Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to CT ange this personal
popularity.
Bet there are large number of PEG
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and feshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
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-making 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 stomach
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 addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested o. emulsifed, and the system is
deprived of it's due proporti ton of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is a ca
tarrhaI condition Of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the st0m-
ach, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place, This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
create digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose OF Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

.BESSEMER TRIES "TAG DAY" SCHEME Neat Sum Is Melted for the Li-
 brary Fund ALDERMEN KICK ON BOARD Say They Have Some Remarks To Make at Council Meeting About
 Beard of Education
 sMeeting.
ALDERMEN KICK ON BOARD

Bessemer. April Special )-To- day was tag" day in Bessemer and be it said to the credit of most of the men that they came up to all expecta- tions and did their share towards helping the library along in the pur- chase of new books The ladies were out on the streets at an early hour. and every man that passed was given a chance to contribute to the library fund. After the close of the days work it was found that the ladies had collected $S5.40, and they could have done much more had they had about two days in which to accomplish the work.
 The following ladies helped in the good cause: Mrs. Andrew c. Mitchell, Mrs. Fred Robinson, Mrs. Robert Crook, Mrs. Lacy Edmundson, Mrs. Hanby and Miss Sudie Crook, Miss Lucie Carroll and Miss Williams.
 The fact that the ladies would be out at an early this morning was an- nounced in The Age Herald yesterday morning and for that reason most of the men came down town with just one quarter in their jeans so they would be in position to tell the truth when called upon for a donation.
 Several funny little stunts were pulled off during the morning. One man stated that he would give $100 to see the library put out of business. but he would not give 1 cent toward helping it along. This might sound like a joke, but the man that made that remark happens to be one of the wealthiest men in Bessemer, and for 11a tn 1,a nct little out of the ordinary. On the other hand, a man who is known to every man, woman and child in Bessemer gave 30 cents for one tag and he eX- plained that he would call by a little later and buy three more tags, and he proposed to retain them all as souve- mfrs of the good work that the ladies of Bessemer had done with regard to making the library one of the most popular places in the city.
 Mrs Andrew C. Mitchell carried off the collection honors, she having man aged to get together as much as $22.32. When questioned in regard to the odd amount she stated that she had met one man who stated that he only had F cents and she was more than well come to that. Of course she took it for the good of the library. but she failed (and it is thought by a good many of her friends that she did so intentionally to tag the 12 cents vic tenn. Mrs. Mitchell denies this charge, but she failed to state just what caused the lapse of memory. The ladies all worked hard and the day was quite a success. Mrs. Robinson stated this evening that she believed with the help obtained by the library today, a pretty good showing could be made with re- gard to the current magazines and the latest books.

Meeting of tho New Club.

meeting of the Civic Improvement club will be held at the library hall to- morrow afternoon at o'clock and every lady in Bessemer is cordially invited to be on hand
 As stated in The Age-Herald a few days ago the object of the club is to help in every way possible to beauty Bessemer and unless all of the ladies in the city will extend their services it will mean that the largest portion of the work will devolve upon the few that have started the work going.
 There are a great many things that the ladies of the city can do in this con- nection, such as helping to improve the different school grounds and making the City park more presentable.
 MT. Lopez, who has charge of City park. stated not so many days ago that he would be more than glad to have the co-operation of the ladies in connection with the work in the park.
 The city allows MT. Lopez very small amount to keep the park up and when there is taken into consideration the amount of real damage that crowd of little girls and boys can do, it will be readily seen that he has his hands full
 Anything that the new club can ac- complish along this line will be more than appreciated by a great majority -of the residents of the city and the ladies should bv all means be encouraged in their new undertaking.

Aldermen Reoister Collections.

Alderman Ed Thomas and Alderman Lacy Edmundson were interviewed tIIs evening with regard to the new school board.
 Both of these gentlemen were very em- phatic in expressing their views and AL derman Thomas did not hesitate to state that he was not at all in favor of Dr. R. P McTyeire being secretary. He the five-year appointment and he believed that should certainly be enough to satisfy even him. He stated that he was strictly in favor of electihg an outsider to the position, whether it paid $1 or $50 per month. He did not believe that any mem Der of the board should be selected to serve in this capacity and he proposed to have a few things to say along this line at the meeting of the City Council tomorrow evening"
 Alderman Edmundson stated that he believed pr. McTyeire had received all that was coming to him and he did not believe he should be elected as secretary, and he too, would have a few remarks to hand out along this line tomorrow evening.
 The question has been the subject of a great deal of comment within the last two days and it appears at the present time to be the general opinion that an out sider should be elected to the position. The question will have to be settled at the meeting tomorrow evening and in the meantime the result of the meeting is awaited with deep interest by whole score of BeSsemer folk
