FIRE AT
PACKERS

Famed by high wind that car
ried burning brands to mills and
factories of the tideflats district
and threatened to destroy a large
part of the manufacturing section,
fire In the slaughtering depart
ment Of the Carstens Packing Co.
at midnight Monday destroyed
buildings and property worth
S175,000.
Only by desperate efforts of
firemen and mill employees, was
the big plant of the st. Paul &
Tacoma Lumber Co. saved.
+ Tne Carstsns loss is covered by
100000 insurance. Thomas
Carstens, sole owner, announced
Tuesday morning that he would
rebuild. 1t is the third time in
three years that the big packing
plant has suffered from disastrous
fires.
Wool Fire Hot.
Monday nights blaze apparent
ly started in the wool-drying room,
where a similar fire last November
originated.
Dry as powder, the wool caused
an intensely hot fire, and by the
time firemen from the tideflats
station, 200 yards away, had ar
rived, there was no hope of saving
the building.
Firemen spent the entire night,
until a. m, preventing the blaze
from spreading to other portions
of the plant, and extinguishing
minor fires in other parts of the
manufacturing district, caused by
flying sparks and burning sticks.
Fire Tug Not Present.
Seven engine companies, re-
cruited from all parts of the city,
were on hand.
Probably the greatest loss was
in large quantity of cured hides,
which Tere to have been shipped
out of the plant this week. The
building loss amounted to $4,000.
The lard room, killing and dry
ing rooms were totally destroyed,
and will cause a complete tenn
porary tie-up of work.
AS on the occasion of the last
fire, Tacomas fireboat was unable
to reach the scene because of low
water in the Carstens' slough.

If Food DiSagreeS
Drink Hot Water

When food lies like lead in your
stomach and you have that UNI
comfortable bloated feeling and
your stomach is sour and burning
1t is usually because of insuffi-
cient blood supply to the stomach
combined with acid and food fer
mentation.
In such a case the best and
safest treatment you can possibly
use is to take a teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesia in half a
glass of water as hot as you can
comfortably drink it. The hot
water draws the blood to the
stomach and the bisurated mag
nesia, as physicians can tell you,
! is a~powerful but harmless ant
acid which quickly neutralizes the
excess acid, sweetens your stom-
ach contents and stops food fer
lmentatoin.
This hot water and magnesia
treatment is far better plan than
that of swallowing some pill or
tablet which simply artificially di-

a sour, fermenting acid mass in
to the intestines where it will do
almost as much harm as In the
stomach.
AS there are various forms of
magnesia be sure in following
above directions to ask the drug
gist for Bisurated Magnesia
(either in powder or tablet form
which is especially prepared for
correction of stomach acidity.
Try this simple plan of using
Bisurated Magnesia after meals to
prevent food fermentation and to
neutralize stomach acidity. You
will be astonished at the immedi-
ate relief and comfort that al
ways follows the restoration of
the normal process of digestion.
