Excessive Gas in Stomach

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. When the average man moans about his ''lndigestion.” he usually means that he is troubled by one of three symptoms, excessive gas in the stomach and bowel, heartburn. or pain In the abdomen. Gas la probably the most frequently complained of and the least serious of these symptoms. The person who suffers from "gaa on the stomach” b almost certainly an air swallower, for gas b rarely formed In the stomach and then only In small quantities Thus, the person who belc hes re I peatedly first swallows air and then brings It up with a good deal of force. Inadvertently, he mates his own distress and b the victim of a bad habit rather than of real disease. This type of belching is readily prevented merely by opening the mouth for a few moments to prevent air swallowing when the desire to “burp” b felt

Many people. when they feel a little stomach distress take arnne aiksttne substance. each w baking soda. As a result of the action of the acid of the stomach on the baking soda. <arbon dioxide is form ed which artificially* produces gas Os coarse, when this gas is formed, the patient may belch it ap. In doing so, he thinks that he is get ting rid of gw when actwHy all that be is doing Is to produce gas artificially and then bring It up We often bear people talk about gw around the heart.

It the next president la a Republican, he Is likely, if past precedents mean anything, to servo , only one term, or at most, a portion of a second Radio quiz programs have already discovered this fact. There have been 13 Republican presidents, but only one, Grant, served two full terms. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Harding died tn office. Hayes did not try to run again Johnson and Arthur were not renominated. Harrison, Taft and Hoover were beaten for reelection. Both Theodore Roosevelt and Coolidge were vice-presidents before they entered the White House. So if a Republican president should be elected this year he has only slim precedent by which to expect an eight year tenure of office. Alfred Krupp and a half dozen executives of the great German munition works, have been found guilty of slave labor malpractices and plundering of foreign countries. by ah American court. In addition to meting out prison sen fences to the individuals, the court also ordered the confiscation of all Krupp property. The latter verdict is being challenged by an American attorney employed by the Krupp*. The court's decision is contrary to jurisprudence followed in this country. If a man is tried and found guilty of a crime, the court cannot order confiscation of his property, it would appear that the American court which tried the Krupp defendants overreached its authority.

At The Olympics: The United States is represented at the summer Olympic Games in London by a large team which hopes to win a goodly share of laurels. It has good precedent for these hopes, since from the outset of the series of Olympic meetings American competitors have turn ed in consistently good accounts. The series of international athletic festivals has been renewed this year after a 12-yrar interruption War prevented holding of the games in 1940 and 1944. It is well for Americans to have au opportunity again to try for world honors in sports. Our mechanical and productive skill have stirred envy of us, and those same skills turned to the making and use of military weapons in two world wars have earned prudent respect, twih a tinge of unholy fear, for the name of America. Athletic prowess, however, is one means by which we can win genuine admiration among our neighbor peoples.

separates the abdomen from the chest, and this may. of course, produce some discomfort but there is no gaa near tbe heart. The instances mentioned above account for the great majority of those who complain of gaa around the heart and yet certain disease conditions, such aa gallbladder inflammation or too much acid in tbe stomach, do cause formation of excessive gas. Thus, people who suffer from this symptom are in need of a thorough study to determine whether their trouble is due to air swallowing or whethar some type of gallbladder trouble or a bowel condition b producing their discomfort. Some people have excessive gas tiecauae they eat large amounts of starchy foods and sweets. There are ceiialo foods which are well known for their gas-producing est acts, such as navy beans and cab-

Excessive gas in the stomach and bowel is a symptom that requires Isveetigatioa by means of physical examination sad X-ray studies but. in moot instances. It is not a sertow matter particular ly if treated early, because in their early stages most stomach and bowel ailments are readily cured. Questions and A neuters A.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN DON'S VOICE broke through Anne's absorption. “What's on your mind?" She glanced up, smiling. “Oh, nothir.g much Tell me. What do you think of Helen?" "Not a great deal. Why?" "Weil, I saw you talking with her. so I wondered." “What do you?" "I? Wall, I think she's the most completely and utterly selfish person I’ve ever met." She spoke with more vehemence than she had intended and Don whistled. "Phew! You feel strongly on the matter, I gather. Why ?” So she told him. She told him of Helen's curious lack of Interest in Judy, of her detachment from the life at Stone House, of her deep-rooted determination to get John away and of her final suc-

cess. Don listened attentively, his face non-committal. When ah. had finished, he said: "And what, exactly, do you want to do about all of this?" She gave a small, helpless laugh. "That's IL What can 1 do? Nothing. It's none of my business. But really! John ought not to have to go. She ought to let him alone.

Anne had listened tn amazement First because this was the longest serious speech ’he ha< ever heard Don make, and second, because of the perception that lay behind iL She said, “How on earth did you get to know so much about Helen so soon?" Den eald lightly. "Don’t you realize yet that women are my favorite branch of study ? Ever since college." And he took her elbow again and moved with her toward the verandah. e e e Through the open doorway John saw Anne coming. He saw her gown a float.ng blue mist about her, the blue flower in her hair, her white shoulders. He was aware of her, as he alvtays was, in *ll of his senses, and he thought, “She is something that has happened to me that 1 can't stop or change. That I don’t want to stop or i change." But the knowledge was a stone In his heart. Most of the time it was a stone .

Dixiecrats Count 24 Electoral Votes Mississippi Latest To Pledge Support By United Press The Dixiecrats counted 24 electoral votes tn the bag today in their bid to throw the pagzidential election Into the House of Representatives where the south could toss its weight around. Mississippi electors are the latest to pledge their support to the states' rights ticket of Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and Gov. Fielding Wright of Mississippi. The state has nine votes. The Dixiecrats are hoping to get 138 electoral votes in the south and 43 in the border states. If they can deprive President Truman of the south's votes and if the Republicans fail to get a majority of the 531 ballots, then the House would decide the issue. In addition to Mississippi's nine votes, the Dixiecrats have been assured of 11 from Alabama and at least four from Florida. They are counting on support, too, from North Carolina (14) and Louisiana < 10) The Dixiecrats' strategy is to try to get state conventions to reconvene and name new slates of presidential electors pledged to the Thurmond-Wright ticket. In other political developments: Dewey — If elected, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the Republican presidential nominee, reportedly will recommend a complete reorganization of the state department. Dewey is said to favor an extensive "trained diplomatic corpa. He' believes that the nation should employ about 1,000 young career diplomats to serve an apprenticeship in various state department posts throughout the world. Labor — CIO and AFL spokesmen said a Connecticut judge's recent decision, upholding the TaftHartley act’s ban on political expenditures will have no effect whatsoever on their plans to campaign for a pro-labor congress. CIO President Philip Murray was said

Uons and leave politics and expediency and greed out, we would begin to get somewhere.” Mr. Hopkinson drew a breath and at back. "1 do wish you’d write a book for me.’ “What kind of book?" “A book to awaken Americans. Along the linos that we'vs been talking, of course. But a book with all the passion Li it that you feel for this whole problem. There would have to be passion in it for it to be read. There would have to be people tn It, to, along with ycur theories about—cay—organic chemistry a- the primary necessity for the restoration of the soil.” He smiled. "I realize I'm being a bit vague. But then if 1 could tall a man exactly how to vrite a book I would write it myself and be saved a lot of bother and a whole lot of money." John said thoughtfully. The point, of course, would be that our economic security and the economic welfare of the rest of the world, as well, rente on the land. That without that economic security America is a dying power. And that unless we salvage what is left to u« from our pilfering predecessors—the forests as well as the farms—and get back to the idea of a balanced budget thrift, honest wages for honest work and the re-establishment of Individual I nds pen vanes in place of dependence on subsidies and pensions — Unless we do all that we will shortly approximate tn living conditions here those that now exist in Euroo« * ‘But that’s impossible!" John looked up. Anne and Don had come through the doorway and it was Don who had spoken He had thrown his challenge because he had felt that the eoavereattna was ending just as be was arriving. and he wanted to hear this John, about whom Anne had MUd oo much, CaUl Anae said. “John, thia Io Donald Ogdea. Tra told you about bun And Mr. Hopkinson. Mr. Ogden And Mr. Peters—" She went around the group. Don acknowledged the introductions impatiently and then turned to John again. "America could never possibly slide down to Europe’s level," be said. John's glance met hie quietly “Never Io a ieag word And no nation io always immune to its own mad errors. Ours have been co great—and still are—that wo have already gone further along that road than most people realise" He began to quote statistics He scored pump-priming and political maneuvering and the peevetent national doaiat to got aomaUsing for nothing- He talked quickly, forcefully, white Don stared at him through a cloud of cigarette smoke.
