Why Rengo Reduces Fat.
Anti-Fats and Starvation Diet Result
in Wreclxing of the System.

Fat as a general rule comes from
the failure of the digestive organs to
do their work properly. 1t may come
also from over-eating. In these cases
there is always some part of the food
eaten which is not eliminated as it
should be, but is made up in the form
of fat and sent by the blood to va
rious parts of the body. This
accumulation continues constantly
until within comparatively short
time, the heart becomes incased in
layer or coating of fat. The heart
seems to be one of the first vital or
gans to become affected in this man
ner.
The food, therefore, in cases of fat,
Is not properly assimil1ated-that is,
part of the food is retained by the
body which should not be retained,
and part which should be retained is
thrown out. This does not always
mean dyspepsia or indigestion, for one
may have very healthy stomach and
yet begin to grow fat through no
apparent cause.
1t is evident to any one, then, that
to try to starve away the fat is both
ridiculous and dangerous. It may or
may not have the desired effect, but
what is almost certain is that a
starvation diet will give a shock to
the whole system and wreck it, The
victim then becomes a subject for the
sanitarium or becomes an invalid
The same thing happens by trying to
use anti-fats, remedies that positively
stop digestion. something which is
absurd and which sooner or later re-
suits in a break down of some organ
and consequent disease. Bright's Dis
ease, NephritiS Gastritis and Neuritis
may quickly follow such treatments.
Tropical fruit is anc has been
known for years as a remarkable
regulator of the system. BY a per-
sistent use of such mixture the
body will assume an absolutely nor
NAL condition, being neither too thin
nor too large. and preserving the bal
ance of all of the organs, making the
fortunate man or woman who uses IT
healthy and happy.
This is what Rengo does. 1t con-
tains tropical fruit mixture which
has this faculty of perfectly assimilat-
ing food taken into the body That is
the secret. 1t has resulted in making
Rengo a marvel as a fat-reducer and
a health builder. and a GoGsend to ali
fat people.
Rengo is safe. It not only reduces
your weight to normal but it in
creases your health.

HE EXPECTS TO FLY.
A Girard Mans Invention May Solve
Aerial Navigation.

Girard. Kan, April 24-The Girard
Aerial Navigation company, capital
stock $4,000 has been Incorporated for
the purpose of inaugurating the first
practical aerial navigation by means
of aeroDlanes.
Henry L. Call, an inventor. whose
project is being financed by the Girard
company, thinks he has discovered the
secret OF controlling an aeroplane in
the air, and navigating it successfII-
~.
The aeroplane has already been
perfected by others so that ii can he
operated in the air and even to a
certain extent be controlled. but Mr.
Calls invention will. he thinks. en-
able the operator to absolutely steer
and guide the aeroplane through the
air and raise and lower it at Will.
1t takes money. however. to experi
ment with aeronaustics, but Mr.. Call
succeeded in interesting a bunch of
Girard men who are financially back
ing the experiments which Mr.. CAL
is making.

Geo. D. Brewer and other Girard men
are interested in the company. Mr..
Richardson is secretary and general
manager of the company.
A large tent has been erected on
the ground formerly occupied by the
Shafter lumber yard, and here a force
of machinists is engaged in construct
ing the aeroplane.
The apparatus is somewhat on the
order of a box kite, only of course
much larger, it being possible to carry
three or four men on it. The lower
part is somewhat on the order Of an
automobile, with running gear of four
wheels and operated like an automo-
bile.
The aeroplane, when ready to fly
is run along the ground for a distance
on the four wheels, when the large
wings catch the air, the same as a
kite would, and it scars into the air.
A propeller and fan wheels carry it

FLOWER THIEVES BUSY.
VandaIs Are Making Raids on Topeka
Beautiful.

The effort to make Topeka beauti-
full is being badly handicapped by the
determined and systematic action of
school boys who rob tulip beds of
their flowers.
A great deal of this vandalism has
been going on to the intense annoy
ance of citizens who try to do their
share in making their parks and the
surroundings of their homes beautiful
Nand attractive.
A few nights ago DR.. McClintock's
beautiful tulip bed was demolished
and as many as 500 tulip blossoms
taken. Lon Woolverton and j. C.
Smith on Van Buren, street and Geo.
w. Crane at the corner of Ninth and
Harrison were likewise visited and
robbed. At Cranes place his beautiful
privet hedge was broken down in two
places that the tulips could be reach
ed. Charles Blood Smith and others
have suffered likewise.
At an Investigation at the Harrison
street school the names of several of
the guilty ones were ascertained. Fur
Their inquiry is being made, and it is
not yet determined whether to prose-
cute in the juvenile court or take
some other method. To prosecute the
value of the destroyed property, or to
prosecute in the juvenile court for
punishment of the boys have both
been suggested. and it may be thar
both plans will be pursued
1t costs quite sum of money to
buy good tulip bulbs, not counting the
work of planting and caring for them.
One serious feature of the thing is,
that if the flowers are picked the
| tulips will not bloom we'll next year.
1t is exasperating in the extreme to
have such things happening in the
community. These beautiful flowers
are source of as much pleasure to
the people who use the streets as they
are to owners of the property.
Most of the boys are sons of re-
spectacle and responsible people who
would be very much annoyed if ar
rests are made. Some of the fathers
are particular friends of the injured
parties and on that account no plan of
prosecution has as yet been agreed
upon.

Lawyer Joe Reed told a good story
while waiting for police court to open

community. He knew nearly every
one that had ever lived there. One day

told his client to ask the judge before
his honor passed sentence if he knew
Dave Wilmont Ga well known Bradford
county mani and then to reply answer
yes to the judges next question. Well,

him if he had anything to say why
he should not have heavy sentence.

FELL INTO A WELL
A CHURCHMAN'S ASSISTANT HAS , sUNPLEAsANT ExPEnIENcE.
Demopolls Man Tenders Services to 0f- @cer to Aid in Arresting Negro, But an Accident Upsets
 the Pians.

Demopolis, July 2s--(Speciai. )--Sun- day night Policeman N. c. Raley was called to arrest a negro man residing near the city. He had been informed that the negro was an artist in the running business and the oiIicer, net being a champion runner, decided that he would take no chances with the ne- gro, and deputized one of the fastest runners of the city, N. l.. Templin.
 The officer and his assistant when they arrived at the home of the negro, discovered that he had retired for the night and told Ten1plin to go around to the back door, while he gained sd- mittance into the front. The height being very dark ana Templin made a rush for the back entrance of the house. when his cries were heard coll- ing for help. He had fallen into a well about twentk feet deep,- containing about fifteen feet of water. Tenplin's cries aroused those living near by. and in short while the place was crowded with men and women, some bringing torches, others lamps, clubs and yari- ous other instruments Of pro:sction. It took but moment to place tbe rie- gro under arrest when the officer went to the rescue of his assistant.
 By the use of pole and ropes, the unfortunate man was pulled 10 the sur- face and given his liberty, sustaining only slight injuries.
