600 BODIES OF FIRE VICTIMS ARE RECOVERED

Property Damage From Minnesota Forest Fires Estimated at $75,000,000. (By Associated Press) DULUTH, Minn.. Oct 15 More than COO bodies of people burned to death In the forest fires which swept over northeastern Minnesota last Saturday, had been recovered today, and It was expected this number would be Inc reasrd by three hundred and possibly four hundred when the entire devastod district has vbeen gone over. Searching parties started from Moose T,ake. Cloquet and Duluth before daybreak today and took up the work where it was left off last night when darkness made it impossible to distinguish bodies from charred and blackened tree trunks. During the night those detailed to clear the roads and rebuild bridges covered miles of territory which had been untouched by rescue workers and searching parties, and sent to relief stations many truckloads of badly burned, half starved settlers, who had escaped death by fire, and who

were found Wandering about in a daz-i

ed condition. Fire Still Smouldering. Many of the bodies brought in today bore indications that death was caused fror exposure and lack of food rather than from burns. Many dead were found with their hands swathed in rude bandages, indicating that their lives might have been saved had help reached them soon after the fire had passed. The rescue party into the Fond du Ie reservation brought reports of many deaths among the Indians. Many, however, saved themselves by taking refuge In lakes and streams until the fire passed. In the opinion of Aqjutant General W. F. Rhinow, who Is directing the rescue work, it will be at least two and possibly four more days before the work of locating and bringing in bcV?s is complete. Business men of Duluth today sent out parties of veterinarians In an effort to save some of the live stock which is wandering through the burned districts In search of food.

So far as the forest fire is concern

ed, there is little likelihood of further damage. If the wind holds from the south, fire fighters say, immediate danger is passed, but a soaking rain will be required before the menace is entirely removed. GREAT TIMBER LOSS CHICAGO, Oct. 15. Property damage by the forest fires in Minnesota amounts to $75,000,000, and the insurance will total $25,000,000, according to computations made today by insurance men here. Their estimate does not include the standing timber and the other property which was destroy

ed which was uninsured and the con

census of opinion in insurance circles Is that the loss to insurance companies is the heaviest since the San Francisco. fire in 1906. The losses to the fire risk companies will be greatest it was stated, on the large lumber properties on which war-time values are high, and on which several of the risk concerns carry lines of insurance in excess of a million dollars.

Infant Mortality in Petrograd Has Increased Fifty Percent

(By Associated Press) STOCKHOLM, Friday, Oct. 11. Infant mortality in Petrograd has Increased to fifty per cent. School statistics show from 57 to 87 per cent, of the enrolled children are absent on account of sickness. The situation is growing daily worse and the Juvenile population of Petrograd will practically be wiped out this winter unless food is provided from foreign countries. Figures on adult mortality are not available, but according to Captain William B. Webster, of the American Red Cross, who has just arrived here from Petrograd, starvation is claiming thousands, especially aged and infirm persons without resources who are unable to get food at the government restaurants or return to their native villages. In Moscow the situation is slightly better than in Petrograd, but there also it is critical. In peace times the infant mortality in Petrograd was 25 per cent, but now there is an absolute lack of milk and grain and the proper food for nursing mothers. There are 75,000 homeless children in charge of Madame Lelena, Petrograd's commissioner of social welfare, and President Iverdioff of the Russian Red Cross, facing starvation in Petrograd alone. Many of these children are orphans, while others

were turned over to the commune by

their parents who were unable to feed

them. These children are housed in hotels, barracks and other institutions in Petrograd. None is over fifteen years of age, while the majority are

under ten. Last winter the American Red Cross provided tinned milk for 50,000 children in Petrograd and Captain

Webster now is endeavoring to arrange to feed the Petrograd children next winter in co-operation with the Danish minister Skavpius at Petrograd, who proposes that shipments of milk and other food from Denmark be forwarded on Danish ships under the protection of the Danish Red Cross. , Relief through this plan must come within one month as the Finnish bay will then be frozen and shipments will be impossible by other means unless the political and military conditions change. Madame Lelena and M. Iverdioff have given the American and Danish Red Cross officials written guarantee that milk and other children's food will not go to the population other than children and that they have adequate funds to pay for supplies and the cost of distribution under proper precautions. A satisfactory distribution to needy children was made last winter through the same channels by the American Red Cross. It is estimated that the number of children who will be public charges in Petrograd before the end of the winter will be 140,000. The cholera epidemic is under control in Petrograd, but there are numerous deaths from starvation attributed to cholera and these cause alarming rumors that there is a continuation of the epidemic.

While perfectly harmless, it has the peculiar property of removinu by absorption the dead and half-dead particles of scarf-skin, as well as unhealthy matter In the pores. Thus it takes away Jront instead of adding to the complexion, differing in this respect from cosmetics. The result is a perfectly natural and healthy young complexion.
