The advice given by the advisory
beard recommends. among other things
the dlscontinuance OF using feather
busters by house maids. The phys

Exposure to cold. over-exertion, lack

New York. Jan. 21.---The latest ad-
vices from the leading distribution CEN
ters point rather to slight weakening
tendency in the pig iron markets, says
the iron Age. Some Of the southern
makers. seeing business going almost
entirely to northern producers are
shading prices. Complaints are coming
from some foundries that business is
slow with them and they naturally hes
itate about additional purchases. Still
the tonnage. almost entirely for the
first quarter is fair.
A number OF the leading southern
interests continue to work on plan
TO harmonixe the recent differences and
to reach some common ground for
prices. In the east there has been a
little more demand for basic and low
phosphorous pig from the steel works,
where business has improved somewhat
The deadlock In the steel rail trade
continues, but It looks as though the
logic OF the situation win force the
makers to give way.
There Is a little better feeling in the
bar trade east and west. but the sheet
trade still shows symptoms Of weak
ness. The tonnage in plates and
shapes are better but will pool prices

Latest in Years.

The spring OF 1904 bids fair to go on
record as one of the latest in years.
The condition of the soil and of the
weather in general is no farther ad-
vanced than at the first of April in
years when conditions are normal.
Practically no farm work has been
accomplished. The winter has been
a hard one on much OF the land under
cultivation in all parts Of the country,
and this vicinity has not escaped the
general suffering. A little sod has
been turned over in some places, but
the earth is wet and soggy, indicating
that the frost is not out sufficiently to
soak away. Farmers are very anxious
to begin spring work, as unless plant
ing can be commenced soon many of
the crops will be in danger from early
frosts next fall. Fair weather and
sunny days have come often. only to
be followed by snow and the icy
breath of winter, until each fresh
promise of spring is regarded with

Chronic Ailment.

A small portion Of suffering which
humanity is heir to, arises from acute
diseases. These yield at once to the
ordinary practice of the schools, or
they soon battle all medical skill. But
there is a class Of complaints with
which men and women are afflicted,
that, without producing any
apparently alarming symptoms, linger
along for years perhaps, but, unless
arrested, Invariably sooner or later
prove fatal. These are the chronic
diseases which DIR. f. B. Brewer
makes, and has made for years,
speciality. And for the treatment OF
such complaints, there is probably no
physician OF the present day more
successful than he. He has made
regular visits for years, and such has
been his success in cases he has treated,
that we can safely recommend him to
those out OF health.-From the Kala-
mazoo Mich Gazette. It will be seen
that DR.. Brewer makes his next visit
at the Hotel Dixon in this city on
Thursday, May 5. Consultation is
free.

Houses Are Scarce.

The scarcity of houses is becoming
noticeable as spring approaches. Many
recent comerS to this city have found
considerable difficulty in securing
houses-in fact some Lave been
unable to rent houses at all. While
the condition works inconvenience to
those who are directly affected thereby
yet it points to the continued and
increasing prosperity which this city
is enjoying, and therefore may be
looked upon as good indication. 1t
should suggest also to those who own
vacant property that the erection of
houses thereon would prove safe and
profitable as an investment, besides
supplying badly felt need.
