HURTS PATENT MEDICINE Home Prescription
 Now Used. IT RELIEVES WORST CASES DIRECTIONS FOR MIXING AT HOME TO MAKE THE KIDNEYS ACT. Overcomes Chronic Cases of Rheumat- ism and Urinary weaI<ness-Few Sufferers wnI Fail to Find
 Ready Relief in This sim-
 pie Mixture.

To make up enough of the "Dande- lion treatment" which is claimed to be relieving nearly every sufferer who uses 1t for backache. kidney complaint, sore, weak bladder and rheumatism. get from any good prescription pharm- acy one-half' ounce Fluid Extract Dah- delian. one ounce Compound Kargon and three ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take in teasponful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 Those who have tried 1t claim that 1t acts gently but thoroughly on the kidneys, relieving backache and blad- der trouble and urinary difficulties al- most instantly. Many cases of rheumat- ism are known to have been relieved within a few days, the pain and swell ling diminished with each dose.
 A well-known local druggist. who Is in Q position to know asserts that this prescription. wherever 1t becomes known. always ruins the sale of the numerous patent medicine rheumatism cures, kidney cures, etc.. It is a recipe which the majority of patent medicine manufacturers. and even certain physi- clans dislike to see published. Few cases. indeed, which will fall to fully yield to its peculiarly soothing and healing influence. Being composed of common everyday ingredients. which can be had from any druggist, 1t makes up a good. honest and harmless reries dy and at nominal cost.

ORDERS FOR STEEL RAILS.
Manufacturers Hopeful Business VIII Be Resumed.

Pittsburg, Nov, 7-Predictions are being made that the delay of the rail- roads in placing orders for steel rails will be ended within thirty days when, 1t Is expected that there will be up- wards of from 100000 to s,oo0.0oo tons of new orders placed.
 The importance of these predictions, should they materialize, to the iron and steel trade of Pittsburg. Is hard to oyerestimate. The vast tonnage, amounting to at least s56,0o0.000 will place the trade in its normal condition and strengthen every other branch or the steel industry. Recently 1t was announced that there were seventeen corporation furnaces blown. One re- suit will be the forcing of the ma5ori- ty of these furnaces to resume opera tions.
 The conferences between the rail- roads and the steel manufacturers over the process of rail manufacture has drifted along for months longer than anticipated. The agreement said to be reached, provides for an optional per- centage of cropping new ratis.
 Under the old process, eight per cent soundness of the remainder. Experts claimed this is too small and recom- mendation that it be increased to fif- teen per cent was made. To offset the additional cost that this would mean to manufacturers it is said. 1t has been agreed that this cropping will advance the price of rails.
 Under the old arrangement rails sold for $28 a ton. which price. 1t Is said. will. advance to $31 ton under the new arrangements.
