To offset this shortage from some waters
receipts from Jersey coast fisheries. aug
mented by supplies from nets near Vir-
ginia Beach. are ample.
The demand is rather light at this time.
Prices in consequence are low.
Early in the coming month winter fish

lower part of the river. Schools of fish
will be hunted for.
A decided increase in the supply can
be looked for in the market here after
The winter fishing will continue until
almost time for the shad and herring

YOU'RETOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal DeranermenS
Of tie Stomach Produce dcid Fer
Men.atlon Of tie Food.
It's Stomach Cutu,7A

Some people arc 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, II not
wholly, the work OF the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is Of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the add.
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 proper ton 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-
sch, II 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 t2rn prevent the pan
create 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 the
only remains for the patient to eat .
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.
