How the San Francisco Fire Com-
Tares with othsr Similar
Horrors.

Tho industrial and commercial
losses now loom largest. The area
devastated by fire. approximate $500
acres, or about four square miles, with
In which were nearly 100 banks soma
of the finest buildings in the world,
thousands of mercantile and manu-
featuring establishments and more
than 100000 inhabitants, besides
about 10000 persons temporarily
staying there. Practically uninjured
are the homes CT 10000 people, the
great shipyards at Portrero, tho Pacific
Mail docks, the stock yards at South
San Francisco, the wharves and IN anu
factories along the waterfront from
Missouri Creek to Hunters Point, the
Mint, postofiices and a large retail
district in Fillmore and Devisadero
Streets.
The total money loss is still, OF
course, largely matter OF guesswork.
We said las. week that 100000, ,Q00
might not cover it-"might not cover
more than halt OF 1t" now seems near
er the the truth. The Chicago fire OF
1871 destroyed $195. 100000 worth OF
property. and that devastated fewer
acres (2,l20 and left about 100000
persons homeless; and Of course the
Chicago of that day was a cheap affair
in comparison with San Francisco.
The Chicago fire had hitherto been
unapproached as a dexourer oil prop
erty. In the same year the Commun-
lists set fire to Paris and destroyed
about $16O,0O0,000 worth Of property ;
next to that IN destructlveness comes
the Moscow FIRE Of 1912, where the loss
is said to have reached $3.50, Zoo, 600.
These were the three great fires OF
modern times. The London fire oil
1866 was a comparatively small affair,
ravaging 436 acres and causing a
money loss that hardly reached
$54 100000. Of the great fire In
Rome in 64 A. d. which Nero was
thought to have klndled, we have i'm
perfect details, but il it burned eight
days and destroyed fve-sevenths OF
the city, it may not have fallen lar
short OF some OF these modern mon

KILLS LIKE LIGHTNING.
How DEADLY RHEUMATISM Or THE
HEART COMES On.

Those pains you feel when you first
arise In the morning-aching pains in
the joints, shooting pains In the muscles
are signs of warning. They are dan
ger signals, evidences OF deep-seated
trouble that il not removed may affect
the entire system and cause chronic
disease, or il the cause is not removed,
they may develop suddenly into the
deadly Rheumatism OF the Heart,
which kills like lightning.
Better get rid Of the cause at once.
Rheumatism and its kindred diseases
are caused by the accumulation of
poisonous acids OF the blood. Rubbing
with oils or liniments will not cure it;
it is an internal disease, and can be
conquered only by an internal remedy.
There is just one complete cure
RHEUMACIDE. RHEU MACIDE
neutralizes the poisonous acids, sweeps
all the dangerous germs out OF the
blood and makes you well all over.
RHEUMACIDE CURES because it is
the only remedy that 'gets az the
Joints from the inside"
Mr.. w. Il. Hughes, Of Atkins, Va,
writes:

VINEYARDS IN PORTUGAL.
Grape Growers in Bad Way over In:
ability to Dispose of Stored
UP Crops.

The distress among the agricultural
laborers is taxing, in many parts OF
Portugal, the resources of the local
| authorities, especially in the wine dis
tricts of the north, where the crisis
| seems to be most acute. So keen ap-
pears to be the distress that the sub
ject has been laid before the parlia-
ment.
According TO the local press in these
districts, whose products in prosperous
times are chief source of the coun-
try's wealth, many OF The vineyard
owners have in their cellars the har-
lYcsts of two years grape growth which
they are unable to sell, except at a
huge sacrifice, and not being able to
obtain the cash on which they count
ed for help from bankers and others
to tide over bad times, they have re-
solved this year to discontinue in
many vineyards the hoelng and other
indispensable labor. This has led
to unemployment of some thousands
of hands who could otherwise have
counted upon employment.
Hunger and misery, it is said, are
seen everywhere, and the poor Starv-
ing wretches arc spreading themselves
over the country, to the detriment of
others of the working class whose lot
is but little better, and resorting to
pilfering and begging to satisfy their
needs. Instances are said BY the press
to have occurred where some men who
were considered well to dc yeomen
have solved for themselves the ques-
ton of financial difficulties by resort
ing to suicide.

Elephants Generate Electricity.

Employing elephants to generate
electricity is novel idea which is re-
ceiving attention in Indian circles, and
the utilization of elephants for work
ing dynamos is likely to become an
accomplished fact. 1t is proposed in
Bombay to employ the elephants six
hours day generating electricity
which will be stored in batteries and
used at night for lighting purposes.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotics of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless, if taken
according to the directions on each
bottle. SO used, it can be taken any
length Of time without acquiring o
drug habit.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh.
There are n multitude of homes where
Peruna has been used off and on for
twenty years.
Such n thing could not be possible
if Peruna contained any drugs of
harmful nature.
