One thousand people were homeless and train service on six railroads was in definitely suspended Mere to-night because of a flood from swollen streams at the south of the city. One person, a negro, is thought to have lost his life. The damage is esti mated in hundreds of thousands of dollars. With the exception of Mobile and Ohio trains running to and from the North, Meridian was cut off from the outside world , following the forty eight hour rainfall, which reached 10.10 Inches. ' The small valleys to the south are completely flooded and the residents, mostly negroes, had to flee to higher ground. Several . manufacturing plants are in these .valleys. The railroad tracks are under water for miles, and it is estimated that the flood will not recede wliuhin less than three days. Several washouts on railroads have ; been reported. The unverified report of loss of life was that of Milton Jones, negro, who was said to have been swept away by the water while attempting to rescue a negress marooned in her house. The dams of lakes privately owned have broken. The damage to these lakes including the loss of fish with which they were stocked is estimat ed at $25,000. - . RIVES. Mr. Robert Moffat, of Chester, S.

Upon investi gating these cases we have found the trouble to be Forage Poisoning in every instance. .This ia hot a new disease, having appeared from time to time but with greater prevalency during some years than others. It is commonly spoken of as "Blind Staggers." The appearance of this trouble is invariably associated with the feeding of mouldy grain or rough ness. On account, of the unsatis factory results in treating this di sease, it becomes very essential . to rely on preventative rather than cu railKS-.measures. Consequently we y lUtioning farmers to avoid feeding anything to horses and mules which has become mouldy. The fact that you have fed mouldy grain or roughness during previous years with out bad results is not a satisfactory argument to justify its continuation. Stop feeding bad feed to horses and mules and thereby stop losses from Forage Poisoning. M. JACOB, -State Veterinarian. Is the Highest and Best Patent Flour Made.

Almost every article of merchandise needed and every food stuff required in the home from fuel to groceries and meats to fruit and vegetables, can now be purchased from the Quartermaster Corps. Ser vice facilities of the new commissary include the handy feature so prized by the average housewife of being able to telephone orders and get them delivered the same afternoon. The big building used for the store was formerly a barracks for American soldiers. The interior was remodeled and fitted with counters, booths, of flees, etc., its central location- and ample floor space is ideally suited to the purpose. " A newly inaugurated system of au diting and handling each day's busi ness has been 'put in charge of a chief abstractor and an individual re cord is kept of each booth, using es pecially a$sjract of sale and inven tory store sheets. ' At all booths ex cept the butcher shop and clothing section, cash Is paid across the coun ter for each article as is the custom in a civilian store, the only differ ence is that the merchandise is sold to purchasers at Government cost. The department store nature of the new commissary Is still further resembled by parcel-wrapping coun ters and clothes trying-on rooms. A floor-walker is on hand to see that all booths are kept supplied with ample stocks of the articles that are handled. His duty is also to invite and make suggestions for the better-; ment of the Service.
