while the doctors and the nurses were
drenched.
The streets were flooded and water
was running six inches deep.
The graves that we're dug were
filed with water and the cemetery
had more the appearance of a lake
than resting place for the dead.
Burial will be delayed by the de-
luge.
While the list has grown from 90,
as reported, to 105, the names of the
additional dead cannot be procured
Bodies were taken to the morgue
identified by their relatives and taken
to homes or given into the hands of
the undertakers with no tags on the
bodies A complete list of the dead
will never be known.

Very Dissipated.

There are good many persons
who might be said to be dissipated
and "all broke up according to the
Japanese use of the word, illustrated
in the following anecdote:
"They are telling in Boston of two
or three Japanese students of rank
who have been in the habit OF dining
each Sunday at the residence of one
of the prominent citizens of the Hub.
On a recent Sunday one was absent,
and when the host asked why, one Of
the guests said solemnly: oh, he
cannot come. He very, very dissi-
pated!' The host thought it best not
to make any further inquiry at the
time. but after the meal he ventured
to ask the same young man in pri-
vate, You say Mr. MIN Shi is not

"'No, he not very well-he very dis

RESULTS OF TORNADO
onIy Six Buildings Were Left undam-
aged at Snyder, Okla.
LIST OF DEAD MAY REACH 1872.
Appeals For Aid Have Been Sent
Observation-Disclosures Loss is Esti-
mated at STANDARDIZATION and
Suffering is Great.

Guthrie, Okla, May 13.-Estimates
of the number of persons killed by
tornado exceed 100, and $50 persons
were injured, more than 40 serious
ly. Ninety-five persons are known to
be dead several are missing and
number of the wounded are in criti-
cal condition. The wounded found
til they were taken to hospitals in
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. The
financial loss is estimated at $780,
900.
Oklahoma City-The st. Louis and
San Francisco sent 100 laborers in
> special train to Snyder, where
thy will be used in burying the vic
tins of the tornado and also to clear
away the wreckage.
On the special train also went
twelve of the visiting undertakers
who participated in the funeral di-
rectors' convention. which closed to-
day They took with them 100 collins
and will tomorrow devote their time
free to the burial of the dead.
Guthrie. The latest official re-
ports from the tornado-stricken town
of Snyder place the list of dead at 50.
Other rumors advance this figure to
100 1t is highly probable that the
death list. when accurately tabulated
will reach 1872, although most conser-
vative estimates place it at 100.
Of those injured there are various
reports reaching from 100 to $50.
1t is nearly impossible to arrive at
any definite idea of the property loss.
Considering the fact that not sin
gle building in the whole town of
Snyder was left unchanged, and the
additional fact of the great damage
to live stock. fruit and crops, it is
very probable that the total harm
done by the storm will reach a high
figure.
The. storm formed near the Texas
line and its path extends in a north
easterly direction for over forty miles,
causing damage at Altus, Olustee and
other small towns and in the coun-
try as well as at Snyder. Reports in
dictate that the casualties outside Of
Snyder will aggregate over twenty
five and may go higher
At Snyder, the lack of means to
bury the dead is causing serious in
convenience. There is plenty of
medical attention, however, financial
aid being most needed
Governor T. B. Ferguson issued a
request upon the mayors of various
Oklahoma places, the heads of Charit-
able organizations and the pastors of
churches to collect funds for the as
sistance of the sufferers there being
no statutory means for the appropria-
ton of money for calamities similar
to the one at Snyder. Numbers OF
cities have responded and assistance
is being rendered as fast aspracti-
cable.
Governor Ferguson has ordered the
signal corps of the national guard to
proceed to Snyder from Lawton to aid
in the rescue work.

In Spite of the Academy.

While that body of sirupy literary
sentimentalists known as the French
academy refused to gid the declin-

in worldwide appreciation long after
the pulling poets and itching love anal
ysts who rejected him have been for
gotten. Jules Verne was great beyond

ure up to the standard of emascu;ated

had placed upon his brow the laurel
of success.-Kansas City Journal

A substitute for Leather.

An English inventor has devised a
perfect substitute for leather which
can be used for boots, shoes and for
every other purpose for which leather
is employed. The new tissue is called
wolff. 1t is being extensively used
in England, having been adopted by
the London Shoe Company especially
for walking shoes on account of its
GOODNESS and its lightness. Wolff is
more durable than leather and is
much more waterproof. while at the
same time more porous, which makes
it a nonconductor, and to large de-
gree obviates the necessity for wear
ing rubbers which are needed by one
whose feet are clad with leather only
when the slush and mud is so deep
that the feet are half buried at every
step.

: FOOD VALUE OF FRUIT
Prejudice Against Its Liberal Use Is Result
2 of Erroneous Notions.

There are many popular but un-
founded prejudices against the dietic
use of fruits. 1t is generally sup
posed, for example, that fruits are
conducive TO bowel disorders, and
that they are especially prone to pro-
duce Indigestion if taken at the last
meal The truth is the very opposite
of these notions. An exclusive diet
of fruit is one of the best-known rem
edies for chronic bowel disorders.
During the late war, large numbers
of the soldiers suffering from chronic
dysentery were in several instances
rapidly cured when abundantly sup
piled with ripe peaches. Fruit juice
may be advantageously used in both
acute and chronic bowel disorders.
Care must be taken, however, to
avoid fruit juices which contain a
large amount of cane sugar. Juices
OF sweet fruits should be employed,
or mixture of sour and sweet fruit
juices, or acid fruit juice may be
sweetened with malt honey or mel
tose. natural sweet produced from
cereals. Raisins. figs, prunes, sweet
oPPiOS anu pears mdy NC uiASu Will
sour fruits.
Indigestion sometimes results from
the use of fruits in combination with
a variety of other food substances;
but fruits taken alone constitute the
best possible menu for the last meal
of the day. The combination of fruit,
sugar, cream, bread, butter. cake and
pie may well produce bad dreams and
bad taste in the mouth in the morn
ing. The use of fresh or stewed fruit
alone without any addition whatever
will produce no disturbance, and will
leave no unpleasant effects behind to
be regretted in the morning. Very
acid fruits sometimes disagree with
persons who have an excess of acid
and those who are suffering from
chronic Inflammation of the stomach;
but with these exceptions, there is al
most no case in which fruit may not
be advantageously used.
The notion that acid fruits must be
avoided by rheumatics is another err
ror which is based on inaccurate OBJ
servations. The fact is, rheumatics
are STedlIy UcHelItSu ny IHS uSe vi
fruit. At the same time they should
abstain from the use of flesh foods of
all sorts, beef tea and animal broths,
and all meat preparations, also tea
and coffee, as well as alcohol and to-
bacco. 1t is, of course, possible for
one to take an excess of acids, as one
may take an excess of starch or any
other food substances. Vegetable
acids differ from mineral acids in the
fact that they do not accumulate in
the body, but are assimilated or util-
lied in the same way as sugar and al
lied substances.

Food Value of Eggs.

Eggs are a very nourishing food
and represent two important ele-
ments, fats and proteids. in an easily
assimilated form. A single egg

ounces, of which one ounce is white,
or pure albumin, and one-half ounce

is greater than that of the white,

er. It's solid constituents are about
one half of its fat. Fresh eggs, prop
erly prepared, are readily digestible.
The best mode of preparation is
whipped raw. or cooked for twenty
CT thirty minutes at a temperature OF
about 1902 (curdled). The yolks are
more easily digested when boiled
hard, and the whites are also easily
digested when hard boiled, providing
care is used to reduce the coagulated
white to minute particles which may
readily be dissolved by the gastric
juice.
A single egg is equal in value to q
dozen oysters.
