SOUTH SWEPT BY A TORNADO
NINETY PERSONS KILLED AND
MANY INJURED.
Property Loss Will Reach Millions,
1t Is BeIieved-Snow Over
Middle West.

Kansas City, Mo--Indications from
late reports are that more than ninety
people were killed, scores severely in
Jured, and great property loss sus-
tanned in the disastrous electrical
storm which swept parts of Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Texas Eighty odd deaths
have been reported and The total loss
of life probably will be increased
when wire communication is restored
in remote sections devastated by the
tornado
The damage to property cannot be
estimated, but will have to be COM
puted in millions.
Twenty-nine persons are reported to
have persisted in Georgia, and dam
age to property is roughly estimated
at s1,000,000. Calhoun, Gordon coun-
ty, Georgia, and vicinity bore the
where eleven persons are reported to
have been killed. The other fatalities
in Georgia were, nine at Tucker, four
two at ColunDus.
Late reports from Tennessee have
increased the death toll in that state
to tWenty-three.
The loss of life in Alabama is esti-
mated at thirteen, although several
persons still are reported missing
Five negroes were killed near New
Decatur, three persons persisted al
Calera and two each at Hokes Bluff,
Gayesville and Duke.
Only one death has been reported
from Texas.
Reports from Louisiana and MissIs-
sippi say the death lists remain at
seven in each state.
Attendant disturbances covered
practically the entire Middle West.
Snow and rain storms, with high
winds, swept Nebraska, Kansas and
south into Oklahsna, where several
small tornadoes were reported. High
winds caused damage in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, but in the latter state
the greatest destruction was by the
terrific downpour and floods. From
the Dakotas north to the Canadian
line the storm was a blizzard, tying
up railway traffic and breaking all
telegraph and telephone communi "a
lions.

A s250,oo0 JEWELRY ROBBERY
Skilled Cracksmen in New York Tun-
mel Into East Side Pawn
brokers' Vault.

New York, N. Y.-An East Side
burglary, perpetrated by skilled
craftsmen, netted the largest haul in
New York City in many years.
Martin Simons & Sons, pawnbro-
kers in Hester street, were the VIC
Tins and the property stolen includes
II million dollars worth of jewelry,
diamonds and other gems and $4,000
in securities.
The thieves entered the pawnbro-
kers' vaults by tunnel from an abut-
ting building
The police are of the opinion that
six cracksmen were employed on the
job and That the tunneling required
all of Saturday night and the greater
part of Sunday morning. 1t is their
belief that the robbery took place
Sunday afternoon while hundreds of
persons were passing along the
street.

A woman furnishes to a paper a
statement of her household expenses.
Her husband turns over to her all his
wages, amounting to an average of $50
a month. except one dollar week.
which he keeps for tobacco and sun
dries. In her list of expenses occurs
this item: ITO husband, four dol
lars" That is, out of his wages
which she gets from him. she allows
him one dollar a month. That is
a mighty good idea-instead of the
husband doing out pittances to his
wife, allow her to take charge of the
income and let her make such allow
ances as may seem proper. This
might be a part of a prenuptial con-
tract. Then is the time to make it
and have it understood that the wife
should have charge of the family
purse strings. 1t would change the
relation of things immensely. Who
ever is in charge of the exchequer is
the ruler. The man may pride him
self much upon being the bread win
ner. That's glory enough for him.
When the bread is won. it is the wife's
privilege to cut it up and pass it
around.

BABY'S FACE ONE
SORE WITH ECZEMA
Cried for Hours, Could Not Sleep.
Resinol Brought Rest and Cure.

Reading, Pa.-"My baby girl had eczema
for over six months. It was painful and
itching, she could not sleep day or night,
she would scratch till blood and water
would run down her neck. Then it burned
her so she cried for hours at time. The
right side of her face was one sore and
scab.
81 got the samples of Resinol Soap and
Resinol Ointment on a Saturday morning,
and put them on, and put them on again:
in the afternoon and in the evening before
put her to bed, and she went to sleep,
and slept till next morning. L thought l.
was in heaven the first night, and by
Monday the eczema was dried up that
all the scabs fell off. Resinol Soap and
Ointment cured my baby. Mrs. VIM M.
Fletcher, 544 So. 171h St., Aug. 81, 1912
If you OF any of your little ones are suf-
fering from eczema, rash, letter, ringworm,
or other itching, burning skin eruption,
there is only one better proof of the value
of Resinol. That is, try it yourself and
see- You can get samples free by writing
to Dept. Ak, Resinol, Baltimore, Md
Resinol stops itching instantly. Prescribed
by careful doctors for eighteen years, sold
by every druggist, or sent by parcel post

BANANA AS A CHEAP FOOD.

The banana must be reckOned with
as one of the staple foodstuffs of the
people of tie United States The ex-
tent of consumption will be a surprise
to persons unfamiliar with the statis-
tics of tropical imports In a recent
official publication regarding the ba-
mana supply of the world and the an
nual use of that article in the United
States, estimating the average NUM-
Der of bananas on a bunch to be 40.
it appears that the people of the
United States utilize more than 6.0OO.-
100000 bananas a year. or more than
five dozen for every man, woman and
child in the country, including Alaska
and Hawaii. The value of bananas i'm
ported during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, was $5,S77 .835; in 1905,
SIS, 9S7, S21; in 1910. s11,642 .693. and In
1912, 1865, $50. These figures indi-
cate an increase of 23.4 per cent In
the last two years and IA per cent
IL 12 years There is apparently no
danger of any future failure OF the
banana supply. There are great
areas of untitled land in nearby trop-
zeal countries suited to banana produc-
ton. If it be admitted that the ba-
mana serves as a partial substitute
for our other daily food. its cheap
ness certainly serves to measurably
reduce the cost of living.
