MI SOLE AND NOT FAT.
What Thin People Need 10 Round OF
the Corners

What thin folks need is flesh or
muscle, not fat
TO be symmetrical and properly pro-
portioned every person should have a
certain amount of excess flesh. but to
tie plump does not necessarily mean
70 be fat.
Fat is undesirable il clogs and re
taris the action OF the muscles. inter
feres with the healthy action of the
heart ana lungs ana when very cH-
CeSSivc, prcdisposcs too fatty degenera-
ton of vital organs, to say nothing Of
the discomfort resulting from too lnuch
adiposc tissue.
Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes 10 bpcom" 1ieShy ana
plump the thing; most needed would be
flesh forming food that is. alh,tminous
foods like eggs. beef. oatmeal. etc.
The kinds of food which make flesh
are the foods we have on our tables
every day; but the trouble is that Our
stomachS. from weakness or derange-
ment of some kind do not promptly
and properly digest it.
Really, the principal reason so many
people remain thin is because their
plctely digest and assimilate the
flesh forming becfsteak and eggs we
eat every day.
There are thousands of such people,
and they are really dvspeptics al
, though they may not suffer any par
| ticular pain or Inconvenience from
their stomachs.
If such persons and all thin people
would take after their meals some
simple and natural digestive, like STU
| arts Dyspepsia Tablets the food would
be quickly digested and the proper de-
gree of plumpness very soon result be
cause these tablets are prepared ex-
| actly for that purpose. They digest
every variety of flesh forming food,
which is the real reason why they so
| quickly build up and strengthen thin.
dyspeptic men and women

every form of indigestion on this COM

the body. and the weakened stomach

nuired to cure any stomach trouble.

Galveston, Texas September l4-Mr, w.

committee appointed for that purpose
came down from Houston Friday morning
and succeeded in Strengthening out the
matter OF transportation between Calves
ton and Virginia Point, which has been in
q badly mixed condition heretofore, Ac-
cording to the arrangements made today
Chairman ID. B. Henderson OF the local
transportation committee established an
office at pier %. where he can directly
supervise his work He was given COM
plete discretionary power to issue passes
TO any point 10 those who are not we'll able
to pay. Heretofore any one who had
money no matter how small tho amount,
was expected to purchase tickets. which
IN some cases took their last cent.
Arrangements were also made to have
the Lawrence. which was hoated Thurs
day morning make regular trips between
Galveston and Texas City and also to run
barges between Galveston and Clinton az
rapidly as Houston Direct Navigation com
pany tugs may be had to move them, Al

and taken to Houston.
II this plan works smoothly, and there 4
