Omaha, March 26.-With two inches
of snow covering the ground and max
ing the further work of rescue In the
path of the tornado more difficult
Omaha presented the appearance oi
war times.
An entire regiment of militia is pa
trolling the storm district, aiding the
regular United States soldiers from
Fort Crook in the clearing work Every
church auditorium. every hall and
empty storeroom is being used tc
house the homeless victims.
After a careful check of undertak
ing apartments ii was found that there
are 10 known dead in Omaha. Work
Is still proceeding among the ruins, as
not more than one-fifth of the stricken
homes have been touched
Wholly or partially demolished
homes number 1863, according to fig
ures compiled by the relief commit
tee. The figures do not include
churches and schools and private mer
camille institutions.
The city officials are authority for
the statement that the homes alone
represent a property loss of S5,000.000
This figure, connected with the value
of other property, such as railroad
wires and rails, raises the entire loss
to $10,000,000.
Altogether the property loss In
Western Iowa, Council Bluffs and
Omaha is 100000.
Over Two Thousand Homeless.
There are 2,179 people made home
less by the tornado and these are now
being cared for at the relief stations
Figures compiled at the scene OF
the storm show that 263 people have
reported themselves destitute and de
pendent upon the aid of the state OF
county for relief Wagons loaded
with clothing or food are drawn up in
long lines in front OF the relief sta
tions awaiting for those with creden
tials to call upon them for supplies
1t is assured by authorities that every
victim will be amply provided with
the necessities.
Plans for the rebuilding of the
wrecked district are already under
way. 1t Is expected that corpora
tion will be formed and those who
need aid in rebuilding their homes
will receive the money from this cor.

New Wrinkles
About Wrinkles

II is a eroat mistake 10 suppose mat
all wrinkles indicate old age Some wrin-
kes and lines are Indications of tempera-
mcnt and character. and result from a
muscular contraction of the cheek or
brow. These lines become permanently
engraved I'm the face. as the underlying
tissue shrinks from the steady contrac-
ton and consequent lack Of circulation.
Wrinkles are often caused by Ill health,
mertal strain and nervousness. and gem
orally these wrinkles can be induced TO
leave by careful treatment and by build
ing M the health ard nervous system.
Whatever tends To promote the general
health. To Increase the deposit OF fat In

obllterate these tclltale lines and restore
hrmnCss and smoothnoss.
Very often the skin OF tho face has be-
come extremely dry. and lines form them
selves very quickly and for no apparent
reason.
While it il absolutely necessary to keep
the face perfectly clean. some skins are
so delicate and tender that the use OF q
bland soap is harmful and such skins need
an entirely different treatment from the
stronger coarser skins. II Is also neceS-
sary To give the skin a chance To recuper-

of the steam heated air of modern houses.
