Denver Relief Fund Grows.

Columbus, Ohio, March 3l.-Half a
million flood sufferers in Ohio are
begging for relief. The property loss
to date has amounted to SS50,000,0 900.
This the estimate made by Governor
Cox after the state authorities had
prepared an inventory of the disaster
and destruction wrought.
The flood waters arc rushing down
the Ohio river and Cairo Is near one
of the most disastrous inundations OF
its history. Citizens are taking warn
ing from Dayton and other towns and
are flying to the highlands. The fig
ures which were based on reports
gathered from all parts of the mum
dated area. were handed to the gov
ernor by public utilities commission.
They show the following itemized
damages to property. almost n total
loss. as next to nothing of it is COW
cred by insurance.
Railroads - Bridges, s25,OO0.OOO;
tracks. S5,OOO.OOO; equipment, S5.-
100000; terminal systems. sl0,-
100000; railway telegraph, $4,000

laneous. s5.OO0.OOO; county bridges.
$4,000, 900; county roads. $1,000. 900:
city streets and sewers and side
walks, $15.OO0,OOO; buildings. S50.000,-
600; merchandise in business houses,
s60.OOO.0OO.
Tractions-Track, cars. wire AMI
power houses. s2O.OOO.OOO.
Public Utilities-Gas, electric lights.

Levees, dikes and dams. slO,0O0.0O0.
Personal Property-Furniture. jew
elry, money, clothing. etc. s15,000,-
900; miscellaneous. intangible, s5.000.-
900.
In addition to this list, the state
highway commissioner. James r. Mar
ker, has prepared an estimate By
sections of the loss exclusive of
bridges, railways, highways and can
ais:
Damage Miami valley, s50,000.00O.
Damage Scioto valley, s5000O, 900.
Damage Muskingum valley, S50.000,-
900.
Damage other valleys of rivers flow
ing south. S10,00O,OO0.
Damage northern part of state, $780,
100000.
The great problem now is that of
food supplies. They have been NOV
ing in as fast as railroad tracks could
be prepared; still some cities have
thousands OF famished. Communities
that lavish their generosity upon the
flood swept cities are now in turn be-
ginning to run short of provisions.
With the Ohio river, already above
the record flood mark of 1884 in
places. the situation is becoming
graver.

COLD In :
THE Head
Is the First Chapter In the History I
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of it.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine vigorous person
to the house. AS rule, it ends in
recovery without any treatment. This
has led many people to regard cold
in the head as of no Importance. 1t Is
terrible mistake, however, to pass
by cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every yestige of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow 1t to go on and
IN for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
affects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
lake Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality, a
ease of acute catarrh. It ought to be
sailed SO, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
4 large per cent. of cases cold in the
head will end in chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps 30 per
cent. of cases of cold in the head will
lay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom or
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
Of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful OF
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeble or delicate women. should take
/ teaspoonful every hour.
