The lack of anything like- an epidemic
of disease since the disaster haa surprised
even the medical men, even where sanitary
condition are most Unsatisfactory. Prob
ably there has. been less sickness at the
Presidio camp than any of the others, and
this may be attributed to the fact that the
people there have been sheltered,, fed and
directed by the army officer.
Local Committee Handles Fnadn. , '
The president' proclamation Issued to
day has had a cheering effect. The local
finance committee and the Red Cross are
acting together and the work of relief Is
being conducted In a systematic manner.
A force of expert accountants has been en
gaged, an auditing and supervising com
mittee appointed and every dollar con
tributed will be, accounted for.
Secretary Metcalf Is so overwhelmed with
relief contributions that he ha been un
able to compile any authentto total to. date.
He said on thia subject of contribution:
"These contributions are ao numerous
and come so rapidly that I have' simply
been unable to more than record them.
Mayor Schmlts believes the sum total to
be between $4,000,000 and $0,000,000, but I
am reasonably positive that the total .1
above $il,OO0,00O.
The total amount of the relief fund up
to and Including Tuesday, April 24. a re
ported by the committee on finance, was
$2,S6,43tt.05. Of this amount $2.11.71.05, was
from out of town 6urctB,;'hlle the. local
subscriptions . amounted to $190,000. .'"
These figures are considerably lower than
those published unofficially on several oc
casions but' the finance committee take
cognisance only of those subscriptions of
which It has been definitely. Informed.
rerlshabte Food Not Wasted. '
' The food committee reported that all
necessary provisions were on .hand . and
obtainable. They said that they were even
overwhelmed with provision.. Perishable
food la causing trouble. Mayor Schmlts
drew up a telegram which waa to b sent
over the entire V'nited Statea requesting
all sources of relief to refrain from sending
perishable food. Food supplies should be
limited to staple. '

the first coin to be snt from its vaults.
The money waa transferred to Oakland for

Money was received at th mint during
the day from a variety of sources or safe

he had received a call from the banker pf

would be at their disposal.':

tal of 739 trains, ' with S.U0 car. During
th same period about fifty trains, with 600
cars, were run from points between Third

Southern Pacific officials today stated
that their estimate- of th people who had

have returned. Travel outwardbound has
been steadily railing; off In "volume sine

bay up to noon was but little In excess of

Including, the donation of E.H. Harrl

at nearly $l,600,ono. In accounting for the

to the Treasury department to ease his con
science. Thia veteran enlisted during the
period of .the civil war when ITncle Sain
was paying a bounty of $100 to each vol
unteer. The Lincoln man enlisted and
served honorahl-, but through an error In
bookkeeping he .jecclved $133.33, or $33.33
more than he was entitled, to under th
bounty ' provislbn. ' 'J'pday he returned thl
amount, minus interest, however, but the
treasury officials were so surprised to re
ceive the money on an account almost for
gotten that they took no notice of the lack
f Interest. . Th veteran In his letter ex
plained that. he bad known all these year
that he had been overpaid, but had re
frained from making restitution because
he? deemed he had been, unfairly treated by
the pension hureau In the matter of his
claim for pension.. Evidently he has

Says the Body
Is Like a Watch
If You lo Not Keen It "Wound l'p"
It I Certain To "Hun Down."
A phylcan, writing of the human body,
compare R to a watch. The heart la the
mainspring, the stomach th regulator and
what w put into It the key by which th
machine I wound up. According to tha
ouality of what w eat and how w digest
It will be the pace of the pulse and the
action of th system In aeneral.
Good food, well digested, will give you
strength and energy. Without good food,
which vour stomach can digest easily you
will "run doan,"' Just Ilk a watch runa
dowa If it Is not wound, snd Just a surely.
N1 other food Is o rl h In nutrition a
Malta-Vita, and w know of no other so
easily digested. This is why Malta-Vita
give the husian body so much strength
and energy.
Malta-Vita is the wluile of the best white
wheat, ' cooked snd steamed, mixed with
Fiure barley malt extract, then rolled Into
ittl waferlike flakes and baked crisp and
brown. The wheat contains every food ele
ment required by the human body. In Its
naturjU form, however, the wheat Is not
easy to digest, because of its elan h. The
exi-lustv MaHta-Vlta process overcomes
this disadvantage and turns the wheat Into
'f li Perfect Food."
Th'' "thorough ; -cooking and steaming
breaks down th starch cell and th malt
extract converts the starch Into maltose,
or malt sugar. Maltose 1 highly nutri
tious and th Waakeat stomach digest It
f-asilv. All It elements of strength and
eoeigy are taken up by the system, forming
rt h, red blood snd supplying the body
with Vitality.
