Comfortably Located In Los Angeles.
We are very comfortably domiciled
in furnished bungalow at 1929 West
49th street, in Los Angeles, only one
block from an excellent car line, with
a service every three minutes, so that
we can come and go very easily and
quickly at any time of the day and
night. We are finding our stay very
pleasant one so far and have met a
number of relatives and old time
friends who formerly lived in the East.
Los Angeles is very busy and beau
tiful city, with a population Of about
100000 and aspires to soon pass San
Francisco in a count of heads. The
weather is very delightful at present
not too warm during the day and with
nights and mornings cool but not too
much so. We shall probably remain
here until about the 10th or 18th of
November and then start on the back
trail toward home.

MAY MEAN END OF WORLD
Cardinal Gibbons Sees Scriptures Full

Baltimore, Feb. 1S.-That it looks as
If the Scriptures are being fulfilled and

last night. The prelate made the state

rible, indeed
''Does it not look like the Scrip
lures are being fulfilled a-' Nation
shall rise against nation and there
shall be sorrow throughout the world
which will be a sign that the end is
near!' he was asked.
Yes, it does,' he admitted in re-
ply. "Think for a moment what this
war means, if you can. / cannot When
one life is lost ON board ship, all the
country is startled. When the Titanic
sank with more than 700 of its pas
sengers, the world was horrifed. That
was thing that occurred only once.
Loss of life in great numbers occurs
only once in while. But now, in this
greatest war of the world, thousand.
nay, 10000 lives, are being sacrificed
every hour the war continues.

Stuart's Calcium Waters is this remedy.
The correct and best blood purifier
known to science is-Calcium Sulphide.

CAUSES OF The HIGH WATER
State Supply Commission Issues State
nfent on Conditions Leading Up
to Recent Floods

The State Water Supply Commission
has issued statement Of the causes of
the recent high water and conditions in
that regard as they now exist. 1t says:
"The storm which was centered over
Nevada last Thursday travelled across
the United States in an easterly direc-
tion and centeted itself over the Great
Lakes on Monday, accompanied by a
high temperature causing slight rain
fall over Pennsylvania. The precipita-
tion over the State averaged but little
over one-half inch, yet its effect on
pennsylvania streams, where there was
accumulated snow in the watersheds,
was appreciable, though no food stages
were approached and no warnings were
issued.
cover the western and eastern
parts of the State, where the amount
OF accumulated snow was small, the
streams were slightly affected, while in
the central part, over the Susquehanna
watershed, where there was a consider
able amount of accumulated snow,
which contained a high water equiva-
lent, the streams approached rather
high stages.
On the North Branch of the Sus-
quehanna river stage of 1875 feet
was reached at Wilkes. Barre; at Will
Transport on the West Branch stage
of 1913 feet was reached; at Newport
on the Juniata river there was a
maximum stage of 14.2 feet and at
Harrisburg on the main stream there
was maximum stage of about 13
feet.
During the past six weeks, five
noteworthy freshets have occurred in
the Susquehanna river watershed, which
is an extremely unusual occurrence.
Great advantage has been taken of this
unusual condition by the Water Supply
Commission and many gaging stations
recently established by the Commission
have been rated in few weeks, which
under ordinary conditions would re-
quire many months to obtain the re-
suits. -
