until today, it was difficult
to decide what constituted
an effective safeguard

of the confusion resulting
from conflicting theories as
to what is correct mouth

To put an end TO such a
condition, E. r. Squibb &

FLOOD WATERS
STILL HIGH IN
MILlGAN, FLA,
Railroad Tracks and Highways
Badly Damaged-Relief
Being Sent

Pensacola, Fla, April 26.-(AP)-
Flood water still stands from three
to five feet deep at Miligan, Fla,
and there are grave doubts whether
it will be possible for the Louisville
and Nashville to operate trains
through that section for another
week.
The railroad company. however
has three work trains standing by
with large gangs Of men ready to
start rehabilitation work just rs
soon as possible.
The state highway which passes
through the towns of Miligan and
Crestview, SO miles from here, was
reported damaged heavily and it will
entail the expenditure Of thousands
of dollars to put the roadway in
safe and passable condition.
Old inhabitants say the water is
higher than it has been for 80 years.
Church societies in Pensacola are
collecting wearing apparel to be sent
to the stricken area.
