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 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-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if 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-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is n 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, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna proven IS
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is TINS
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat q
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

PLATFORM AT A GLANCE.

Roosevelt
The abuse of wealth. the tyranny
OF power, and the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to
scorn by him. We pledge a con-
tinuanoe of the Roosevelt policies.
Anti-lnjunction-
The Republican party will uphold
the authority of the courts. but be-
neves the rules of procedure in
federal courts with respect to in
functions should be more accurate
ly defined by statute, and that no
Injunction should be issued without
notice.
Labor
The same wise policy will be pur-
sued to tighten tho burdens of all
who toll.
Tariff
The Republican party declares
for revision of tariff by a special
session OF congress. We favor the
J establishment OF maximum and
minimum rates.
Money
An expanding commerce
and increasing crop movements
disclose the need of a more elias
tic and adaptable system.
Trusts
The government should have
greater supervision over corpora
tions engaged in interstate COM
merce.
J Inland Waterway
We call for a large and compre-
hensive plan to improve the water
ways. harbors. and great lakes.
} Army and Navy
While the American people DO
not desire and will not provoke a
war with any other country, we
nevertheless declare our devotion
to policy which will keep this
republic ready at all times to de-
fend her traditional doctrines.
Good Roads
We approve tho efforts Of the az.
rlcultural department in good road
construction.
Negroes
We condemn all devices for the
disfranchiscment OF the negro.
Republican Policy
The difference between pemoc,.
racy and Republicanism IL that
J one stands for vaciilation and IT,
midity In government, the other
for strength and purpose. Democ-
racy would have the nation own
the people. while Rspublioanism
would have the people own the na-

Amid this pandemonium. and with
the galleries in full control. Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such call, under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion, has probably never before oc-
CURED in the history of national con-
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor
Seizing a megaphone he shouted the
roll OF states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uprcar. Gradually, however, the
curiosity OF the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into
silence to hear the result of the roll
call.
hush Of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511. or 20 more than enough to nom-
mate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, votes:
for Joseph B. Foraker OF Ohio 16
votes: for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
OF Illinois. 81 votes; for Robert La Fol
lette OF Wisconsin. 25 votes; for
Charles E. Hughes of New York. 63
votes; for Philander C. Knox OF Penn
sylvania. 6s votes. and William II. Taft
of Ohio. 702 votes.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and with
one accord the cohorts OF Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other
heroes, joined in common tribute for
the candidate of the party.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice.presi.
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James s.
Sherman Of New York as the running
mate OF the secretary of war.
Three names were placed In nomi.
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher.
man was named as New York's choice
by Tim Woodruff. former lieutenant
governor OF the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild Of Massachusetts was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Elk.
Gov. Franklin Murphy OF New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter.
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun II was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu.
lar choice OF the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to Insure
his nomination Senator Crane of
Massachusetts, moved that It be made
unanimous and 1t was carried with
shout Of approval.
The usual motions Of acknowledg.
ment TO the officers OF the con vention
and to the city In which It was held
were then passed.
