ST. LOUIS NEXT DANGER POINT
Weather Bureau Says River There vii
Go Much Hiqher.

| Washington, June 2.-No attempt
was made at the weather bureau las.
night to belittle the gravity of the flood
| situation in the central west 1T will
be worse before ii is better" in SEN
| tence covers the conclusions of DR..
Frankenfield, the forecast official ST.
Louis will probably be the next city to
! report calamities, because the river is
doomed to pass the danger line Here
| is a bulletin issued at the weather bu-
| reau at 10 O'Clock last night
Although the crests OF the flood
| in northeast Kansas and northwest
Missouri We're apparently reached to-
day. yet the extreme gravity of the
situation cannot be overestimated. The
water at Kansas City yesterday morn
! ing was thirty-fiv feet deep, but two
feet lower than the great high water
stage of June 20, 1914. At p. m. the
water was stationary. 34.9 feet, with a
light rain still falling.
Conditions could not become worse
even though the waters We're to rise
few feet higher. They now extend
from bluff to bluff. and business of ev-
cry description is practically demoral-
lied. There is neither elecerict light,
water or street car, and little or no
railroad service. The flood wave is
moving steadily down the river below
Kansas City, and general warnings
have been issued for dangerous stages
for several days to come. The danger
line of thirty feet will be passed at
ST. Louis within thirtysiX hours, and
a stage of possibly thirty-four feet is
indicated within the next four days
with the water now in sight. The Mis-
sissippi from keokuk to the mouth of
the Missouri is also above danger line
generally, and some damage has result
ed. The stages, however, will not be
excessive"
Official dispatches to the postoffice
department report that the floods have
wrought havoc to the mail service in
southern Iowa Nebraska, and in the
neighborhood of Kansas City. A sum-
mary of the food situation telegra phed
here yesterday afternoon by Superin-
tendent West of the Chicago division,
of the railway service follows:

The Question Answered.

Estell Springs. Tenn, Aug. 24th.-
Many questions are being asked of
Mr.. G. D. Holt Of this place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
two years he has been down with his
back He was so very bad that ne
could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap-
peared as well and strong as ever.
It is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him. "How did you
do it,"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it." and adds: "This remedy
is a genuine good medicine and one
that ! can heartily recommend to
everybody.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad was. was so weak in
my back that couldn't do anything
that needed STOPPING or bending over,
and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills made me as you see, as well as
ever I was.
They certainly had a wonderful
effect On my case"

New York NViIk ,8upply,

One hundred and nifty thousand
cows constituting an immense herd
that would do honor to any great cat
tie range Of the west are engaged the
year round in supplying all their milk
70 the people Of Greater New York.
More than one million quarts Of this
huid are consumed every day in the
American metropolis. The stream
flows to this center from Ave states
New York. New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA, Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The milk industry in the largest city
OF America engages capital Of prob
ably sixty million dollars, says Leslie's
Weekly. The territory which supplies
New York city with this essential ar
ttcle OF food lis divided, in general
way, into two. zones. The boundary of
the outer zone is four hundred miles
from the city and the width Of this
zone is about two hundred and fifty
miles. The inner zone is about one
hundred miles wide, the outer boun.
Diary being about one hundred and fifty
miles from New York, while the inner
boundary is fifty miles from the same
center. The area within fifty miles
OF Manhattan Island produces prac.
tically no milk, for this large district
is not pastoral; it is filed with subur-
ban towns, all tributary to the busiest
city In the world. In this fifty miles
area there is no room for pastures and
COWS. And the suburbs Of the city are
gradually crowding the dairy district
farther and farther away.
