WHY RENGO REDUCES FAT
Anti-Fsts and Starvation Diet Result
 in Wrecking of the System.

Fat a general rule comes from the failure of the digestive organs to do their work properly. It may come also from over-eating. In these cases there is always some part of the food eaten which is not eliminated as it should be, but is made up in the form of fat and sent by the blood to various parts Of the body. This accumulation continues constantly until within a comparatively short time, the heart becomes incased in layer or coating of fat. The heart seems to be one of the first vital or gans to become affected in this manner.
 The food, therefore, in cases of fat, is not properly assimilia iated-that is, part of the food is retained by the body which should not be retained, and part which should be retained Is thrown out This does not always mean dys- pepsia indigestion for one may have a very healthy stomach and yet begin to grow fat, through no apparent cause.
 It Is evident to any one, then, that to try to starve away the fat is both ridic ulous and dangerous. It may or may not have the desired effect, but what is almost certain is that starvation diet will give a shock to the whole system and wreck it.. The victim then becomes a subject for the sanitarium or becomes an invalid. The same thing happens, by trying to use anti-fats, remedies that positively stop digestion something which is absurd and which sooner or later results in break down of some organ ana consequent u1SedSe. BrlSnI s Disease, Nephritis, Gastritis and Neu- ritis may quickly follow such treat ments.
 Tropical fruit is and have been known for years as a remarkable regulator of the system. By a persistent use of such B mixture, the body will assume an ab solutely normal condition, being neith CT too thin nor too large, and preserving the balance of all the organs. making the fortunate man or woman who uses it healthy and happy.
 This is what Rengo does. It contains a tropical fruit mixture which has this faculty of perfectly assimilating food taken into the body. That Is the secret. It has resulted in making Rengo a mar vel as fat-reducer and a health build er and Godsend to all fat people.
 Rengo is safe. It not only reduces Your weight to normal but it increases your health.

Auto Fatalities
Largely Fault OF
Reckless Driving

According to a count kept by the Chi
cago Tribue ], sos persons were killed or
seriously injured by automobile driving
in 1867
Fatalities increased more than 90 per
cent, 32f persons having been killed
outright. as compared with 200 in 1906.
The increase in the number Of injured
was almost equally appalling. Where
SOL were severely hurt in 1906, last year 5
total was 1874 this count only includ-
ing those cases reported in the news
papers.
That these figures are far from being
complete is indicated by statistics COM
piled in Massachusetts. showing that
ia three months ended September Z
there were Al deaths caused By automO-
biIes in that State alone.
New York's record of accidents IS
equal 10 that of Chicago, Philadelphia,

land. with a total population of more
than 100000 combined Forty-eighL
persons We're killed in that city IN the
course of the year and rs others were
injured. Thus far this year the record
of death and destruction is being fully
maintained. In the first twenty days
of January automobile accidents in

iured more, and hurt nineteen other
persons
No Danger When Carefully Driven.
When it is remembered that automo-

Perhaps no one con consistently
