Do You Want to Know
 What You Swalle V ?

There is a growing sentiment in this country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN CORPORATION. It Is but natural that one should have some interest in the compo.. sition of that which he or she Is expected to swallow, whether it be food, drink or medicine.
 Recognixing this growing disposition on the part of the public, and satisted that the fullest publicity can only add 70 the we'll earned reputation ot his medi- cines, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

 This bold and out-spoken movement on sh1 part of Dr. Pierce, has, by showing sYacby what his well-known medicines are composed of, completely disarmed aii hnrpinR critics who have heretofore un- iustIy sttacked them. A little pamphlet has keen compiled, from the standard medical authorities of all the several schools of practice, showing the strongest endorsements by leading medical writers of the several ingredients which enter ih:o a.o Dr. Pterco's medicines. copy or t1is little book Is msiled free to any, one de- IirinQ to learn more concerning the valu- Lble, native, medicinal plants which enter Into the com position of Dr. Pierce's med- lcines.

PROSPECTIVE MERGER
OF BIG STEEL PLANTS
-Four Important Concerns in Proposed
olidation-Schwab Aims to
Create Giant Corporation

NEW YORK. March Sit became
known Yesterday that negotiations are
under way for consolidation OF four OF
the largest independent steel companies
in the United States These are the
Lackawanna Steel Company. the Jones
and Laughlin Steel Company. the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation. and the La Belle
Iron Company. Wall Street regards IL
likely that the deal may be effected.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation is
controlled by Charles NJ Schwab under
whose special care and protection il is
1t is his aim and ambition to make II
a giant among steel plants. With that
end in view he is now expending about
100000 in improvements. 10 be com
pleted within fifteen months. and double
the capacity of the plants. The money
for this purpose was raised by the sale
of the 81, 100000 bond issue put out late
last year.
Mr. Schwab wants to make the Beth
Iehem steel works the greatest in the
country. and the most complete as well.
and the idea has gained ground that
he has found it necessary for reasons
satisfactory TO himself TO gather in
two or three of the big INDEPENDENT
plants.
At present the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration employs about 5000 men. and
when the capacity Of the plants is in
