Wheat is ripening very rapidly. Cut

This is a fine field and it has stood

YOU'RE TOO THIN
EUen Slight Catarrhal DeSamgensenks
OF the Stomach Produce Acid Fer
menfatf0n of the Food.
IT'S Stomach CataFYh

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number of
people who get thin, or remain thin.
who naturally would be plump and
fleshy but for some digestive derange-
ment.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed
of fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uentS of food.
The fat-ma king foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class of foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum. the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stom-
ach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly. the work of the pancreatic
juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton. and is rendered inert by the ad-
dition of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach pass
ing down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore. the fats are not d.
gested or emulsified. and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient
grows thin.
The beginning of the trouble is a
catarrhal condition of the stomach
which causes hyperacidity of the gas
trio juices. This hyperacidity is
caused by fermentation of food in the
stomach. When the food is taken into
the stomach, if the process of diges-
ton does not begin Immediately, acid
fermentation will take place. This
creates a hyperacidity of the stomach
juices which in their turn prevent the
pancreatic digestion of the oils, and
the annexation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastenS the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
of the contents of the
and the pancreatic juice is
thus preserved in its normal state. 1t
then only remains for the patient to
eat a sufficient amount of fat-form-
ing foods, and the thinness disappears
and plumpness takes its place.

ANACOSTIA AFFAIRS.

The fact that no action has been taken
as far as can be learned, by the District
officials looking to the expenditure OF
the sum of $40 900 in the erection of a new
police station in AnacOstia. which amount
has been available since July last has
led to a report that the officials of the
department are averse to expanding so
small a sum In this work. but that they
prefer to seek another and a larger ap-
preparation for the building. The site
was purchased at Morris road and Mich

been done since The report that has
gained currency concerning the non-eX-
