writes the Manufacturers Record:
Il believe the time has come when
more liberal policy can be demand.
ed of Congress In its treatment of the
Mississippi river. with the reasonable
expectation of such demands being
complied with. United effort, of
course, of the part of all interested
will be necessary"
The extent of this years disaster
was sketched last week In a speech In
the Senate by Senator Percy as fol-
lows:
For the first time since 1874 the
upper Mississippi. the Ohio and the
Mississippi came out in conjoint flood.
The course of the river has been that
the Ohio and the upper Mississippi ran
off their foods before being Joined by
the Missouri. but with these three riv.
ers coming out at food stage the water
crept higher and higher until security
was changed to dismay and discour-
agement, and as, every record of high
water one after the other was broken.
the levees for 1000 miles were manned
by anxious workers who strove to
raise these frail barriers high enough
to prevent inundation; they fought
desperately to save their homes, their
very lives.
Congress helped with an emergency
appropriation of $650,000. The various
Ievee boards, by anticipating their rev.
enues, by issuing certificates of in
debtedness. by issuing bonds, by bank
rupting their treasures, contributed
100000 to the emergency fight with
In few weeks. Then came the crew.
asses, and the great river poured it's
yellow torrent over fertile fields, inun-
dated villages, swept away homes,
took everywhere its toll of human life;
for the records show that many men
and women In the open fields and in
the lonesome woods struggled, grasped.
gurgled, and died In the embrace Of
the yellow flood
Eight railroad systems were para.
lysed, millions of dollars worth of
destroyed, and at last, in
stead of fertile fields there is a yellow
lake 10000 square miles in area, great
Ell in area than the states of Rhode
Island, Delaware and Connecticut ad-
ded together-as great as the states
OF Rhode Island, Delaware and New
Jersey section of the country produc-
ing in cotton alone more than $50,OO0,-
coo worth annually. The damage.
without reference to the crops of this
year, it is estimated, will reach $50
100000 The cotton crop alone of this
year in the submerged area which
cannot now be made, will add $G0,0O0,-
900 to that sum. In dollars and cents
this flood has cost an amount almost
twice as much as it would take to
build complete levee system from
Cairo to the Gulf on both sides of the
river, up to the Government standard
and requirement, il there was not
single foot of levee in existence. On
his lake, covering that vast area, is
born the wreckage of homes and the |
saving of years. and today 10000

New Standard Of Efficiency.

Cornelius Roach of Carthage
has just announced his candidacy
for denomination to the office
which he has filled so satisfac-
torily the last four years. The
consenus of opinion is that Mr..
Roach will have very little Op-
position on election day. The
administration of the office of
Secretary of State by Mr..
Roach has set a new standard for
efficiency in that department of
Missouri government. Coupled
with his official record is the
fact that there is not a man in
the State with a wider acquain-
lance, and in almost every I'M
stance mountaineering spells
friendship. His denomination
and reelection will be matters of
history just as soon as the cal
can arrive at those points.

Mild, GENTLE LAXATIVE

So many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the Importance
Of keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
of coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements. If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take
