 Mr Thomas Fraser, 636 2nd St., N. E., Washington, D. C., writes:
 "Peruna has done so much for me that I feel it my duty to tell you and those afflicted of it's merits. 1 was a sufferer from indigestion and bilious ness until I could only attend to my duties in an indifferent way and really took no pleasure in life.
 T was advised to try a change of climate, which of course would mean a loss of my position, when fortunately one of my friends advised me to use Peruna.
 T did so and in two weeks I was a different man and shortly after l was cured of my stomach trouble. It Is certainly a great medicine"
 How many people in this country are afflicted with biiiousness and indi- gestion. Hundreds of thousands of people.
 After they have tried physlc and drugs and travel and sanitariums many of them at last resort to Peruna. Of course they will. It could not be other wise, with such testimony as this be- fore their eyes. A great multitude of people have taken Peruna and know what it will do. Many of them declare themselves cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna.

Selma Has Not Had a Death in Four Weeks-Street Preacher Dso- beys Mayors Order Because
 God Directed Otherwise.

Selma, June 29.-(Special.)-In a few days officers are expected to reach Ala bama and proceed to Linden, in Marengo county, with the young man who after serving as agent of the Southern Express company at Faunsdale for about four days. was discharged, and who took with him on the day he was checked out a package containing $1OO0 in currency.
 The young man came from Russell county, where his wife lives and to whose support he has contributed In very desultory manner, 1t is said. He was sent to Faunsdale a few days before the last of May to become agent of the rail road and the express company. He did not give satisfaction on account of his fondness for drink and on June he was checked out. While the express route agent was checking him out a package from the City National bank of this city to the Faunsdale National bank was re- ceipted for by him at the depot, but the way bill was torn up, and consequently the item did not show up while the route agent was checking him out
 The package contained 5000, and failing to show up the Selma bank was commun. icated with, and it was found to have been shipped on June l. It was then easily traced to the ex-agent.
 Since the loss of the package was dis covered, which was about June G. the Southern Express company has been hot after the man. He was arrested last Saturday in Richmond, Va, and had made away with all of the thousand dol lars except $261. Officials of the com pany who knew the man went to Rich mond the early part of this week. and identified him. He will likely be brought back to this state as soon as requisitlon papers can be secured.

Not a Death in a Month.

There are some people who have an Idea that it is almost as much as their lives are worth to spend the entire sum- mer in Selma. There are others in va rious parts of the state who have a mo- ton. gained through transformation, tha. Selma is unhealthy.
 It has been four weeks since the first or the month, and in those four weeks there has not occurred a single death in Selma. Not one. Think of it, and then compare other cities of Alabama where from fifteen to twenty-five deaths are re- ported each week
 There have been a few funerals, but in each instance the death occurred away from Selma, and of persons who had not been in Selma in at least six or eight months. There are few if any cities of the country that can boast such a record. there are three up-to-date hospitals in the city, where patients come from all parts of the state, many of them in prac- tcallly an incurable condition, before they consent to go to such institutions
 Physicians declare that they have never had as little to do nor as few cases of malaral or typhoid fever to treat The healthful conditions are easily ascribed to the excellent sanitation in Selma The city is cleaner than it has been in years, the 'clean up days" of last month hav- ing been productive of the greatest good. Instead of going to mountains and sea . shore persons seeking health should come to Selma. They will find it here.

CAME TO
STUDY DRY
FARMING

So anxious Is the government OF
Brazil to learn practical methods of
reclamation and dry land farming,
that she has sent an attache of her
department of agriculture 5000 miles
to Oregon to study the methods I'm
use in the arid section of this state.
-Senor Enrique Arcole, an attache
of the agricultural department of the
government OF Brazil, was passen-
ger on No. today, on his way TO
Portland, where he goes on a trip
connected with the commercial rela-
tions OF Brazil and the United States.
After visiting there for few days he
expects to return to Hermiston, Echo
and the Butter creek country to look
over the irrigated land and study
methods of irrigation.
Senior Arcole left Brazil last March
for the purpose OF studying dry land
farming methods In the Pacific coast
states, and has been for two months
In Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, ana
will now give some time to Oregon.
The Brazilian government, like the
United States, Is striving to find
homes for thousands of immigrants
coming into the country and for her
overflow population from the cities.
In the central portion of Brazil are
millions of acres OF high upland
which Is susceptible of dry farming
and which Brazil will seek to reclaim
by this method If possible. Her vast
ranges which have been the wonder
OF the world for years are being In
vaded by settlers and Portuguese are
going for hundreds OF miles into the
Interior In search OF homes on the
small rivers and creek bottoms.
Senior Arcole speaks enthusiast
tically OF his experiences In the uni
ted States. He Is an educated Brazil
ion, having attended Harvard univer-
sity for number of years and speaks
English very well. other attaches
of the Brazilian government left at
the same time he started TO this
country to study methods of farming
In Australia. South Africa and Mexi-
co and all expect TO return and re-
port their findings about January !,
