 More business is slowly coming to the steel mills. but expectation of low CT prices has postponed many orders that will soon be placed. Pig iron is noticed but little active business is placed. Building operations. have not revived as rapidly as was hoped, yet the better weather Is gradually restor- buildings are about to be commenced.

 In the textile industry the most sig nifcant development Is the unanimtty with which cotton mills have announc- ed 10 per cent. reduction Tn wage' to take effect at the end cf this month. Jobbers report restricted orders and there Is also complaint regarding col lections which tends to make opera tions more conservative.

As to woolens, the slight improvement noted last week has continued. but trade is still light and chiefly in col ored worsteds.

LYDIA E. PiNKHKM

Nature and a woman's work com- bined have produced the grandest remedy for Woman's ills that the world has ever known.
 In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
 The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baf1e the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effica- cious than any combination of drugs.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 NC. St., Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
 sComplete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women am willing to make my troubles public.
 ''For twelve years had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell what suffered, and at times could hardly walk. About two years ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed 1t, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkhsm's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women"
