After doing damage of. over 11,000,000, drowning at least three persons, and rendering .4000 persons In Dallas homeless, the Trinity River today is falling slowly! It is. be lieved that when the water has receded it will be found that the number of deaths will be Increased. The workmen who were carried - down with the Texas & Pacific Railroad bridge yesterday have not all been accounted for.

With the waters of the Trinity River still near the summit of the banks another great vol ume of water began pouring from the west fork of that stream' toward this city late last night. Early today the river is rising at a rate of six inches an hour, and with such conditions as already prevail, the outcome when the crest of this second rush of waters reach this city cannot be foretold That considerable additional property loss and suffering will result is considered certain. A serious situation has developed here in regard to the city water supply, . The mains are filled with black, muddy water unfit for drinking- even after being boiled. The city authorities declare it may be a week before they can restore the normal water supply. Meanwhile those who can afford it are buying watar from pri vate hi itistdn wens ana tause wno cannot are drinking the water that cornea out of the mains. Thirteen men, women and children were caught in the overflow in the Denton River. Their condition became so pre carious that they were forced to hold the children upon their shoulders to keep them from drowning. They stood in water almost to their necks for ten hours until rescued. Thirteen employes engaged In repair ing a bridge at Grapevine were hemmed in by the rising waters on Monday. They sought refuge on top of a big water tank and at last accounts were still oh the tanks, surrounded by four miles of water. An attempt will be made to rescue them. OKLAHOMA FLOODS RECEDING Damage to Property Estimated at $10,000,000 Eight Lives Lost. GUTHRIBJ, Okla., May 2. The sun Is Bhinlng in Oklahoma today, and the flood waters are fast receding. No additional loss of life is reported, and the homeless are eg1nnlng gradually to return to their homes. The death roll remains at eight. With miles of tracks washed out and bridges damaged or destroyed, the rail roads are still demoralized; train service on many lines must remain annulled for several days yet, while on others only a partial service Is possible. The damage to crops and railroads can, of course, be enly roughly estimated, but a conserva tive figure places the aggregate at close to $10,000,000. It marks the costliest dis aster aver sustained either in Oklahoma or the Indian Territory or by the new State of Oklahoma.. At Muskogee the Arkansas River con tinued to rise VP to last night, but this morning began gradually to lower. At that point 1609 consumers are still with out gas as a result of the principal main breaking. In West Guthrie, where more than 509 houses were submerged, the water drained off fast today, and conditions began to assume a normal aspect.. Around Shawnee; Sapulpa, Tulsa, Jenks and- other points hundreds of railroad la borers are at work repairing tracks and bridges. At Stigler the Canadian River has made a complete change of course, and railroad bridges . that formerly spanned that stream are rendered useless.

Listen to the arguments set forth by the people who sell these. They will tell you that their mission is to extract the poison that abounds ' in every coffee and to thus give you a clearer, better tasting, more healthful beverage. When you buy ' ' - Brand Coffee ?ou don't have to use a fancy coffee pot or percolator, ife have taken out the poison bearing, bitter tasting element from the best coffee we can buy. This is the part of the berry that when it comes in contact with boiling water undergoes a chemical change. There is liberated an-active, harm-doing, disagreeable tasting substance that is not only injurious but detracts from the natural delicious coffee flavor. With "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee we have done in the first place that which the manufacturers of coffee pots at tempt to do for you at the time you brew the beverage. When you use "Puri-tan-ated" Coffee you can brew it in anything even a sauce pan. 1 It is just as good, too, warmed over the next day as when, you first made it. This is a subject worth looking up. .
