturday that the ice
in Moosehead lake was about ready to
go out. 1t was beginning to move
about the lake last Friday and under
ordinary conditions the lake should be
free of ice by today.
