lace, an engineer on the Southern Rail-
way. was found this morning In a room
in the Waddell House, a boarding place
on First Avenue. An empty bottle la
belled carbolic acted. one marked laud-
anum and an empty morphine box were
found near him. There were found
notes addressed to his wife and chill
dren. One was dated Selma, July, 1904.
and read as follows: My Darling Ma

for my death. ! was the only one to
blame. My accident policy Is in my
trunk here in Selma. Yours loving
until death. Walter" Another note
said Please have my body carried to

is where my wife is. Yous in trouble.

is inferred that Wallace intended taxi
ing his life in Selma. 1t is believed
that Wallace was respondent be-
cause he was out of a job. The coro-
ner rendered the verdict suicide.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
 hold Against Catarrhal Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is our changeable climate. To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible.
 Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from frequency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow.
 Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of thousand other little mis- haps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold.
 There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the fam fly Peruna always stays. No home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

He has always suffered from catarrh of the head and throat, and 1 had to use extra precautions SO as not to have him exposed to damp or cold weather. Last year he was taken with Ia grippe, and as it was a severe case, caused me much anxiety. No medicine helped him till he took Peruna. noticed an improvement at once, and in three weeks he was different child; the grippe had been completely cured, and mo- ticed that the catarrh was made better. He kept taking it two weeks longer, when he was entirely well. now use it off and on for colds, cramps, indigestion or gen. eraI indisposition, and find it su- perior to any doctors or medicine ever tried. 1t keeps me, as well as my child, in perfect health, and 1 gladly recommend it to mothers" Mrs. A.
