The Worst is over.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 1.-THE
worst was believed to be over today
in eastern Arizona's flooded district
where torrents from melting SHOWS
combined with the burrowing goph-
ers weakened the sixty foot earthen
irrigation dam at Lyman and small
err reservoir above Woodruff. Five
Mexicans and three American chill
dren make up the total loss OF lives,
so far as known. To quick warnings
by telephones is attributed the saw
ing Of many families in the path OF
the floods. Nearly a million dollars
damage was done to property and
even more loss may result to farmers
who are now without their irrigation
water supply. Holbrook, Woodruff
and st. Johns are partly under wa
| ter today.

Why CHILLY WEATHER
BRINGS RHEU MATIsM
Says skin pores are closed and uric
acid remains In
!. blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter Of age,
sex, color or rank. II not the most
dangerous human Affections 1t Is one
Of the most painful. Those subject to
rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid
any undue exposure. and above all,
drink lots Of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric
acid which Is generated in the bow
els and absorbed in the blood. Il is
the function OF the kidneys to filter
this acid from the blood and cast it
out in the urine; the pores OF the
skin are also means Of freeing the
blood Of this impurity. In damp and
chilly. cold weather the skin pores
are closed, thus forcing the kidneys
to do double work. they become
weak and sluggish and fail to elimin-
ate this uric acid which keeps ac-
cumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy abour four
ounces Of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in glass Of water. and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
Of these impurities.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, Harmless
and Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with
lithia and Is used with excellent re-
suits by thousands of folks who are
subject to rheumatism. Here you
have a pleasant effervescent lithia-
water drink which overcomes uric
acid and is beneficial to your kidneys

CANAL RECEIPTS.

It is a gratifying statement which is made to the effect that the Panama canal receipts have begun to show an increase over the operating expendi- lures. The canal has gone through it's first year under heavier expenses than are likely to characterize it in the future. It was to be expected from the unstable condition of the sides of the waterway through the Gaillard cut. and even though 1t was because there was a let up in the dredging operations at that point that the past month or two has been able to show a profit, it indicates that when normal conditions again return to shipping circles that 1t is going to prove all that was expected of it,
 It is to be understood however that the interest on the investment is not included in the expenditures for op- erations but with 8, decrease in the monthly cost of operation and an in- crease in the amount of business done a far different financial statement will be possible. To have expected that it would have shown a profit the first year over and above operating and interest charges was out of the ques- ton. It has nevertheless disclosed through the statements made a stead fly increasing business and with the plans which are underway for more lines to handle commerce which is de- veloping and with the resumption of business by foreign countries a far different condition will be shown. It will be some time before a proper idea can be gained of the canal as a money making proposition.

Summer Suggestions
 For Baby's Mother
Seaso,1db1e Aduice or the Health of Children in
 Hot Weather

No one requires as much food in Summer as in Winter. Do not over feed children during the hot weather Serve only the lighter and more easily digested foods, and make sure the bowels keep normally active.
 Most of the troubles to which chil- dren seem particularly susceptible in Summer have their origin in a con- stipated condition. The first care of the mother should be to see that the children are regular. At the first sign of a disposition to neglect this important function a mild laxative should be administered promptly. Cathartics and purgatives should never be given to children as they are harsh and violent in their action and tend to upset the entire system. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of pr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, is now very generally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble and is especially adapted for children. being pleasant to the taste, m1ld. and gentle in action and free
