Joe Clear, of Eaton, walked into Dayton this morning and up
on reaching the Third Precinct police station in the devastated city secured telephonic communication with Arch Raney, editor of the New Paris, O., Mirror. Clear informed Raney that the conservative estimate upon the number of lives lost in that city was ten thousand. "Many people in this city, who have been successful in escaping the flood, are starving to death," Clear told Raney. "It is a physical "impossibility to secure food. We want help here. Do what you can to get into Richmond and notify them that it is imperative that we get some kind of food here. Anything will do." Joe Clear also telephoned Chief of Police Gormon, from the Third Precinct police station asking for aid. "For God's sake send us as many volunteers as you can and send up some potatoes and bread. We must have it or the death list will run up into many more thousands." Mayor Zimmerman, upon receipt of the news, declared that he was ready to send men and provisions to Dayton as soon as the Pennsylvania railroad can get through. Mayor Zimmerman is now at the city building, anxiously awaiting word from local railroad officials as to when they can get a train through to the devastated city. Because of the washouts along the Dayton division of the Pennsylvania railroad, local railroad officials declare that it will be late tonight or tomorrow morning before a relief train can be frun into Dayton. The Bayer bakery is prepared to send 1,000 loaves of bread to Dayton. Every automobile leaving this city this morning was filled with as many loaves of bread as could be placed in the machines. Other Main street merchants have signified their intention of doing whatever they can to aid the suffering at Dayton.
At 11 :30 o'clock this morning the special meeting of the Commercial Club decided to order an automobile truck to go to the site of the old Sycamore bridge, east of the city, which was washed away by the storm and report immediately upon the amount of lumber it would require to construct a bridge across the creek. As soon as this report is made auto trucks loaded with timber will be sent to that scene and a bridge will be hastily constructed in order that automobiles loaded with provisions can be sent through to Dayton. An auto truck of the McKee Auto Service, started for Dayton shortly after 11 o'clock this morning, carrying ten passengers, all of whom have relatives in Dayton.

All efforts to confirm the report of. a heavy loss of life in Brookville, on the Whitewater river south of Rich
mond, were fruitless today, owing to the fact that wires out of Richmond in that direction are completely prostrated. An Indianapolis dispatch early this morning says:
Heavy loss of life at Brookville was reported in a message received yesterday afternoon by Ed Stinger, a clerk in the auditor of state's office, from the county assessor of Franklin County. The message had been sent over Connersville. All communications with Brookville, according to reports from Connersville was broken off soon after the message came to Mr. Stinger, and all efforts to gain further information concerning the loss of life reported in the meager dispatch failed. Mr. Stinger formerly lived at Brookville, and he was much concerned last night about the safety of friends and relatives. The message to Mr. Stinger, containing the only information from Brookville obtainable last night, read as follows: Reports Heavy Loss of Life. "Levee broke. Valley flooded, with heavy loss of life. Paper mill destroyed, depot, swept away, all bridges out. Tell the Governor."
Governor Ralston was notified at
once, and he immediately made at-1 tempts both by telephone and tele-j graph to learn if state aid were re-j quired. The Governor-expressed hope; V lstaa H f hail T- If An Oil ?r9t I

SITUATION IN DAYTON. DAYTON, 0., March 26. This city Is a river three miles wide. The water from six to twenty feet deep, extends a mile and a half each way from Main street,' the principal business thoroughfare. The deepest water Is in the business section.

If headachy, bilious, dizzy, tongue coated, stomach sour and full of gas, you belch undigested food and feel sick and miserable, it means that your liver is choked with sour bile and your thirty feet of bowels are clogged with effete waste matter not properly carried off. Constipation is worse than most folks believe. It means that this waste matter in the thirty feet of bowels decays into poisons,
gasses and acids and that these poisons are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. Most people dread physic. They think of castor oil, salts and cathartic pills. They shrink from the after effects so they postpone the dose until they get sick; then they do this liver and bowel cleansing in a heroic way they have a bowel washday
That is all wrong. If you will take a teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs tonight, you will Taever realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the poisonous matter, sour
bile and clogged up waste will be moved on and out of your system, thoroughly but gently no griping j no nausea no weakness. Taking Syrup of Figs is a real pleasure. ! Don't think wou are drugging your- j self; it is composed entirely of lus-!

Ask your druggist for "Syrup of I
Figs and Elixir of Senna," and look ; for the name, California Fig Syrup j Company, on the label. This is the genuine old reliable. Any other Fig j Syrup offered as "just as good" should be refused with contempt. Don't be ; imposed upon.

Hair Turning Gray or Falling? Just Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
It's Grandmother's Recipe for Dandruff and Restoring Color to Hair.
Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also cures dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is musty and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this letter than ourselves. By asking at any drug store for the ready-to-use pro- ' duct called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy"-ryou will get a I large bottle for about SO cents. Some
druggists make their own but it's usually too sticky, so insist upon getting "Wyeth's" which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is the best remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and to stop falling hair. Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur" because no one can positively tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly, says a well known down-town druggist. You
dampen a spouge or soft brush and ! draw it through your hair, taking one i
small etraud at a time. This requires but a few moments, by morning the gray hair disappears and attar another application or two Is restored to its natural color and looks even more beautiful and glossy than ever.
