This IS all very well, but Niagara
still leads In the impresstveness OF its
proportions. The Zambesi falls are
two miles wide, four times the width
Of Niagara. In order to preserve the
relative proportions of the latter the
African falls should therefore be four
times its height, or 632 feet.
Its real height of 42O feet Is lsss
than three times that Of Niagara.
This changes its relative proportions

THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal Dk>axgsmess
Of the Stomach Produce Acid Fer
Nenhaflo1 Of the Food.
It's Stomach Cutu17h

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 feshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue 10 chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat 10 derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods arc not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division Of the all
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, tho work Of the pancreatio
juice. This juice ia of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton Of acid. A h~yperacidity Of the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the p~ancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsif1ed, and the system 10
deprived OF its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of tho trouble is q CO.
tarrhal condition Of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity OF the gastric
juices. This h~yperacidity Is caused by
fermentation Of food in the stomach.
When the food Is taken into the stom-
ach, IL the process OF digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid ferments-
ton will take place. This. creates q
hyperacidity Of the stomach juices
which In their turn prevent the pam
crestic digestion Of the oils, and the
em~aciation 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. It then
only remains for the patient to eats
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes it's place.

intention to submit complete response

the department as the excuse for the
delay.
The senate passed the Tillman reso-

treasury to report the number of ma

ceivers since Jan. 1, 1893; the capital
stock of each and the names and COM
