Satisfactorily in Columbus.

Columbus, o., March 31.-Recon-
struction of the west side of Column
bus, where the flood of last Tuesday
wrought the heaviest damage, was
begun today by the undaunted citi-
zens of that district, with the assis-
lance of more fortunate residents
Twelve additional bodies were re
covered from the debris but many of
previously reported dead, so that the
Columb bus death list still remains at ga.
Many are reported to be still miss
ing, but the list is gradually growing
smaller. Up to this evening So bodies
had been recovered and taken to the
central county morgue.
Confusion caused by caring for two
bodies at two or three different
morgues at first caused a reported
high death list, but now all bodies
have been ordered taken to the CEN
trail morgue as soon as found.
Working day and night, squads of
men furnished by the city and by
railroad companies, have patched up
ed the disaster on the west side. A
second smaller break is being re-
paired.
While householders were busy
clearing the wreckage from their
homes, while militiamen cleared the
principal streets of dead animals and
debris, plans were set afoOt for the
prevention of a similar catastrophe 1t
was planned to divert the Scioto river
through the city in two different riv
er beds and for the building of i'm
mense concrete retaining levees along
the banks of the present river bed.
A mass meeting of citizens was held
this afternoon and latest reports were
read and future conditions discussed.

The Mountebank and the Hunchbaek.
Up the Mount with shambling step,
head down-bent and the same stupid
expression on his face, the mounte-
bank went docilely, though not silent
ly. To one of the soldiers at his side
he spoke often, voicing that dull APP
prehension he had manifested when
first ordered into custody.

you! No, no! They'll keep the
oubliettes, calottes, and all the dark
holes for people of consequence-trait-
ors, or your fine gentry consigned by
lettres de cachet."
"Then what do you think they will
do with mel"
"Wait, and find out!" returned the
soldier roughly, and the mountebank
spoke no more for some time; held
his head lower, until, regarding him,
his guardian must needs laugh.
Here's craven-hearted fellow!
Well, If you really want to know,
they'll probably lock you up for the
night with the rest of rag-tag," indi-
eating the other prisoners, a short
distance ahead, Gin the cellar, or al

is that?"
bah! You want to know too much
If now your legs only moved as fast
as your tongue" And the speaker
completed the sentence with a sig
nificant jog on the others shoulders
Whereupon the mountebank quick
ened his footsteps, once more ceased
his questioning. 1t was the soldier
who had not yet spoken, but who had
been bordering a good deal on the
way up, who next broke the silence.

Bowels Get Weak
As Age Advances
THE FIRST NECESSITY is TO
KEEP THE BOWELS GENTLY
OPEN WITH A MILD
LAXATIVE TONIC

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-
pendent upon the condition of the
bowels that great care should be TAX
N to see that they act regularly. The
fact is that as age advances the
stomach muscles become weak and
inactive and the. liver does not store
up the juices that are necessary to
prompt digestion.
Some help can be obtained by eat
ing easily digested foods and by plen-
ty of exercise, but this latter is irk-
some to most elderly people. One
thing is certain, that a state of con
stipation should always be avoided
as it is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is to take a mild laXa-
| tive as often as is deemed necessary.
But with equal certainty it is sug,
gested that cathartics, purgatiyes
physics, salts and pills be avoided, as
they do but temporary good and are
so harsh as to be a shock to a deli
cafe system.
A much better plan, and one that
thousands of elderly people are fol

tonic like Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pep
