1t is important to know that the red-blood- cells are
the ships that sail in the blood stream and carry
nourishment and oxygen to all parts of the body
they build and Sustain-they also remove im-
purities from the tissues.
Whenever the number of ed-blood-c cells is mate

becomes more susceptible to the ravages of various
diseases. 1t is a great protection to health and physi-
cal well-being to keep the red-blood-cell count up
to normal. --

Peninsula

MEXICO CITY, Sept. II. Up
Upwards or 100 lives were lost In
hurricanes that ravaged the Lower
California peninsula over the week
end and descended on the Vera
Cruz Gulf coast yesterday. 1t was
estimated from dispatches today.
A report to the National Tele-
graph said more than so persons
were killed at Santa Rosalia. Low
er California. and dispatches from
La Paz, capital of the southern
district OF the peninsula, said eight
we're lost when small vessels in the
gulf were wrecked by the tempest
in addition TO a number Of ships
still missing.
Ships Interpreted
From Progreso, Yucatan. and
Vera Cruz City came reports that
numerous coastwise ships and fish
ing smacks had not been heard
from and had likely foundered or
went aground in the Vera Cruz
gale. Vera Cruz harbor was
described as clogged with the
wreckage OF small ships. Vessels
averaging between 40 and SO tons
in size were lost in the harbor, al
though their crews managed. TO
escape.
Communications with Bcca del
Rio and Alvarado were disrupted
and IL was feared heavy damage
was caused in those towns. where
the center OF the hurricane be-
lieved TO have struck.
1T was estimated more than
100000 would be necessary To re-
pair the damase IN Vera Cruz City.
A number o. houses were unroofed.
trees were uprooted and docks and
warehouses were demolished. The
damage to shipping in the port was
included In this figure.
Shortage Looms
Troops were searching the ruins
in Santa Rosalia and maintaining
order in the face Of a shortage Of
food and water. Although rail con-
nections with TT Boleo mine we're
disrupted. IL "a understood the
mine had been flooded. Losses at
the mine were said to be about
$500. 900.
The American freighter Perkins
was caught in the tempest and an
officer and a seaman were was ed
overheard. The ship returned to
port here considerably 4 aged.
