FLOODS IN BUFFALO.
Worst Condition of Affairs in Many
Years.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BUFFALO, n. Y. February 13.-The
worst food In years prevails at South
Buffalo today. Thousands of acres of
buried under the water and hundreds Of
citizens are being taken to dry places in
-owbOats which are rowed along the
residence streets. There is much suffer
ing and the rain of the past few days
continues. Such residents as cannot
leave their homes because they have no
other refuge are trying to keep a room or
two warm with lamps and oil stoves. All
furnace fires in the flooded district were
put out early last night. the cellars. OF
course being flooded with water. 1t is
believed that much sickness will follow
the flood. particularly among the small
children by reason of the exposure to
which they have been subjected and the
lack of fires.
Forced to Use Dynamite.
The flood is due to several causes. The
snowfall is Buffalo week ago was
enormous. Then came intensely cold
weather which formed thick ice In
Buffalo river. There has been mild
weather with much rain the past few
DAYS in Buffalo and in the country along
the upper reaches of Buffalo river.
All this combined to produce the flood.
The ice in the river became jammed and
formed a natural dam. Efforts are now
hoip do <it ,nlo fn hrna L tIa
dam with dynamite. but as yet this work
has had no perceptible influence on the
flood.
Certain portions of north Buffalo along
also flooded. In some places the water
in this stream has risen fourteen feet
and remains practically stationary. Thou
sands of manufacturing plants through
out the south and north Buffalo districts
have been obliged to shut down and un-
told damage is being done by the waters.
Snow Plows Were Stalled.
Pavements are being torn up, fences
swept away and sidewalks displaced.
Everything that could noat and that
was not anchored has been swept away.
The food conditions began to develop
last evening. and by midnight all trolley
traffic throughout the south Buffalo food
ed district was at a standstill
Efforts were made to run giant snow
plows through the district but even
these were put out of commission before
morning.
So far there have been no casualties.
Some live stock has been destroyed and
a few outhouses and barns have been
torn away, but the dwelling houses will
be able to Withstand the food.
Brief dispatches from various parts OF
western New York are to the effect that
similar flood conditions prevail there also,
particularly in certain parts of the Gene
see valley.

Starvation seems a strange remedy for any dis ease. Yet starvation by rigorous diet, was once generally resorted in of indigestion or other stomach trouble. Even yet, 1t is sometimes tried. Such remedy is worse than useless. Every day of life consumes a portion of the tissue of the human body The food eat serves to repair this waste, and you can't build up the system by withholding material for the purpose.
 If the stomach is in such condition, that 1t can not furnish it, the task must be performed without the stomach's assistance. Kodol Is the only pre- paration which accomplishes this. There are others which act on certain kinds of food, but Kodol Is the only one, which digests them all, as the stomach digests them.
 Man is SO constituted that he needs 8 variety of food; to reduce the variety, always produces bad results
 In ninety-nine cases in hundred indigestion is dne to lack of some of the clements, which con titute the natural digestive juices, usually to the absence of hydrochloric acid for the stomach
 It is by the action of these juices, that food Is reduced to form in which 1t can be transformed into living tissue. With any of them lacking, 1t is easy to see that the process of digestion cannot be perfectly performed
 With the single exception of Kodol, all prePara. tions for the relief of Indigestion lack certain oi these elements. Consequently, they cannot digest all classes of food.
 Kodol contains them alL It will digest any thing that the healthy stomach can digest It Is Natures own cura-
