You need a sufficient amount Of

this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and

You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-

But this food must be digestei,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will

As an example to the youth Of the
time, Marcas Crassus, commencing
as a poor man, soon, by means OF
shrewd wars and thrifty fires,
amassed fortune such that after
he had consecrated tenth of his es-
tate to the god Hercules, had given
an entertainment to the entire Ro-
man populace and supply of corn
to earh citizen, he still had left the
snug little sum of $7,500,000. be-
sides the ownership of about tenth

who enabled the great Caesar to ac-

he was so overwhelmed with debt

Vancouver, 3. c., Aug. l.--Five hun.
dred persons are known TO he dead in
the forest fires which have been
sweeping the Elk river section for
nearly two days.
Fernie is almost totally DESTROYED.
One hundred and seventy.fivs are dead
in this vicinity. Sparwocd and Olsen,
with populations of nearly 1000, have
not been heard from except meagerly,
through refugees, and it is feared they,
too. are In ashes. Homer and Michel,
first believed destroyed, have been al
least partially saved. At Hosmer
buildings were being dynamited when
refugees who have just arrived here
left that settlement.
Thos. Biggs, secretary OF the miners
union, estimates that the loss in Fer.
ME and surrounding mines will reach
$4,000 900.
The total loss OF life and property
cannot be e=.imated, for wires are
down throughout the burned district,
which is 100 miles square. Some place
the property damage at $40, 900, 900.
Hundreds of persons, reports from
Sparwood say, have been cut of in
that section by the flames and are
without food or shelter. The fires adj.
vanced so swiftly that in many cases
escape was impossible, and the fleeing
victims we're shriveled up before the
leaping flames as they fed to the prai
ries for safety
All through the Elko and Kootenay
valleys the flames are still raging. but
the winds have died down and there Is
little danger of further loss of life
should they continue to abate
From every point tales of death and
ruin are pouring in.
At Camp No. OF the Elk River
Lumber Co., 81 men and two women
have been burned TO death, ana
throughout the whole of the fire.swept
region scores of isolated settlements
have been wiped out.
The whole country Is one mighty
furnace, with its inhabitants fleeing,
foodless and shelterless, to the bald
mountain tops to escape the seas OF
fire which roar below.
Dreadful as the loss OF life in the
towns Is, however, It will be found
small In comparison with the number
of lives sacrificed at outlying camps
when these subsiding flames permit
the compiling Of a true list of the
dead.
All through the Kootenay and Elko

densely timbered hills. At these spots,
