HEALTH
is the
Most Important

In buying food-products, several things
are to be thought Of e., Economy,
Results, Easy Handling, Reliability, but
the most important is Health.
Health means everything. In buying
clothes, shoes, hats, furniture, etc., if the
buyer is deceived and gets an imitation
the only harm is loss of money. In buy
ing food-products, if limitations are sup
piled, there is not only loss Of Money,
but perhaps an injury to health which
is beyond price.
Remember these facts svhen buying baking posuder

Failure Of Attempt to Bottle Port Ar.
thur Arouses Enthusiasm.
st. Petersburg, March 28.-The news
of the repulse of Vice Admiral Togo's
second attempt to block Port Arthur
created much rejoicing in the Russian
capital and mons all classes the gal
lantry of the Stilni and her commander
is the subject Of high praise, but above
all the moral effect of Vice Admiral
Makaroff's willingness to engage the
enemy, showing that he considers him
self strong enough to fight, produced
a splendid impression.
In high official circles this new eff
fort to bottle up the Russian fleet is
looked upon as. meaning only one
thing, namely, that the Japanese are
preparing for a heavy landing Of
troops in the Gulf of Liaotung, either
at Newchwang or on the west coast
of the Manchuria neutral zone, to eff
feet which in safety the immobility
Of Vice Admiral Makarof's fleet is
absolutely essential while the trans
ports are being conveyed around the
attempt had succeeded it would have
required several days at least to blow
up the steamers and clear away the
wreckage, during which time the Japa-
nese would be assured of noninter-
ference in the carrying out of their
purposes.
The failure of the Japanese plan
may seriously hamper their operations,
as the ice in the Lao river is going
out and when the river Is free its
mouth can be easily mined.

FLOOD SITUATION in MICHIGAN

IMPROVEMENT.
ENORMOUS PROPERTY LOSS

DAMAGE is PLACED At TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.

Detroit, March 28.-About the best
that car be said of the flood situation
In Michigan is that at many Of the
affected points conditions are no
worse than they were Saturday. This
is not true, however, of Bay City and
Saginaw. The neighborhood Of these
two cities Sunday s%upplanted Grand
Rapids and the Grand river as the CEN
ter of greatest danger. The cold spell
Sunday and Saturday acted as a check
or the food, but a rise in temperature
indicated for today makes the outlook
anything but promising.
At South Bay City the water has
risen beyond all records for twenty
five years, Fortieth street being among
the thoroughfares that are flooded.
At Lansing, Battle Creek and other
affected points, the situation is com
paratively unchanged, though the
Grand Trunk succeeded in getting one
train through Battle Creek Sunday.

Rise Steadily.

And the White River Continues Co
Rise Steadily.
Indianapolis, March 28.-White river
continued to rise throughout the day
until all former high water marks had
been passed. At 9 O'Clock last night
the water was six inches above the
highest record, and was still rising.
Realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation, the city officials late Sunday
decided to appeal to the national
guard for protection. Worn out with
the exertion of the past three days and
suffering from exposure and loss of
sleep, the city policemen and fremen
were unable no longer to keep at
their work. Two companies of the
national guard were Immediately or
dered to report for police duty under
command of Major Fonde.
The terrors Of the flood were great
~ increased by the suspension of the
powerhouse of the Indianapolis Trac-
ton and Terminal company. Water
flooded the engine rooms, and not a
car moved after 5 o'clock.
Hundreds Of families living in the
lowlands have had to abandon their
homes. Many houses were swept
down stream and dashed to pieces
against the. stone bridges. It was
generally thought late Saturday night
that the greatest danger had been
passed, but the situation is now much
more alarming.
