A GOOD CHANGE. A Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause a lot of trouble in this world. To change Is first aid when person is i'll, particu- larly from stomach and nervous trou- bles. AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. was brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with her.
 She says:
 For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until I was i'll most of the time. About four years ago left off coffee and began using Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but was so re- duced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me.
 Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two princi- pally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength un. til the nervous trouble had disap. peared. I feel that I owe my health to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
 Husband was troubled, for a long time, with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. After he tried Postum for few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared He never went back to coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum CereaI-the original form must be we'll boiled. 15c and 25, packages.
 Instant Postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in cup of hot wa ter, and, with cream and sugar, makel a delicious beverage instantly. 30, and soc tins.
 Both kinds are equally delicious an, cost about the same per cup.
 There's Reason" for Postum.

is very slow on account of shortage of boats.
 With water falling in the big lake in southeastern Arkansas, caused Dy the breaking of Arkansas River levees, and with the Mississippi River levees still holding against the slow ly rising stream, reports from the flooded district of Arkansas were much more optimistic.
 T. B. Gilbert of Arkansas City. chairman of the Tensas Basin Levee Board, issued a statement Tn which he expressed confidence that all Ievees between Helena and Lake Will lage will hold.
 Two linemen who rowed from Nc Gehee to Arkansas City in skiff rescued two negroes who had been AS hours in trees without food. Mai service by boat has been established between Arkansas City and McGehee
 The Mississippi at Arkansas City reached a stage of 56.1 feet and stil was rising. It is believed the levees will hold 57.5 feet.
 Practically all of the residents O. Newport have been able to return tt and clean out their homes and ever n the low section near the negro school building, the water is out } l the first floors.

of the situation. Rises from two sources threaten the safety of Gould, Grady and Dumas, according to Gus Waterman of Dumas, president of the Linwood-AubUrn levee district. The Linwood-Auburn levees have been de- stroyed virtually by the force of the flood.
 A special train from Arkansas City brought a gasoline launch that was rushed to Oak Woods Bayou a little settlement that has been isolated for five days. Grave fears for the safety of the residents there is felt.
 Comparative safety is enjoyed by the residents or Warner, according to a dispatch received here. The water is rising steadily, but it is believed that the land is high enough to pre- vent disaster. Warner is filled with refugees. Plenty of food is in the town, it was said.
 Through train service on the Cot ton Belt Railroad between Little Rocl and St. Louis has been annuled Floods at Illmo, H., were ascribed a, | the reason.
 Ed Baum and his son, Clarence farmers, who lived in the bottoms o the Illinois river near Siloam Springs were forced tc the roof of their hous to escape the rising waters.

mittee, has systematized the work of caring for refugees.
 More than 100 negroes have been taken to the high land two and one half miles east of Clarendon, and placed in a refugee camp. The camp is in charge of Lieut.. l.. w. Amis of Company E, First regiment, Arkansas National Guard, of Little Rock Tents have come from the state arsenal and the camp is patroled by detail of privates from the Little Rock com pany.
 The removal from the city of the negroes has simplifed the relief work. Supplies are carried to the refugee camp in boats.
 The refugees are comfortably sit uated and will not suffer unless the temperature drops. It is probable another camp for white refugees will be established.
 The water is falling rapidly. River men estimate that it will tall more slowly as the crest reaches the flooded district near the mouth of the river and that the water will not be all out of the town for more than two weeks.
 Relief Calls Answered.
 Several responses to the call for outside help came. A draft for $20O was received from the Gazette He- lief Fund. J. s. Mcconnell, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, sent S25 from Little Rock. Brinkley continued to send supplies. The de mand will be less from now on with the removal of many people and an adjustment of business in the town.
 Several merchants secured from the flooded business houses some of then stocks and reopened business III booths upon barges. Their customers came and went in boats. Until il was impossible even for those wnc had money to buy supplies. The open ing of the makeshift stores will di minish somewhat the calls upon the relief committee. The committee IS Investigating every call for assist ance.
 Boats Patrol City. There has been no disorder since the flood A detail of national guards men began to patrol Clarendon 1T boats to prevent possible footing o stores and residences. Deputy sherifff and city officers are assisting.
 It still is practically impossible tt | estimate the flood damage. Sherif Milwee says he considers S1O0,000 { low estimate Mayor Evan estimates the loss at $100,000.
 With the water receding ana re ports that the levees along the Mis- sissippi River would hold, the outlooF in the flooded sections of Chico county is more cheerful. The worl of reconstruction will be begun a soon as possible. There are man houses to be rebuilt thousands o

Norfolk.-Every cottun srll in this section has been washed away by the high water. The Pierce gin, just across the Northfork River, was wash ed away. The Hurst gin, across the river, which was built on stilts, was turned completely over, and the ma- chinery damaged beyond repair. The gin on the Ship place, a few miles above here, was washed off it's site The large residence occupied by Cal Deal, on the big Ship farm, which Is owned by J. w. Williamson, was washed off its foundation.

yards of fences to be built and crops on hundreds of acres to be replanted.
 The problem in Dermott which was not touched by the flood waters, is caring for the sufferers, but this 1s being done as rapidly as possible. Un- til the water recedes no estimate of the losses to sufferers can be made. Until they can again occupy their farms, however, they must be cared for
 All persons living in the flooded dis trict had been warned in sufficient time before the flood, and many left, but in certain sections farmers did not think the water would rise high CT than during 1912, and it was these farmers who were caught by this years rise and suffered the heaviest losses.
 Charles Mason of near Arkansas City, who was reported drowned or lost somewhere in the overflow, is In Dermott. He said that he and his family remained in their house until rescued and brought here. He said that he lost several hundred head ,l hogs and cattle in the flood.
 The flood situation around Brinkley is unchanged. The Rock Island track west is under water for about five miles. All trains from the west have been discontinued, and trains from Memphis are being detoured via Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt at Fair
The Green Forest tribune., 1916-02-18

First, Second and Third streets at Newport practically are clear of Wa ter. The city levees are open, so as to allow the water to flow out of the city as the river falls.
 The Rock Island, by using three cars of rock back of the compress, has closed this gap, but the bed is to be left in order to drain the whole sale district of Newport.
 Great suffering is reported from all parts of the flooded district and much live stock which had been driven to high places is reported dying from starvation.
 With Ideal weather since the rains White river is receding rapidly.
 The Levee Commission, composed of F. R. Suits, Claude Hogue and Maury Stevens, is looking after the situation closely and Harry Morgan is in charge of the opening of the levees.
 As soon as the water is out of Newport the Levee Commission will temporarily repair the city levee by closing all gaps. The drain at Jack son street, which has been defective for a long time, will also be repaired.
 Another case of smallpox was re- ported Dy Dr. L. E. Willis, the pa tient being Jorn R. Loltin Jr, we'll known business man. The house will I,0 y1rbn a been exposed will be vaccinated.
 w. D. Williams, who moved to his home in the country just before the flood, also is reported to be i'll with smallpox.
 Relief to the 1000 flood sufferers 'n the Lower Arkansas River bottoms was sent out from Little Rock. The relief will be handled by local men, who will also act as special represen- tatives o1 the American Red Cross. The use of government boats author ized by the War Department at Ine request ot Senator Joe T. Robinson, will not help much, as the govern ment river boat A. D. Allen is on the w Hll0 IClNtI IlOI dNdlldOiS tN IlIC flooded district and the snagboat Ar, kansas, at Pine Bluff, cannot be used in the swift and treacherous current of the swollen river.
 Rescuing parties working from Du- mas to Star City made more clear the probability that other lives have been lost in addition to the seven al, ready reported. Many negroes are caught in the Oakwood and Choc- taw Bayou bottoms back of Douglas, and will be drowned unless help reaches them, it is reported.
 At Douglas food is low, and SUD- plies to reach there will be impera- tive. Small boats for the rescue worK gre being hastily constructed. Warn ngs issued almost 10 days in advance of the high water were not needed, and many have been caught in the bottom lands back of the river

Loss OF CHIYO
TIES UP BAG
SHIPMENTS

A third CT a million jute bags con-
signed to Honolulu from Hongkong.
where they had been shipped from
Calcutta, awaiting transshipment, will
not reach here for long time yet, be-
cause OF the wreck OF the T. X. X.
turbiner Chiyo Maru, broken apart on
the rocks Of LENA Island, seven or
eight miles south CT HOngkong.
1t was learned today that there are
about $50 bales Of gunnies at Hong
kong which the ChiyO was to have
loaded for shipment to Honolulu. AS
there are 800 bags TO a bale this
means 100000 sacks which are tied
up at the Chinese port until they can
reach here.
The Chiyo was just going into
Hongkong, the last port of her out
ward voyage. when she piled up on
Lena island in a dense fog last Fri
day. Castle & Cookies shipping de-
partment said today she cost approx
imately 100000 to build. At present
war prices she was worth easily $5,-
100000 Now she is not worth any
thing except as junk.
An average Of 1900 tons of freight
have been brought to Honolulu every
voyage by the Chiyo Maru. Now that
this fine ship is wiped off the list To-
cal Chinese and Japanese merchants
will find it increasingly difficult to
obtain freight from the Orient. Con
gestion was bad enough before 1t
will now be acute.
Passenger congestion will also be
much more acute with the Chiyo out
OF the running. The big vessel
brought an average Of 900 to 400 steer
age passengers here from the Orient
nearly every voyage, also many cabin
passengers. Her loss will disorgan-
fze completely the entire T. K. K.
sailing schedule.
