OCCUPANTS IGNORED
WARNINGS TO FLEE

1t was this part of the city where the
flood first made its way and where the
occupants of the houses had ignored
warnings to leave 1t was here also that
it was feared most of the deaths would
occur. The only body found was thai
of Charles Parker, liveryman, discov-
cred in the courthouse yard.
The following is tabuiated estimate
OF conditions tonight:
Dead, accurate estimate impossible.
Seventy thousand persons marooned.
Fifteen thousand residences submerged
One hundred and twenty miles of streets
inundated.
Five hundred persons provided for in
rescue stations.
Five hundred horses killed.
One thousand automobiles damaged
These were tentative figures of damage
that placed Dayton's pecuniary loss at
$25,O00O0O, estimated by persons who had
explored part of the flood area.
Several statisticians set the loss at a
higher figure. but most expert opinion
agreed on $25,000,000 1t was said 200t
residences were damaged TO the extent
of $1,000 EACH 6000 homes were classified
under damage figures of $1,000 and it was
believed 1000 could not be repaired for
less than $500 each.
Damage to buildings in the business
district was set at conservative fig
ure of 100000 and it was believed this
amount would apply to stocks of stores.
Figures available at manufacturing
plants which suffered. placed damage un-
DER this head at 100000. The loss on
automobiles was set at 100000, this figure
having been based on an estimate of at
least 1000 machines damaged. 1t was be-
lieved the damage to household goods
would mount into the millions, because
in many sections of the submerged area
water reached to the second floors of hun
dreds of houses.

No matter whether every organ and

stomach is in amy way disordered, you
are not going to be yourself" You
are going to be worried, out-of-sorts,
nervous or sullen individual whose
actions Will reflect your condition in

you.
So. If your stomach refuses to work
or can't work, and you suffer from
eructations, bloat, brash, fermentation,
bliousness. sour stomach, heartburn
Irritation, indigestion, dyspepsia of
whatever form, just take one or two
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and see

Col Dan Kingman, head of the special

Steel Rails Free
Under last years schedules steel rails
were fixed at a rate of l per cent. MIR.
Gary's testimony before the Stanley COM
mittee in its investigation of the United
States Steel corporation was so convinc-
ing to members of Congress that there is
no occasion for any duty on steel rails
that suggestion of a tariff on them
could hardly be taken seriously. The bur-
den of Mr. Gary's testimony upon this
subject was to the effect that under an
understanding with foreign manufacturers
OF steel rails there was little fear of any
great importation of rails into the United
States, and in addition the Steel corpora
ton frequently sold rails abroad cheaper
than the fixed price of SIS per ton for the
United States.
There will be little If any change in the
wool schedule, unless these changes
come from amendments either in the
House or Senate.

You Should
Enjoy Your Meals
One of the Most Important Questions
to Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health

If your stomach cannot digest Your
food what will? Where's the relief?
The answer is in Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. because, as all stomach trou-
bles arise from indigestion and because
one ingredient of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets is able to thoroughly and COM
pletely digest 5000 grains of food. doesn't
it stand to reason that these tablets
are going to digest all the food and
