WHAT accounts for the inn
w mediate success Of this
speedy new dentifrice? Certainly
not the price alone.
While it is true that at 25f
Listerine Tooth Paste accom-

dentifrices costing double that
amount, this would not carry it
SO quickly to a position among

1t is the combination of out
standing quality, unquestioned
results, and a reasonable price,
that has done the trick.
Naturally, such a price for such
a paste is made possible only by
ultra-modern methods of manu-.

LINTON WOMAN
TRIES SUICIDE
Mrs. ]. O. Spencer Shoots Self
Twice; Has Fair Recovery
Chance

Believed discouraged because hel
husband left her q few days ago
Mrs. j. O. Spencer, Linton, is in a
Bismarck hospital today with a fair
chance of recovering after shooting
herself in the left breast twice in
an attempt at suicide last night.
Mrs. Spencer, about 80 years Of
age, wife Of q Linton pood hall pro-
prietor, shot herself with .38 cali
bre revolver. Found wounded by
neighbors, she was rushed to Bis
marck hospital early today, where
she is reported resting easily this
morning.
Both bullets passed through her
body coming out under her left arm.
She was alone at her home at the
time of the attempted self-destruc-
tion. She has no children. Mrs.
Spencer had been managing the pool
hall in the absence Of her husband.
The woman has said nothing since
her attempted suicide, but Linton
friends say she has been grieving
since her husband left. She had not
told anyone that she contemplated
killing herself. No reasons are CIV
en- by Linton people or the woman
for her husband leaving her. Where
he is is not known, but it is believed
efforts will be made to locate him.
The wounded woman had had no
visitors this morning and attending
physicians stated that she needs
quiet and rest.

He Counts Unburied Dead

West Palm Beach, Fla, Sept. 22.-
R-Disease and rising Of flood
waters menaced relief operations in
the Florida Everglades today, q Of
ficial estimates Of loss Of life in
last Sundays hurricane passed the
1900 mark.
The first outbreak Of disease oc-
Cured at Clewiston, on the south.
western shore of Lake Okeechobee.
where many r-f-~ees had gathered.
Fort Myers sent q doctor, two
nurses, and three trucks filled with
supplies, when Chief Of Police C. G.
Enos Of that city reported that his
relief expedition had discovered 10
cases Of influenza.
Governor John w. Martin, who
with other high officials completed
q survey Of the Pahokee disaster
area on the eastern shore of Lake
Okeechobee. was authority for the
statement that the whole Of the
Everglades was flooded.
In an official statement renewing
his appeal to all Florida to contrib
ute. and speedily, to the Everglades
refugees, the governor described
flood conditions as follows:
Everglades Flooded
For q radius of Is to 80 miles
just back Of the high ridge Of land
that separates Lake Okeechobee
from the Everglades, the land is
completely covered with water.
These people are unable to get out
or off this ridge of land adjacent
to the lake because Of miles Of water
which surround it on both sides.
and sufficient boats are not avail
able to handle the situation. Con-
nors highway, the only road to this
territory, is under water for nine
miles. The entire Everglades are
flooded"
The governor was moved to tears
during his inspection trip yesterday,
and he could hardly speak when he
turned to Attorney General Davis
and said:
Fred, did you ever see anything
like this condition? It is the worst
sight ! have ever seen in my life"
In q statement on his return to
Palm Beach the governor described
the condition Of which he spoke:
Counted 27 Corpses
To-day in travelling six miles on
the road between Pahokee and Belle
Glade (where the hurricane was be-
lieved to have exacted its heaviest
toll in lives) I counted 27 corpses
which had not been taken from the
water. The total number Of dead
lying on the roadside and not vet
buried, but in plank coffins, num-
bered 126. This should be added to
the 5S7 already inferred. Fifty
seven additional bodies were hauled
out today in trucks, and tonight four
truckloads of bodies were brought
from adjacent areas by boat, loaded,
and sent to Palm Beach for burial.
when the water recedes and the
dead are taken from under the de-
bris cast up by the storm, the total
number who perished in this disas-
ter, carefully estimated by the most
reliable people living in this section,
will number at least 1900. and
bodies are being discovered under
the debris and in the water hourly.
"The area visited by me today
does not begin to cover the stricken
territory, and / mention these con-
ditions in an appeal to the people Of
the state of Florida, urging them to
respond quickly and generously"
