by the council investigating committee
when that body resumed its session to-
day. 1t being stories of crueties to
prisoners and filthy and insanitary con-
dltions as told by other witnesses. he
also produced diary covering the events
which transpired while he was employed
at the stoclxade.
Dodd testified that tho food served
the prisoners was unfit even for the
lowest kind of animals. Prisoners fire.
quently showed him bread from which
they took out flies. he said. and one
man brought him a piece of bread con-
tanning a spider. He declared the place
was overrun with vernin of all kind,
nearly all the negroes and several of
the white men being covered with lice.
He produced a bottle of lice which he
said q prisoner had captured and brought
to him. The bread with the spider in it
also was offered in evidence.
Asked what proportion of the prisoners
were whipped, Dodd replied that it would
be hard to tell.
II heard them whipped nearly every
morning" he said. sometimes there
were two or three whipped and again
there would be as many as half dozen
beaten"
The witness stated he kept diary be-
cause he thought the people of Atlanta
were ignorant Of the conditions at the

The Annoyance

Many People Are Annoyed With Gao
In the Stomach and lntestines.
A Trial Package Of stuart's Charcoal

A Trial Package Of Stuarts Charcoal
Lozenges Sent Free.
F1atulence 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 It consists to a great extent
of nitrogen and carbonic acid. 1t IL there
fore probable that some Of the gas in the
stomach consists simply Of air which mas
been swallowed, although for the most
part the source of fatulence is the gas
given of 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 IL digested slowly,
and fermentation occurs with the evolu-
ton of gas.
Swallowed air. however, plays q more
important part In causing hatulence, or
gas in the stomach and intestines than ts
generally supposed, and while food may
be swallowed without carrying air into
the stomach with It, fluids, especially
those Of a tenacious character. suoh an
pea-soup, appears to carry down great
deal.
Flatulent distension of the intestines
occurs when large amount Of gas or
air. either swallowed or evolved from tho
decomposition Of food, escapes from the
stomach into the intestines through The
pylorus. The enormous distension Of the
intestines and dilation of tho stomach
with gases, and the rapidity with which
such natulence occurs, has long been a
puzzle to medical men, and has led some
to think that the only possible explana-
ton thereof is rapid evolution of gas
from the blood
In the treatment Of gas In the stom-
ach and intestines, charcoal IL considered
by most physicians As the leading and
most effective remedy. Carm!uatives, or
medicines, such as peppermint carda-
nom, sodium. bicarb, etc., which expel
the gas from the stomach In large vol
umes through the mouth. are resortsd
to by some people, but their use IL dis
agreeable, and the frequent expulsion Of
gas through the mouth, most annoying.
