GRAPES GROW IN UMPQUA Fruit Scientifically Handled Pro duces Wonderful Results. ROSEBURG, Or., Oct. 18. (Special.) If any one has questioned the adapta bility of Umpqua Valley grape culture, they would not go amiss to see the wonderful display of the lucious fruit brought to town today by Charles Brands, of the Overland Orchards in Garden Valley. These Tokays and Black Prince grapes were picked from a young vineyard on the Overland Orchard tracts, about eight miles northwest of Roseburg, on the North Umpqua River. Mr. Brand was the first person in Douglas County to engage in the grape culture from a scientific standpoint, and his success has already attracted much attention in this community. The Tokays exhib ited here today by Mr. Brand are beau tifully colored, large and of delicious flavor. The vineyards at the Overland Orchards are located on a hillside, and on land that was not considered desir able for apples and other varieties of the larger fruits. Mr. Brand cultivates his grapes scientifically, and has al ready demonstrated what can be done when care is used in nursing the grapes to maturity. Mr. Brand has several acres of land planted to grapes, and within a few years he will be producing the fruit on a commercial basis.

Ray Clark, of Union, was acquitted on a perjury charge in the circuit uourt here yesterday, when Judge Knowles directed a Jury to find Clark not guilty.

Kansas, Mrs. J. O. Atkinson, of Wichita, Kansas, firmly believes that she would have been dead had it not been for Peruna and Manalin. She was very much out of sorts when her husband induced her to take these remedies. She had been sick for 25 years, more or less. As is usual in such cases, she was suffering from a complication of diseases. Of course, a great many things had been resorted to, but it appears from the account of her case that she re ceived no particular benefit from any thing that she tried. As her husband states: "Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians." Prominent among her other troubles was chronic constipation. Constipation is very distressing where it continues. The choice between constipation and the continued use of physic is a very doubtful one. It was in this dilemma that Peruna found Mrs. Atkinson. She used it faithfully, according to directions, and was completely restored, not only from her constipation, but also her former ailments. This occurred some 12 or 15 years ago, since which time we have been in constant correspondence with her, and she has continued to praise Peruna and enjoy the best of health. People who object to liquid medi cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets. Adr. Store Opens 8:30 A.M. and Saturdays at 9:15 A.M.
