LIBERTY. Ind, March IA num-
Der of Liberty citizens who returned
this morning from Hamilton, making
the trip by automobile, say that con-
ditions in that city are far worse
than have been reported heretofore.
The Butler county capital is beyond
relief at this time, no person being
able to get into town beyond a short
distance eastward from the outskirts
of West Hamilton. The surging
waters stretch eastward to the hills a
distance of at least three and one
half miles, while north and south of
town the country in inundated for
miles. The waters, however, receded
during the night and showed a depth
of ten feet lower than last night at
o'clock. If this fall continues the re-
lief expeditions into the town will be
able by mid-afternoon to get into the
east section of the city. On High
street in Hamilton.s in the vicinity Of
the court house, the water last night
is said to have been ten feet in depth,
but despite this condition of affairs it
is the belief that the loss of life has
not been as great as reported earlier.
Probably one hundred lives have been
lost. The grave danger just now is
that people made homeless will suffer
from the exposure, the cold weather
this morning adding greatly to their
suffering.

vine here for the Bible conference now
in session at the Tabernacle as he stood
in a downtown soda shop today
Yes, sir he said, slowly slipping
huge glass of milk, this is breakfast,
lunch and supper to me. So far as meats
go, l could do without them entirely
81 have found it to be true-though it
may not apply to all-that milk serves me
as well as the more substantial and
heavier foods | can think better on this
diet send my thoughts into speech easier,
and, in fact, find that milk stimulates me
to mental effort.
81 would suggest a diet Of three glasses
Of milk per day to the average brain
worker. This, Of course, supplemented
with plenty Of vegetables and home made
breads
And just think how much the cost of
living is cut by such a diet"

Pardon of His Father
Sought by Four Year
Old Boy From Wilson

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Explain-
ing with quivering lips that unless he
could see President Wilson, his mother
and little sister would starve, the four
year-old son of William Blundy, APP
prentice seaman in the navy, now serv-
ing time for desertion, tried to force his
way into the chief executives presence.
When the policeman on guard asked
him what he wa.ated, the boy explained
that his father was in prison, his moth
er i'll and his little sister cold and
hungry. The boy led the officer to his
mother on the steps of the state, war
and navy building.
Mrs. Blundy appealed to the score
tary of the navy for the release of her
husband, who was imprisoned when he
deserted because the navy pay was not
sufficient for his famiiy's needs. Blundy
went to Mount Vernon. where he be-
came a chauffeur. He gave himself up
and was sent to Portsmouth navy yard
Mrs. Blundy's appeal has met with the
iron discipline of the navy, which re-
fuses to commute the husbands prison
term, although his pay will be allowed
her. Mrs. Blundy expects a third child.
She was sent to the house Of detention
