FLOODS ALONG THE
RIO GRANDE RIVER

Laredo, Tex, Sept 13.-The flood of
the Rio Grande is sweeping the valley
below here today. Great damage has
been done. The river is up twenty-one
feet at Laredo and is still rising. Many
thousands of acres of irrigated farms
are inundated between Laredo and Hi
dalgo, covering a distance of 200 miles.
The towns of Ignacio, Roma and
other smaller settlements on both sides
of the river are said to be inundated
and many houses are washed away.
Parts of tie towns of Carrie and Rio
Grande City are under water. 1t is
feared that many lives have been lost.

medical authority has recently ut.
tered a warning against the habit Of
sitting with one knee crossed over the
other-a pose which is nowadays al-
most as common among women as
among men. This apparently harmless
habit, it seems. Is likely to cause sci

ascending paralysis. cramps, varicose
veins and other evils The reason Is
simple: The back of the knee. II Is
explained as well as the front Of the
elbow and wrist. the groin and the
armplt. contains nerves and blood
vessels which are less adequately
protected than in other parts Of
the body. The space behind the
knee contains two large nerves,
a large artery. and numerous veins
and Emphatic glands. 1t is the pres

which Ia apt to give rise TO the various

was then selling ut $75 share.
