ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A
GOOD STOMACH
This OHer Should Be a Warning to
Every Man and Woman.

Every Man and Woman.
The newspapers and medical jour
nails recently have had much to say
relative to a famous millionaire's Of
fer Of a million dollars for a new
stomach.
This great. multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition
of his stomach. He allowed his dys-
pepsia to run from bad to worse until
in the end it became i~ncurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others. esagI
Every one who suffers with dyspep-
STA for a few years will give every
thing he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state Of the gastric
iuicess or by lack of tone in the walls
of the stomach. The result is that
the stomach loses its power to digest
food.
We are now able to supply certain
missing elements-to help to restore
to the gastric juices their digestive
mower, and to aid in making the stom-
ach strong and we'll.

Tablets are a most dependable rene
ly for ~disordered stcmachs, indiges-

devastation,
Austin, itself yesterday a busy mill
town of three. thousand people, many
of whom were enjoying the ne au-
tumn afternoon as a Saturday half
holiday, Is only a ghost of a town to-
day. Torn to pieces by water and
etaten by fire, the wet and charred
remnants of it's buildings, believed
TO hold the remains of three hundred
or more persons, were strewn along
the valley edge, piled in rows where
the main street business section was
or swept in scattered masses far down
the ravine.
Hundreds View Ruins.
Spectators, many of whom barely
escaped being victims of the disaster,
and hundreds of persons from sur
rounding towns, looked down from
the steep hiIlsides on Austin and Cos
tello through a veil of fog this orn
ing to see the fwreckage here of some
four hundred houses, a score of busi-
ness blocks, three churches and sew
eral large lumber mills, and three
miles further down the river at. Cos
tello the ruins of more than fifty
buildings. The flood did not spend
its force until it raced for more than
ten miles from the reservoir. Whar-
ton, still farther on, suffered some
what, but is practically intact. The
loss cf life at Costello, where the
residents had more warning, is be-
1ieved to be but three.
Property Loss $6,OOO,OOO.
The property loss in the valley is
estimated at upwards of $6,000.000.
In Austin out of the hundreds di-
rectly enveloped in the deluge hard
lN a dozen survive. The furious flood,
let loose when the Bayless Paper &
Pulp Co.'S dam crumbled yesterday
afternoon, picked up a huge battery
of heavy umbers inthe mill yards at,
the foot of the dam and with these
thousands of planks and logs rammed
its path with terrible havoc.
At the hospital today there were
but six injured for the car of the
small army of physicians and Nurse

DEADLY FOG IN GLASGOW.

The queer superstition still exists that
somehow smoke is good for the health.
Perhaps 1t is the Londoners way OF con-

closely In the matter Of Opaque atmosphere.
Statistics show that during the autumn
fogs in Glasgow in 1909. 063 persons died

Sir William Richmond, an expert in fog
facts, has recently had something TO say
about the way sulphuric acid bites into plct-
ures, fact first discovered by Faraday
when he reported upon the proposed re-

marbles appear TO be suffering. too. The

DEEP MOURNING FOR DOGS.

Deep mourning for pet dogs is the latest
feminine fad In London Deep mourning
among human beings to a certain extent
has gone out OF fashion. Deep mourning
for dogs is taking It's place.
A London woman tells how, having ad-
vertised the loss OF her dog. she was sur
prise: and shocked to receive ths same
evening an envelope in mourning nearly
an inch deep. Inqulring OF her veterinary
surgeon what this meant, she was told
that mourning for dogs BY memorial cards.
with deepest black edging. and even by
wearing black clothes. is becoming defin-
tie fashion.
