Joe Clear, of Eaton, walked into Dayton this morning and up-
ton 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 run 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 Richmond, 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 BrookvilU:, according to reports from Connersville

SITUATION IN DAYTON. DAYTON, O., 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. Only remote suburbs escaped being covered by the seething flood. The crest was reached shortly after midnight and the water is now falling half an Inch an hour. The flooded district comprises a practical circle, with a radius of a mile and a half, and in no place is the water less than six feet deep. The worst of the flooded districts includes all of North and West Day
ton, all of the odwntown sections, the
ed its height and rolled into the busi
ness section, a wall twenty feet high. The office of the Dayton News, which is owned by Governor Cox, was soon under twenty feet of water. The flocd rose to the second floor of the Algonquin Hotel and all along Main street occupants were driven to the third floors. What happened to them since no one on the outside can tell. MILITIA CAN'T CHECK THIEVES House looting began early in the night and while the local militia is on duty it is incapable of handling the situation. Incidents without number are narrated of persons in the flood district waving handkerchiefs and otherwise

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 pois
ons 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
How many died in this way
no one knows. Canoes and rowboats
are In constant danger, both by flood and fire. First the frailer buildings were swept into the stream, many showing the faces of women and children peering from th windows.
NO HOUSES ARE SAFE. These were followed by more sub
stantial brick buildings until it became evident that no house in the flood zone was safe. The houses, as a rule, floated only a few blocks until disintegrated. The flood came soon after daylight yesterday morning, after the residents had spent a night in terror. The main levee of the Big Miami broke at Webster street about 8 o'clock. An hour later the water was through in a dozen places and a wall of water ten feet deep swept through the main street just above the juncture of the Big Miami and the Mad river. . WATER WALL 20 FEET HIGH. Where the water of Stillwater river poured into the Miami the flood reach
ed away. The building was known to be in many feet of water. Gloom reigns supreme. The Algon
quin Hotel is surrounded in water up I to its third story and above this leve
in the downtown district office buildings, hotels and business houses are places of refuge. SCHOOL WITH 400 GONE A school building that was known to have housed 400 school children shortly before the water rushed in that direction is submerged and as far as can be ascertained all cf the children perished.
That is all wrong. If you will take a j
teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs tonight, ycu will . never . 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 iaut gently no griping no nausea :no weakness. Taking Syrup of Figs is a real pleasure. Don't think wou are drugging yourself; it is composed entirely of luscious figs, senna and aromatics, and constant use cannot cause injury. Ask your druggist for "Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna," and look ; for the name, California Fig Syrup Company, on the label. This is the ! genuine old reliable. Any other Fig Syrup offered as "just as good!' should ! be refused with contempt. Don't be
imposed upon.

Hair Turning Gray or Falling? -rrrTlfSt Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
It's GrsadniOther'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 ni ussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do this better than ourselves. By asking at any drug store for the ready-to-use productcalled "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy"- you will get a large 5ottle for-about, 50 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 sponge or soft brush and j draw it through your hair, taking one ' small strand at a time. This requires ! but a few moments, by morning the ; gray hair disappears and after another !
application or two is restored to its natural color and looks even more beautiful and gloesy than ever.
