To the engineer who has the powerful
forces of nature under his control, the pos
session of a clear head is an absolute neces-
sity. He must have head that is quick
and ready, wide awake and ever on the
lookout to meet emergencies. A clear
head must be free from aches and pains,
because they weaken the nervous force
and divert the attention. 1t must not know
dizziness, dullness, melancholy depres-
sion of spirits, nor nervousness

THE FLOOD IN TENNESSEE.
Fourteen Lives known to Have Been
Lost and Immense Damage to
Property Done.

Knoxville, Tenn, May "a. = The
Knoxville sequel to the terrific flood
in upper East Tennessee and south
west Virginia is just being realized.
Conservative estimates from upper
East Tennessee place the dead ac-
tually found at IA. Speculation, how
ever, exists as to the number that
may be found dead after the water
recedes.
The loss at Elizabethton due to the
flood is conservatively estimated at
about $4,000 OO. The damage to the
town of Watauga is estimated at
about $15O,OOO.
Later details from the food-stricken
section show great damage done in
western North Carolina mountains.
Huntsdale, a new town at the south
ern terminus of the Tennessee division
of the Ohio River & Charleston rail
way, is practically wiped out. At
Unaka, the large railway iron bridge
which spanned Chucky river, has been
destroyed. The lumber and pulp mills
of Gen. John T. Wilder and also rs, 900
logs and a large quantity of lumber
property of the Unaka Lumber COM
pany, have gone down with the tide.
