Huntsville. October 1.--(Special) AT the
monthly meeting of the Chamber of Com
nerce, Secretary Frost reported that he
is receiving a. great many inquiries from
persons who are seeking sites in this
portion of the south for manufacturing
enterprises. He reported that it would be
of great advantage TO have a permanent
list OF available sites so that they could
be submitted to each inquirer. A COM
mittee was appointed to have this work
in charge and obtain a list of the sites
available with their cost and other IN
formation.
The Chamber of Commerce indorsed the
work of the Civic league in agitating the
building of a bridge across the Tennessee

endeavoripg to interest the counties OF
Madison and Marshall and the Louisville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad in the
project.
All of the springs in the mountains
near here, including the famous Cold
Spring. have gone dry since the pro-
tracted dry spell. Cold Spring and several
others never known to be dry before
have failed and there Is a great deal of
trouble resulting, especially among the
people who have cattle and stock. Water
is being hauled to the mountain from the
Huntsville spring. People in a great many
portions of Madison county are hauling
water from this spring also. =.

THE
EFFECTS OF TARIFF
The Volume of Business in
Rolled Products Dis
appointing

New York, October 1.-THE volume of
business in rolled products was disap-
pointing to the steel mills this week and
Thus far the effect of the new tariff has
been to curtail business. as consumers
anticipating lower prices remained out of
the market. On the other hand foreign
competition in the home markets has been
almost negligible to date and there has
been no occasion for the mills to reduce
| prices here, but in the last six weeks
steel billets have receded SO per ton.
Steel sheet even more and tin plate 80
per ton or 10 cents per base box.
Wire products have not changed essen
TALLY, except in the south. where local
mills have shaded prices 81 per ton. The
new tariff schedule gives foreign wire
nails. plain wire and galvanized barbed
fence wire an advantage of 50 per ton on
the Atlantic seaboard but the advantage
disappears as freight rates to the interior
are encountered. Any readjustment OF
prices here will require months to estab-
| lsh.
In the meantime home manufacturers
are we'll fortified with specifications On
contracts, and as a whole rolling mills
| schedules are well in hand for the rest
| of the year. Some special lines, however,
are suffering. and output of sheets and
| tin plate is being reduced.
Last week the railroads placed orders
for nearly $4,000 tons of rails, including
10000 for the Great Northern, 5000 for the
| Chicago Great Western, 5000 for the Jersey

APPETITE WAS POOR
Peruna was advised. Was completely restored.

Food has two purposes, tissue build
ing and repairing and heat making.
The heat making properties of food
arc not needed so much during the
quired. November brings cold weather
again and more food Is required for
heat making purposes. The appetite
Graves more food, and the result is
most people over indulge.
This may bring on condition of
the stomach known as dyspepsia. The
stomach is suddenly surprised with
extra work In digesting unusual
amounts of food. In some cases it is
not equal to the emergency.
Peruna Is an excellent stomachic.
1t stimulates the stomach in its nat
ural functions. 1t acts as a gentle
laxative also. and In this way enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
rise to the emergency of the extra work
thrown upon them during the month of
November.
few doses of Peruna during the
early days of November would un-
doubtedly save great many people
from the horrors of dyspepsia. 1t is
an excellent remedy. 1t should be in
every home, in order to enable the
digestive organs to adjust themselves
to the difference of diet between sum-
mer and winter.
