Nerve Shocks

Any form OF excitement that
shocks the delicate nerves Of the
stomach will disturb the function
OF that organ and produce gas.
Anger, fright, grief and worry,
all have an OWL eject upon the d.

a better term doctors call this
condition nervous dyspepsia"
Baalmann's Gas Tablets are
made especially for the relief OF
gas and stomach distress. They
act in a safe, natural way upon
the weak stomach nerves and
glands, gradually helping to re.
store their normal strength and
activity. When this is done you

Accident Deaths increase
"Thel automobile accident death
rate for both industrial and ordt4
nary business combined shows q
slight increase over the figure re-
corded for the year 1921 10 per
cent. } But the increase OF q per
cent for industrial policyholders
is a really significant fact It
means that the risk Of death from
the automobile has increased de-
cidedly this year for persons who
use the streets. and this applies
particularly 10 children whose
deaths figure so prominently in
the mortality record for this
cause. Fully one-third Of the au-
tomoblle fatalities occur among
children under is, and these are
insured for the most part In In

perience reported for the first
ten months Of the year we may
say that in 1922 there will be

Of the United States and Canada
the increase will probably amount
to between 10000 and $4,000
over last year. But probably more
important than the increased NOR
tally from influenza and pneu.
monia is the rise Of mortality for
a group OF diseases which are
broadly designated as degenera-
tive diseases. Heart disease NOR
tally is actually per cent higher
this year than last and this ap-
plies equally to ordinary as well
as to the industrial companies.
The mortality experience OF the
summer and fall OF this year has
been so extraordinarily good,
however, as TO Offset IN a measure

In the early part Of the year."

"The explanation Is entirely

The Oriental stopped over q IL.

II have observed them closely
replied the Prefect OF Police.
There are seven OF these blood
drops. They are about the length
OF mans step apart, and they are
each clearly visible on a whits
square of the floor. Your explana
ton seems admirable, monsieur"
He turned suddenly from con.
temptation of these evidences irto
a vague casuistry.
Monsieur" he said, II haya
thought a great deal about chance
evidences Of crime. Do you suppose
there are any laws Of chance "
The Oriental seemed to reflect.
"The very word chance mon
sieur," he said, "precludes the run.
ming Of any law. Events which re.
suit from the operation OF law are
naturally outside of the definition
OF the word chance"
Theprefect Of Police did not
pause to discuss this comment: he
went on, as though the reply were
merely an interruption of his dis.
course.
Events he said, "all indicatory
evidences In criminal investigation,
we divide into two classes; those
which happen by design and those
which happen by chance. By de.
sign we mean by the will and In.
tention Of some individual and by
chance we mean all those events
which happen outside OF such an
intention. Would you think, mon.
sieur, that there would be any dis.
tinguishing features, by virtue ot
which one might put indicatorY
evidence Of a crime under one or
the other Of these heads?"
He continued as though he had

ly engaged his attention.
ut Is an immense and fascinat-
ing field for speculation. 1t seems
to be the persistent belief OF every
human intelligence that It can. bv
design, create a sequence OF indi.
gatory evidences which will have
all the appearance Of a happening
by chance. But after long reflec.
ton and the study OF innumerable
instances, l have come to the con.
clusion that this thing cannot be
done. 1t is my opinion that no M.
man intelligence can grasp tina
vast. ramificationAof events with, a
sufficient comprehension to enable
1t to lay down a sequence OF false
evidences that will have, at every
point, the aspect Of a chance hap

to the local water and light company,
almost a shortage of water in this
