new health measure ordered that all milk, in addition to water, should be boiled before being used.
 All through the night weary res- cue crews piled their boats through the water filled streets of East Hart ford taking men and women from roofs and upper floors of inundated houses. Many had been marooned without food in the cold and rain for more than 20 hours and had to be carried bodily from their perches to the boats.
 Red Cross physicians fought against the threat of disease and believed their stringent emergency measures had, warded off possibility of an epidemic. Emergency relief headquarters herded the homeless into schools, churches, the state armory, the Y. M. c. A., the Amer ican Legion headquarters, and the Red Cross building. Many had been taken into private homes.
 Rescue Difficulties
 Early today the rain that had fallen all night stopped. There was 6 drop in the temperature which added to the suffering of those still marooned. An acute shortage of boats and the weariness of relief workers who had been on duty for 30 hours without rest added to the difficulties of rescue.
 Below Hartford, the 30 mile stretch of river to the sea had spread out miles wide, inundated 10 small communities and partly covered Watertown. The flood crest, the largest the Connecticut has carried in years and which devastated Springfield, Mass, and eight cities and towns in It's course through Vermont and Massachusetts, was ex- pected to pass into the Atlantic Sunday.
 Much of the populous Hartford area, where 100000 live. was under one to nine feet of water. The nine believed dead included John Uritus Hartford, who was hurled into the river at East Hartford and never seen again.

JohnstoWn, Pa, March 2i--(UPJ You stand where Main street be- comes Johnstown's business center. You look over a district where Monday there were throngs of peo- pie, prosperous commerce, parade of automobiles Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday the street and all the streets around 1t were the bed of two merged rivers.
 Today they are morass of stink ing mud, shattered plate glass that slices boots and shoes, and still, here and there, pools of yellow water.
 Eighteen bodies are in the morgue. City authorities tally of nine more persons as certainly dead; witnesses have been found who saw them drown in the streets. Moreno one knows certainly how many more-are missing. Road re- sorts in the surrounding hills and homes of dozens of hill dwellers are full of refugees. No one knows how many refugees.
 During the night many men of the refugees plodded down the sog- gy hill roads to the city to search for lost relatives. or learn the ex- tent of damage to homes that they left in panic.
 National guardsmen patrolled the dark streets. Occasionally one of them challenged salvage worker in the blackncss. There was no other sign of life. Sightseers who would have filled the city were turned back at the eity's edge. Res-

 Pittsburgh. March 2l-CUP)-- Military and civil authorities worked against time under terrible handicaps today to restore Pitts burgh's water system before epi- demic disease gained headway in the havoc left by flood.
 The city was without an adequate supply of drinking water, without electric power or lights, handicap ped by & shortage of currency be- and plastered ankle deep through its most populous districts with yellow mud and sand.
 A heavy snowstorm struck short- ly after midnight and in less than two hours blanketed the city in white.
 Authorities said they feared tha: Allegheny county's death toll in the two days in which the Monongahe- Ia and Allegheny rivers stood in the city would prive to be nearly 60 Thirty bodies were in the morgue today. Estimates of damage ran from $25, ,0o0,0 900 to staggering sums in nine figures.
 The Pittsburgh press estimated that the economic loss in western Pennsylvania would pass $250,000,- 900.
 More than 25,000 WPA workers moved Into the deep muck of the Golden Triangle" today with shov- els, hoses and hundreds of trucks They believed the most offensive evidences of the departed flood would be moved from main streets by Monday.
 The work was handicapped by lack of electric power and made quatc water supplies. The workmer themselves were hired on a prom ise- -to-pay basis. Merchants refused to cash checks of any sort unti banks resume normal operation.
 A federal appropriation of $l ,000,- 900 has been promised Pennsylva- mia for flood relief and Pittsburgh probably will receive most of 1t. 'ekGpiernUn6fsusGdessk nPfrf

AS a result of the severe cold wave which has
swept over the entire nation, there is today

likely in this day Of fast transportation, that the
health of residents of every section will be af
fected.
According to DR.. E. R. Coffey, state director Of
health, there 921 deaths from pneumonia and
265 from influenza in this state during 1895. OF
these, a large portion occurred during the months
Of January February and March. With the severe
weather Of this year, the rate will likely increase
to great extent unless simple but effective pre-

Do not neglect colds go to bed if you have one,
and call your physician, for pneumonia is often

No greater memorial could be written for the
late Elwood Mead, who served for eleven years,
until his death recently, as Commissioner Of Rec
lamation, than these words, which appeared many
years ago in an Edinburgh (Scotland) newspaper:
" That although the tomb of Moses is
KNOWN the traveller Of today slakes his thirst at
the we'll of Jacob the gorgeous palaces of the
wisest and wealthiest of monarchs, with their
cedar and gold and ivory, and even the great
temple of Jerusalem, halloWed by the Deity Him
self, are gone; but Solomon's reservoirs
perfect as ever Of the magnificent and costly
architecture of the Holy City, not stone is left
upon another, but the pool OF Bethesda commands
the pilgrims reverence at the present day. The
columns of Persepolis moldering into dust,
but it's cistern and aqueduct remain to challenge
our admiration.
'sThe golden house of Nero is Of ruins
but the Aqua Claudia still pours into the city OF
Rome it's limpid stream The Temple of the Sun,
at Tadmor in the wilderness, has fallen, but it's
fountain sparkles in the rays of the morning as
when thousands Of Worshippers thronged it's lofty
colonnades.
''And if any work Of this generation shall rise
over the deep ocean of time, may we'll believe
that it will be neither palace temple, but
some vast aqueduct or reservoir; and if any name
shall hereafter flash brightest through the mist OF
antiquity, it will probably be that Of the man who
in his day sought the happiness of his fellowmen

tional utility or benevOlence -
This week the West observes DIR. Mead Week..
Through his unstinted labors he was largely re-
sponsible for the great development of the West
during the past decade. He needs marble mon
ument. His is constructed of concrete and earthen
dams, steel pipe lines and wooden fumes cris-
crossing the one-time deserts of the West, which
are now blooming the rose. The fertile valleys,
drawing their sustenance from the great rivers of
the West, will serve forever as testimonial to
the great work of Dr. Mead.
