GREEKS ARE RISING
A HEAVY nAINrALL IN CENTRAL
 ALABAMA.
xne Cahsba River, Ten sSiies west 0i Selma, rs Repoxtea Ts De nesm- sng--The Alabama Rfs-
 fnx Fast.

Selma, Feb. l6.-(specisi. l---Reports received here today from the territory edpAcsut to Selma is that all of the creeks in Central Alabama are rising rapidly and that many of them will overflow by tomorrow and the low lands adjoining will be inundated.
 The rapid rise of the creeks In this section Is caused by the large rain fails in this section during the past few days and all of the cracks would probably have been out of thesr banks before now but for the long dry spell which has prevailed in the section for the past two months.
 The Cahaba River. ten miles west Of Selma, was today reported to be ris- ing rapidly. If the rains have been beavy during the past few days h the Birmingham district. this river will soon be out of it's banks and spread ing over the adjoining iowiands.
 The Alabama river at this point has been rising rapidly during the past few days and If the mark predicted by the weather bureau Is reached, a large portion of the country across thu river from Selma will be inundated. A noticeable feature about the rapid rise ef the Alabama River during the past Sew days Is the lack of driftwood. :. This Is because of the low stage of the waters in the creeks and which have drift In them out into the river.
 The rainfall In Selma during the nast few days has been very heavy.

BRONCHITIS VICTIM
Little Daughter Of Mrs. Hastings uf Fitchhurg Suffered for Years.
 Could Not Attend School Winters.
COMPLETELY CURED BY VInOL

For many years my little daughter suffered from bronchitis. Every win ter she was out of school more than she was in, until at last l had to take her out of school entirely. We had one of the best doctors in the city. and while he would bring her out of the acute attacks all right, they kept oc- curing At last she got so very bad that 1t did not seem as though she could stand any more spells. Know ing that Vinol had cured my little nephew of congestion of the lungs I decided to try it for my daughter. I did so and could soon see a great dif- ference. She took four bottles in all and It has completely cured her. That was a year ago and she has not had an attack of bronchitis since and seems strong and well" Mrs. J. E Hastings, FItehburg. Mass.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases Is because 1t contains tonic iron together with all of the healing, medicinal and body building clements of cod-nvsr oil actually taken from fresh cods liverA-but no oil to upset the stomach and retard its work. 1t does not taste of oil and children love 1t.
 If vin0l fails to benefit any case for which 1t Is recommended we will refund every cent paid us for it. That's your guarantee; we know ii will do you good. E. G. Fowler Mont gonnerv, Ala.
