Town IS UNDER WAFER
white River Flows Through Lsses
Breaks At Clarendon and En1ulfs
the City Under Water.

Little Rock. Ark.-All day long on
Feb. s the 600 or 700 men who remain
In Arkansas City have toiled TO
strengthen the leyees against the fast
rising waters Of the Mississippi river.
When night came they are more hope
full that the levee will hold and that
the town will be saved. The narrow
strip OF leyee Is the only land in sight
there. On one side is the great river.
swollen until its surface Is Is feet
above the level Of the town. On the
other side Of the levee is a great lake
formed by flood waters that have
poured down from the north through
half dozen breaks in the Arkansas
river levees. This lake is nearly 40
miles long and 20 miles wide. From It
only the upper stories of buildings In
Arkansas City protrude. At the levee
are three steamboats, ready to carry
the puucky fighters 10 safety should
they lose their battle with the flood.
They are living in the second stories OF
their homes and In box cars on the
levee. The gauge at Arkansas City
on Feb. was 55.7 feet.
The great lake that extends from
the Arkansas river southwark with
the Mississippi river levees as its
eastern bank has engulfed score OF
town in Southeastern Arkansas. At
Lake Village the flood water has been
rising fast. At Gaines Landing, four
miles north of Lake Village, 400 per-
sons are on the levee without shelter.
The residents OF Lake Village voyaged
in boats to the courthouse, where they
planned to send q fleet OF rowboats
to Gaines Landing to bring the refu-
gees into the already overcrowded
Lake Village.
In Clarendon. on the White river,
where the levee broke. water was six
feet deep in the highest portions OF
the town. The river had attained a
stage OF 37.4 and still was rising. The
worst conditions are caused by over
crowding and as fast as possible the
residents are being conveyed to dry
land In motor boats.
Supplies are plentiful and the stu
alton is not serious.
The list OF known dead was increas-
ed to II by the drowning Of boy on
the main street OF Arkansas City and
the discovery near Augusta Of the
body of Christy Taylor, a young man.
who had set out in motor boat to
rescue cattle from the White river
flood.

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down In
Georgia went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that FIRST
led me to advocate Grape-Nuta food;
and l also know from having pre-
scribed II to convaiescents and other
weak patients that this food is won
derful rebuilder and restorer Of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. II
improves the digestion and patients
gain. iust as l did in strength and
weight very rapidly.
4 was in such q low state that
I'hadtto give up my work entirely and
90 to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact !
was not quite as well as when left
home. Ny food did not sustain me
and It became plain that l must
change.
Il began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks could walk mile. and in
I'VE weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as wen and
strong IS I ever did in my life.
AS physician who seeks to help
all sufferers | consider It a duty to
make these facts public"
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts when
the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work wonders.

SEVEN DEAD IN ARKANSAS
Crest Of Overlooking Rivers Brings
Destruction and pesth-Msny Are
Rescued From Danger

Little Rock.5Seven lives have been
lost and hundreds Of thousands OF dol
lars damage done by the floods devas
tating Arkansas up to Feb. 3. Hun
dreds Of families are homeless and II
is expected that the loss and suffering
will be increased.
Tom Perguis, a farmer, near New
man. was drowned near Newman
when he attempted to steer q skin
through a swift current. Another white
man was founl dead near Newman. u
is presumed he had been exhausted by
the cold and drowned. He has NOT
been identified.
A negro family, father, mother and
child were drowned near Mellwood.
Two other deaths had been reported
prviously.
The crest Of the Arkansas river
flood, now well down the river. Is caus.
ing new destruction and suffering and
death In the counties Of Southeastern
Arkansas. Water pouring through a
half dozen breaks in the levees Is
flooding towns in Lincoln and Desha
counties. These towns are filled with
persons who have fed from their
homes in the lowlands. and much SUI.
fering will result unless aid is sent
speedily.
Fifty persons. many Of them women
and children. who had spent twenty
four hours marooned in store at
Gould. Desha county, rescued them
selves when an attempt to go to
their rescue failed. A motor launch,
which had been sent on specitl train
from Pine Bluff. was rendered useless
by the engine freezing. The telegraph
operator in the railroad station at
Gould stuck to his post, and when he
was informed that no help could come
from the outside for another day at
least. the men in the store built boat
from shelves torn from the store. This
crude boat made several trips, convey
ing all the marooned persons to high
ground in safety, although the trips
were perilous in the swift current OF
the flood waters.
The crest OF the White river food
has reached the lower course Of the
river and has driven many residents
OF the lowlands from their homes. but
no widespread damage is reported. The
flood in Newport is slowly subsiding
and It is reported that there is no real
distress there.
Between 300 and $50 negro convicts
marooned on broken levee in front
of the state convict farm at Columbus
have been rescued.
