A SWEDISH MINISTER
Regains Health BY the Use of Pe-ru-na
After Three Years Illness.

CEPTEMBER is the month of bowel
0dIseases, Typhoid fever and malaria.
Catarrh of the bowels is very COM
mon at this time of the year. 1t pro-
duces the condition ordinarily called
diarrhoea. Catarrh sometimes affects
the mucous membranes lining the
bowels very extensively.
Catarrh of the internal organs pre-.
disposes its victims to malaria,
Typhoid fever and bowel diseases.
Peruna prevents these autumn all
ments by Kidding the system of ca
tarrh.
Good sound mucous membranes pro
tect the internal cavities of the body
from infection the same as the skin
protects the outside of the body.

lions, Though the metal will not arrive at
this port until after the end of the week,
the treasury advances will be available
to the importers Immediately upon the
presentation to the treasury of evidence
that the gold has been shipped. The
amount which was reported last week as
having been engaged in London for ship
ment was 10 AS millions, and doubtless
this sum will be largely increased by en-
gagements which have been deferred
awaiting the effective operation of Sec
rotary Shaw's device for assisting gold
imports.
The daily average of bank clearings for
five days of last week was SS70,0O0000

New York. September S.-The Financier
this week says;
The official statement of the New York
associated banks last week showed, as
was expected, from the large loss of cash
to these institutions as almost daily reach
ed by the treasury, and also from the
drain of money to the interior for crop
moving purposes not only the extinction
of the surplus reserve but a larger de-
ficiency than has been reported in recent
years The cash loss was SIG, 4oS, 100. an
amount much greater than was estimated
upon the basis of the traceable movements
of money during the week; the difference
of about five millions between the esti-
mated and actual loss as reported by the
statement may be very readily accounted
for by the bringing over into last week
of loss of the previous week represented
by the averages.
Deposits decreased s21.SfS100. which
amount very closely agrees with the sum
of the contraction in loans, and the loss
of cash so that the statement made a

Sewer Inspection.

Under the supervision of Engineer
Julian Kendrick. the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen and several citizens and news
paper men, the first official inspection of
the new sewerage system being put in
was made today, and the work was found
to be in excellent condition. Several OPEN
ings were made in different parts of the
city and no defect was foundgin any of
them.
Considerable interest is attached to this
inspection, in view of the publicity given
a number of charges of prominent citi-
zens against the contractors several
weeks ago. The charges were denied by
the engineer and contractors at the time
and the inspection today will in a great
measure settle the disputes. The points
where the inspections were made were
those designated by the gentlemen MAX
ing the complains as being the worst in
the entire work. The West Construction
company of Chattanooga are the con-
tractors who are putting in the system
and Mr. Kendrick is the city engineer of
Birmingham
Cotton in this section is opening freely
and picking is we'll under way. The crop
here is raised mostly by white farmers,
who are not dependent upon negro labor.
This and the fact that the soil is of a
white, sandy nature, which does not stain
the staple, is the cause of its finding a
ready sale at home. the entire product of
this and several adjoining counties be-
ing consumed by the large mill in this
city. The farmers have made good crops
OF corn. potatoes hay and fruits and are
in excellent financial condition, and are

lxet but will hold for the best price pos
sible in most instances. The weather Is
still favorable and a crop equal to that
last year is predicted.
