The Annoyance
OF FIatuIence
Many People Are Annoyed With Gas
In The Stomach and Intestines.

Flatulence is due TO the presence of
gas IN the stomach and intestines, which
often rolls about producing borbOrygmi
or rumbling noises in the Intestinal syS-
tenn, and causes the victim Of this
trouble considerable embarrassment when
such noises occur while In company.
An analysis of gas from the stomach
shows that II consists TO a great extent
OF nitrogen and carbonic acid Il is
therefore probable that some of the gas
IN the stomach consists simply of air
which has been swallowed. although for
the most part the source OF fiatu!ence is
the gas given on from the food in the
abnormal processes of decomposition
In cases of chronic gastric catarrh,
the secretion of gastric juice in the
stomach is deficient, the food is digested
slowly, and fermentation occurs with
the evolution of gas.
Swallowed air, however. plays a more
important part In causing fiatulence, or
gas in the stomach and intestInes, than
Is generally supposed and while food
may be swallowed without carrying air
into the stomach with Il, fluids. especial
ly those OF a tenacious character, such
as pea soup, appear to carry down a
great deal.
Flatulent distention Of the intestfnes
occurs when large amount OF gas or
air. either swallowed or evolved from
the decomposition Of food. escapes from
the stomach into the intestines through
the pylorus. The enormous distention of
the fntestines and dilatation of the
stomach with gases. and the rapidity
with which such f1atulence occurs. has
long been puzzle to medical men, and
mas led some 10 think that the only
possible explanation thereof is a rapid
evolution of gas from the blood.
In the treatment Of gas in the stomach
and intestines, charcoal is considered by
most physicians as the leading and most
effective remedy Carminatives, or medi-
clnes, such as peppermint, cardamOm, So
dium bicarb.. &c, which expel the gas
from the stomach in large volumes
through the mouth, are resorted 70 by
some people. but their use is disagree
able, and the frequent expulsion of gas
through the mouth most annoying. and

The Fiqht Against tuberculosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States. is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1913 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this Is the
best record thus far made in the fight
against consumption In this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more assO-
Citations for the prevention Of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious IL months, and So more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January 1, 1910, there we're in the Uni
ted States SS4 anti-tuberculosis associ-
atoms, 1856 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispensaries.

In the past ten years no other 70
ligious organization has received so
much money as the Y. NJ. G. A. Mil.
lions have been raised for new build
ings all over the land, and with'no ap
parent strain. It's businesslike admin.
istration Of its vast resources, its en-
ergy in pushing its work-in the cities
and through the railroad, army and
navy branches-and its fine policy In
following the armies in all recent
wars, have created for it worldwide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet Of
the international committee, Senator
Root affirmed that they had made
their way by working with men more
than by talking to them, saying:
Come with us" not Go do that"
BY their appeal to all classes Of Chris
tians, as well as to non-Christians,
they have kept out of doctrinal theol-
ogy, and by their activity in good works
they have escaped cant in religion.
All interested in saving our boys and

Railroads Have Hustled Some.

In ten years nearly 1000. 900, 900 peo-
Die were carried by the railroads of
the United States, and In single year,
1908, 500, 100000 tons Of freight were

The weight of individual locomotives
has increased lis per cent. and the

almost $1,000 putting over the United

Of freight cars has been approximately
100 per cent, making their present

Perhaps the statistics giving the
number of railroad employees are the
most impressive. Nearly 1.5OO.O 900 PEG
