Just Beginning to Count Cost.
Omnha, Neb. For the llist tlmo
since the disastrous tornado of Kastor
Fundny, t.lc peoj lo of Oimih.i have
junt begun to count tho cost, both In
lives and dollars. When a lesumo
was made It was apparently worse
than those who had studied the result
were willing to admit. Not less than
200 lives wero lost within the vicinity
or the cljy proper, and not lesB than
fifty persons in surrounding towns lost
their lives when the storm atruck the
city. Nearly five hundred were In
jured and eight or these died In hos
pitals Tuesday.
With the reller organization getting
down to the actual distribution of
supplies for tho needy and suffering,
comes tho uncovering of Individual
cases of pltlftil destitution and want.
Up to now It has been tho passing or
an awe-Inspiring and grewsome spec
tacle, but now Is coming the reall7a
tion or what the terrible catastrophe
means.
Temporary provision has been
made ror reeding the hungry and pro
viding shelter for the homeless, but
there Is groat need ot clothing, and
this need will undoubtedly continuo
to grow for a tlmo. Tho canvass Just
completed Phowed 2C3 people desti
tute, and 2.179 people homeless.
Tho destitution was nugmented
Tuesday when neatly three inches of
snow fell over tho district, making
entirely uninhabitable tho homes of
many who had prepared to retnln
temporary homes In partinlly de
stroyed structures.
Tho Omaha Commerclnl club has
mado a public statement of the
physical condition or the storm sec
tion. The figures give somo concep
tion of tho sweeping naturo of the
storm nnd the number or homes
which hnve been broken up, The fig
tires rollow:
Houses totally destroyed and un
inhabitable, 642.
Houses partially destroyed, 1,027. .

COLD IN
THE HEAD
It tht First Chapter In thi History
of Ghronio Disease
A cold In tho head Is tho first chap
ter in tho history of disease and death
This has been bo often repeated that
there are few people Indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of It.
A cold In tho head is rnrcly sever.
enough to confine a vigorous person,
to the houso. As a rule, it ends In
recovery without any treatment. This,
has led many people to regard n cold
In tho head as or no Importance. It Is
a terrlblo mlstako, however, to puss
by a cold In tho head as a trivial mat
ter. Every caso should bo treated.
Those who havo used Peruna ror
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses Is sufficient to re
move every vestige of tho cold. How
much better it Is to treat a cold in this
wny than It Is to allow It to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never bo eradicated.
xei tnero nro thoso who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold In the head.
This neglect Is due to the falso notion,
that a cold In tho head is hardly worth,
noticing.
A cold in tho head Is In reality a.
case of acute catarrh. It ought to be
called so, in order to awaken peopla
from their lethargy on this Bubject In
b large per cent, of cases cold in the
hcad will end In chronic catarrh. Un
less properly treated with somo such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps 60 per
cent, of cases of cold In the head will
lay tho foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful of Peruna should b
taken at the very first symptom of
cold In the hend. Usually where tho
cold Is not very severe a tablespoonful
or Peruna beforo each meal and at bed
time Is sufficient. It may be neces
sary, however, whero the attack ia
more serious, to keep Btrlctly In tho
house and take a tablespoonful or
Peruna every hour. Younger people,
feeblo or delicate women, Bhould take--a
tcaspoonful every hour.

years, and about two years ago got
into a very seriouB condition of dys

mo I would fly to pieces. I was eo
nervous that at tho least noise I was
distressed, and many times could not
straighten myBelf .up because of the
pain."
Tea Is Just as Injurious; because It
contains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee.
"My physic!? n told me I must not
rst any heavy or strong food, and or
dered a diet, giving me some medi
cine. I followed directions carefully,
but kept on using coffee and did not
get any better.
"Last winter my husband, who was
away on business, had Postum served
to him in tho family where he board

came home he brought some with him.
We began using It and I found it
moBt excellent
"While I drank it my atomach never
bothered me In the least, and I got
over my mrvous troubles. When the
Postum was gone we returned to cof
feo, then my stomach began to hurt
me as before, and the nervous con
ditions came on again.
'That showed mo exactly what was
the causo of tho wholo trouble, so I
quit drinking coffeo altogether and
kept on using Postum. Tho old trou
bles left again and havo never re
turned." "There's a reason," and It is explain
