DAYTON. March H. Patterson, chairman of the citizens' relief committee, issued the following state ment touay regardlrg conditions here: "Our committee has now at its disposal all the food and clothing necessary to meet the loss of the sufferers of Hayton. however, urgently is required for putting cur city in a condition to prevent the outbreak of serious disease and to rehabilitate the thousands, many of whom have lost their homes entirely, and all of whom lost their household and personal effects." A meeting of the members of the relief committee with members of the City Council was called for this afternoon. On Saturday the Council discussed a request from the relief committee that Ki0.fl00 be diverted from the sinking fund of the city to the relief fund.

Council-men Harry Klein and Gus Happel protested vigorously and made remarks rln- rogatory to the relief committee and its motives, accusing members of the latter, among other things, of trying to steal the city government. Under the present reign of martial law, modified Into a sort of commission government, the city government is without authority and there is a well-defined movement on to retain the "commission" form until the city has recovered from the flood. At a mating members of City Council d-elx red their individual willingness to co-opeiate with the committee. It waa decided to appropriate of the relief fund to the Red Cross to be expended in purchasing necessities which will permit destitute families to re-establish homes. The list of identified dead reached 60 today.

Family llcttnited. With the rapid subsiding of the flood waters and dissipating of pvnic here thrilling adventures continue coming to light. Among the most Interesting of these was the experience of the family of harles M. Adams in Riverdale. When the flood first ruhed through that section of the city Mr.

Adams got iiis wife and lO-months'-old twin girls into a skiff and took them to the home of a friend In Warder street. An hour later it was again necessary to move, and the family was taken by rescuers out of a second-plory window. The canoe in which they were being transported was capsized by tile current. Adams swam braveiv In th iv vmsr for a few niitiutes. when he was picked up by some men in a iiathoat.

Jones Bros, of Boston sent fl'X) by wire.

Red Croon ExiH-cted. The Red Cross officers and nurses have not reached the city, but are expected tomorrow. Red Cross headquarters for the state have been establ'shed at Dayton, and it is reported here that Miss ilabel Boardman, head of the organization, is now in that city. Miss Board-man is expected in Zanesvilie. An average of 130 patients are being treated in the Good Samaritan Hospital Sally.

There are 35 carloads of food, Applies and clothing within three miles vi. Zanesvilie. It is being brought in by wagon as rapidly as possible, save that being used on the west side of the river. 1 he surplus supply will be used to aid towns in the Muskingum Valley south of here. At a meeting of the Citizens" Relief Association in the Court House this morntng a report was made that Gov.

Cox had telephoned from Columbus during the morning that he expected to arrive in Zanesvilie either Wednesday or Thursday. The governor requested that the business of the relief of the citv he conducted through himself and the Citizens' Relief Association. Gov. Cox also requested that the business men furnish him immediately with an estimate of the Joss of both personal property and real estate in the city. I met I gating Iletitth.

Dr. H. T. Sutton, a local member of the State Board of Health, wired board headquarters at Columbus this morning asking for an immediate meeting of the board In Zanesvilie. He was instructed by the secretary to officially report conditions to the state capital.

Zanesvilie Is to have a flood historian. Instead of trying to forget about the disaster as rapidly as possible it appears that the residents want to remember it. Thomas Lewis was appointed flood his torian this morning. Between 3,000 and 4.000 flood refugees returned to their homes in the Seventh. Eighth and Tenth Wards today.

There probably are 2,000 persons still in the city who are unable to reach their hemes on account of the high water. Many Home Destroyed. Some of the homes have been washed away and nothing remains of once fine frame and brick residences but the lot they were built upon covered with iiiud and debris of ail description. City officials were liberal In allowing passes to go into tne flooded districts today. They wanted Rood sufferers to get to their lion.es, as quickly as possible in order that they might save what part of their furnishings or valuables remained.

The officials also were careful to keep suspicious looking persons from getting into tne nooded districts. Although looters hare been warned they will be shot on sight, a number of residences were reported robbed last night. One of the most generous contributions reported today was from Alliance. Citizens of that city sent a carload of provisions in charge of a personal representative and J5.000 In money to be- given to the general relief fund. Xcir House Lost.

A citizen of the Seventh Ward. In the heart of the flooded district, bought a new house for $2,501) last Monday. He paid the money and received a deed for the property. Tuesday the house washed away. Another instance Is related of a shirt manufacturer with a factory located at South Third street near the bridge.

Over a week ago he received an offer of to.OoO for the factory. He was to have given the prospective buyer a definite answer last Monday. He neglected to do this, and Wednesday the shirt factory was washed away. The Fifth Street Bridge, the only one in seven which stood the flood, was thrown open to traffic this morning. Thl3 bridge leads from the main part of the city to the old Seventh Ward or Terrace residence districts.

CURED NY A Friendly Scientist Showed Me How te Cure It forever WILL TELL TOI' FREE HOW TO CUBE For a lonsr time I was sorely trouhled hideous growth of Superfluous Hair on my fac and arms. My face was indeed a sight from 1 exasperating growth and I grew almost to hate myself for my unsightly appearance. Theru are many things advertised for Superfluous Hair, and I think 1 tried them all. but never with any result, except to wasts my money and burn my skin. But, notwithstanding all my years of disappointment, to-lay there is not a sign of duous Hair on my face, arms or anywhere else.

I got rid of it through following the advice of a rnenaiy Beien- tlst. a Professor of Chemistry at an EnKllsn university. The treatment he advised is no thorough, simple and easy to use that I want every other sufferer in America to know about It worked such a change in lnv appearance and my happiness, that I gladly waive my natural feelings of sensitiveness and will tell broadcast to all who are afflicted how I destroyed every trace of hair, never to return. If you are a sufferer and would like to hav full details, just send along your name (stating whether Mrs. or Miss) and address and a two-cent stamp for return postage, and I win send you in full detail the advice and instructions which resulted In my own cure after all else failed.
