alas, alas, the trade fell through. Fin
ally he struck the Jews; He, Moses,
knew they are stubborn and hard to
deal with, but he concluded he would
try them. After the Jews examined
that stuff, well they said "You have
nothing in your book about our faith

several hundred years before Moses.)
How could he know? then, they told
him, how he, Abraham, told that lie
about his wife and about the offering
Of Isaiah, and the Dina story and a
few other stories, such as selling Jo-
seph into slavery, ETC., etc. Well, said
Moses, you can not blame me for that!
How could know! That again, you
do not know that we are the chosen
people. Moses pressed to the wall
agreed to put in everything they said
and the bargain was made.

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad
Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which millions of
men and women taken now and then,
thus avoiding serious kidney and
bladder diseases

got the full sweep. Our bed was
floating around crafty in one end,
our suitcases, shoes, oh everything,
was bobbing around in about three or
four feet of dirty water. Most of our
things were hanging up and didn't get
wet.
We considered ourselves lucky tho
since most of the boys tents in an
other part of the orchard were swept
away and they lost everything they
owned
You can imagine the confusion and
excitement. AS soon as it was pos
sible the boys got out of the trees
where they had been stranded, and
swan or waded over to US and help

our feet las it were) again. Fay and
had to move out and they haven't
gotten all the water out yet. 1t took
us two days of cleaning and carrying
water, clear from the house to get
room clean enough to sleep in. The
mud is almost dried up now and
everything is getting back to normal,
but / never will forget this as long
as | live.
Some of the smaller fruit farms
were washed away entirely, hardly
a tree left, and the house and pack
ing house at Bishops are in ruins.
When we come home we will have
to take roundabout way, thru Col
fax to get to Moscow, as it will be
some months before the boulders and
rubbish can be cleared from the rail
road and a new one built.
We are planning to go over to the
Lakin ranch Monday. Will write
again soon and give you more par

MOSCOW GIRL TELLS
OF WAWAWA| FLOOD
WRITES MOTHER OF DISASTER
THAT OVERLOOK FRUIT OR
CHARDS OF SNAKE RIVER

A Moscow woman has received the
following intensely interesting letter
from her daughter, who with a num-
Der of other Moscow girls, went to
Wawawai to pick and pack fruit. Her
letter, telling of the flood, follows:
Wawawai, Wn.
Dear Mother:
| suppose you have heard all about
the awful cloudburst we had here and
have been wondering why / haven't
written.
Pm not sure you will get this letter
as the tracks are washed out for miles
and miles, but I'll do my best to get
it started
We have been here for almost a
week just waiting for the work to
start again.
When we first came here we slept
in tent but just the day of the
flood we happened to move in one of
the rooms or we would have been
minus all our worldly goods. The
rooms are arranged like those at the
other orchards-a cookhouse for every
four girls and room for every two.
The rooms are calcimined-ours in
light green and since our curtains
are those pink ones our room looks
quite pretty.
The story of the flood is long
drawn out one, but perhaps you would
like to know the particulars. 1t
rained Tuesday so we didn't work,
decided to take bath and go to bed.
l heard an awful rumble but thought
it was a freight train, so kept right
on with my bath. Pretty soon heard
one of the girls say, my God, girls,
it's come" | thought this rather
strenuous language, etc., but kept
right on. 1t never occurred to me that
it was no time to be in my bear skin
jacket. Finally looked out and gee!
/ thought the whole ocean was let
loose. All could see was a roaring,
tearing mass of dirty water making
a bee line in this direction. I could
see tents, mattresses, suit cases, pigs,
etc. being swept along. l looked
frantically out and everybody was
gone. 1t occurred to me to jump into
my coveralls and rushed madly forth
in my bare feet and my hair stream
ing in the breeze. All the kids were
huddled in two-by-four space in the
orchard little way off and l rushed
pell nell and arrived safely. Every
one was frantic and we had mental
pictures OF the water coming closer
and closer and at last sweeping us
away with the rest of the trees and
tents, etc., that were rushing past US.
All we could see in all directions was
water and we sure were scared. /
guess that was the only dry spot for
miles around. Well, it lasted for
about an hour, and little by little our
refuge got larger and we waded back
to our rooms, and such mess as
there was We had an end room and

and full attendance is desired. There
are a number of matters of vital i'm
portance to be taken up. The open
