VOL cannot afford 10 take any
4 wv unnecessary risk with
your savings. There are many OPP
portunities to invest in variousspec
ulative schemes. The mails are
flooded with circulars and prospec-
fuses, and the temptation to invest
is sometimes very great. ALI s,rts

less great care is exercised It is very
easy to make mistake. It might
be a good rule for you to always
consult your banker when in doubt
as to the soundness Of an invest

sources Of information that will

his money into every scheme pre-

CONVENTION NOTES.

Secretary of War William H. Taft
was nominated for the presidency on
the first ballot in the Republican con-
vention at Chicago, receiving 7O2
votes. Then, amid scenes of wild en-
thusiasm, he was made the unanimous
choice of the convention. The major
fly report of the platform committee
was adopted after a debate. For sec
ond place on the ticket Sherman OF
New York moved prominently to the
fore.
Representative James S. Sherman
was nominated for vice-president on
the first ballot by the Republican ma
tional convention. The convention
then adjourned and a subcommittee
of the national committee went to Gin
cinnati to consult Mr.. Taft as to his
choice for national chairman.
For As minutes the delegates and
spectators in the Republican national
convention wildly cheered for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The vast throng in
the Coliseum was crazy with enthusl-
asm and some people feared that the
threatened Roosevelt stampede was
about to take place. The demonstra-
ton was started by Senator Lodges
speech as permanent chairman. The
credentials committee reported, seat
ing all the Taft delegates, and the con
vention voted down the proposition to
reduce the representation of southern
states in future conventions.
At an all night session of the Gre
dentials committee of the Republican
national convention 40 contests
brought by the "allies" were consid-
cred, the decisions being in favor OF
the Taft adherents. A subcommittee
OF the resolutions committee labored
over the platform, modifying many OF
the planks. Gov. Cummins of Iowa
became the leading candidate for the
vice-presidential nomination, with
Fairbanks a close second.

It's Stomach CNtlz7vA

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 f1eshy
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 emulsif1ed, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is 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 q
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 prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juiceis thus
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 andplump-
ness takes its place.
