rs Stomach Cat017h

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
peculiarly.
But there are q large number Of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fcshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipo5o tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents OF food.
The fat.makinE foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbon5. This
class OF foods are not digested in tho
stomach st all. They are digosted in
the duodenum, the division of tho ALI
mcntarv canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, II 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-
gestcd or cmulsifled, and the system Is
deprived Of its due proportion OF oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning OF the trouble Ia n ca
tarrhal condition OF tine stomach which
causes hypcracidity OF the gastric
Juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
sch, II the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates q
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
! 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 juice IL thun
/ preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient 10 cat a
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

Spent Life and Own fortune.
Zeppelin had devoted his life time
and personal fortune to the develop

lost today was the fourth he had con-
structed. When his own money had
become exhausted, the German reich
stag voted him $4,000 to conduct
further experiments, and No. was
the result. The German government
agreed to purchase this ship on condi-
ton it fulfilled certain requirements,
the prin ncipal one being TO remain in
the air "a hours and land on terra

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 5.-The terri
bly, destructive forest fires which have

vast forests on the mountain sides, and
it is thought they will soon burn them
selves out.
There has been suffering among the
homeless owing to lack of food and
shelter, but this has been alleviated Oh

The governor was found on the golf
links of the Onwentsia Country club
by an Associated Press representative.
In response to a request for state
ment on the death of Allison, he said:
Allison will be long remembered.
not only in Iowa, but throughout the
whole country. He rendered most
useful service to the nation during his
public career which for length has
scarcely a parallel in the history of
the United States.
He was a calm contemplative man.
and for many years his counsel has
neen more generally sought than that
of any other man in public life. Had
he lived to the end of his term, which
he was holding at the time of his
death, he would have served his state
&c consecutive years in the senate.
'He entered congress in the middle
of the civil war and his influence has
been felt in all the important legis-
lation of the past 45 years. His death
will be lamented everywhere. but no
where so profoundly as among the
people of Iowa"
