known accurately, for the reason that
about three hundred of them were ne
groes and they were buried In many
communities without careful records
being made OF their numbers. While
some of the first reports giving appar'

proved unreliable, nevertheless remote
places, which were late In reporting
their dead, have served to hold the
total death list uniformly around $50

has grown for two days in spite OF

the interstate scope of the disaster.
By following the wreckage of towns
the general direction OF the tornadoes
can be traced closely. Apparently the
storm came in three separate currents
each describing the arc of a circle and
travelling toward the northeast. The
first of these struck through northern
Louisiana. Mississippi and Tennessee
The second appeared farther south Ii
Louisiana and Mississippi. This ap
~parently was the portion of the storm
which had swept through Georgia anC
Alabama Friday and Saturday. Thu
third portion OF the storm appeared
farther south than either of its pre-
decessors. This was the storm which
demolished Amite. La, and Purvis

The constant tendency toward in

eyes of the better class of citizens and

seen at the Gennett theater for an en-

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, PosIan, Now obtainabie in
Small Quantities.

Since its discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases OF
eczema and other distre ssing skin af.
Elections. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit OF
eczema patients In large jars suffi
Client for a months treatment. This
was found to be an Inconvenience to
many thousands who use it for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples, black
heads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, com
pie xion blemishes, itching feet, piles,
ETC., which require but a small guam
tity to cure. To overcome this, and in
response to urgent appeals, the dis
pensers of poslam have been Obliged
to adopt, in addition to the regular
two-dollar package, a special fifty,
cent size, which in future may be
found on sale at w. H. Sudhoff's and
other leading drug stores, in Rich
mond, or may be ordered direct from
the Emergency Laboratories, No. 81
West 25th Street, New York City. In
all eczema cases poslam stops itching
with first application, and proceeds to
heal Immediately; chronic cases being
cured in two weeks. In less serious
skin troubles, results are seen after an
overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had. free of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.
