No More Gas In -
Stomach and Bowels

If you wish to be permanently re-
lieved of gas in the stomach and bow
els, take Baalmann's Gas-Tablets.
Baalmann's Gas-Tablets are prepared
distinctly and especially for stomach
gas, and particularly for all the bad eff
fects coming from gas pressure.
That ebpty, gone and gnawing feeling
at the pit of your stomach will disap-
pear; that anxious and nervous feeling
with heart palpitatiOn will vanish, and
you will once more be able to take deep
breath, so often prevented by gas press
ing against your heart and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers won't
feel cold and go to sleep, because Baal-
mann'S Gas-Tablets prevent gas interior
ing with the circulation; intense drowsi-
ness and sleepy feeling after dinner will
soon be replaced by a desire for some
form of entertainment. Your distended
stomach will reduce by inches because
gas will not form after using Baalmann's
Gas-Tablets.

WIRE CHIEF SHAW
GIVEN WRITE-UP
Picture in Telephone Who's Who in Yer
mont, Together with His Connec-
ton with Phone Business.

Under the caption Who's Who in Yer
mont the October number of Telephone
Topics contains a picture of Wire Chief
Herbert G.. Shaw of the Brattleb0ro ex-
change of the New England Telephone 4
Telegraph Co, together with the following
account of his connection with the tele-
phone business:
''On Jan. g., 1900, a sturdy young chap
who had just graduated from school, ap-
piled to the telephone company at Lewis
ton, Me-, for a position. His actions and
appearance being Favorable, he was given
the job of collecting money for the com
pany. This young mans name was Her
bert C. Shaw, the present wire chief at
Brattleboro, Vt. t.. IL
His first boss was Dave Noyes, who
was then manager of the exchange, and
fine fellow, according to Shaw.
MIR. Shaw says that there We're. lat
that time, between five and six hundred
subscribers in the exchanges of Lewiston
and Auburn, where there are now prob
ably five or six thousand.
in addition to doing the collecting, Mr.
Shaw used to help out in operating, hav-
ing to work between 6 and a. IN. and .
and 10 p. IN.
After about year and a half he was
made telephone inspector, looking after
the Auburn exchange, while a fellow
workman, Herbert Whitney, attended to
Lewiston.
During the summer months, for four
years. Shaw went to Bar HarbOr, where
he worked for Manager Barber. After
wards he went on the road, working under
A. Williams, who was probably the first
distribution engineer the company had.
Later he went to work for the Maine
Telephone company, for one year as COM
binatiOn man. at Livermore Falls, and
then was again sent on the road working
for A. $. Haynes, placing condensers pre-
paratory to cutting over into common
battery exchanges.
Later the condenser crews were broken
up and Shaw was made z. Il. y. trouble
hunter under A. AIcAulay, district plant
chief at Springfield, Mass. He worked at
this for about year and was then trans
ferred to BrattlebOro, VT, as wire chief.
SHAW has helped cut over into COM
mon battery, Portland and Bangor, Me-,
Greenfield, South birmingham and Ply
mouth, Mass, central offices. so he has
received a thorough schooling for the posi-
ton he now holds.
Mr.. Shay is an enthusiastic telephone
man and very popular with his fellow
wOrkmen and townspeOple, having a jovialJ
and optimistic disposition, and he is cour-
teous and painstaking in all his dealings
with the public.
He is married, has two beautiful little
children, and owns a pleasant home in
BrattlebOro, and from his actions and
looks is good for many years of usefulness
and health, which all his friends wish
him"
