Colorado i. Great Mineral Producer

Colorado ranks eleventh among the
mineral-producing states, with a total
output in 1912, according to E. w.
Parker, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, valued at S5S,167,399.
These figures do not include the pro-
duction of pig iron, which is an i'm
portant industry in Colorado. the ore
for smelling being imported principal
ly, from New Mexico and Wyoming
If the value of the pig iron produced
in Colorado in 1912 is included, the
total mineral output for the state
would exceed s63,0OO,000
While not the leading state in any
important mineral product, Colorado's
production of gold in 1912, valued al
$18,588.562. was second only to that
of California

PANGs OF HUNGER.
Contractions That Sound the Call Of
the Empty Stomach.

When the stomach is empty it at
once begins a series Of contractions.
It is these that give us that empty
feeling, that sensation, not of pain,
but Of yearning, which we call the
pangs Of hunger.
The stomach is a bag made Of
layers Of muscle and mucous mem
brane, plentifully supplied with
small glands that secrete fluid
called the gastric juice and dis
charge this into the stomach, where
it mixes with the food therein con-
tanned and prepares it for digestion.
In the normal stomach-that of
baby-as soon as the stomach has
emptied its contents into the intes-
tines the hunger contractions begin.
In adults many distracting agencies
prevent the contractions from start
ing at once That is why most Of us
do not feel hungry the moment we
have finished digesting a meal.
Babies do Ihls has been proved bv
experiments BY \. j. Carlson. In
infants there is no mental distrac-
ton; they have not yet acquired
habits Of eating.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association says: can in
FAINT given onlyfou ounces of food
exhibited pl!e1y-lena Of hunger
That is, caiied Tor more after aboat
two hours. When seven or eight
ounces of the same food were fur
nished the call for food was delay
ed for three or four hours. II the
child was given a limited amount Of
food at bedtime it walked up much
earlier than when the feeding was
carried to the point of safety.
Garrison cites these observations
as evidence Of the close parallelism
between the time of emptying the
stomach and the appearance Of the
hunger contractions which initiate
the sensation. He suggests that the
more frequent calls for food during
the day are obviously due to the
fact that the gastric hunger con-
fractions must reach certain de-
gree of intensity before they cause
the soundly sleeping infant to wake
up"
When a man draws in his belt to
stave off the pangs of hunger he
merely applies a mechanical pres
sure to prevent the contractions of
his stomach.
perhaps, after all,'' remarks the
learned editor, sSthe sensation Of
hunger is a better guide to gastric
conditions than has been admitted
in the past, SO that we ought to
cultivate familiarity with it more
intelligently than is the custom
with the majority of persons.
