Tho following from the Selma, Ala.,
Times
The Pelma Times has adopted
many plans of advertising and circa
latiou increasing during its present
ownership, but nono has caused more
comment, excited more curiosity or
placed it more in the limelight than
the "hidden check" advertising page
which has apepared for the past three
Sundays.
It is doubtful If thre are many of
ihe gome ten thousand readers of the
Selma Times who cannot tell off
hand the names of every advertiser
cn tie Hidden Check Page and re
peat verbatim the advertisement
This tart shows the value of the plan
to tho9 merchants who took advant
age of the opportunity offered.
A number of places say their
.'laces' were literally torn to pieces
on tho outside by people looking for
the '-Hidden Check."
One woman remarked she knew
those advertisements as well as she
did "Now I lay me down to sleep,"
she had studied them so hard.
Wr-en the check was In Sweltzer's
cign some boys even got ladders and
went cn the roof looking for it They
got the two words "Sweltzer's sign"
then went tearing down to the cor
ner to look for it as it has to be on
the c.it'lde. Keep looking for 1, no
body has it so far as the publishers
oi the Times knows.
The check was later found in a
marble yard under an urn. Remem
ber Hie "Hidden Check Page" will ap
pear for the first time In The Horald.
The finder will receive $5.00 in cash

HEALTHY KIDDIE
FOR FOOD EXPERT
OR. MARVEY W. WILEY TELLS
HOW HE WILL REAR THE
BOY.
12O. A
WASHINGTON, Ma 20. A Btrong
healthy baby boy, weighing nine and
a half pounds, was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley in this city.
Dr. WiKjy is bubbling over with Joy.
"He is a fine boy," he said with a
laugfc toiight. "I have been deluged
with congratulatory telegrams from
all 0 er the country, but the one that
pieases me most was one that I did
not espoct. It came from Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson. -"You
may say that Mrs. Wiley is
gettii.g rlong finely and that the fa
ther also has nearly recovered. The
baby is named after Mrs. Wiley's fa
taer and myself.
"I wanted a girl, but Mrs. Wiley
wanted a boy, and, of course, women
always have their own way."
John Harvey Wiley will be reared
under the direction of the greatest
living authority of food hygiene. The
diet upon which he will subsist and
the-care ' that will Tw fakwnof hhn,'
may 'well serve therefor, as a model
for ' 'be most lucky children in the
United States.
Dr. W'ley insists that the great In
fant mortality is directly due to ig
norance .s to the care that should be
taken of them.
FLAGGED TRAIN WITH SHIRT.
Tearing his shirt from his back an
Ohio man flagged a train and saves
It from a wreck, but H. T. Alston,
Raleigh, N. C, once prevented a
wreck with Electric Bitters. "I was
in a terrible plight when I began to
use them," he writes, "my stomach.
head, back and kidneys were all
badly affected and my liver was In
bad condition, but four bottles of
Electric Bitters made me feel lilt
a new man." A trial will convince
yea of their matchlee merit for any
stomach, liver or kidney trouble
Vrice SO cents at W0LD&XDQ8 CO.
H. C. Weter, of Nashville, who re
cently accepted the lease of the Co
lumbia Military Academy, will be in
charge 01 the ousmess acairs or tne
institution and associated with him
will be Col. J. C. Hardy, for the past
3even yoars one of the principals of
the institution. Col. Hardy will be
the principal of the school and will
have charge of the student body
This gratifying announcement was
made this morning by Prof Weber
upon hi arrival from Nashville. Mr,
Weber stated that his family would
move here about Oct 1 next and that
he would makt Columbia his borne
while Col. Hardy will remain as prin
cipal of the institution. The an
nouncement was also made that Mr.
Wtber bad secured a twenty year
Icaso on the Academy.
Upon his arrival here, accompanied
by Prof. W. E. Bostick, a member of
the board of trustees of the Columbia
Military Academy, and former super
intendent of schools in Columbia, Mr.
Weber was met at the station ty a
committee of the Board of Trade,
composed of J. M. Dedman, Col. J. C.
Hardy, .f. I. Finney, Eugene Ander
son and Warren Titcomb. He was
taker, in Mr. Titcomb's car to the
Bethel Houso where he was the guest
of the Board of Trade during his stay I M
in tan city. Mr. Weber held a regu
lar reception at the hotel, numerous
callers being received.
After the reception at the hotel Mr.
Weber went to the Military Acade
my with Col. Hardy and others, and
spent some time there. He was also
taken for a spin around the city and
shown some of the points of interest
Mr. Weber is not unknown to the
people of Columbia. He has a num
ber rf personal friends here and his
career as superintendent of the
school? of Nashville has made his
name conspicuous in the list of suc
cessful educators, of the state.
When he arrived Mr. -Weber gave
out the following statement:
"I aa hoped that the differences
between . Cols. Hardy and Edgerton
migut bnve been adjusted and that
they would have continued in the
management of the Academy under
teir lease until Its - termination-
three years hence. It was my pur
pose to have applied for a lease at 1
that time. The failure of agreement
betwen Cols. Hardy and Edgerton
made tho property available at this
time and I secured the lease of same
ior a period of twenty years.
Immediately j upon being notified
of the decision of the board of trus
tees to grant me- the lease, I wiote
both Cols. Hardy and Edgerton invlt-l-ig
them to remain in the faculty. I
regret that Colonel Edgerton could
not see h?s way clear to stay with the
school.
"UiAJD receiving answer from Col
onel Hardy that be would take the
matter up with me I made him a
proposition which he accepted with
out bufjesting a change. It was my
purpose to make either or both of
the principals such a proposition that
should they remain they would be in
perfectly dignified position. Colo
nel Hrly will be principal of the
cademy and control the student
body, wh'le I as lessee, shall look af
ter te tuslness affairs; aa(J,we both
will see to it that the general policy
of the Academy snail be to furnish
the youth of the country with the
best possible training. I think Col.
Hardy Is perfectly satisfied with all
arranpmentr and I see no . reason
why . school ,secod ta noe in its
class should not be maintained."
