New Richmond, Wis, June Ito
day, five days after the New Richmond
tornado, it is possible to give a sum-
mary of the death and destruction with
fair accurateness. The official list of
known dead contains l02 names. Five
unidentified bodies have been buried
besides some parts of bodies. A con-
sentative estimate of the bodies still In
the ruins of people not reported missing
would be fifteen. This brings the loss
of life to about 122. The best estimate
on the loss of property in the city of
New Richmond, compiled from list of
individual property owners who lost
everything, reaches total of S550,000.
To this may be added about 100000 for
household goods and other property de-
stroyed not included in the buildings de-

The Whip May Spur Him on for Short
Distance.
When horse becomes worn and tired
he may be urged on by the whip in the
hands of heartless driver, but reason
would say, let him rest and feed and
give him time to recuperate, then he
will renew his journey with ease and
without fatigue.
When the stomach becomes tired and
weak from impure blood dose can be
taken that will stimulate it on to do the
work of digestion, but it is only slim
ulant, and soon the stomach becomes
dependent on this assistance. The
proper and only way TO have healthy
stomach is to make the blood pure and
the liver healthy.
Knox Stomach Tablets are new
combination of remedies tried and
tested. They purify the blood, make
the liver healthy, and cure nervousness,
dyspepsia, biliOusness, loss of appetite,
catarrh, and constipation. A single box
will restore the bloom of health TO the
cheek and send pure blood coursing
through the veins. An immediate re-
lief for indigestion and positive cure
for dyspepsia.
If unable to secure them of your local
druggist, send fifty cents to the Knox
Chemical Co., Battle Creek, Mich, and
