G0RGED BY FIRE
Big Confagration Occurs at West
Bay City.
LOSSES AMOUNT TO 500, 600
Fire Started in Crump Manufacturing
Co.'s Plant, Whose Buildings Were
Entirely Consumed - Lumber and
Freight Cars Burned.

Bay City, Mich, Jan. 2S.--West Bay
City was visited by disastrous fire
last night. 1t started in the plant of
the Crump Manufacturing Co. about
GAS and in three hours had laid waste
that institution, with warehouses and
lumber sheds; destroyed 100000 feet
of oak lumber belonging to Capt.
James Davidson, seven or eight cars
of logs owned by the Goldie Hoop Co.,
about 30 cars owned by different rail
roads, and so badly warped the tracks
of the Jackson division of the Michi-
gan Central that travel was for short
time delayed The fire started in the
southwestern corner of the Crump
plant and, famed by a furious west
Hind, swept rapidly through that
structure, three stories high and about
100 feet square. In five minutes every.
thing belonging to the company was
in flames From the Crump plant the
fire crossed to the Davidson shipyard
and attacked the huge piles of oak
lumber adjoining the mill, the latter
structure and several boats in course
of construction being saved only by
the hardest kind of work. Crump's
plant cost 100000 and was insured for
$4,000. In addition to this, there is
loss of $4,000 on stock, insurance S.
900, and $1,000 on kindling wood, in
sured for about the same amount.
Davidsons loss will be about $4,000
uninsured. Goldie's loss about 81 900.
The cars burned were worth about ST.
900. The total loss approximates $780,
600, with insurance of less than half.

NOW LOOK OUT!

: stake care of yourself" say our friends
"Cll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, Yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
; BOWED. out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infiammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-wich ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid a serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
