IRON MARKET HAS
 SCORED ADVANCE
Main Subject Discussed is the Probable Extent of
 the Gains

Cleveland, Ohio March 14. - The Iron Trade Review this week says:
 "The week has brought further gain in strength to the Iron market, with an advance in Bessemer pig, Bessemer bil- lets and plates, and in some markets in foundry iron. But matter of more mo- ment to consumers than the changes of the week Is to what extent the advances will continue in the near future and what effect the increase in profit will have upon capacity that has been idle because of the low level of values.
 Finished materials have shown we'll sustained strength through the quiet period of the year and are now making conservative advances that are dragging pig iron along. although at slower pace, apart from ,Bessemer, iron, which quite cut loose from foundry and forge These things are happening with ore prices still unestablished for this year and with coke marked up 25c, and the prospect of being higher when the furnaces come to make contracts for the second half of the year. Thus raw materials are likely to be es- tablfshed on basis that will require a further advance in pig iron, and particu- larly in foundry and forge. to encourage idle furnaces to enter into the lists in any considerable number.
 'The Bessemer Iron market has fol- lowed closely the advances in steel. From sl5 one week ago the price has gone squarely to SIS at valley furnaces on de- liveries in the second quarter.
 There has developed a short supply on the part of certain large steel works whose full blast furnace capacity will not be available for some weeks"

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts On the Same Sub
 feet.

We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegetar- ianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never in tended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years In robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 than formulate theories about the food they ate A warm welcome was extended to any kind from becon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best
 AS compared with grains and vegeta- bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily cor
 
 pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat eggs or other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be ex- perenced if a regular practice Is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure It's proper digestionAN by the daily use of a safe. harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the natural digestive principles, pepsin diastase, fruit acide. and salts, which ac- tually perform tn work of digestion Cheap catharttc medicines, masquerad- ing under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual di- gestion of food
 Dyspepsia in all it's many forms is simp- ly failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and c,~e the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which is en- dorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciples.

The leading novelette, is entitled "The Tanning of Sylvia" and Is by Elizabeth Duer. who Is perhaps better known to Knickerbock- CT society as Mrs James c. King Duer. This story gives the author very high place among the popular writers of to- day. It Is light, bright and charming. and the somewhat difficult conversion of the hoyden, Sylvia, the granddaughter of "the General" a millionaire gentle man of the old school,' into a proper young lady of society and matrimonial subject, will be followed by the reader with intense amusement. Robbie, her side partner" objects strongly to what he solemnly considers her ruin. You know, Countess he says, 'I can't ap- prove of it. When I had charge of Syl she was in first-class condition. She could skate all the morning and ride all the af- ternoon without turning a hair; but look at her now. How she has gone off. You haven't felt her muscle lately. I suppose? Why, I don't believe that if she hit me now she could make me feel 1t, and last month I almost staggered, can tell you, when she planted good left-hander."
