In the Flood
Former East Jordan People
Suffer Heavy Losses.

Among the flood sufferers In the
Snohomsh valley, Washington. were
several former East Jordan residents,
among them being |. W. Bartlett,
Mortimer Hurlburt, M. II. Tompson
and their families. They were all
located on Ebery Island which is sur
rounded by dikes-these broke and
flooded the island.
Under date OF Nov. 26;h. Mrs. V.
G. Sadler, formerly Miss Laura
Bartlett, writes her brother, Ira ID. Of
this city an account OF the disaster.
Be.ow are extracts from the letter:
''We thought we would 60 up as a
surprise To them for couple OF days
as everyone was SO anxious 10 see Lois
after her awful sickness. We found
them staying up town as their place
had been flooded with IA IT Of water.
They got out OF the upstairs windows
in boats. Everything they had
with the exception of few things
were covered with water. The piano
aud all. None of them have any
clothes 10 speak OF. Pa didn't even
save his coat. The pictures and ali
are ruined, practically everything. 1t
came at O'clock Sunday morning
last, and came in such hurry that il
was almost impossible TO do anything.
In ten minutes there was so much water
that they had to hike up stairs Tor
safety. Really Ira, it is terrible and
the worst thing that could happen.
Everybody SO blue. They lost all their
chickens but about 25 that happened
To fly on top Of the hay. They waded
in water TO their waists and some OF
them To their necks and ma just out
OF bed with the fever, aud is now so
stiff she can hardly walk. Pa is also
almost unable to navigate. Ira. you
boys not being here cannot imagine
the state the folks are in. No money
no nothing. The house is too wet for
MA or any of them 10 move back itto
now and prehaps get another freshet.
\ 4 Ma had an awful time, was in
bed six weeks and had a pretty hard
fight for life. She looks pretty thin
and weak but hope she gets along al
right now. Pa don't seem To be him
self at all, and hasn't since LOIS vas
sick. That just about done him up.
He was down watching the dikes with
Two other men aud when IL broke he
ran as hard as he could To get homie To
tell the rest as they were in bee
asleep and was afraid they would get
drowned He said in Two minutes
more he would have been drowned, as
the water gained on him SO fast. The
other two men climbed trees and were
picked up the next day with boats
n \ Write pa at Everett, box 2O5,
also babe, poor kid goes to school
about naked, not even a hat, but she
duesn't do much kicking. Aunt Phil
lie lost her COW and chickens.
The barn, little houses and coops
hoated away. Everybody got about
the same, but think pa got it little
the worse.

the nerves and muscles of the bowels.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood ia the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
800 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symp toms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism govt, grave disorders
of the sight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, ETC.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Mrs $. B. Newman, Lancaster,
Wis, says: About TWO years ago
I contracted kidney trouble and
suffered intensely from backaches and
pains through my kidneys. Headaches
