This accumulation of gas in the
stomach Is caused in the following
ways: l. 1t may be swallowed in large
quantities during certain abnormal
conditions Of the stomach and food
tract. 2. It may be produced by de.
composition of food in the alimentary
system. 8. It is often evolved from
changes of the mucous secretions them.
selves. 4. Transuded from the blood.
8. Regurgitated from the duodenun,
or first portion of the small intestines,
and In some cases from fistulous
communication with the large intes-
tine. 6. Gas of an extremely often.
sive kind Is produced by the decompo-
sition OF morbid growth in the stom.
ach, such as cancer, ulcer. tumor, etc.
z. Some forms Of food are more prone
than others to cause stomach gas, in
Guiding sugar. starch. beans, peas, etc.
To relieve the distressing symptoms
OF gaseous distension of the stomach,
no matter what the cause may be. II
has been found by numerous expert-
ments that the most reliable and val,,.
able remedy is charcoal, which direct.

the alimentary system, besides oxi-
dizing and destroying foul odors, and
antiseptically cleaning the stomach
and intestinal system from one end to
the other as thoroughly as soap and
water cleanses the skin.
The late DR.. Leared of England
strongly advocated the use of willow
charcoal in the form Of lozenges for the
alienation of such stomach symptoms

position and bloating. It has also
been found extremely serviceable in

palladium Specially

&A opSSidiJ
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 16.-The
threatened uprising among the county
treasurers of the state has faded into
this air, as a result of the visit of Will.
liam F. Scheiman, treasurer of Allen
county, to the State Board of Accounts
yesterday.
Scheiman is president of the State
association Of county treasurers.
A week or two ago 1t was discovered
that the state board of accounts had
prepared form for the uniform tax
receipt which is to be used in all of
the counties in the state. In many
ways the new form was a radical de-
parture from the forms which are now
used. and the treasurers all over the
state went up in the air when this was
found out The state board discov-
cred that each county was using a diff
ferent form Of tax receipt. making
ninety-two different forms that were
being used. The board found that it
would be impossible for 1t or it's exam
iners to make uniform examinations
or establish uniform bookkeeping in
the offices of the county treasurers
with the various kinds of receipts in
use.
Prepare New Form.
So it was decided to prepare a new
form and require it's use in all of the
counties. One of the requirements
was that the receipts should not be
printed in loose leaf form, but that
they should be bound and numbered
consecutively, with the numbered du-
plicate underneath it. And the re.
ceipt was not to be removed from the
bound book for any purpose except for
delivery to the taxpayer after payment
had been made.
1t was discovered that this would
revolutionize the methods of handling
tax receipts in the treasurers office in
several of the larger counties OF the
state. and roar went up at once. Then
the state board made change in the
system and provided that the receipts
might be printed in loose leaf form,
but that each receipt shall be account
ed for to the state board, and that the
duplicate in a bound book shall show
the issuance of each receipt.
Scheiman received letters galore
from county treasurers throughout the
state in which they asked him to do
something to head off the board in
what they termed its revolutionary
program. Scheiman came to town yes
terday, ready to do battle with the
state board on the tax receipt PROPOSE
ton, but when he found that the board
had changed the form so as to allow
the treasurers to have them prepared
in loose leaf style, he readily agreed
with the board that the new plan was
the best that could be prepared. So
he went back home and the threatened
revolution among the county treasur-
ers will not take place.
