It's Stomach Cnt017H

Some people Are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamsntat res-
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 dersngement.
Thin people lack in sdipose tissue.
Adipose tissue IL chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat Is derived from the oily constat-
uents Of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, Hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods ere 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, IL not
wholly, the work Of the pancreatio
Juice. This juice Is OF alkaline reao-
ton, and Is rendered inert by the addt-
ton Of acid. A hyperscidity OF tho
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 emulsifed, and the system In
deprived Of its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is q ca
tarrhal condition Of the stomach which
causes h~yperacidity 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, II the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, asid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates q
~hyperacidity Of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
oreatic 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 thu
stomach, and the pancrestic juice is thus
preserved In its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to est I
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

gravel on one side. So the crooks
paste two together, with silk
threads between. But both sides
of the double bill are the same.

Joe Cordova, in battle on a

ed in Salt Lake for the murder of
Officer c. S. Ford. He was be-

and walked into the midst of the
officers before he knew what he
was doing. He drew his revolvers
and fired once without hitting any
body. In the next instant the of
ficers had shot him several times.
Garcia once escaped from the

wife and driving away, the guards
being afraid to fire for fear of hit
ting the woc,an.

TEACH FARMING
IN SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON. D. c., May T.
After while there may be new
avenue Of employment for the farm
er. When the frost is on the pump
kin and the corn is all in, he may
be found down at the little red
school house with the youngsters
of his neighborhood lined up be-
fore him doing stunts like this:
willie Green, what is potato
blight and how can it be pre-
vented?"
Charlie Brown, what is oats
smut, and what is the remedy?"
For Uncle Sam has an idea that
agriculture should be taught in the
public schools. The national gov
eminent has no authority to COM
pei public schools to adopt agricul-
ture as part of the study course,
but 1t is doing it's best to encourage
the states to follow the suggestion.
AS a substantial encouragement
$4,000 has been appropriated for
each state which will take up the
plan, the fund to be used for the
special preparation of agricultural
teachers for the public schools.
The general plan contemplates
an additional room or annex to pub
lie schools, where experiments may
be made and practical farming
demonstrated. 1t is argued that
even If a pupil becomes business
or professional man, never return
ing to the farm, a practical knowl'
edge of farming will be valuable
asset to him.

SAM HAS
INCREASING
THIRST
NATIONAL DRINK BILL SHOWS
STARTLING GROWTH IN
SPITE OF RENEWED TEN.
PERANCE AGITATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May T.
Thirsty, thirsty Uncle Sam!
In 1907 he drank 283, 716,857 more
gallons of beer than in 1905, a.
679,131 more gallons of wine, and
19,214,7S7 more gallons OF whisky!
Can you comprehend these
figures? Practically the same pro-
portionate increase in the national
thirst has been going on since
1880.
In 1907 the consumption per capt.
ia of wines and liquors was %: SO
gallons. In 1905 it was 20.3S gal
Ions per capita.
In other words, the united citizen
of the united States consumed
3:15 more gallons of wines and
liquors in 1907 than in 1905. And
this in spite of the remarkable cam.
paign of the prohibitionists.
The figures that tell the story OF
Uncle Sans remarkable booze
record are contained in a statisti
cal report just issued by the de-
partment Of commerce and labor
The report shows that the aver
age consumption of Intoxicating Ii
quors has doubled since 1882. The
thirst of the American people has
come very close to increasing ar
average of one gallon percapita {
year.
In 1870 the consumption of wines
and liquors per capita was only ~
gallons. In 1880 the average per
son was drinking 1908 gallons; il
1890, 1883 gallons; in 1900, 17.6s
gallons.
The total consumption of wines
and liquors in 1907 was 2,O19,690,
Oil gallons, against 1.874.321, 1888 IL
1906, an increase of $3.50, 523
The increase Of 1905's consumption
was 325,61O,775.
OF the total consumption 57,73S
s4S gallons were malt liquors AM
140.0S4,436 gallons were distilled
spirits.
In 1907 the average persol
drank ST gallons of wine. 21.23 ga
Ions Of beer and 1853 gallons O
whisky.
There are many causes for the in
creased consumption of liquor
Brewers and manufacturers spen
larger fortunes for advertisin
every year. Since 1880 an averag
of 100000 foreigners, large pc
cent of whom were heavy liquo
consumers, came into the countr
each year. The number of amuse
ment parks adjacent to larg
cities, at which liquors are dis
\ pensed, has doubled in five years.
