Houston, Texas, Sept. 9-The
storm that ragged along the coast of
Texas last night was tho M st disas-

is no way of 6uding out just what
has happened, but enough is known
to make it certain that there has

tion of property all along the coast
and for a hundred miles inland
Every town that is reached reports
one or more dead and the property
damage is so great that there is no
way of computing it accurately.
Galveston remains isolated. The
Houston Post and the Associated
Press made efforts TO get special
trains and tugs today with which to
reach the island city. The railroad
companies declined to risk their
locomotives.
All sorts of rumors prevail but
with no substantial basis. It is
known that the railroad bridges
across the bay at Galveston are
either wrecked or are likely to be
destroyed with the weight Of train

wagon bridge are gone and it is ren

Persons have been known to

Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop

to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be-
fore, and that is the way the gain
is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health; if you have
not got it you can get it by
