LACK OF FUNDS MAY STOP WORK Shortage Will Cause Work On Mississippi River Crevasses To Stop Washington. Aug. 31.— (UP) —Repair work on flood crevasses in the Mississippi river banks must stop for lack of funds unless Comptroller General McCarl reverses his ruling and permits the war department to borrow $2,000,000 for the purpose from the unallotted balance of its general rivers and harbors fund, Secretary of War Davis said today. Davis appealed to McCarl today to change his decision uehyHig transfer ot the needed money. The Mississippi river commission has practically exhausted its funds and the next annual Mississippi flood control appropriation of $10,000,000 will not be available until next July, the secretary said. Though congress in December presumably would cut the legal tape which now prevents transfer of the desired $2,000,000 to the flood fund, army engineers are unwilling to delay reconstruction work until that time. Davis planned to leave here this afternoon for St. Louis to confer with the Mississippi river commission. o * NEWS FROM PREBLE * * By * * Miss Lorine Kirchner * X**¥¥*******s?

Had dizzy spells and at times would have fallen if I had not had something to hold to. Was awfully nervous, had gas on my stomach most all the time, severe cramps and agonizing pains. I felt like I was raw from the bottom of my stomach clear up to my throat, and I had to take soda all the time. My first and only relief came from Viuna. After the second dose I could feel it was helping me. After the second bottle all the gas, cramps, etc., disappeared for good, and now I can eat anything without one bit of fear. My appetite is good, my nervousness gone, and I sleep like a baby at night. Until I took Viuna I had never weighed over 110 pounds in my life, and now I weigh 114 pounds, and am gaining every day.”—Mrs. Mike Hennis, Fortville, Ind. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings now strength and energy to the whole body.
