mechanism OF his body as he under
stands the machinery of the mill, he
would know that when man is weak
and run down, when his activities are
slowed down If not altogether stopped,
there is something wrong with the power
plant of the body.
The power pla=t of the body includes
the stomach and its associated organs of
digestion and nutrition. All physical
strength is derived from food digested
aud converted into nutrition. Nutrition
is the power which runs the body.
When nutrition fails the body fails. The
chemical changes by which food is con-
verted into nutrition take place in the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts When the stomach is diseased,
the nutrition is reduced and the body's
power is reduced in proportion.
A DOCTORS DTcTUM.
An eminent physician in a lecture to
medical students, said in substance,
uWhen you are called on by sick per-
son the first examination must be di-
rected TO the stomach" Just as the
mechanic knows the powers off when
the machinery stops, so the physician
when he sees a man weak, tired, and
helpless, knows the power is off. The
food the man eats is not being converted
into nutrition When food is digested,
assirnilated and converted into nutrition
it must strengthen the body When the
body is weak, deficient in vitality and
vigor. il must be because it is INSULT
GENTLY nourished, either from lack of
food or because the food eaten is not
digested and converted into nutrition
Peculiarly and generally this condition
Is described as "weak stomach or
"stomach trouble"

physical condition to the weak stom-
ach and the rundown condition to

When the Power is Off
What Happens 3?

Every factory worker and mechanic
knows what happens when the power is
off. Everything stops. The machinery
is idle. If mechanic were taken into
a factory and saw the machinery silent
md motionless he'd know at once that
the power was Off When you shut off
the power from plant you shut off its
activity.
If every factory and mill-hand, every
mechanic and workman, understood the

the physical power house, the next thing
to do is TO consider how to turn on the
power again, restore the vigor and renew
the activity.
The best way to explain how to do this
is 10 show how it has been done.

SAYS HIS LIFE is MENACED
Attorney Swears Opponents Threaten
Him for Prosecuting Mayor
Ames' AppOiDtees.

MINNEAPOLIS, June There was q
sensational interruption of the trial of
Irwin A. Gardner in Judge Harrison's court
this afternoon. when County Attorney
Smith submitted an afidavit setting forth
that his life had been threatened because
of his participation in the prosecution.
The afhdavit mentions the name of Mayor
Ames as one OF those anxious to stop
pressure OF the case against Gardner, who
as a special police inspector is accused Of
having accepted a bride to protect shark
gambling establishments from police inter-
ference.
Chief Of Police Ames, a brother of the
mayor, is also under indictment.
Previous to the %springing u this sensa-
ton Mayor Ames was on the stand as a
witness for the defense. He swore that he
had never received the $500 which Ed
wards and Crossman, confidence men, had
sworn they had paid to Gardner to give
them protection. but his mind was blank
on. many things Of vital Importance. He
could not explain why he had appointed
Gardner a special oficer without pay, but
said he revoked the appointment two
months after It was made. He could not
explain why there was no allusion to this
step in the records kept by his secretary.
The point is, IL Gardeners commission
was revoked before the commission OF the
alleged crime, he cannot be convicted OF
having received a bribe as ar officer Of
the police department. This would make
a technical defense.
