Chef, French Specialist, II Diet 10
Properly Regulated.

Paris.-That the stomach is super.
fiuous organ is the startling disclosure
of DR.. Vincent Pauchet, reported in the
Academy of Medicine.
Affirming that he has successfully rs
moved the stomach from woman fifty
years old who had continued to live
happily in perfect health, he reports
that the operation also cured her Of
cancer.
"The stomach's action is purely pre-
linninary," stated Doctor Pauchet.
'The mechanism for the vital part Of
the digestion is in thessmall intestine
with the Intervention of the pancreatie
juice and the bile. Therefore, pro-
viding the patient follows light diet,
the stomach can be dispensed with ad-
yantageously."

production A combination of
American and foreign locale, this
picture offers excellent entertain
ment possibilities.
The sotry opens at Ostend in 1903,
then the gayest seashore resort in
Belgium Little Jeanne Bedamere
meets Elton Reeves, a wealthy New
Yorker. After a whirlwind court
marry. Little Jeanne is consigned
to the care of her nurse. Marie, for
one year, against the mothers

husband insists. Five years pass
before Mr.. Reeves returns for her
little daughter. The old nurse,
