Flood waters in the Salt River reached their crest at the Center street bridge at noon yesterday, remained at this high mark of S.S feet for about eight hours and then gradually began to fall. The big swell was due to flood waters pouring down from the Verde river.
 All during yesterday and last night the roar of the water could be plainly heard in the southern part of Phoenix and in quiet sections all over the entire city. It was the highest water recorded since the flood of 1916, when the gauge at Center street reached 17 feet No damage was reported at any of the bridges along the course of the Salt river yesterday or last night.
 The Verde river was reported by the government as very high, reaching 25 feet at Fossil creek Friday. This swell was the cause of the big water at Phoenix yesterday and last night. The water in the Verde came near the high water mark of 1916. The government reports the Agua Fria and the Has, sayampa rivers as receding. The same condition is reported for New River. with the ford near Glendale passable to strong vehicles by ten o'clock yester- day morning.
 The Gila river was up five feet at Florence, in the channel, and up three feet at Kelvin gauge. The weather bu- reau forecasts that this water will reach Yuma sometime Monday night.
 Great interest is taken in this ap- preaching swell by people of the Yuma region because of the probability of it breaking irrigation dams there. The weather bureau reports that United States army engineers are stationed at the diversion dam below Yuma where water is taken for the irrigation of the Imperial valley, these engineers ready to dynamite this dam should the Gila flood waters become too menacing

\ remark in front of the Journals
bulletin board should be answered.
Booth Harrington in an article for
the National Security League has
answered it. as follows:
Question: Who profit financially by
the war?
Answer: Workmen whose wages arc
advance in the cost of living. No others
profit financially, except a few crooked
men whom the law is already overtak-
ing; and these same men made crooked
profits before the war as we'll as since it
began
Question: But aren't the Rich Men
making more money now than they
were before the war began?
Answer: Before the war, bankers and
fnanciers made profits on loans to the
Allies and on purchases for the Allies.
The L. S. government makes these
loans and purchases now. The govern
ment fixes the price of munitions and
heavily taxes the munitions and heavily
taxes the munition makers. The gov
eminent has virtually put all great man.
utacturers on salary. giving many of
them one dollar a year. The govern
ment has fixed the price of necessities,
reducing them so that profiteering is
niesdi anu mas become almost lmposSl-
BILE. The prices of securities have
dropped and the railroads have been
Communicated by the government. The
railroad presidents have been removed
without pay.
Question: But anyhow, doesn't Mr..
Rockefeller profit by the war?
Answer Yes; If we win the war he
will not have to obey the Kaiser. That
IS profit. But financially his only pos
sioie cnpoyment must 1rone from a
sense Of duty and chee ence rendered.

Gas In The Stomach
Is Dangerous
Recommends Daily Use Of Magnets
to Overcome Trouble. Caused
by Fermentlng Food and
Acid Indigestion

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-
panied by that full, bloated- feeling after
eating are almost certain evidence of
the presence of excessive hydrochloric
acid in the stomach, creating so-calle
acid Indigestion
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
too much acid irritates the delicate lin
ing OF .the stomach, often leading TO
gastritis accompanied by serious stom-
ach ulcers. Food ferments and sours,
creating the distressing gas which dis
tends the stomach and hampers the
normal functions Of the vital internal
organs, often affecting the heart.
1t is the worst of folly to neglect such
a serious condition or to treat with or
binary digestive aids which have no
neutraliZing effect on the stomach acids
Instead get from any druggist a few
ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take
a teaSpoonful in a quarter glass of
water right after eating. This will drive
the gas, wind and bloat right out Of the
body, sweeten the stomach. neutralize
the excess acid and prevent its forma-
ton and there is no sourness or pain.

less to the stomach. inexpensive 70 take
and the best form of magnesia for stom-
ach purposes. 1t is used by thousands
of people who enjoy their meals with
no more fear of Indigestion Adv.
