Neither Everett nor bis twin brother. Earl, know that the doctors say six months more at the sanitarium will straighten out the curved leg and ban ish tuberculosis germs from their sys tems absolutely. Neither tiny chap knows that his mother died of tuber culosis several weeks ago. and that Is why. when they kneel every night at their nurse's knee, they pray. "And God bless dear papa and mamma."

Tl ey sat down on the rug for a chat. "You see. we haven't even one tiny toy now." said Everett. "Earl has a horn but I broke up mine. We broke our horses, too. and Charles took them away." Would thev like toys? Would they? Why. the Ideal of Earl's dreams was to have a "great, arreat. great big drum." and Everett's needs would be satisfied with a horse. They both thought a sled would be splendid and randy well, that goes without saying. Were they ever naughty? That was a great secret and had to be whispered. Ten. yesterday- they walked in the wet grass. The New Lady had seen them and she had said she would have to tell Doctor Ober. In charge at the saul tarlum. about them. "Please don't tell.

The father Is said to be unable to care for them. Their mother Is dead. "I have been subscribing to the fund for the care of the Johnson boys my self," said Dr. Pierce. "I know of no worthier cause for Portland generosity. The lads are manly and will be healthy. Anyone can see how thoy are picking up. Earl is almost cured and it will not be long before Everett's leg Is straightened.

MANY SAID TO BE DEAD Refugees Declare That in Inundated Section of Louisiana Families Have Been Seen to Fall From Housetops. NEW ROADS, La., May . Flood refugees reaclilsg here early today de clare there has been loss of life In that part of Louisiana Inundated by the Mississippi River, which rushed through the breach In the levee at Torras. It is said that motor boata sent to take many persons from floating housetops arrived too late. How many persons perished cannot be determined. Refugees to the con centration camps are hurried hither and thither. Sometimes families are separated and persons have been re ported "missing" who simply have been sent from one camp to another. Many Persona Swept Away. Nevertheless. many refugees say they have seen entire families swept from housetops. Leaders of the res cue corps admit that several times they have sent motorboats to points where families had taken refuge on the roof of a house and that when the boat arrived its crew found only the building, buffeted about by currents and half Its roof surface submerged. Appeals for help reached here last nlfht from Lettsworth. directly in the path of the Torras torrent. Half a hundred people were reported to be In imminent danger of drowning. The house In which they have taken shelt er had been dislodged from its foun dation and was being tossed about In the current. There are at least 1000 persons who remain to be rescued from the inun dated country west of Lettsworth and Batchelor. Some of them are drifting about on hastily constructed rafts. The crevasse water is spreading at a rapid rate. Inundating sections of Pointe Coupe Pariah, which never be fore have been raached by overflows Town after town is being swept by the muddy waters. The la.'t of the special trains bring ing refugees out of the country around Batchelor arrived here last night. When two relief trains were about ready to leave Batchelor word was re ceived that there was grave danger of being cut off by a threatened washout in the tracks several miles east of that place. When the first train ar rived at the point of trouble water was flowing over the tracks for distance of five miles, but the train passed over safely. When the second section arrived the water was rushing over the track about two feet deep. An attempt was made to reach the other side of the washout, but about halfway across the track gave way and the caboose and three cars toppled over. Occupants of the derailed cars were thrown into the water, but escaped without injury. They were transferred to other cars and brought on to New Roads. Passengers Are Drencbed. When the first section of the relief special sped through the water, which was running over the tracks Just north of Morgansea. scores of persons were seen standing waist deep in water near the railroad, signaling the train to stop. The water was rising so rapidly that those in charge of the train de elded it would imperil the lives of all those on board to delay the train. The train was not stopped. The last link binding Batchelor with the outside world by rail was severed when the swift waters from the Torras crevasse swept away the long stretch of Texas & Pacific Railroad tracks short distance east of there. Reports reach Batchelor at all hours of the day of flood victims marooned in houses, barns, and on tops of houses. A message was received last night from Lettsworth, six miles north of Batchelor. that 60 persons were crowd ed Into one house west of there, and were In imminent danger of being drowned. The house was washed from Its foundations and was floating around In the water. Boats were hurriedly dls patched there. Another appeal for help came from a small village several mile west of Batchelor, where a score of persons were said to be clinging to the roof of barn which waa being buffeted about the torrerit. A boat left Batchelor at daylight to take them off. . Governor Asked to Aid. Urgent appeals for boats to be used In rescue work have been sent to Governor Banders at New Orleans. The steamboat City of Shreveport and shipment of a doxen skiffs are due to arrive in JBatchelor today. Thousands of anxious people in the flood-menaced districts were dluheart ened today by heavy rains that pelted at levees already strained almost to the bursting .point. All night long armies of workmen fought to strengthen those dykes that held firm, while other em bankments gave way before the flood that now rovers portions of 18 parishes. Great numbers of men ware engaged In the rescue of hundreds of persons who have been marooned in dangerous places, and the work of supplying with food and clothing the thousands al ready gathered in emergency camps continued. The situation at New Orleans was unchanged this noon, despite a rise in tho river. It is felt that New Orleans Is in no danger. The first lovee breach reported to day occurred on the Atchafalaya River near Elba. This adds to the menace about Melville. Water is now rushing over Pointe Coupe Parish from two sources, a break In the Mississippi levee already having Inundated part of the parish. Hundreds of persons who have re mained in this district are in imminent danger. Water from the Torras crevasse has topped the Fordibch fUde and today is coming down the Mjarlngou and Urosse Tete Bayou with a rush. It is said to be rising from three to four Inches an hour. ject to his disposal at the time of h'.S death, excepting such of said articles as are. otherwise above disposed of.

NEW TREATMENT FOR RHEUMATICS "Uric Acid" Course Demon strated Success in San Francisco Words of Praise for Sponsor Who Explains His Method MILLIONS GO TO VINCENT (Continued From Flr-t Page.) niadge Force Astor, an outright legacy of $100,000 payable Immediately on the testator's death, and all the horses and other livestock, and all carriages and harness and stable furniture, and all automobiles and all provisions and sup plies belonging to the testator, or sub- Thwt a new treatment for rheumatism has been discovered, which seems to have almost unfailing success. with the dread muscular scourge, has been dem onstrated in San Francisco and the bay cities. The new treatment consists of a number of remedies harmonized and combined so as to treat various organs of the body individually, and at tho same time have concentrated action on the seat of the disease. The treatment is known as the "uric acid course" and was Introduced here personally by Prof. James M. Munyon. the Eastern health expert, and It is now being dispensed with great success by his physicians. The treatment has been placed on the market and Is carried by most drug gists. In discussing this new- treatment Professor Munyon said: Few people understand rheumatism. For that matter, few physicians under stand it- It is, commonly supposed to be a mysterious ailment that comes and goes with no apparent reason, and that the best thing to do when one has it is to grin and bear .it. or to bear it anyway, even If one doesn t feel like grinning. Tills Is unscientific, unnat ural and, best of all, unnecessary. 'Uric acid In the blood. In the liver. in the kidneys penetrating practically every organ of the body In excess quantities this is the cause of rheu matism. Incidentally, it Is the cause of many other diseases not commonly attributed to uric acid poisoning. How to cure rheumatism? Just by using common sense. If the cause is excess uric acid which is poisoning ttie whole system, simply attack the disease where it originates neutralize the uric acid and your rheumatism disappears. These are the lines on which I and my large staff of consulting physicians have been working for years, and we think we have found success. We have positively cured thousands of cases of rheumatism after patients had tried every other method and failed according to what these pa tients themselves say and the de mands for our full course treatment have become so great we can hardly keep up with it. My physicians in my rooms, 4 and 5 second floor, 362 Washington street, receive hundreds of patients dally. From all sides we are getting words of praiHe. Druggists re port tremendous sales of this new treatment complete in package form. and testimonials giving commendation In the most extravagant and flattering terms are pouring In by scores and hundreds. It makes me proud of our achievement and proud of California my future home." Adv, j x erchaixiae d !erll Only.
