June: W. Barton, M. D. g0$0b§obi>oti>e WHAT CAUSES GAS

f have written before about an outstanding professional hockey player. who, as a student. suffered severe attacks of gas pressure in the stomach before eat-h intercollegiate . game. l told him his pain from gas I. pressure was due to his nervous- ‘ ness which caused him to swallow air and that. once he started the t game he would be all right. I gave

hint a couple of charcoal tablets to

, absorb the gas in the meantime. I

. believe he overcame the habit of

swallowing air when he became a professional.

What causes gas?

In “Iowa State Medical Journal." Des Moines. Dr. Walter C. Alvarez. Mayo Clinic, answers this question as he has studied the qllcallOlll of what causes flatulence (wind or gas! for 35 years. There is some in- terfenco with the normal absorp- tion of gas from the bowel. Much gas appears to come out suddenly from the blood. Some is formed during digestion.

In the healthy person gas form- . cd in the bowel is rapitlly picked -] . up by the blood, carried to the

lungs and thrown out in the

l breath. Gas or swallowed air goes, through the bowel rapidly and!

without pain unless spasm is pres-l ent. Spasm is present most often where the individual is allergic to certain foods.

Belching, often repeated, i: due i-u swallowed air caused by ner~ vousnt-ss or emotional disturbances, especially in those who worry about this gas and about digestion gen- erally.

True bloating of abdomen can be due to eating. to being hurt phy- sically, to taking a nap. to consti- pation. An excess of gas may be due to swallowing air. to indiges- tion, to constipation or to eating more food than the bowel can handle, or to eating certain gas forming foods-cabbage. cauliflow- er, onions, lettuce. Gas can be pro- duced by any disease that inter- feres with the circulation or the various jobs done by the liver. A smooth diet with no foods eaten to which one is allergic will pre- vent many gas attacks. some per- sons are relieved if they keep the colon tlargc bowel) clean with enemas. Occasional enemas are helpful; too many enemas lower the tone of muscle: throwing out wastes from bowel.

Suspicious Wife.

Disillusioned Office Worker Mistrusfs All Men

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I wu married at the ago of 33. For fourteen years previous I worked in an office, where I came in close contact with men. Day after day I heard these men devise stories to hand their wives to cover up improper association with women. This experience has been the cause of a complex, which is becoming most serious, For 1 am now married and miserable because I cannot trust my husband. Every time he leaves the house I work myself into a

state because l mistrust him every minute. When we were first mar- ried I trusted him implicitly, until one night he deceived me about where he had bet-n. suspicions that

Since then I have been so unhappy over my it is seriously affecting my health. There must be a sane way of thinking about a subject of this kind. Will you be kind enough to give me a start on the right track? x

ANSWER: Perlupc the wife who is wise to the ways of men can never recapture the faith that she has lost, but she can look two facts in the eye. One is that the reason most husbands lie to their wives is that their wives drive them to it. When a husband knows that. if he tells his wife the truth about where he is going or what he is going to do, or evcn about some innocent thing that her jealousy will distort into a crime, he is going to save himself by telling a falsehood.

Never shall I forget one young man who, in recounting to me the virtues of a girl he had married, wound up his panegyrlc by ex- claiming: "And just think, Miss Dix, I can tell her the truth." Isn't she grand? I thought a man always had to lie to his wife."

The other fact is that it is futile to watch a man. Somewhere the espionage system always breaks down. No woman is clever enough to keep tab on her husband's every movement and prevent his deceiving her if he wants to.

So in the end you Itnve to trust your husband all in all, or not at all, If he loves you well enough to be faithful to you, he will be. and. if he doesn't, he won't, and there is nothing in the world you can do about it. If he isn't. trustworthy, he is simply not worth losing sleep about. ‘

To think that every time your husband leaves you he goes on some orgy; to suspect that he is having a liaison with every woman he speaks to; to believe that he has nothing of honor in hlm, is to de- grade your own mind as much as it is to'lnsult hlm-

Snap out of this morbid state of mind. The fact that you have known a few philanderlng husbands doesn't argue that all are. DOROTHY DIX

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a man of 32 and have always told every girl l. went out with that I loved her. Now. a girl that I told that to believed mennd wants me to settle down and merry her. which I don't want to do. I fee! sorry for her and I haven't got the nerve to tell her that I don't care for her. What must I do?

ROSE FETAL PETE

ANSWER: I should think that a man who signs himself "Rose Petal Pete" would have imagination enough to cope with any situa- tion, so I feel that any advice of mine is superfluous.

However, as you ask my opinion, I urge you to undccelve the girl at once as to your sentiments. Probably it won't astonlsh her or break her heart as much as you think it will. At any rate, don't marry a girl whom you don't love just because you haven't the courage to let her know you were kidding her. She would find it out soon enough after you were married and that would mean misery both for her and for you.

DOROTHY DIX

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We have four children, the youngest a baby 4 months old, My husband says three children are nil we can take care of and wants to give the baby to a nice couple whom we know who have no children and want to adopt him. They are well- to-do and could do for the child more than we can. My husband ls crazy about the three other children, but doesn't scem to care for this baby. I am afraid if I do not yield to my husband about this that it will break up our family and we have always been so happy and congenial. What should I do’!

MRS. G. G. M.

ANSWER: I think that when it came to really giving up the child that your husband would find that hc couldn't do it. I-lis lovc for the little creature would be too much. So why don't you get. the couple who want the child to keep it for a few months and see if the arrangement works?

Of course, if you are not able to feed the child and give it the proper cure, it will be better for it to be ln a home where it can be given the things it needs, but many of the greatest men and women
