Taking Care o. Yourself.

There never was time when peo-

health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than

The result of properly balanced ra-

and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is true of man.

THE FIRE RENEWED.


It was determined to start the VEN
tilating fan at the opposite side of
the mine so as to clear the galleries
of smoke. The fan whirred for half
IN hour, then was ordered stopped.
Smoke began to pour from the main
haft, when 1t should have been drawn
down and out through the exhaust.
Down again went the searchers. but
were soon jerked to the surface to
procure fire hose, which was taken in
to the depths. and water turned on
to extinguish blaze, of which there had
been no evidence previously. Twice II
was tried to drown the FIRE. but at two
o'clock dense smoke poured out and
the temperature around the shaft heat
ed 50 that re-entry was impossible.
The shaft was again sealed with steel
sheets and a layer of sand. Relatives
OF the victims turned away In despair
and for an hour the streets were filled
with fearful people whose faces ex-
pressed utter hopelessness.

ARE BURIED UNDER TONS
or DEBRIS

Cherry, Nov. 15.-The 300 or more
miners entombed in Saturdays dis
aster are dead. Some of the bodies are
buried beneath thousands of tons OF
earth, which caved in upon them, and
it is doubtful whether many bodies
will be recovered. This was the opin-
ion tonight after the continuous eff
forts at rescue carried on for forty
eight hours were temporarily abandon
ed
Fires In the mine, which broke out
with renewed fierceness early today,
made further descents by rescuers i'm
possible Fans employed to carry fresh
air down to the imprisoned men serv-
ed only to enliven some sparks into
flames. Soon the heat and smoke were
so dense it was necessary to again seal
the mouth of the hosting shaft. To-
night the men below are locked in eff
fectively. Whether the bodies will be
recovered tomorrow or several days
hence depends upon the condition of
the fire. 1t Is possible that steam and
chemicals producing carbonic acid gas
will be forced down tomorrow with
the object of checking the flames.

CoFFINs ARE ORDERED.

1t was learned that 800 collins are
ordered-half to arrive tomorrow
half Wednesday. In the meantime
several score of nurses were rushed
here anticipating work of reviving in
jured and half-suffocated men, Nobody
Is expected to be brought out who will
be susceptible to resuscitation.
Hope swung frequently in the tal-
ance today. Before the fire b'a7e1
again rescuers descended four times,
and rumor was circulated that the
prisoners had been reached.
"They are alive!" cried m theirs an
wives. "They will be brought up pref
ty soon!"
But the rumor was baseless. The
rescuers once got down 300 feet to the
bottom of the shaft and penetrated $50
feet into the bottom gallery. But no.
body dead or alive was found and no
response was made to shouts.
The miners probably crowded into
the farthest recesses, but We're unable
to go on without reascending. Before
this the fire had broken out.
Tonight only half dozen guards
patrolled the premises about the mine
entrances where skeleton iron frame
work surrounded by group OF low
wooden buildings, marks the desolate
spot so recently scene of industry.
Scattered here and there, few women
wrapped in shawls gaZed in HOPELESS

CANVASS OF HOUSES.

President Earling of the st. Paul
railroad caused canvass of the homes
to be made. This showed 256 miners
missing, but families were not at home
and 1t is believed the complete list
will exceed 300.
This morning, when the main shaft
was re-opened there was little smoke,
causing a hope that the fire was
smothered. President Newsam of the
state mining board conferred with
Mine Examiner Taylor and r. Y. Will
liams, and others, who appeared in
oxygen outfits with helmets ready to
descend.
It was felt that when recovery OF
the dead began, difficulty would be en-
countered in preventing disorder; con-
sequently an extra force of deputy
sheriffs was sworn. Addressing these
deputies, States Attorney Eckhart
said:
II want you men to comprehend the
feelings of these poor people and ex-
plain TO them the necessity for per-
feet order.
IF any attempt Is made to break
through your line, explain In a
gentlemanly way. Do all you can to
dissuade them. and under no circum-
stances resort to violence or lose your
temper"

enclosure are walled with humanity.

DRUG
STORE ON FIRE
WITH ENTHUSIASM OVER THE
GREAT DISCOVERY.

The great good that is being done
here in Marshalltown and vicinity has
caused fame of conviction to sweep
over many homes, and scores of people
are going to Morgan's drug store to get
some of the health creating Root Juice
that has caused so much talk turnout
the state during the past few months.
The necessity of proving the merits OF
the great remedy has almost ceased as
most of the people are convinced be-
cause they know Of some neiglibor or
friend who is rapidly improving I'M
der the juice treatment Homer L.
Barlow said: My little boy and self
have been using the juice about week
and it is doing US both worlds of
good. My boy was in very bad fix
before taking the remedy. He had
used great deal of medicine before
taking the juice, without any benefit
but the juice seemed to take a hold
Of his case at the very start and inn
provement has been very rapid. His
stomach and kidneys were in an aw-
full condition before taking the great
remedy. Ny trouble was indigestion;
gas formed on my stomach and bow
els and bloated a great deal, but
Root Juice has almost entirely stopped
that. 1t seems thai after people take
the truly wonderful medicine a few
days they praise it so highly that their
friends and neighbors go in crowds to
tMorgan's drug store and get some of it.
We heard that the scientist spent a for
tune in perfecting Root Juice. He is
certainly being rewarded for it is all
most impossible to make the medicine
fast enough to supply the demand. The
discovery IS certainly proved to be the
greatest of the age for healing and
toning the stomach bowels, liver and
kidneys. Many people from every walk
of life who have suffered for years with
stomach troubles, rheumatism, nerv-
Gus weakness and kidney affections
after taking the remedy a few days
are so enthusiastic in their praise
that it is hard 10 doubt the health
giving properties of the medicine We
are informed that the demonstrations
will continue but few days at this
point. The Root Juice is sold for one
dollar bottle or three bottles for two

FUN REiGNs SUPREME.
Attractiveness Of Circus Program Due
Largely to Clowns.

Sixty of the worlds best and merriest
clowns are largely responsible for the
attractiveness of this years program Of
the Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show
on Earth. There is not a moment dur
ing the three hours the doors are open
that the audience is not laughing at
some droll stunt or funny antic of the
great army of comedians.
In the ranks of the Barnum and
Bailey clowns have originated all the
best clown acts that people all over
the world have laughed at for the past
ifty-four years. AS usual, they have
this season an entirely new array of
amusing skits, pantomimes. burlesques
and travesties. The arena swarms
with merry fellows, each on the alert
fey mischief They are the delight of
the children, and grown-ups who can
not laugh had better see a doctor.
From Europe has come an especially
comical band of fun makers, whose or
iginal and fantastic make-ups and
quaint drollery are not to be resisted
by man or child. A burlesque Arctic
expedition, the funny airship scene and
a grotesque lion tanning speciality are
received with shouts of merriment.

ing Deleterious ingredients.


GFrom the Eau Claire Leader]
AT a recent meeting of the COM
mon council, the matter of the de-
caying of portions of the Barstow street
bridge. was preached and the subject
was discussed. The city engineer had
gone over the structure and recon-
mended that the surface be coated to
fill up the pores, which We're showing
to some extent
Mr.. johnson lays it all to an inferior
brand of cement, which has been used
in some portions of the bridge. To at
test to this he pointed out places where
very good distinction was to be seen
IN the main archwayS. He claims that
for the length of time the bridge has
been standing it shows considerable TOO
much wear. To Leader reporter Mr..
Johnson said:
Too much care can not be given II
the choice of cement for any kind of
concrete work, especially so when con-
crete is to be built where life and prop
erty will be endangered if the bridge
should fail. There are many cements
made of varying concretes. The bes.
are made from limestone rock and
shale-nature's own products. The in
ferior grades are made from furnace
Stag and other waste products. contain
ing high percentage of Inagnesia and
sulphur the deleterious action of which
is we'll known TO experienced concrete
engineers. 1t is indeed to be regrettei
that a work of this character should fail
for it is certain the bridge will have to
be rebuilt at further expense TO the
city.
Doubtless matters of this kind will
be given a little consideration by
municipal officials in other localities
who have concrete work in view Care
ful attention will be given TO the choice
of cement for work in the future. Eau
Claire is not alone in experiences Of
this kind. for few days ago a bridge
in Peoria collapsed. The exact cause
of the failure has not been determined
but II is to be presumed the quality OF
cement used in the Peoria bridge will
throw some light on the matter after
the Investigating committee have COM
pleted their investigation.
There are many lasting examples
today of beautiful concrete work, which
will endure for all time to come. because
extreme care was given to the choice OF
ma le.ldlS uSeQ IN the concrete, parucu-
larry the choice of the cement The
pure cement only costs a few cents a
barrel more than a spurious article
There should be little excuse for fall
ures hereafter. when they can be pre-
vented by little care in the additional
expenditure of a few dollars"
When asked If he thought cement
bridges We're the best to be used, Mr.
johnson said:
Yes, there is nothing so good and
in the long run so cheap. but great
! care must be taken in their construc-
ton and only the best material should
/ be used"
