STRICKEN CHELSEA
NEEDS MORE AID
Ten Thousa and, Mostly
Women and Children,

Ruins Are Being Searched
for Additional Vic

BOSTON, April 15.-Relief work is
completely organized at Chelsea, and
now the city fathers are beginning to
plan a new city.
Despite the relief given the stricken
lO,OO people, three-Quarters of them
women and children, are today in dire
distress Food. of a kind, has been sup
piled, and sufhced the first day or two
The people need more than that now.
They have been sheltered in a way, but
today the shelter problem has grown
it is now brought home TO the sufferers
that they cannot go on existing under
these conditions, that now the problem
Of reStoriI z themselves sta-es them in
the face. The general relief fund, now
$4,000. is insufficient
The generous nave given literally. but
the CldinoTS Tor aid and the distress Of
the people seeking lost dear ones is
greater today than il has been at any
time There is danger that the appall-
ing extent Of the calamity VIII not be
appreciated.
Searching for Bodies.
Search is being renewed today in the
ruins for bodies Of additional victims
1t is believed the list of dead will be
enlarged, perhaps considerable. as there
are stiu a large number Of missing and
unaccOUnted Cor. 1t is pointed out that
there may have been victims caught in
the flames, OF whose bodies there Will
not be a trace left
"A fire which ground brick and stone

Third of City Burned.
While the fire devastated only about
a third Of the city's area it wiped out
the most important section. containing
nearly all the public buildings and most
of the churches and business houses.
Hence the problem of rebuilding is
practically that Of establishing a new
municipality.
Insurance money Will give the prop
erty owners a good start. Latest esti-
mates Increase the amount due from
this source. Agents OF various fire

Chelsea has learned its lesson and the
buildings that viii take the places OF
those destroyed will be largely Of fire

Streets win be wider. and greater
precautions will be taken against the
exposure and burning of infiammabie
material.
Sightseers Crowd Town.
Today the ruined city is crowded with
sightseers. Trolley cars are running
once more through the burned district
and they are loaded TO the platforms
with passengers viewing the ruins.
The last battalion of the twenty mil
tia companies that have been on guard
since Sunday night left the city today
and were relieved by two Lynn COM
panies.
A temporary postoffice has been set

ing mail progresses smoothly.

A Gentle Dose
That Never Needs Increasing

Asmall dose of harsh physie-salts, cas-
tor oil or Pills-soon ceases TO be
effective.
Then YOU take larger doses. Else you
take the physic more frequently.
That is because the physic is irritating.
The bowel lining grows hard, just as
the skin becomes calloused by con-
slant irritation.
Calloused bowels can't perform their
natural functions The result IS
chronic constipation-the need of
constant help.
Such physic belongs to an ancient era.
Modern physicians have learned its
effects and displaced it
They row help the bowels gently and
naturally. They use vegetables in
stead of minerals.
Cascarets are purely vegetable.
