ATTEMPT AT
MURDER TO ROB
Robert Engleman. a Tramp At
taCks Gus Johnson in His
Place OF Business While in
the Act of Fixing The Fire in
the Stove.

Robert Engleman, tramp and bum,
with a hard reputation arrived in this
city Monday morning and in the af-
ternoon about two o'clock, he went
into Gus Johnson's saloon. After
standing inside few minutes he
asked Mr.. Johnson if he was alone.
He replied that he was. The tramp
then approached the bar and asked
for a glass of beer. 1t was handed
10 him and he placed a nickel upon
the bar in payment therefor. While
Il e tramp was drinking the beer Mr..
Johnson stepped from behind the bar
TO the stove to fix the fire.
While in this act with his
back toward the tramp, he stabbed
Mr. Johnson twice before he realized
what the tramp was doing, not ex
pecting any such action from the
tramp as they had had no trouble or
words. Mr.. Johnson hurried to the
front door of his business place and
called for help. A large number of
men responded and the tramp was
taken into custody by Chief of Police
Garrihee and taken to the county
Jail Mr.. Johnson received the first
cut across the left hand and the sec
ond cut into the right shoulder, close
to the jugular vein in the neck, just
missing that important artery of the
body. There was no prOvocation for
this assault and it was murderous
in its intent. The tramp intended to
muruer the man, rob his person and
the money drawer of it's contents
and skip.

YOU'RE Q THIN,
Even Slight Catarrhal Deyansements
~ tile Stomach Produce Heid Fer
mcnhakion Of the Food.
It's Stomach CutuxyA

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea.
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can DO done to c tango this personal
popularity.
But there are q largo number Of poo
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would bo plump and fleshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adiposo tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from tho oily constit-
uents OF food.
The f~at-making foods are called by
Tho Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods arc not digestcd in the
stomach at all. They are digostcd in
the duodcnum, the division OF the ali.
mentary canal Just below the stomach.
Tho digestion Of fat is mainly, II not
wholly, the work OF tho pancreatlc
Juice. This Juice is OF alkaline rcnc-
ton, and is rendered inert by tho addi.
ton OF acid. A hyperacidity Of tho
digestive fluids OF the stomach passing
down into tho duodcnum, destroys
tho pancrcatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not d.
gestcd or emulsincd, and the system IL
deprived Of its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Henco, tho patient grows
thin.
Tho beginning OF tho trouble is n ca
tarrhal condition Of the stomach which
causes hypcracidity OF tho gastric
Juices. This h~ypcracidity Is caused by
fermentation Of food In tho stomach.
When the foo Ia taken into the stom-
ach, II the process OF digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermcnta-
ton will take place. This creates q
hypcracidity OF tho stomach Juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion OF tho oils, and tho
emaciation results.
A dose OF Pcruna before each menl
hastens the stomach digestion. by
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation OF tho contents OF tho
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in IT'S normal state. 1t Their
only remains for the patient to eat .
sufficient mount Of fat-formicR foods,
and the thinncss disappears and plump
ness takes It's place.
