28 AMAZON VALLEY IS RECOVERING Shocks to Business Caused by War Are Being Healed Over Para, Mouth of Amnion River, Nov. 21. —Business conditions in the Amazon Valley are beginning to re cover from the disturbance of com merce caused by the war, Rubber estate owners, and businessmen generally, realize that the compe tition of Oriental "plantation" rub ber which has forced the market price of that article down to about the actual cost of gathering "wild" Amazon rubber is really a blessing in disguise, since it is bringing about the development of the other nn-j I tural resources left untouched so long as rubber monopolized all at- I tention in the valley. Foodstufis ! that used to be imported front , abroad, or from other parts of Bra zil, are now being raised locally. A partv headed by Henry Flout ing, of New York, which has been investigating the commercial possi bilities of the Amazon Valley has re turned to the city after a two-month tour of the Amazon and some of its 1 principal affluents, nearly 8,000 miles of rivers being covered in the course of the trip. Mr. Fleming is receiver of an American company with extensive docking, shipyard, and navigation property at Para. Much Data Gathered The main river was ascended for over 2,500 miles, as far as Iquitos, Peru, and also the Javary, Purus, Negro, Xingu, Mo.iu, Tocantiins and other rivers for varying distances. A vast amount of valuable informa tion and data has been gathered as a result, which is being placed free of charge at the disposal of Ameri can manufacturers, importers, ex porters and others interested in tlio development of the Amazon Valley. Many inquiries have recently been made by Americans seeking informa tion regarding lands available for cattle raising, grain growing, and minerals which indicates an awaken ing interest in the United States in regard to the Amazon country. According to Mr. Fleming the most encouraging sign noted on the trip was tho increase in the produc tion of foodstuffs of all kinds. Mandioca corn, sugarcane, rice, beans, bananas, melons, fruits of many species, and occasionally to bacco and cotton, have been plant ed in small patches along the river hanks near the towns and settle ments. Before the war practically all foodstuffs had to be imported as the wages paid rubber gatherers was so high as to make labor unavail able for agricultural work, and at least two crops of corn, beans, mandioca, etc. are gathered between floods. Labor Problem Better One of the staple products most affected by the rubber boom was Cacao. AVhen labor was attracted by the lure of high wages, most of the large Cacao plantations had 10 be abandoned; to-day they are be ing cleaned and restored and new trees are being planted. Local cotton men are optimistic as to the future of Amazon cotton, which is said to be At' excellent qual ity and long staple. There are large, Immense areas of the Amazon Val ley suitable for cotton growing, and in many places, notably Iquitos (Peru), Santarem, Monte Algere, this is now being produced ill in creasing quantities. Last year was the first that any concerted effort was made to grow cotton, but the idea seems to have taken on with many landowners. , Kaiser's "Brother" Wanted to Visit Him; Returned to Germany Ainerongen, Holland. Nov. 21. Amerongen officials whose task is to guard the safety of the former Ger man Emperor were surprised into activity the other day by a German who said he was "Prince Friederich of Hohenzollern" and a brother of the former Emperor. The visitor registered at a hotel as Gustavus Cyrus, of Berlin. He wrote to the former Emperor at Ben tinck castle, demanding an interview on important "family matters." The police were informed and investi gation revealed that the man had in some way actually reached Holland from Germany the night before with out any papers to identify him, and be was speedily sent back over the frontier. When tho exiled monarch first came to Amerongen the village was visited by many persons who were mentally unbalanced. Among them one man who said that he was the King of England, and tried to prove it. Danzig May Be Supply Base For Yanks in Silesia With the American Forces iu Ger many, Nov. 21.—Plans were com pleted recently by headquarters of the American Forces in Germany for the lines of communication and di rection of supplies for the American units which are expected to form a paVt of the Allied troops of occupa tion in Upper Silesia during the plebiscite to be held there soon after the Treaty of Peace goes into effect. It is possible that Danzig will be used as a supply base for these tvoops which are expected to remain In Silesia for months. Announcement was made some time ago that the Fifth and Fif tieth Infantry Regiments, which were then in the United States, had been selected for duty in Silesia, go ing byway of Ooblenz. Asthma Is Dangerous Folly To Disregard Its Warning Asthma Is not only a disagreeable affliction but a dangerous one. The constant difficult breathing. the choked up air passages, the struggle for air. the loss of rest, combine to force a great strain on the nervous system and heart often too great a strain to stand. It is the worst of folly to neglect such a condition or to continually treat with ordinary narcotic medi cines, drugs, inhalers, smokes, or douches which merely give tempor ary relief from the choking par oxysms and do not relieve or correct the real cause of the trouble. In stead get from Geo. A. Gorgas or any druggist a small bottle of Oxidaze (essential oil) tablets and take one at short Intervals when ever distress is felt and one on going to bed. In stant. relief is usually felt and in ad dition the effect of consistent treat ment is to gradually bring about a greatly Improved health condition as the symptoms" of Astbinn disappear fouever. Oxidaze is the successful prescription of a Worcester. Mass.. physician and its treatment of Asth ma. even hi lite very worst forms lias probably never been excelled. Geo. A. (lorgns sells it and patients find It a safe pleasant and inexpen sive treatment to use.
