Flatulent Fluctuations

The eructation or belching of gas from the
stomach Is very common circumstance, and

the food ingrs,ed. without the existence Of any
deviation from health. In cases of extreme fiat
ulence the eructation of large quantities of gas
may take place. forming a source of considerable
Inconvenience and frequent annoyance, although
afording some relief to the feeling of disten-
sion that exists in the stomach.

ers, which will make 1t possible to culti-
waite millions of acres of land which have
lain idle for fifteen or eighteen hundred
years. 1t is proposed to induce immigra-
ton from Italy, Poland and other crowd
ed parts of Europe by offering farms to
those who will occupy and cultivate them.
But l will leave that subject for another
letter.
The success of similar enterprises has
inspired schemes for the construction OF
several railways from the Mediterranean
and the Black sea to the Interior where
are now enormous areas, thickly popu-
lated, entirely without communication
with the outside world except by the
ancient caravan routes which are still
trodden by loaded camels over the noun
tafns. through the valleys and across the
deserts to the shipping points on the dis
tant seas. Already several short rail-
ways run into the interior to give an
outlet to the products of rich sections of
Asiatic Turkey. The Smyrna Alden rail-
way. owned by an English syndicate, ex-
tends for 200 miles into the interior and
has several tributary branches. During
the last year it has been extended forty
miles at a cost of about $4,000 mile to
open up communication with Lake Eigi-
dar, one Of the largest inland seas in the
southern part of Asia Minor. An idea
of the profit of these roads may be OBJ
tanned from the fact that the annual
dividends of the Smyrna-Aiden road have
averaged per cent ever since it was
opened.

The chief articles which could be ex-
ported from the United States to Turkey
are -four, cotton yarns, soap of all kinds.
washing powders, candles. lubricating
oils, ropes, twines, matches, linseed oils,
corn starch, lamps, tools of every sort.
mining machinery. agricultural imple-
ments of every kind, railway supplies,
construction steel, iron and steel bars,
ware, automobiles. motors, engines OF
every kind, motor boats, lamps. electri-
cal supplies Of every kind. stationery
paper Of all kinds. pens and pencils,
harness, linen and cotton thread. cut
lery OF all kinds, china and glass ware,
cotton fabrics. sugar. coffee. rice, pro-
visions Of every sort.
The Turks get their refined petroleum
from the neighboring refineries of Rus
STA. They are large consumers Of bread,
and although they have immense grain
fields. and the larger part OF the Otto
man empire will produce wheat, they do
not raise enough to feed their own peo-
pie and import millions Of bags OF flour
annually from Russia. Roumania, France,
Bulgaria and the neighboring states. In
1907 they imported 10000 sacks of flour
from the United States.
Confidence in Turkey.
The enterprise of the Turkish govern
ment is shown in every direction, and
it has the confidence Of financial leaders
OF Europe, which was indicated In Oc-
tober last. when per cent loan of
$50 OOO, 600 was floated in France and
England at SO. These were the best
terms ever offered for Turkish bonds,
and the commission which has super
vision of the Ottoman foreign debt is
much encouraged by that fact Every
source OF revenue has shown increase.
and it is being more honestly collected
than ever before. Under the recent
sultan every collector of taxes was re-
quired to send into the treasury a certain
amount of money, and few questions
which he obtained 1t. He put the rest
In his own pocket or shared it with his
favOrites. That system has been stop
ped. and it is believed that the legitimate
regularly collected.
The total public debt Of Turkey is
$4S4 SOC. 715. OF $3.50 per capita Of pop
ulation. The annual charge for inter
est and sinking fund is SIS. 897. 115. which
compares favorably with those Of other
countries. The corporation of foreign
bondhOlders makes a most encouraging
report as to the financial condition and
prospects Of the country.
Development Of Resources.
Additional sources of revenue will be
furnished with the development of vast
areas in the interior. which have re-
mained uncultivated for more than a
thousand years because there was no
way to get their products to market.
There are mineral deposits Of great value
lying idle. enormous tracts Of forests
filledwith valuable woods; oil and gas
are known to exist in various parts OF
the country, out the greatest source OF
wealth. and that most easily developed,
is agriculture. which will flourish as soon
as the irrigation systems are restored.

pansion Of commerce and industry is n
