new RICHMOND
TERR0RSTRICKEN
BY WIND STORM
INHABITANTS FEAR REPETITION
OF 1899 DISASTER WHEN
BLOW COMES UP.
MANY RUSH FOR SHELTER.
Today's Damage Is Slight, but Broken
Poles and Trees Strew the
Streets.
PLATE GLASS is HARD HIT

NEW RICHMOND, Wis, June %
(SpeciaD.-Just ten days after the ninth
anniversary Of the tornado, which laid
New Richmond in ruins, almost wiping
out the city, a storm struck the city
early this morning, which because of
its similarity to the first attack of the
death dealing tempest of June u, 1899,
brought terror to the hearts of the in
habitants. The first roar of the storm
with It's booming sound, and sharp
squalls which seemed to come from all
directions confirmed the people who had
passed through the tornado in the be-
lief that another disaster was about to
overtake New Richmond.
However the storm this morning
turned to a sharp rain squat, which
resembled a cloudburst in its fierceness,
and rainfall exceeded an inch and half
III a few minutes. The rain was ac-
companied by hail, and sharp lightning
which added to the ferocity of the storm
by deafening thunder.
Many Rush for Shelter.
The city, i'll view of the former expert
ence, when 125 people were killed and
wv iNNN lAiJuAIb, was dIlILOoL DttltllS ANb
by fear this morning. The wind came
up out of dead calm, the main currents
blowing from the southwest just as it did
on June u, 1899. Then a powerful
counter current came from the north
west, the currents seeming to unite over
the city. The cry that another judgment
Of nature had fallen upon New Rich
mond seemed to have been communicate
ed to every man, woman and child, for
no sooner has the first terrific blasts
struck than people were seen running in
all directions for shelter. Many sought
refuge in cellars, and then before many
could get under cover the storm was
over, and the rain fell in torrents.
Today's Damage Slight.
The 1899 storm was perhaps one of
the worst on record of late years as 1t
swept everything clean in its path of
twenty-five niles, doing a property dam
age to the amount of at least million
dollars, and practically destroying the
whole city of New Richmond
1t was therefore with light hearts that
the people of this city looked upon the
comparatively slight damages done by
the storm this morning, which, however,
strewed the streets with electric lights,
trees and poles and telephone wires. A
few buildings were practically unrOofed,
and the large chimney of the Catholic
church was blown down, while the heavi-
est damage done was to plate glass win
doWS. No one was IN ured.

YOU'RETOO THIN
E'VSn Slight Catarrhal Deraneemcuts
Of tie Stomach Produce Acid Fer
nsentatfon Of tie Food.
It's Stomach Ctgtu17h

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 peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and tieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin peonie 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, hydrocar bons. 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 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 n ca
tarrhal 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 stom-
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
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. Bv
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juicei thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.
