YELLOW FEVER SPREADING
Many New Cases and a Number
of Deaths Reported.
VICTIMS OF THE POORER CLASS
State Board of Health Issues Quar-
antine Against the City of
New Orleans.

The following report of the prog
ress of yellow fever in New Orleans
is, up to p. M, July 2S: New
cases, 21; total cases to date, 237;
deaths since July 12, Al; new cen
ters, s; total centers, S5.
The Official report of progress of
the disease shows that the entire
quarter above Canal street was free
from a single new case and that the
fever was only spreading in the poor
er habitations of the downtoyn quar-
ter.
The health authorities continue to
hold that the plague remains an Ital-
ian infection, all but two of the last
26 cases reported being those of Ital-
ians. Almost without exception the
victims have been of the poorest
classes, many not long residents of
the United States and unacclimated.
For several years the planters of
Louisiana have been replacing ne
groes with Italian labor. Many of
the immigrants have remained in
New Orleans and it was among these
that the fever first appeared and to
that lack of acclimation and the in
adequacy of their treatment has been
largely due the heavy mortality that
has characterized the present vista
ton.
The Louisiana State Board of
Health finally ordered a quarantine
of the State against New Orleans.
That action became necessary to pro-
tect all DOintS in the State from he
ing quarantined against by Alabama,
Texas and Mississippi. Three par.
ishes and one town in another parish
were granted communication with
New Orleans.

WONDERS OF WIRELESS
Naval System Picked Up Messages
1,100 Miles at Sea,

Lieutenant Kaiser, who had charge
Of the wireless apparatus on board the
cruiser Brooklyn on the trip to France
and return, has made a report to Rear
Admiral Massey, chief of the bureau
of equipment, on the tests which
were made to determine at what dis
tance wireless messages may be re-
ceived aboard ship from shore sta
tions.
The lieutenant reported that the
longest distance at which wireless
messages were read during the day
time was $40 sea miles, and at night
LOO sea miles, while a wireless sig
nal was heard at a distance of 1,7S0
sea miles. The messages received
at a distance of LOO miles could
doubtless have been heard at a still
greater distance.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT.
Rapid Growth of Crop, Winter Wheat
Harvest Almost Completed.


The general summary of the week
ly crop report issued is as follows:
Favorable weather has caused rap
id growth of corn and the crop is in
excellent condition. Winter wheat
harvest Is nearly completed in the
principal winter wheat states, and
thrashing, which is well advanced
Rains have delayed thrashing in Vir-
ginia and Maryland, and caused fur
ther damage to grain in shock or
stack in Virginia, Kentucky, Missou
ri, Oklahoma and Texas. Spring
wheat has continued to advance ia
vorably in the spring wheat region,
although black rust is reported from
scattered localities in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, no material damage is
shown and, with favorable weather
conditions, serious injury is not an
ticipated. In the principal oat pro-
ducing States, harvesting is we'll ad-
vanced, while in the more northerly
districts oats. are heading. The
crop generally is in promising condi-
ton. With the exception Of Okla
homa, Kansas and Wisconsin, ad-
verse reports respecting apples are
received from all sections. Haying
has been delayed by rains in Vir-
ginia and portions of the Ohio val
ley, and considerable damage to hay
is reported from Oklahoma, Missouri

Birmingham, Jan. 2S.-(Special. Ed Johnson, a negro, was landed in the county jail here this afternoon on sus- picion of knowing something of the killing of Miss Belle Bloodworth at De- catur last Saturday night. He denies the accusation. The negro was arrest ed last night at Warrior, in the upper portion of Jefferson County, being taken from a train on which he was beating his way. citizen of Hart sell, a station south of Decatur, recog- nized Johnson as a negro who passed through there the day after the kill ing of Miss Bloodworth. warrant has been sworn out against the negro.
 Johnson talks freely. He says that before Christmas he was employed as ash pan cleaner for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and went to Bloss- burg to work in the coal mines. He says that he left Birmingham yester- day on a freight train and was taken from the train at Warrior. The ot- ficers were afraid to take the negro to Decatur for further Identification, and so brought him to the Jefferson County jail.
 There is much doubt as to his being the right negro. though the officers here will hold him until action is taken on the warrant issued. The negro is not worried, calmly awaiting develop mentS.

eagerness to be married depends largely on whether or not they work.

 There is no doubt that the in- creased liberty of a woman's life de- creases her desire for marriage. If 1t is happy 1t is by far the best life for members of the feminine sex and de- velops all that is most womanly. On the other han% a decrease of unhappy marriages is not to be deplored, and it is generally admitted that there Is far greater risk of unhappiness to girl wives than to those who look out on life from wider experience of Noman- hood before they take husband. There is furthermore, nothing more certain than that if a woman wants a man and he wants her she will marry him. however. much shS may have to give up to do so, but her wider ex- perience may help her not to permit her affections to go to an unworthy man.

..'lTHE BEST FRIENDS OF PERU -NA ARE TH
When Sickness Comes to the
 Little Ones.


 She suffers even more than the child who happens to be sick. Her sympathy Is deeper than that of any other member of the family. The mothers look forward with dread to the torrid heat of summer, thinking of their children and the many liabili- ties to disease thatiare before them. Spring and summer are sure to bring ailments. especially among the little folks 1t does not take a mother very long to discover that Peruna is the best friend she has in time of illness among the children. The doctors may come and go with their different theories and constant change of remedies. The doctor of years ago gave entirely different remedies than he does today.
 Each year finds some change in his prescriptions and in the drugs he re- lies upon.
 A Multitude of Mothers. Have discovered that Peruna is the E'stand-by, and that In all the ailments of spring and summer to which the children are subjected. Peruna Is the remedy that will most quickly relieve.
 Whether 1t Is spring fever or stomach derangement, whether 1t is indigestion or bowel disease catarrhal conges- ton of the mucous surfaces Is the cause.
 Peruna quickly relieves this condi- tion of the mucous membranes. Its operation is prompt the children do not dislike to take the medicine, it has no deleterious effects In any part of the body
 It simply removes the cause of the disagreeable symptoms and restores the health.
 Peruna is not a physic. Peruna is not nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does not produce any drug habit. how ever long it may be taken. Peruna is not a stimulant. Peruna is a specific remedy for all catarrhal ailments of winter and sum- mer. acute or chronic.
 The mothers all over the United States are the best friends that Peruna has.
 The Mothers Hold Pe-ru-na in High Esteem.
 Not only because 1t has cured them of their various ailments, but because 1t always rescues the children from the throes and grasp of catarrhal dis eases.
 We have in our files bushels of testi- monials from mothers whose children have been cured by Peruna. However the large majority of mothers who use Peruna, we never heard from. But we do hear from great number of mothers who are so overjoyed at some special good they have received from Peruna that they cannot restrain their enthusiasm. They are anxious to share these benefits with other moth CTS.
 Would Not Be Without Peruna. Mrs. Anna McSweeney, 235 N. Sth St.. Kansas City, Kan.,. writes:
 T would not for anything do without Peruna in the house.
 Tt is a safeguard against colds, for I have given 1t to my children and they are in the best of health.
