he mistook for a burglar at Schlenck-
cr's home.
The coroner's jury released Schlenk-
er on the ground of accidental shoot
ing.
Reinach was the commercial agent
of the Frisco at Fort Smith Schlenck-
er is secretary and treasurer of the
Apple Hat Company.
Re1nach was killed on the porch OF
Schlencker's home, where he had been
spending the evening According to
the story of the affair told by Mr.. and
Mrs. Schlencker, Reinach had spent

Little Rock Woman Loses.

In the Jefferson County Circuit
Court at Pine Bluff Wednesday, Coun-
ty Judge James Gould disallowed
claim of Mrs. Julia Simon of Little
for $4,000 against the estate of the
late Wiley Joses, one of the wealthiest
negroes in the South, who died at his
home in that city a few years ago.
In disallowing the claim Judge Gould
held that while the paper upon which
suit was brought was executed during
the lifetime of Wiley Jones, and had
his signature attached thereto, it speci-
fed that the amount claimed to be due
should not be paid until after his
death, and not until all the debts
against his estate were disposed of.
Judge Gould further held that the
claim is not a provable claim against
the estate of Wiley Jones. An appeal
was granted to the Circuit Court.

It's Stomach C0ttyavh

1T S NtO513UCN (UtI7YZl
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 fieshy
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
SA1SSSOlNG AulOS VI bue SGOmaCn 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 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 prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is 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 and plump
ness takes its place.
