Ekaterinodar, Russia.-More than
1000 persons persisted Saturday in
the inundation of the towns of Sta
nitza and Achtyrska by tidal wave
from the Sea of Azoy. The wave
struck the towns during a violent hur,
ricane which swept the province of
Kuban.
More than $50 persons also were
drowned In floods In Yazenkaja.
A dam collapsed in the town OF
Temryuk, situated on the Taman pen
insula ninety-eight miles northwest
of this city, flooding the greater part
OF the city and drowning many per.
sons. The sea washed away $50
buildings in Achtyrskaja.
Temryuk is historic town, with a
population of 10000. 1t once was the
seat of the Turkish fortress Adass.
The province of Kuban, in which
the stricken towns are located, is in
southern Russia and has coast lines
on both the Black sea and the Sea OF
Azov. The population of the province
aggregates about 100000 persons, OF
whom two-fifths are Cossacks. The
country is extremely fertile and ex.

Eats Freely But
Has No Dyspepsia
A Little Pepsin In a Mild Las0-
roe Promptly Corrected
a Bad Indigestion.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures OF dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate. care should be taken In the
matter of diet. Eating slowly. masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
short walk after the heavy meal OF
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided,
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties. and there is none better than Dr..
CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form a combination for the
relief of dyspepsia or indigestion that
is unsurpassed.
It's action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so
that they can again do their work nat
urally without outside aid, and when
that happy moment comes all medi-
cine can be dispensed with. 1t is the
best remedy obtainable for any dis
order of the stomach, liver and bow
els, for dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness, headaches, drowsiness after eat
ing, gas on the stomach, etc. Thou

Temptation Forms Character.

No man knows how good or how
bad he is until he Is sorely tried. It
is the fire that develops the beauty.
The gun, the bridge. the ship-these
are all put to the test, not otherwise
is it with man. Temptation lends
strength to the soul that resists. and
takes power from the soul that yields.
Every time we gain victory we add
to the sum total of our manhood.
Character comes by temptation. 1t is
the secret of virtue. Temptation
takes innocence and turns it into vir-
tue. Virtue is innocence under fire.

The Terrible Steamship Disaster

The appalling loss of life by the sinking of the steamship Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrence river has startled the world. In 1912 occurred the Titanic disaster in which 1900 per sons perished. That was the most terrible record in the history of ship wrecks. In this latest disaster more than 900 lives were lost, which causes it to rank third or fourth in point of loss of life in marine catastrophes.
 The British government and the United States government both made searching investigations into the Titanic disaster with view of fixing the blame and safeguarding life on the sea. If anything was calculated to make the officers and inspectors of great steamers more careful it was the fate of the Titanic.
 In the St. Lawrence river disaster blame doubtless attaches somewhere. According to the latest report the Empress of Ireland was lying to, waiting for the fog to lift, when the Danish collier crashed bow on. There should be an early probe.
 Senator Burton, one of the Ameri- can delegates to the London safety-at- sea convention, possibly located the cause when he said: "The hull of the Empress of Ireland must have been mere shell for the ship to have gone down in ten minutes" The senator further expressed the opinion that If the new safety treaty had been in ef- feet the hulls' classification clause probably would have compelled the owners of the Empress to have recon structed her." It is hoped that no further time will be lost in consum- mating the treaty. It is still before the Senate foreign relations sub committee.
 The heart of America is stirred and the sympathy of all our people goes out to those who are bereft. If a relief fund is needed, and it probably will be, the people of the United States will contribute generously.
