Possibilities QuWkly «een.
Northern men who were instra-
mental in reclaiming the marsh and
swamp lands of Illinois, Indiana and
Wisconsin by an extensive system of
drainage have been quick to see the
posibilitiee of the low lying regions
of Texas and Louisiana, said Mr. 0. I
H. T. Shaw, of Dixon, 111., at the
Riggs House, Washington, says the
Post of that city.
This southern territory has been
proved of immense possibilities in
the way of rice production, and the
region tributary to Beaumont is now
almost as famous for rice as it Is for
oil The secretary of the treasury,
Mr. Shaw, is interested In a 5MMM1
acre tract in Orange county, Texas,
twp-thirde of which is under cultiva-
tion, and which will produce a crop
of rice this year worth $50,000, in-
dependent of the straw, The straw
will bring enough to pay all the ex-
penses connected with the produc-
tion of the crop.
The extreme limit of oost per acre
of rice is not over $10, and an aver,
age yield of fifteen bags to the acre
will give a profit of $20. This is r
5 per cent return on land worth $40
an acre, though the best of it uow
can be bad for $50.
This money making proposition
he* brought many men from the
northern states to the rice country
of the south, and the present season
will see a great many more going
down there to Invest. The country
is naturally fertile, the climate suits,
aud all that is needed is to turn the
water on the land, which, by the
help of modern machinery,is an easy
task.

Sometimes It Is an excellent Idea to
say precious little.
flAHB day was when men of promi-
I nenee hesitated to give their trstl-
monials to proprietary medicine a for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most propietary medicines. But l’e-
runa haa become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no oue hesi-
tates to see his name in print recom-
mending Peruna.
The highest men In our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement.
Men representing alt classes and sta-
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres-
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate, to state
publicly that he has used Peruna In his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is aupported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terian fhucch.Qf Greenaboro.Ga., writes:
"Having used Peruna In my family for
some time It gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca-
tarrh of the lower bowels Other rem-
edies had failed, but after taking two

tirely disappeared. For this speolal

Rev. B. <T. Smith,
Mr. M. J. Roasman, a prominent mer-
chant of Greensboro, Os., and an alder
in the Presbyterian church of that
place, haa used Peruna, and la a recent
letter to The Peruna Madieiaa Co., of
Colnmbus, Ohio, writes aa follows:
"For a long time 1 waa troubled with
catarrh of the kidneys and tried many
remedies, all of which gave man* relief.
Peruna waa recommended to me by
several friends, and after using a few
bottles I am pleased to say that the long

Peruma to all almtlariy afflicted. It la

Catarrh is essentially the same where*
ever located. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.---————r
