WASHINGTON , May 14. The case or the
JtoMlo & Ohio railroad and the Farm em
Loan and Trust company againat Die state
of Tennessee and several counties thereof
was dcI Jed by the supreme court today.
Justice Jackson delivered the opinion. The
question Involved the right of the legisla
ture to amend tlio charter of the company ,
which exempted the capital stock forever
from taxation , exempted the road and fix
tures for twcr.ty-flve years , and provided
that there should be no taxation which
wjuld re-luce the dividends below 8 per cent.
On the other hand the state constitution pro
vides that all property shall be taxed ac
cording to Its value and taxation be equal
throughout the state. In February , 1591 ,
Kill a were brought against the company for
the collection of taxation from 18SI to 1SS9 ,
inclusive.
The opinion held that the case hinges on
the S per cent clause of the charter referred
to. The manifest Intention was to Interest
persons in the railroad by gi"lng It unutwal
advantages. Justice Jackson held that the
state had the power to levy discriminating
and exemption taxation when It granted
chart rs. Corporate charters were merely
contracts between the state and the corpora
tion. Therefore the supreme court of Ten-
nesieo was overruled , the decision being In
favor of the railroad corporation. Chief
Jus' Ice Fuller dissented from this opinion ,
opposing the doctrine of a right to discrim
inate In favor ot Individual corporations In
the matter of taxation In granting charters.
With the chief justice In his dissenting
opinion , which stood by the supreme court of
Tennessee , were Justices Gray , Drewcr and
Shlras , so that the lower court was reversed
by a bare majority. Taxes aggregating
about $330,000 arc involved In the decision.
WAUASH MUST PAY THE TAX.
The case of Ashley against Ryan , secretary
of the state of Ohio , was decided In an opin
ion delivered by Justice White. It Involved
a question of taxation of great Importance.
Under the law of Ohio the stock if corpora
tions Is taxed one-tenth of 1 per cent. Sev
eral branches of the Wabash railroad In sev
eral states which have been Involved In liti
gation had been consolidated. The officers
fllod articles of consolidated Incorporation In
the office of the secretary of state , tendering
$700 , which would have been the tax on the
Ohio branches of the corporation , but the
secretary compelled the payment of $52,000 ,
A tax on all branches of the consolidated
corporation. This the company contended
was a state tax on corporations outside ot
the state. The court held that the right of
a company to be a consolidated corporation
rested within the will of the state ; that the
railroad In preferring the articles of Incor
poration and tax was voluntarily placing it
self within the jurisdiction of the law , and
sustained the state court's decision.
DAKOTA ELEVATOR LAW SUSTAINED.
The law of North Dakota declaring that
owners of grain elevators kept public ware
houses and Imposing rates of charges and
penalties for overcharges was passed upon
by the court. The plaintiff had offered grain ,
offering to pay the rate fixed by the state ,
and , bolng refused , obtained a mandamus
compelling Brass , the elevator owner and
plaintiff In error , to receive his grain at
state rates. Justice Shlras delivered the
opinion , sustaining the North Dakota
courts. Justice Brewer dissented , contend
ing that the evidence showed that only In
light grain years did Brass receive grain
from others , and that this did not make
him a public -warehouse keeper. During the
year In question Brass needed all the capac
ity of his elevator for his private purposes ,
EO that the state was attempting to force
him to do a public business. Justice Brewer
dissented also because the law compelled ele
vator keepers to insure the grain taken In
charge by them. Justices Field , Miller and
Jackson concurred In the dissenting opinion.
In the case of the Chicago Deposit Vault
company against John McNulta , a receiver
of the Wabash Railroad company , the court
holds that Receiver Cooley has no author
ity without the approval of the court to
bind the funds of receivership beyond
the time the leased premises In dispute
should bo required by the receiver.
Governor Tlllman's appeal from the rul
ing of Commissioner of Patents Seymour
in refusing to register the Palmetto as a
trade mark for state dispensary liquors was
dismissed. Justice Gray delivered the
opinion , which held the supreme court had
no Jurisdiction over the case. Since the
dispensary law has been declared un
constitutional by the state courts , this
branch of It Is not ot so much Importance.
The case of the Postal Telegraph company
against the city of Charleston , S. C. , was
decided In favor of the city in an opinion
by Justice Brewer. Under a local law levyIng -
Ing license upon business concerns the tele
graph company was compelled to pay a
tax of $50 upon Its business done exclusively
In the city. Justice Harlan dissented on
the ground that the telegraph company did
no business exclusively In the city of
Charleston. Incidentally ho remarked that
this was one ot the many municipal devices
to reap revenue from Interstate commerce.
Justices Brown and Jackson concurred in
the dissent.
Chief Justice Fuller announced today the
supreme court will sit once more , on May
2C , before the final adjournment for the
spring. The appeal of the Arkansas Chcro-
fcoe , Starr , convicted of the murder ot
Ifei- Deputy Marshal Floyd Wilson , was suc
cessful , a new trial being granted. Inci
dentally Chief Justice Fuller commented
severely on the charge , of the presiding
Judge to the jury.
COLLECTOR SnEDERGER WINS ONE.
Justice Shlras delivered the opinion re
versing the decision ot the circuit court tor
the northern district of Illinois In the case
of Anthony F. Secberger , collector of cus
toms at Chicago , plaintiff in error against
John Schweyer. Schweycr sought to recover
duties paid under protest In 1SSS on goods
imported in 1SSG and placed In a bonded
warehouse. The plaintiff offered to pay
duties within a year after their arrival In
Chicago , but over a year after their arrival
In New York , the law providing for an addi
tional assessment of 10 per cent where the
articles are not withdrawn for consumption
within a year after their Importation. The
lower court held that the data , of Importa
tion was the date of arrival In Cb'cigo. The
supreme court holds the date ot Importation
to be the date of arrival In New York , and
remands the cose , with directions to enter
Judgment for the collector. *
" The court atllrmed the judgment of the
circuit court for the eastern district of Mich
igan In the case of Henry M. Loud , plaintiff
in error , against the Pomona Land & Water
company. There was an agreement by Loud
to purchase certain lands In California and
shares of stock In an Irrigation company.
the exclusive rights for laying pipes and
aqueducts for convenience of water on the
land being reserved to the Irrigation com
pany. Loud claimed fraud In that it was
represented to him the shares In the Irriga
tion company gave him the right to water
for his land , and that thcs ? representations
proved false , in that sufficient water to irri
gate the lands was not represented by the
shares ot stock , The circuit court decided
against Loud and Justice Jackson , in deliv
ering the opinion of the supreme court ,
affirmed that decision on the ground that the
allegations ot want of title to the stock in
the irrigation company representing water
rights were not supported by proof. It is
also held the by-laws of the Irrigation com
panies did not provide that wattr rights
should go with shares In the Irrigation com
pany and that Loud's Ignorance ot the by *
laws did not supply grounds of his complaint
of the lack of water right.

IfuBftO Committee I'IIVOM I'tltllnc ( * o crnl of
Them Into .Morton' * llamU.
WASHINGTON , May 14. For a number of
years pail efforts have been made by con
gressional legislation to secure the tranifcr
of the geodetic survey , and the object sought
to be accomplished by this transfer Is to
acremble and co-ordinate , under a single
administrative head , all the bureaus of the
government which have to do with the util
ization ot the weclth of the forests , fields ,
mines and waters. In the Fifty-first and
Fifty-second congresses bills providing for
the transfer of these bureaus to the Depart
ment of Agriculture were favorably reported
by senate committees , and now the house
committee on agriculture has reported a bill
having the same object In view. Repre
sentative Halncr ot Nebraska has submitted
a long report giving the views of the com
mittee on the changes proposed. Regard
ing the geological survey the report says
geology deals direct with the soil and its
formations. The study of the earth'i struc
ture and soil is recognized as having Im
portant bearings on the character and qual
ity of a successful agriculturist , and the In
vestigations of the geologist , If properly di
rected , must continue to bo not only Inti
mately connected with , but essential to a
due development ot the science ot hus
bandry.
Connected with and supervised by the
Department of Agriculture , the geological
survey , with its present efficient corps of
experts , would be , by Its contribution to the
fund of know ledge on soil formation , on
the discovery of waters beneath and the
conservation of waters above the surface of
the earth , form a most effective agent In
stimulating and securing the development
of an Intensive agriculture of which the
'
country stands to greatly In need.
Concerning the fish commission , the state
ment Is made that it Is an independent
bureau reporting directly to congress and
having at present no department connec
tion. Its government work and usefulness
are acknowledged. It has a widening field
of usefulness. Its work is so developed
that Its economic and administrative fea
tures form the burden ot its duties and the
objects of Its largest expenditures. The
time is rapidly coming when every farmzr
will certainly expect to raise the fish con
sumed In his family and to supply his
neighbors engaged In other pursuits , as he
now does with poultry and meat products.
Continuing , the report says that the fish
commission has found Itself running parallel
with the work , methods and agencies of the
Department of Agriculture In Its Investiga
tions of the many problems relating to soils
and plant and animal life.
"It is only by bringing Into ono depart
ment all scientific bureaus that this dupli
cation can be prevented and each afford to
the others the highest measure of support
and assistance. It Is not proposed to dis
turb the autonomy or Independent organiza
tion ot these scientific bureaus , nor to In
troduce here the much dreaded system of
partisan removals. The suggestion of such
danger Is sufficiently answered In the well
known fact that in the entire history of the
several scientific bureaus now connected
with the departments not a single instancs
is recalled where partisanship has dictated
an appointment or removal. "
The measure has the approval and ac
quiescence of all the departments affected.
PEXXY WISE IICONOMY.
Cutting OfT Appropriation * for rood for
the luitluns May Cause Trouble.
WASHINGTON. May 14. The tendency
toward economy in appropriations has been
so great that grave fear is expressed by
those who are familiar with the Indians and
the Indian service the result may be trouble
from some of the tribes , as well as a crip
pling of the sen-Ice , unless the Indian ap
propriation bill Is amended before It passes.
Representative Wilson of Washington has
been Investigating the subject , and ho Is
prepared to show the house that the cuts on
the Indian service go to the bone. The cut
on the Apache Indians , from $125,000 to
$ DO,000 , will necessitate n reduction next
year of 1,000,000 pounds of beef and 30,000
pounds of flour. It is his opinion , based on
the authority of those who have every fa-
clllty for knowing , that the cut on food is
likely to lead to trouble with the Apaches.
It will also show that the Indian police ser
vice will be made Inefficient by the proposed
cut.
cut.The
The cut of $273,000 on Indian schools will
bo opposed as an embarrassment to the ed
ucational part of the service at a time when
Increased attendance Is showing the good
effects of the policy of educating the Indians.
; The contract schools cost about $300,000 , and
If the cut stands very few of the contract
schools can be continued In operation. It is
said also that the cutting in two of the
amount for transporting pupils will not
leave enough to get the pupils to the various
schools , leaving out of consideration the re
turning of pupils from the schools to their
homes. It appears also that the support ot
Indian pupils at Industrial , agricultural , me
chanical and other schools In the various
states , has been abandoned by the bill. An
{ estimate of $75,000 for this purpose was
made , but It was dropped from the bill.
There are many other specific items which
will bo pointed out as likely to cripple the
service and cause mutterlngs and possible
uprisings among the Indians.
Tapping the Soul Company's Profits.
WASHINGTON , May 14. Attorney General -
oral Olney has rendered an opinion In which
ho holds the settlement made by Secretaries
Wlndom and Foster with the North Amer
ican Commercial company , by which the gov
ernment for the years 1890 , JS91 and 1S92 re
ceived a less rental , both as to the bonus and
the rental per skin , than was originally
agreed upon , was Illegal and therefore Is not
binding upon the present secretary. This re
duced rental and tax was accepted because
the company had not .been permitted to take
the full number of skins ordinarily specified
In the lease as a limit In view of this de
cision the secretary has made a formal de
mand upon the company for the full amount
of rent and per tkln tax for the year 1893
and has referred It to the attorney general
for such action as he may deem advisable in
the matter of collecting from the company
the full amount due for the previous years.
The whole amount claimed to be due the
government is about $320,000 , of which
$132,000 is on account of the 1893 catch.
Curious I'rrhltftorlc Instruments.
WASHINGTON. May 14. The National
museum has secured an extensive series of
minute chipped stone Implements from India ,
which were collected in the caves and rock
shelters among the northern and north
western hills and In grave mounds. So far
no one has been able to determine the pur-
P&so of these small Instruments and no sat
isfactory theory has been put forward to
account for their existence. They areof
numerous forms and much work has evi
dently been spent in making them. The
subject has been brought to the attention of
the scientific world by an Illustrated paper
prepared by Curator WlUon of the Depart
ment ot Prehistoric Anthropology for Inclu
sion In the annual report ot the national
museum.
Ilnnu't Kdacatlon Enough to Hurt Him.
WASHINGTON. May 14. Supervisor of
Indian School * Moss has sent to the bureau
of Indian affairs n denial of the statement
that "Apache Kid , " the noted outlaw , was
an educated Indian , which has been used
as rn argument against educating the red
men. While at San Carlos Supervisor Moss
Inquired about this , and learned that the
outlaw never was In school a day. Ho was
a government scout and In that position
learned to speak some English.

PUTTING ON THE PATCHES
Democratic Cobblers Mending Political Holes
in the Tariff Bill ,
SUGAR TALK ROILS THE DEMOCRATS
Senator * Platt nnd AilUonTaunt Tlipm tilth

Ing the Sugar .Schedule Tno
Tension Hills 1'utncd.
WASHINGTON , May 14. The seventh
week ot the tariff debate In the senate be
gan at 11 o'clock today with a fair attend
ance on the flo.or. Vlco President Steven
son , who was In New York Saturday , called
the senate to order.
Two bills , one to pension the widow of
Hear Admiral Donald MacNell Falrtlax at
the rate of $100 , and the other to increase
the pension of the widow of
Major General Doubleday to $100
were reported and placed on the cal
endar. Under the agreement made last
week an hour was devoted to the considera
tion of bills on the calendar.
Mr. Aldrlch moved to substitute five-
tenths for four-tenths. The Aldrli'li amend
ment was tabled.
Mr. Platt of Connecticut said that d < spite
the fact that for years this chamber had
rung with a democratic denunciation of
the Sugar trust , the democrats , save an oc
casional exception , had agreed In caucus ,
so he understood , to vote for n prohibitive
duty on refined sugar. Surely democratic
tariff reformers must be hard driven when
they were forced to swallow the words and
opinions of years.
Mr. Plait's observation on the Sugar
trust ruffled some of the democrats and
he was soon engaged In a controversy.
"Tho duty proposed In this bill. " said Mr.
Harris. Interrupting the Connecticut sena
tor. "Is a reduction on refined sugar In the
McKlnley bill from Vi to H of a cent per
pound. "
"This bill makes no such reduction , "
retorted Mr. Platt , decisively.
"Then all the sugar exporters in this
country arc wide of the mark , " said Mr.
Harris.
SUGAR TRUST UNDERSTANDS IT.
"Oh ! " said Mr. JMatt , "there Is not n
speculator , a stock Jobber or a man in the
Sugar trust In New York or a senator on
this floor who demanded this sugar schedule
who does not understand what It means
for the trust. This schedule gives the trust
a duty of at least % of a cent , sometimes
fluctuating ns high as % "of a cent. "
Mr. Allison said the ad valorem provision
In the bill , in view of the great difference
between the value of raw and refined sugar ,
certainly would afford a protection of 3-JO of a
cent before the differential of % of a cent
was reached.
Mr. Vest called attention to the fact that
the McKlnley law gave the raw material
free to refiners and then gave the latter a
protective duty of % a cent per pound.
Mr. Allison Insisted , however , that the
great difference in the price of raw and re
fined sugar gave the refiner the benefit of
at least 3-10 of a cent under a 40 per cent ad
valorem duty before the % was Imposed at
ntt. The discussion of the sugar schedule
was adroitly diverted by Senator Vest into
a debate about American wages.
Finally Mr. Galllnger of New Hampshire
got the floor and proceeded to read for the
benefit of his political adversaries the editor
ial opinions of some of the great democratic
dallies denouncing the surrender of demo
cratic principle made in the Jones amend
ments.
AMENDMENTS WHILE YOU WAIT.
At the conclusion of Mr. Galllnger's re
marks the Jones amendment , fixing the
duty on alum at 4-10 of a cent was agreed to
without division , as was the next Jones
amendment fixing the duty on carbonate of
ammonia at 20 per cent , muriate of sal-
ammoniac at 10 per cent and sulphate of
ammonia at 20 per cent. The next finance
committee amendment , fixing the duty on
bone char suitable for decolorizing sugar at
20 per cent , was also agreed to. Mr. Jones
offered an amendment to place a duty of 1
cent per pound on crude borax and changing
the duty on refined borax from 20 per cent
to 2 cents. The amendment was apreed to.
Mr. Jones offered on amendment to transfer
refined camphor from the free list to the
dutiable list at 10 per cent ad valorem.
This was also agreed to.
It was then ten minutes of C and Mr. Al
lison suggested an executive session , while
Mr. Jones suggested the senate sit an hour
longer tonight.
Mr. Harris , who had charge of the bill ,
rose end with cutting sarcasm rejected both
suggestions. "In view of the fact , " said he ,
with the triphammer deliberation so char
acteristic of him , "that the senate has only
consumed one hour In the discussion of this
article , on which the eyes of the republicans
are fixed with such Intense interest , the
article of chalk , I think the United States
senate should toke a rest , and I move the
senate adjourn. "
Accordingly , at 5:55 : , the senate adjourned.
CKANK JJ1STUUBS THE HOUSE.
Representative Compton of Maryland Ro-
Mgn to Accept a Softer Hnnp.
WASHINGTON , May 14. The speaker
laid before the house today the resignation
of Hon. Barnes Compton of the Fifth Mary
land district , to take effect tomorrow. Mr.
Compton leaves congress to acept the office
of the naval officer of the port of Baltimore.
The house bill authorizing the Braddock &
Homestead Bridge company to bridge the
Monongahela river at Homestead , Pa. , was
passed.
District of Columbia business was then
taken up , but the even tenor of the pro
ceedings were interrupted by a burly negro
In the center of the gallery arising In his
place and shouting : "Mr. Speaker of the
House of Representatives. " Instantly the
house was In confusion and all eyes were
turned upon the now orator In the gallery.
The speaker , who was the first to regain
his composure directed the doorkeeper to
remove the man. He was of powerful
physique , however , and the doorkeeper was
unable to oust him for some time , the negro
endeavoring to deliver his alleged divinely
Inspired messageto the effect that the Lord I
had command , d him to como to the speaker
of the house and order him to pas the t
Coxey bill. Other portions of his message I
referred to the capltol , the white house and
the treasury , but the exact purport was not
learned In the confusion. The interloper I
was finally ejected , and when the confusion
which he had created had subsided business
was resumed.
At 4:53 : the house adjourned.

"The Three Guardsmen" was the opening
bill last evening at Boyd's , with Alexander
Salvlnl In the role of D'Artagnan , a young
Gascon who risks his life for the honor of
his queen.
What boy Is there who has not read
Dumas' famous storj * of the lives nnd ad
ventures of the men who made up Lou'ls
Kill's body guard when Cardinal Riche
lieu ruled France with an Iron hand , and
for that matter what girl is there who has
not been touched with deep aftection over
the love IJ'Artngnan shows , through his
boisterous exterior , for all those In dis
tress , particularly women who needed his
good strong arm in their defense.
"Bobby , " as D'Artagnan loved to call his
sword , was closer and truer than any
friend could be. for it sprang to do his
bidding without cavil and usually found
an unprotected spot somewhere in the per
son of hla adversary. Filled to the brim
with romanticism and drawn with all the
wonderful art of this prince of novelists
and story tellers , brimming over with life
nnd action , "The Three Guardsmen" stands
today the best exponent of the romantic
drama ever written. Although far re
moved from the atmosphere of the pres
ent century , the scenes are laid In very
troublous dnys , when Fr'ance was ruled by a
\veukllnR In the person of Louis XIII ,
Cardinal Kichclleu being the head and
front of the government in those times of
storm and stress. And there could be r. < 5
romantic character in the grand diapason
of the stage that so completely fits the
personnel of the man than D'Artagnan fits
Alexander Salvlnl. ' Tlieie Is no cue who
can compare with him in the roysterinfj
heroes of the romantic school , and his
work last night wad -so thoroughly artlitlc
that there were evidences of the genius
of the father everywhere throuphout the
production , which was marked by an in
telligence , a strength -and the ilna letalls
of stage Investiture. Ywhjch have not been
equalled this season. .The nervous titigy ,
the sudden transitions which he shows ,
his lithe sinuosity , arc peculiar to the
I Latin race , which he Is destined to brins
I into additional prominence by his remarkable -
[ able versatility. forArexander Salvlnl is
1 destined to a Krentnesfi In a series of roles ,
) whereas his father- will only be remem-
I bered in one. , .
| Supporting Mr.Salvlnl are a number of
people whose names are familiar wherever -
. ever the drama is Jrtiovy'n , and a stronger
company has not played In Omaha this
1 season. Next to. Salvlnl the honors of the
evening belonged to William Redmund , who
I Is an actor , every inch of him. A member
I of the old school , now the "old guard , "
I Mr. Uedrnund has not been seen to ho
excellent advantage in years an in the role
I of Athos. the melancholy knight of France.
I His quietness , hla reserved strength , yet
j withal his deep seated enthusiasm , were In
strong contrast to the Impetuosity and the
devil-may-care disposition of D'Artagnan ,
jvho would rather draw sword In some
lorn one's defense than drink his favorite
' tipple. Ben Johnson as the cardinal gave
n very dignified performance , having
greatly advanced in his art since seen
. here last. William Harris , reminiscent
of Sir Toby in his doublet and hose , gave
i a strong- picture of Porthos , reading with
fine intelligence. Mr. John A. Lane , it is
unpleasant to relate , was entlrelv out of
his line as the lover duke of Buckingham.
I It is a thousand pities that this sterling
Shakespearean actor could not have a.
part more Jn keeping with his style ,
which is not by any means a lover , but
rather that of a statesman. He would
play the cardinal well.
Miss Eleanor Morettl was highly suc
cessful as Anne of Austria , showing
thorough artistic work in several scenes.
Miss Dlxon as Constance was very tender
and womanly , while Mrs. Augusta De
Forrest gave strength to the hard part of
! Lady De Winter. The plgy was magnifi
cently staged , and the performance was
a genuine treat to those In the house.

I is wanted upon a large number of charges ,

How Food Is Artificially Digested Before
Being Eaten ,
A WONDERFUL PROCKSS.
It If ItotolutlonUInc Moitrrn Living nnd
Crrtuln toiliinen the Condi
tion of thr .Vtitlnm.
But a short tlm ago some eminent scien
tists made a great discovery. They discov
ered that fats and oils didn't fatten thin
people. Everything seems simple after soma'
one else has found It out. If we had thought
we would have remembered that for ages
doctors have forbidden starch foods to people
ple who wanted to get thin. It follows they
ought to recommend starch fooJs to people
who want to get fat. Nobody knows why
they didn't do so. Nobody knows why they
don't all do to now. But they are learning.
More are recommending It every day. They
arc beginning to believe In Paskoln , because
Paskola Is a etarch food.
It has long been known that starch food li
the most natural food for man. Of thft four
chief chemical divisions of human food , viz. :
s'archcs. fats , albumens and salts , starch Is
the most important , fats the least important.
If we had only starch we could do without
fatty food. We would die If we tried lo do
without starch foods.
Many people are dying today because their
digestive organs cannot digest starch food.
They cat plenty of starch , but they can't di
gest It. They keep thin. They keep getting
thlncr. There Is but ono hope for them.
Paskola.
One reason that Paskola will help thorn Is
because It Is pure starch food.
Another reason Is because It Is a predl-
gested food.
Nothing but starch food will ever make
you fat , strong and hearty. Meat or albu
minous fdud merely repairs waste tissues
But even If It were predlgested , it would not
make you fat.
Fat food cannot be predicated , but even
If it could. It would not make you fat.
Paskola is only a pure starch predlgested
food , combined with natural vegetable fer
ments which aid the digestion of other food
Paskola is the only starch food which will
make a confirmed thin port-on fat. Paskoln
creates an appetite for other foods and helps
your stomach to digest them. ! t also tones
up and gives strength to the feeble stomach
The old , old notion about fats and oils and
fatty foods making a person fat is fast fading
away. The most eminent scientist ! , and
medical men have long since coated to be
lieve in It. The rank and flls ot the profes
sion are fast following their example.
Even if fatty food could make p ople strong
and fat , all the good It would do would be
to well people , for It is only well people's
stomaches that can stand It. Well people
don't need food that will make them fat.
They are. generally fat already. If they
weren't fat , they wouldn't be well.
It is just the people who need food that
will make them fat whose &tomaches can'i
stand fatty food. We can't fight nature.
Thin sick people have a very general and de
cided aversion to fats and oils. That ought
to be sufficient proof to us that fat is not
what they need to make them well.
Even the thinnest and sickest people like
Paskola.
They like other starch food. too. They
probably eat a good deal ot Ptarch food.
Nature allows them to do to. They have no
decided aversion to It. This is proof that
starch food is a good food.
The reason that the food thin people eat
does not make them fat Is simply that they
do not digest it. They are sick , and that If
the sickness they suffer from. Most dys
peptics cannot even retain starch food In
their stomachs. It ferments and forms a
noxious gas. They are in the unhappy state
of needing starch food so badly that they
are slowly dying for the want of it , and yet
they cannot digest It. The most delicate
stomach can retain Paskolo.
The great difference between ordinary
good starch food and Paskola is that Paskola
is predlgested. Paskola would make you
fat if you hadn't a stomach. With a stomach
ach , no matter how sick It may be , Paskola
makes you fat all the quicker. Paskola is
superseding Cod Liver Oil , because It is
pleasant to the taste and is far more effect
ive in its operation.
A pamphlet giving full particulars respect
ing Paskola will be sent on application to
the Pro-Digested Food Co. , 30 Reade St. , N.
Y. City.
