Default How do I sum numbers from cells that contain text

I would like to combine numbers and text in the same cell, and sum the
numbers at the bottom of a column. Is there a way I can do this? The text
has no numerical value, and I wish the function to ignore it entirely.

Example of what I need:

art show 10
trade show 18
store 14

42 (total of numbers in cells)

Any clues appreciated! -Nick
