Need This Spring.


Probably nine people out of ten

with sick people in overheated homes.
Depleted blood, loss of the red cor

tonic strength and nourishment that
Peptiron will give you. 1t is a Won
derful corrective of anemic tendency,
paleness, 1anguor, nerve exhaustion.
Peptiron restores the red cor
puscles to the blood and gives a
natural vigor and snap that keeps
up courage, makes you CHEEKY and
helpful to your family and friends,
and contributes wonderfully to the
health of all. Remember this one
thing-as vitality, positively true

DOMINICAN CROP
OF TOBACCO POOR
Planters Also Find Difficulty
in Marketing Product.

SANro DOMINGO, Dominican Republic
Oct 26.-The widespread failure of this
years tobacco crop in the Dominican
Republic is causing grave concern to
planters throughout the Republic. To-
bacco ranks only second to cacao in
Importance and in normal times 1t
constitutes about 80 per cent of the
total exports. Production during the
last two years has been quite large
that Of 1917 was the largest in the his
tory of the Republic. but unfortunately
on account of the weather conditions
the crops have not been up to the
standard in quality. In addition there
has been considerable difficulty In mar
keting II on account Of the scarcity of
ocean tonnage and the prevailing high
freishts
Prior to the war practically all of the
Dominican tobacco was shipped to
Bremen or Hamburg, either for consump-
ton in Germany or for re-exportation
to various European markets. During
the war, however. New York in a meas
ure succeeded the German ports as a
distributing centre, although several
full cargoes went direct from Puerto
Plata to the consuming markets of
France, Spain and Holland.
With the return of peace conditions
1t had been hoped that the old routes
of trade would be resumed, but in view
OF the shortage which will occur this
year 1t is more than likely that the
smaller crop will be disposed of in the
markets more close at hand.

Rio DE JANBrRo. Oct. S.--The statistics
recently made public by the Minister of
immigration confirm the belief that the
number of immigrants who came to this
country during 1917 was smaller than
that of any year since 1887.
During the last thirty years more
than four million foreigners have come
to reside permanently in Brazil. OF
this number the Portuguese immigrants
far outnumber all Others nearly two
million and a quarter having come from
that country Next to them are the
Italians, which number some $4,000.
and following them are the Spanish
146,91s, Russians 40.17o, Austrians 34,-
900, Germans 1880, French $500. Eng
lish 2,77S, Belgians 1850, and Swiss
SIS, with nearly 20,0 not classified.
The greatest period Of immigration
occurred during the eight years from
1890 to 1897, when no less than a million
immigrants entered Brazil. 1t was dur
Ing these years that the development of
the coffee industry took place. and 1t
was largely due to the huge supply of
labor available that the output of the
coffee plantations increased to such an
extent that there resulted the market
glut Of 1905-1907.
For the period Immediately preceding
the war immigration was heavy; from
1907 to 1918 s45,2sS newcomers were
registered. During the war immigration
fell or to a great extent. For 1914 the
figures are S2.572: for 1915. 32,206; for
1916, 34.002, and for 1917. 31,192. Previ-
Gus to the war the smallest immigration
took place in 1ss7-65.965 The largest
number of immigrants was recorded in
1891 when 216.760 are stated to have
arrived on Brazilian shores.
Figures for 1918 are not yet available.
but 1t is stated that they will in all prob
ability show some slight increase. The
same 70 greater extent Is predicted
for 1919.
AS to what country the majority OF
the immigrants will come from in the
future It Is impossible to predict. Be-
fore the war the Italians were beginning
to outnumber the Portuguese, and IN
view of the heavy burdens of taxation
which the people OF that country will
be obliged to bear in the coming years
1t Is only natural to expect that a large
number will attempt to escape to Brazil
The same holds true in regard to Ger
ran and Austrian immigration.
Although Brazil entered the war ON
the side of the Allies, she will be glad
to receive German immigrants. Previous
to the war there had been no small
fear lest the large settlements of Ger
mans in the southern States of Santa
Catherine, Parana. and Rio Grande do
Sui might be a menace to the solidarity
of the country. but their quiet attitude
throughout the war and their refusal to
take any action which would be a HIN
drance to this nation in its military
movements against the "Vaterlsnd'
have convinced most Brazilians that
the Germans are willing and glad TO
throw away entirely their allegiance 10

large profits from the crop of the COM

The loss is especially felt because of
the fact that during the last four years
the crop has been far below the average
OF the five years preceding the war. and
1t was hoped that this years crop would
serve to recoup the planters for the bad
years.
The Tucuman sugar industry dates
back as far as 1850, but it was not till
1870 that any real development took
place. By 1884 the annual production
had reached $1,000 tons and by 1910 It
amounted to $4,000 tons In 1914 1885,
600 tons were produced, but following
that year production fell of. and in
1917 only $4,000 tons were raised.
approximately 100000 acres are I'M
der cultivation, SIS per cent of which are
located in the province of Tucuman.
Nearly forty mills are in operation. The
yield is not high when compared with
Cuban sugar, the average being about
SIS per cent.

PERU NOW RESUMES
RAILROAD BUILDING
Extension of Chimbote Line
in Progress.

CHIMBoTE, Peru. Sept. 21.--The re-
turn to peace conditions and the conse-
quent release of railroad construction
material has made possible the resump-
ton of work on the extension of the
Chimbote railroad from Chuquian to
Cajabamba.
The Chimbote railroad now extends
some thirty-slx miles to Tablones, start
Ing from the port of Chimbote. The
latter place possesses what Is generally
considered to be the best port in Peru,
but at present 1t is relatively unimpor-
tant. Only one train a week is operated
In each direction. for the only freight
offered for transportation consists Of
sugar from plantations belonging TO the
Peruvian Sugar Company and products
from large estate known as Tambo
Real.
The future OF the railroad lies in the
possibility of an extension of approx
mately 100 miles to the coal fields of
Recuay. Conflicting reports concerning
the value of this coal have been pub
lished. but with the development Of the
briquetting process It is claimed 1t can
be made marketable. Some thirty
miles of the Recuay extension Ito La
Limena) have been completed.
Surveys have also been made for a
continuation OF the line from Recuay on
to a point where it will connect with
the Cerro de Pasco Railway. This Is,
however. a project which lies very far
In the future unless some foreign cap
italist can be prevailed upon to under
take the work It has been estimated
that an, expenditure of 100000 gold
would enable any possible purchaser to
acquire the present railway mileage and
port concession. build the necessary ex-
tension and open the coal fields for de-
velopment The railroad Is at present
one of the systems operated by the
Peruvian Corporation.
