Chicago, April a0.--Chicago packers
may suffer a property loss Of approx
mately 100000 IN the San Francisco
disaster. The Armour, Swift. and Morris
firms have branch houses there. from

Arthur Meeker, general manager Of
the Armour Packing Company. said
early yesterday morning that his firm
had about $4,000 invested in their
branch house. The building is leased
one ard i. within the fire zone. The
fact that no word has been received
from the western manager induced the
belief that tile plant has been destroyed
in the con6agfation.
The Morris house also maintained a.
branch establishment in san Francisco

"A DIFFERENCE
IN LUNGS.

In the Edinburgh Uni
vcrsity three human lungs lie
side by side. One is Of an
Eskimo and is snow white.
In life, this would be ruddy
with rich blood. Another is
that of a coal-miner and is
black. The other is Of a town
dweller and IS a dirty slate
gray, as are the lungs Of most
city residents. That's why
consumption thrivos in cities.
One reason why SCOTS
Emulsion does SO much to
keep down consumption IS
because it helps to Keep the
lungs clean and supplies
them with rich, red blood. It
