HEAVIEST RAIN OF SEASON

Wichita may expect a cold wave today.
day evening. Snow has fallen at Helena
and other points in Montana for nearly
thirty-six hours, and yesterday evening
the temperature was falling rapidly at
almost every point west OF distinct line
between Phoenix, Arizona. and the Cana
dian, following very closely the 100 Ineri-
dian. AT several points west Of this
line the thermometer registered as low as
twenty-nine degrees ana from that up 10
forty and fifty, showing that a cold wave
was passing over almost the entire west.
This wave is moving steadily eastward,
and although ii may lose some OF its
force before reaching this section of the
country, MIR. Todd, the weather bureau
man, stated last night that he expected
the temperature 10 fall 10 at least forty de-
grees at an early hour this morning
Snow does not,seem TO figure in the cold
wave. so there IS very little probability
that snow will fall here. The only snow
storm located by the weather department
yesterday was in Montana, where it was
estimated last night that a foot of snow
had fallen
Yesterdays rainstorm was the heaviest
of the season. The downpour commenced
few minutes after o'clock and lasted
just one hour and five minutes. In that
time just .9S of an inch of water fell. the
greatest amount in that length of time
that has fallen this year. On the eleventh
day of this month .92 OF an inch fell. but
il was a steady all-day rain and did not
come down in torrents as il did yester-
day. Yesterdays rain came suddenly
and almost unexpected. and as a result a
great many shoppers were caught In the
downpour. The streets were flooded for
some time after the rain ceased to fall.
making it very inconvenient for those on
the streets. 1t is generally conceded by
all Wichita weather birds that after the
cold wave predicted for today has passed.

THE ETNA LIFE.

The Etna Life Insurance company of
Hartford, Conn, publishes In another
column its fifty-third annual statement.
This shows that the business done In 1902
was one of noteworthy growth In every
direction, and the resulting big figures
put the Etna Life as the leader among
the great life insurance companies of New
England.
The total premium income for the year
was the large sum of $1O, ,224 1850, and the
total payments to policy holders was the
sum of $6, 1858, ,O99.
Few realize how immense and widely
distributed are the benefits which result
from life insurance. Figures of disburse-
ments to licy-holders are read with In
terest, but they are so large that most
persons fail to comprehend their signif-
cance. But let one try to conceive what
this vast sum of sc, 1868 ,O99 meant to the
army of Htna policy holders In 1909.
Omitting Sundays and holidays, there
we're about three hundred working days
in the year. Assuming that each work
ing day consisted of eight hours, the
Etna Life paid to Its policy holders:
Every minute, $44.21.
Every hour, so, ,653.OO.
Every working day, 1921, 1927 90.
Every week, $122 ,463 90.
Every month, $500 $1,000.
During the whole year, $6, 1858, 900 90.
The whole of the splendid sum was
distributed from Maine to California,
from the Lakes and Hudson's Bay to the
Gulf of Mexico. In most instances the
money went to people who actually need
ed 1t. 1t fell as a blessed hope upon
many who, without 1t, would have been
forced to accept the cold charity of the
world, even for daily bread. 1t enabled
many a bereaved widow to continue to
live In comfort. 1t provided education
for children. 1t freed home after home
from the bondage of mortgage. This
summed up, makes a grand years work
for the Etna Life.
The detailed statement of the company
shows that the investments of the Ktna
are conservatively and wisely made, and
the abundant strength of the company is
recognized by all familiar with financial
matters. Its president, in fact, as we'll as

twenty wears ago its assets we're about

proportions, and 1t stands proof of his
executive ability.

Our SCraWny
People

Not all thin people are in actual
Ill health, but undue thinness means
danger, and "scrawny" thinness
means the result of wasting, when
wrinkles and loss of strength as
we'll as loss of weight show that
something is wrong.
This something may be worry,
extra work, care of the sick, nervous
arrangement, dyspepsia, bowel
troubles, or the first sign of the
onset of serious disease like CON-
sumption or kidney trouble.
How often we hear: "She'd be
a pretty woman if she wasn't so
horribly thin " It's too bad, for
most of these thin women are sick.
The best thing we have found
for thin people, whatever the
cause of the thinness, is Vinol.
1t seems to nourish at once, and
also to start an appetite for good
food. 1t was a great discovery 10

pleased, we pay the money back.
Remember fat doesn't create fat; !;
so you don't need the greasy kind
of cod liver oil to increase weight.
Vinol is better and tastes delicious.

A WILD GALE RACES
In Addition Norfolk Reports
AbnormaIly High
Waters.
(By the Associated Press J

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 9.-Norfolk is in the
grasp Of forty-mile blow tonight and in
stead of diminishing, as forecasted, the
wind seems to increase in velocity as time
| passes.
In the lower Chesapeake two three
masted schooners have been blown ashore,
one near Lynn Haven Inlet and the
other near Little Greek Inlet. The main
land Is flooded to such an extent by the
high tide it is impossible to get near
enough the vessels to distinguish their
identity. Both are hard aground, but
are not regarded as being in any great
danger. Ali hands are still aboard. so far
as can be learned.
In the inner harbor navigation has been
greatly impeded by the numberless snail
craft seeking shelter from the gale. The
streets in the lower part of the city have
been flooded all day and in many cases
residents were compelled to secure boats
to leave their homes this morning.
The wind on the coast has ranged all
the way from sixty to seventy-two miles
in velocity and only the fact it has
blown off shore is accountable for the
lack of disasters so far.
In Norfolk today a tree was blow
down tnat was brought mere from Il
grave of Napoleon in St. Helena and
was regarded as one of the historical fea-
lures of the city. Plate glass windows
suffered all over town and buildings we're
damaged to a great or less degree in
number of instances.
The Bleaching of an empty yawl boat
in the eastern branch late this afternoon
containing one oar and a woman's hat
is thought to mean the drowning of some
one and an investigation is now beiJg
made.
Telephone and telegraph communication
with outside points is practically at a
standstill and the greatest difficulty j.
experienced in securing reports from the
coast.
The force of the blow has parted sew.
eral feed cables of the lighting system
and early this morning the greater par
of the city was in darkness. High tides
prevented the operation of the trolley
service in low lying portions of the city
and completely blocked the traffic on the
Chesapeake Transit Company, running
from Norfolk to Lynn Haven Inlet, Cape
Henry and Virginia Beach.
