flooded districts This movement
was started even before the crisis
had been reached. Other cities also
have started similar movements and
the factories and industries in the
flooded sections doubtless have oe7n
besieged with inquiries from COM
mercial organizations.
1t was only recently that a local
lumber company, which has It's
principal office in Cairo and its mills
and yards three miles distant, re-
ceived a letter from the Commercial
Club of Metropolis, ILL.,, asking per
mission to show officials OF the con-
Germ what it had to offer in the way
OF sites. The letter follows:
Gentlemen
The report has come TO US
that you are planning TO re-
move your plant from Cairo, Ill,
We write to ask YOU II this
is true, and If 1t is true Wa re-
spectfully ask that we may have
an opportunity 10 present what
we have ia the way of loca
ti0n for your consideration.
Respectfully, etc.
The concern that received this
letter has no intention OF removing
from Cairo. II has no plant here to
remove. and this indicates that the
Commercial Club Of Metropolis has
sent out a blanket letter to all con
Germs in the flooded districts.
The factories in the Drainage Dis
trict will not remove to other parts,
If Cairo will give them any assur
ance that the leyees will be recon
structed in such manner as to pro-
tect the district from future floods,
and this will be done In years TO
come the Drainage District will be as
seizure as Cairo proper.
Now is the time for Cairo to ad-
vertise. Advertising is just as as
sential as strong leyees, FOR unless
Cairo can tell the world that It's
leYees are safe and always have been
labor under the impressions created
by untruthful newspaper accounts.

Cairo MUST Advertise.

Paducah is going to spend three
thousand dollars In 1912. 1913 and
1914 for advertising purposes. The
general council. at recent meeting.
voted to set aside this sum for the
use Of the Board OF Trade, and the
campaign will be opened at once, ac-
cording to the newspaper publica
tions Of that city.
Is it not time for Cairo to have
an awakening of this sort? The city
has been maligned by the press Of
the nation scores of times during the
last few weeks, and as the result,
half Of the country Is laboring under
the delusion that the city Is com
pletely submerged; that its wonder
ful system of levees has crumbled
away, and that 1t will never recover
from the shock.
Only few of the newspapers that
reached the city during the flood
published truthful accounts of con-
ditions. Even before the Drainage
District was in any danger, the Chi
cago Tribune announced to its thou
sands of readers that the levees at
Cairo had been swept away. Even
after the rivers had started to re-
cede, newspaper published in CALI
fornia. announced In immense type
that Cairo was completely mum
dated
Something must be done at once
to overcome the effects of the many
nntruthful reports published by the
out-of-town newspapers. The i'm
preston created by the stories of
the food will last until Cairo can de-.
wise some means of telling the truth
to the world. The fact that Cairo's
streets were dusty while thousands
of miles of land nearby were COM
pletely submerged. Is worth adver-
Using.
Paducah and other cities hope to
take advantage Of the untruthrul
reports published concerning Cairo
and the Drainage District. Paducah
already has started movement to
obtain for that city factories In the

Pump It Out.

Paducah is having considerable
trouble in dispensing with stagnan
backwater, which filled the low por
tons of the city during the flood
according to the News-Democrat
is an editorial clipped
from Wednesdays issue of the pub
lication:
In the lower portions of town
where backwater has run into
the sewers and in some places
into the cutters life is intoler-
able for the citizens. On Third
street, on Second street and on
Jefferson street in those parts
OF town over where the river
came a great quantity of de-
composing vegetable matter was
left by the water, and fish have
been caught in some manner in
the sewers and the odor result
ing from their decay pollutes
the atmosphere for block
around.
In the bottoms the water has
been left in pools and little
ponds. The hot sun of the past
day or so has caused this water
to become stagnant and very
much the same condition pre-
walls as on the streets along the
river front.
Such conditions as these
should not be allowed to exist
for one moment longer than is
absolutely necessary for the
board of health and street de-
partment to send men and teams
and disinfectants to the spots.
At the session of the general
council last night the first step
was taken in this direction,
and there should be the hearth
est cooperation displayed be-
tween every city department in
order that the health as well as
the property Of citizens should
be preserved.
Cairo's excellent pumping systef
has taken care of sipe and bach
water in the down town district, an
as soon as certain improvements ar
made on the drains in the up tow
district, the water soon will be re
moved from that section of the city
When the down town pump wa
shut down, all OF the low places in
mediately filled with water, bu
when the vast machine was starte
again, the water disappeared in
manner that was almost startling
Would it not be wise for Paducah {

USING TAPIocA.

T<APIOCA ought to be more popu-
lar, for 1t is nourishing food
and IL cooked right is quite as
palatable as gelatin.
Like gelatin. tapioca may be ac-
ceptably combined with fruits and
other foods.
Tapioca is largely composed of
starch, and In cooking 1t see that the
starch is thoroughly swollen.
There are three kinds Of tapioca-
fake, pearl and granule. The fake
and pearl should be soaked before
cooking, while the granule may be
used directly with boiling water.
One fourth of cup Of tapioca TO a
pint OF water is the usual proportion.
Tapioea is an excellent food for in
vahds or those who suffer from indi-

cue work is new; it is stiu imperfec

cue work is new; it is still imperfect and open to improvement. It fre- Quently arouses criticism on the part of those who watch but do not take circumstances this is not to be won dered at. The special breathing appa- ratus of to-day is heavy and cumber- some and the oxygen supply that it carries does not last as long as, 1t should. Nevertheless, progress is be- experience will prove more and more satisfactory and encouraging. Recent experience in this new type of mine rescue work at Bricevi1le and other mine disasters has taught some important lessons. One of these is that there should be at every mine or every group of mines a number of young men trained in the use of mod ern breathing and rescue equipment, who are familiar with the mines in that particular district; also that the men who are trained in this work should be actual miners, men thor oughly acquainted with the mining in health and they should be men who arc not easily excited, but remain cool and thoughtful at the time of great est risk.
 There should be at every mine or group of mines a. sufficiently large number of men equipped with the breathing apparatus who can begin the rescue work in the mine as soon as the disaster occurs, expecting to be reliev- ed CT aided when other rescuers arrive
 'The number of men trained and supplied with modern rescue equip ment should be rapidly and greatly in- creased in every important coal field. Within a few years more it is hoped that this system will be carried for ward to such an extent that in the case of such a disaster as that at Brfceville, and within a few hours af- ter a disaster, there can be assembled from fifty to one hundred men we'll trained and fully equipped with special breathing apparatus. and also fairly familiar with the immediate mining district.
 With a force Of this kind it would be possible within a few hours to reach all the remoter portions of the mine. With the present limited num- Der of trained men in different parts of the country, this is impossible. At no disaster previous to that at Brice- vile have we been able to bring to- gether within a short time as many as a dozen experienced and well equip ped men, For short time at Brice- vile there were as many as twenty men who had some training with hel- mets, but one-half of these were with out actual experience and not one of them was familiar with the mining conditions in that region. A week was therefore required to accomplish re- suits which should have been accom- plished in less than twenty-four hours.
 With a general Improvement of mining conditions and the increased efforts to prevent or limit dust ex- plos1o1s through sprinkling, exhaust steam, stone dust or ashes, or other wise. it is becoming more and more likely that explosions that may occur in spite of such precautions, will be In such cases, the chances of men es- caping through other openings, or liv- ing in the mine after the explosion for several days, by putting up barri- cades in remote parts of the mine, will be greatly increa sed
