TRANSFORM DOES
 MUCH DAMAGE Streets Like Rivers and Stores in Downtown Dis
 tricts Were Flooded.
HOUSES UNDER WATER
In Lake Bed-Warehouse of Hardin Furniture Company Collapsed
 Other Damage

What old residents say was the hardest rainfall ever recorded in this city was that which fell for several hours here yesterday afternoon and Which seemed to be general throurh- out this section of the state. The ralnstorm was at times aecompanied by hard wind, but it was not of Sufficient force to do great damage to property. Many downtown stores sustained damage from water, which came through the roofs of buildings and ran into their stores from the street. The roof and front wall of the warehouse of the o. H. Hardin Furniture Company, on Walnut street, between Second and Third avenues, collapsed and the firm was damaged to the extent of about s2 GOO. The building was filled with furniture, car bets and mattings and the building Was also owned by it. The roof gave way from the weight of four feet of water, which accumulated on the roof when the water drains proved insuf- ficient to carry it off.
 In the downtown districts the streets resembled small rivers and in many of the residence districts they were impossible for some hours. Many of the Main street stores were flood ed with surplus water, which ran over the sidewalks into the buildings, and in no few of them displays had to be removed from windows to pre- vent damage. In many yards over the city hundreds of chickens were drowned and at the plant of the Saw West Sixth avenue, numbers of valu- able logs were carried away and de- rosited in various avenue and streets in the western part of the city.
 Lake Bed Flooded.
 Fully one hundred small cottages, many of them occupied by negroes, were partially under water in the lake bed last night and at some places the stream in the old lake bed was more than 100 feet wide. The cur rent was strong enough in some parts of the city to move small houses from their foundations.
 While the downtown street cross ings were under several feet of wat CT yesterday afternoon a negro nan did a Gland office" business carrying pedestrians on his back to the oppos- ite crossings at Third avenue and Main street. The man made many trips for men and boys and charged each of them 10 cents for Stoting 'em'' across.
 On East Second avenue several fine shade trees were blown down. In the suburbs the streets were impassl- ble up to a late hour last night and at various corners nearer the bus1- ness district men and boys waded the streets and aided in clearing ditches that the water might drain off. The city carriage lines did big business when the stores closed and others, who could not obtain public r1gs' pressed delivery wagons into service

INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods Of Prevention Of
tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods of prevention Of
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. of the public school
children of the United States, accord
Ing to bulletin of the National Asso.
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas, Tex, Richmond,
Va, Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Detroit,
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw, Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis. In three states and one territory,
Michigan, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of pre-
vention of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
Quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur.
pose. In New Jersey and West Vir.
gfnia wall cards giving instruction
are hung in every schoolroom and the
attention of all children is called to
them.
