Distension Of The
Stomach By Air

And Fluctuations of Gas Rapidly Re-
lieved by Stuart's Charcoal Lozenqes.
Willow charcoal is the most important
and the purest kind of charcoal obtain
able. Wood consists of carbon hydrogen,
and oxygen, and when heated in room
where the supply Of air Is limited, the
more volatile matters are burned away,
and most of the carbon remains.
In finely divided state charcoal not
only condenses gases to a marvellous ex-
tent, but also has the power of absorb
ing coloring matter. 1t Is a very rapid
absorbent of gases of every kind and il
much used in the dlssecting rooms and
wards of hospitals for the removal of
offensive odors.
In rooms which have been recently or
freshly painted. q pan or other recep-
tacle Of charcoal allowed to remain there
in over night will completely absorb and
remove all the disagreeable paint odor.
Physicians frequently employ charcoal
for destroying the fetor of wounds, for
which purpose 1t is applied in the form
of a powder or poultice to gangrenous
sores, ulcers. etc. 1t Is also largely used
In tooth powders, as by its mechanical
action 1t removes incrustations of the
teeth. while by Its chemical action it de-
stroys fetor or foulness of the breath.
In indigestion accompanied by flatu-
lence, or gas on the stomach and belch-
ing, and in the collie Of infants, or older
persons. as well as the so-called lead
collie or painters oolio," charcoal is
by far the best and most powerful rem
edy that can be used.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges should be
used frequently or constantly by paint
ers, or workers in lead, and all persons
whose occupations make them liable to
lead collie" They should also be en-
ployed by anyone who suffers from those
annoying symptoms of indigestion, such
as fermentation, decomposition of food,
fatulence. or gas on the stomach, colicky
pains, resulting from the over-distension
Of the intestines with gas, and the rum
bling noises Of the bowels with which SO
many dyspeptics suffer, and which prove
so annoying and embarrassing, when oc-
curing while In company.
Stuarts Charcoal Loxenges are COM
posed Of pure willow charcoal mixed with
honey, and are capable of absorbing 100
times their own volume In gas; and by
their rapid anti-fermentative. antiseptic.
deordorizing and absorbent action, pre-
vent the possibility of collie or internal
rumblings of gaseous products. They are
absolutely harmless and may be given
freely to infants suffering from collie, and
used just as freely by older persons who
are annoyed by flatulence and gas eruc-
tations In proof Of the harmlessness of
charcoal. French physician was in the
habit Of taking 16, ounces every day OF his
life. and recommended its abundant use
to others.

FACTS ABOUT BEREA

Berea is really a group of schools
five great institutions working side
by side and together.
First there is the College which
gives name to the whole.
Second, there is tine Academy which
does two things-some students the
Academy prepares to go into college
TO other students the Academy gives
Immediate preparation for their life
work, sort of short college course.
Third. there Is the Normal Depart
ment which gives the best training
70 teachers.
Fourth, there are the Industrial De-
oartments which give skill and mon
ey-earning po~'er.
Fifth. there are the Model Schools
which. like the Acalemy, do two
things-some students they prepare
for advanced departments-to other
students they give an immediate prep
aration for the work of life.
In the College Library may be seen
the silver hilted sword which was Civ
en- to Gen. Cassius M. Clay by the
citizens of Madison and Fayette Coun
ties when he returned from the Mex
lean war. Gen. Clay gave this sword
to Berea College many years ago.
OF special interest this year is the
flee oil painting of the boy Lincoln
studying by the fire, which was re-
Gently given to Berea College by the
wife of the painter. No Commence
ment Day visitor should fail to see
| it,
Visitors, for small fee, may have
the privilege of ascending the Chapel
tower from which they may see Rich
mond and a great scope of country
] for thirty miles away.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1909-06-10

for five years seems near completion.
This We hope will make II possible
for President Frost TO be in Berea
next fall and give the students and
classes some OF the brilliant energy
that has been demanded so exclusively
hy duties outside OF Berea.
The students have been so enthusias-
tic over their work in the class room
and in the delightful adjuncts OF col
lege life that they are going 70 their
homes this vacation determined to
bring others back with them in the
fall to share in these privileges and
delights. The senior class of next
year bids fair to be more than twice
as large as the class that graduates
today. The chances for earnest stu
dents to earn large part of their eX'
penses while attending 10 their school
duties is better, If possible, than ever
before. Students whose ambition for
an education has been discouraged by
lack of sufficient means may write to
Secretary Gamble and receive eN-
perienced advice and information.

ATHLETICS FOR 1909

The prospects for football in Berea
this fall are much better than ever
before.
Our schedule to the present time
is not complete but will be by the
beginning of the fall term.
The following is schedule as com
pleted.
Oct. 2-Kentucky State University
at Lexington.
Oct. 9-Central University, at Dan
vile.
Oct. 23-Georgetown College at
Georgetown.
Nov. 13-Maryville College, at Mary
vile, Tenn.
Nov. 2O-St. Mary College, at Berea.
The two games remaining to be
scheduled will be played in Berea.
Chas. c. Flanery, Captain.
Marshall f. Vaughn, Manager.
The manager of intercollegiate trac
team is A. J. Stilwell and captain Is
G. II. Lampe.
The captains of White and Blue
teams will be chosen at the beginn-
ing of the fall term.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1909-06-10

minently mentioned for three other
places. .
Interest in home athletics has been
greatly increased by the division of
the young men of the institution into
two color divisions, known as the
Blues and Whites-the College colors.
AT the opening of the baseball sea-
son the President presented each Of
the color divisions with a complete
outfit of suits in their appropriate
colors so the teams make a splendid
appearance and have played series
of very interesting games. In this
way a number of good men are de-
veloped. who would not be under
other conditions. ..--...
The colors forn the basis of COM
petition in the annual Field Day. The
Field Day this year was one of the
best ever held here. II was mark
ed by all the eagerness to win which
marked the old society contests and
yet it lacked the personal feeling.
Almost every event was holly CON
tested and most of the victories were
won by very small margins.
Three records were broken, the
shot put, fifty and hundred yard
dashes,
Altogether il was an enjoyable ana
profitable day both for those who at
tended and those who took part,
Berea also entered the inter
collegiate field meet to be held
annually at Lexington. This will add
great interest to the home field day
which will be held before the inter-
COLLEGIATE meet and will be used to
determine who shall be sent to that
meet This could not be done this
year because of the lateness of the
decision to enter. Also the lateness
in entering did not allow the proper
development of all our material, yet
Rerea put an excellent team in the
field and easily took second place
in the state.
If this could be done Berea would
win the state contest next year The
outlook for next year is most en-
couraging. The football team has
good schedule of seven games, most
of last yar's team will return. Al
ready the men have organized and
are practicing The showing in the
State meet has given the men conf
dence and the track team next year
will be greatly improved.
With our splendid bathing facilities
good gymnasium practice, physical
examinations, and regular and temper
ate habits, we only need a little or
ganization and practice to make our
sports all that sports should be.
