Germany Studying Bread.

In the production and control of a
pure-food supply by thoroughly sci
entific methods the Germans are dis
posed to keep their lead. The new
gove-nment institute for milling re-
sssrcn supplementins the two insti-
tute. for research in the sugar and
fermentation industries, is equipped
with an experimental granary, a
wheat and rye mill and bakery, to-
gether with administrative offices and
laboratories, the machinery and ap-
paratus being of the most advanced
kind, all driven by electricity. The
mill has two distinct plants, each
milling two tons of grain in ten hours.
The purpose of the Institute is to
carry out practical research and SCI
entihc investigation on grain during
storing, milling, working up and
baking, to experiment with the bak-
ing of home and imported grain: to
conduct research work for the gov
ernment, and to carry out official and
private analyses of grain, flour, fod-
der stuffs, etc. Every effort will be
made to investigate thoroughly the
numerous problems OF milling and
baking.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Too late going to bed, too early ris-

Long walks before breakfast are very
bad for delicate people, and often

For all nervous headaches hot To-
mentations are most comforting and
curative. They are far better than
cold applications.
Want of exercise, living in badly
ventilated rooms, Indigestion or any
thing that lowers the health, predis-
poses to headache.
When headaches are not cured by
simple means, a doctor should be con

STRAW FOR HATS.
How the Wheat is Planted and Gar
notwithstanding the Stalks.

Few people know where the straw
for making summer hats comes from.
A great part of it is grown in Italy.
TO make suitable straw the wheat is
sown as thickly as possible, in order
that the growth of the plant may be
impoverished, as well as to produce u
thin stalk having toward the end from
the last knot the lightest and longest
straw.
The wheat blooms at the beginning
of June, and is pulled up by the roots
by hand when the grain is half de-
veloped. If allowed to remain in the
ground a longer time the straw would
become brittle.
About five dozen uprooted branches,
the size of the compass of two hands,
are firmly tied together into little
sheayes and slowed away in barns.
Then the straw is again spread out to
catch the heavy summer dews and to
bleach in the sun. After additional
bleaching the straw is put into small
bundles and classified.
Finally it is cut close above the
first joint from the top and again tied
up in small bundles containing about
sixty stalks each.-Golden Halfpenny.

YOU'RE TOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal Deysngsmens
Of tie Stomach Produce Iefd Fer
mentafion Of tie Food
It's Stomach CatosyA

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rca-
sons. Probably In such cases nothing
can be done TO CT ange this personal
peculiarity.
But there are large number OF pco-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fleshy
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-maSing foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods are not digested in tho
stomach at all. They are digcsted In
the duodenum, the division OF tho all
mentary canal just below the stomach
The digestion of fat is mainly, II not
wholly, the work OF tho pancreatic
Juice. This juice Is of alkaline rcac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity of tho
digestive fluids OF tho stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not d.
gested or emulsifled, and the system In
deprived OF its due proportion OF oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning OF the trouble Is 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, II the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta~
ton will take place. This creates =
hyperacidity of tho stomach Juices
which In their turn prevent the pan
creatic 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 juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. II then
! only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.
