DAYTON NOW FACES
SHORTAGE OF FOOT

Dayton. O., April 1.-The food sup
ply in Dayton has been Overestimated
according to reports from stations scat
tered over the city. This morning John
Patterson. president OF the relief com
mittee, wired secretary Of war Garri-
son that the food situation was much
worse than had been anticipated and
the committee would look to the ma
tiOnal government for supplies.
Provisions must be received in the
stricken city before tomorrow or SUI
fering viii follow, officials say. Aside
from the imminent danger OF a food
shortage, cash IS in great demand.
Checks for large sums are in the hands
of the relief committee, but they are
practically worthless because cash is
not available.
Three bodies were recovered today,
bringing the toll OF the flood up to
12S. according to an estimate by coroner
]. ". Mckemy. The loWlands south Of
Dayton are being searched and the cor
Oner is making an effort TO get COM
plete list from the undertakers.
A carload Of automobile tires. con-
tributed for relief work, arrived today.

in view of what is now being done in
FL PasO-
There were five well defined classes
on each side Of the fight. For the open
town the first was the conservative,
careful good citizens, who felt that the
conditions were unfortunate. but did
prohlblt1Ve measures The second class
contained the brewers to a. man, brew
cry agents, saloons, redlight inmates
and renters of diSOrderly houses, both
for immoral purposes and liquor selling.
Third, there was the class of timid
people who said conditions had always
existed as they were and would not be
improved by the closing Of the reser-
yatiOn- Closely allied with this was
the great army commanded by general
Apathy, who stood on the well known
platform of letting well enough alone
The fifth and IN many ways the most
dangerous. was the class composed Of
old line pOliticians-the ring Of the
past, present and future-their hangers
r1erS TO the rlngSters- They were Op-
posed as q solid body to any restrictive
measures and against progress on gen
eTal principles.
mented their arguments with the time
worn one that Spokane had grown
from $4,000 TO 10000 in decade IN
der existing conditions. and to let well
enough alone
Strong Forces Favored Closing.
On the side Of the closed town are
an equal NUMBER or general DIVISIONS
OF Spokane's people. The first is the
mass of thoughtful business men and
professional men. the silent voters,
who have visions OF a future city beau
tifuL Few of this class make any
claims to goodness. but they have high
ideals and vote their convictions. The
second class includes all the philan7
thrOpic, definitely religious forces.
both Catholic ana Protestant who are
making sacrifices for a cleaner and
better city. The third is composed OF
practically all Of the sOcalled pious
class and men and women reformers
who often bring good through ex-
tremess. The teaching forces OF the
city both in public and private schools.
were aligned with the civic movement
from the start. The fifth class is the
motherhood Of Spokane. The mothers
were with US from the start. The town
was closed before suffrage became a
fact and this is a significant fact. as
IL carried by 1900 majority before
women voted.
There is a question whether this
same alignment for and against a better
living condition applies to FL Paso.
Although lived here under conditions
which were practically the same three
years ago I prefer to confine myself
to Spokane and let the people Of FL
Paso make the application"

- POKANE has just passed through
the same travail which FL Paso
- is experiencing at the present time
in order to give birth to a new and
clean city, according to Rev. B. C. Pres
ton. of Spokane. Rev. Mr.. Preston was
rofmerly minister Of the First ConSre-
gational church in FL PasO and Is now
pastor Of the Plymouth CongreSau onsI
church of Spokane, having been To-
Gated there three years.
Although he confines himself to SpO-
kane in his discussion OF civic cues
tions. the comparison between FL Paso
and Spokane under open and closed ad-
ministratiOns, is apparent
They carried on the fight for 10
years to make Spokane q clean city,
against the redlight district ana
against the horse races which were be-
ing held at COuer d Alene, only 80 miles
from Spokane
Two years ago Spokane was closed
and the Idaho legislature, which ad-
joGrned last week, passed friendly bill
putting the ban on racing at Occur
d Alene forever. This was done at the
suggestion Of the Spokane busint S
men, who realized the evil that the race
track was doing to the young men OF
Spokane.
Started By Business Men.
The civic movement which closed the
races was started by the business men,
including the owner OF the traction line,
which Teaped a direct return from the
races. They were inspired by the fact
that young men were defaultng and
dishonest because Of these races. There
were 125 young men defaulters, whose
trouble was directly traceable to the
AIene races. The races are held in
Idaho, 80 miles from Spokane, as Wash
ington state has outlaWed races. But.
the racing clan live in Spokane and the
evil is done there, and not in Idaho.
City Grows Faster.
The relation of the race track to the
red light district is a close one and the
elimination of one affects the other di-
rectly. In Spokane we closed the reser-
yation, and Spokane has been growing
more rapidly since then than before,
and living conditions, especially for
the young, are improved beyond belief.
The alignment of the forces for and
against the open town are interesting

my weight had fallen to 129 pounds.
I was troubled with night sweats, a Sc

in fact absolutely no ambition what
ever. About this time I consulted a
physician, who told me my lungs were
affected. Not satisfied, I went to an
other doctor, who after examining me
said that I was in the first stages OF
consumption At this point I started
to take Eckman'S Alternative The
night sweats stopped almost immedi-
ately, my cough became lOoser and
gradually disappeared Ny weight is
now 142 pounds and my physician has
pronounced me perfectly sound
