new their pledges for another year, it
is expected that the county will far
exceed its quota.

Most laxatives and cathartics afford
only temporary relief and should be
used only for that purpose. When you
want permanent relief take Chamber

serve the directions with each package.

docs it take the sound of march

profess to have in our hearts? Is
there not in us a desire to do some
thing worth while for the suffering

the greatest problem Of the day is
combating disease. The Red Cross

ing and ~privation Wednesday night
and sprang overheard"
In these hours the thoughts of the
chief f%orecaster instinctively turned
to Galveston, which in the past had
suffered terribly from similar storms.
Dispatches from that city indicated
that the tide was rising rapidly. Wat
err was flooding the low places on the
island and people were fleeing the
city. A 3O-mile northeast storm was
blowing. But for the weather bureaus
timely warnings which had reached
Galveston before the gale struck the
city, millions of tons Of cargo and
scores of ships would have put to sea
and would have been lost. Galveston
feels that it owes much to the weather
bureau.
Texas Lashed Furiously.
In the next "a hours the storm burst
upon the Texas coast in full fury.
While the papers the next few days
were filled with the accounts of the
damage and death caused by the hur-
ricane the fact of greatest significance
and which the public has come to take
almost as a matter of course, only par
TALLY realizing the skill and respon-
sibility involved, was that the wealth
er bureau had been able to anticipate
this storm long enough in advance to
prevent a loss that probably would
have totaled thousands of lives and
millions of dollars in shipping. Ac-
counts of the disaster therefore Wis
ualize what would have been only a
fraction of the total destruction had
there been no weather bureau. Re-
ports from Houston, Texas, dated Sep
TENDER Is, declared that 100 bodies
had been found on the reefs 8, miles
from Portland, Texas. Most of the
dead, the message stated, had been
recognized as residents of Corpus
Christi. The damage in the latter city
was estimated at $4,000 00. Relief
trains were hurried to the scene and,
as if to add the latest touch of mod
ernity, airplanes were called upon to
assist in relieving the suffering, six
planes being sent on September 16
from Kelly Field with food supplies
for the stranded inhabitants. Among
the supplies dropped was 30 pounds of
yeast to be used by the relief commit
tee in making bread for the emergen-
cy.
The tragic life history of the great
storm came to an end almost as sud-
denly as it had begun. Retarded and
dissipated by the unevenness of the
land ove which it had begun to travel,
it was forced to slacken it's speed as
it made it's way toward the rugged re-
gions of Mexico. Finally, under date
of September Is, tie bureau complet-
ed the final chapter in the episode,

pated itself among the mountains of
