TOWNS BURNED
IN FOREST FIRES
IN MINNESOTA
800 Lives Lost and Property
Damaged to Extent of
100000 Thousands
Are Homeless.

DULUTH, Mimi, October 14-With
probably 500 persons dead, thousands
homeless and without clothing, and
with property damage amounting
TO millions of dollars, whole sections OF
northern Wisconsin and Minnesota
timber land today are smoldering, fire
stricken areas, with only the charred
ruins OF abandoned, depopualted
towns to accentuate the general des-
olation.
The bodies of IS victims lie in Du-
luth morgues. Hundreds more along
the roads leading to Duluth and SUI
perior lay where they fell when over
taken by the fire.
Twelve thousand homeless and pen.
niless refugees are In need OF more or
less medical attention and are quar-
tered in hospitals, churches, schools.
private homes and in the armory here,
while doctors and nurses sent from
surrounding communities attend them,
and nearly every able-bodied man in
the city has been conscripted to fight
the flames, which now are reported to
be dying away.
Reports that the holocaust resulted
from the work Of enemy agents were
circulated here last night Definite
confirmation was not available, but in.
cendiares were driven away from a
local shipyard when the fires in Du-
luth and Superior were burning at
their height. according to F. j. Lon
gren, Fire Marshal, and other city and
state officials.
Reports reaching here by courier
told of widespread destruction, but it
was evident that in most cases the
fury OF the flames was spent. Duluth
and Superior are in no further danger.
Virginia is safe and Brainerd was I'M
touched. However, peat bog fires now
0Are said to menace the latter city.
Bemidji reported only small loss.
Greatest loss of life and property
damage is believed to have occurred
in the Cloquet region, where a number
OF towns have been destroyed and all
semtrural settlements virtually wiped
out.
A special train of 90 coaches brought
1900 refugees from Cloquet and Carrie
ton. They confirmed reports that
many persons lost their lives in those
towns.

THE RICHMOND
Influenza Epidemic
Receding at Eaton

EATON, o., Oct. 14.-Church serv-
ices were dispensed with In all the
churches in the city Sunday, owing to
the wave of influenza that has prevail
ed in the city and vicinity the last
couple of weeks. So far as could be
learned, no deaths from the disease
took place here, or nearby, Saturday
or Sunday. Health authorities believe
the epidemic has reached the crest
and is now receding. Stringent regu-
lations still are in force and will con-
tinue effective until there is every
evidence that the disease has been
fully stamped out.

Weak, Run Down Woman

Tells How Vinol Made Her STRONG.
So. Kaukauna. Wis., was weak,
all run down, tired all the time, and
had Asthma so l could hardly keep
around and do my housework. After
everything else had failed to help me,
Vinol built me up and made me well
and strong Mrs. Jay Parker.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in Mrs. Parker's case, is because it
contains the necessary elements to
create an appetite, aid digestion,
make pure blood and create strength.
1t is the beef and cod liver peptones-
iron and glycerophosphates In Vinol
