Some Steel News

There are more Indications than have
appeared in months. according to the
Iron Age, that the railroads have reach
ed their limit in postponement of
equipment buying. In the week new

Its order for 1000 by placing 5000 for
the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and 1t

swept aside by recent transactions in

weeks of the year
The filing of the government suit
against the steel corporation has had a
| depressing effect on the steel markets
| throughout the country, according to
the Iron Trade Review. but a rather
remarkable fact is that since the filing
of the suit the corporation itself has
enjoyed a good increase in business in
practically all lines except rails The

Iron Age in its issue of yesterday takes
very optimistic view OF the situation.

Grand Trunk has bought 1000 cars

The Baltimore and Ohio now is figur-

will buy 500.
The wire trade has not been great
ly stimulated by the lower prices OF
the last ten days. In the south the
Pittsburgh basing has been swept aside
by recent transactions in wire and wire
nails at prices lower than in many
months.
Pig iron markets have had one of
the quietest weeks of the year. Raw
material prices for 1912 are entering
more largely into the calculations of
buyers and sellers and the trade is
pretty much at sea on that question.
Whether the steel corporation suit
has already been a factor in the iron
and steel markets is merely a matter of
opinion. Where buying has fallen off,
that has been the reason given: but

Quickly Cures Coughs,
Colds and Catarrh.

If you, dear reader, could spend an
hour looking over few of the
thousand of testimonials that we have
on file, you would not go on sufferin g
from catarrh, that disgusting disease
that will surely sap your vitality and
weaken your entire system if allowed
to continue
You would have just as much faith
in Hyomei as we have, and we have
so much confidence in its wonderful
curative virtue that it is sold the
country over under positive guarar-
tee to cure catarrh, Group, sore throat,
coughs and colds or money back.
No stomach dosing when you
breathe HYOMEI. Just pour few
drops of the liquid into the inhaler,
and breathe it in.
1t is mighty pleasant to use; il
opens up those stuffed-up nostrils in
two minutes, and makes your head
feel as clear as bell in a short time.
Breathe HYOMEI and kill the ca
tarrh germs. It's the only way to
cure catarrh. It's the only way to get
rid OF that constant hawking, snutfling
and splitting.
A complete HYOMEI outfit, which
includes bottle of Hyomei and a
hard rubber pocket inhaler, costs 81 90
at druggists everywhere or at Wikle.
Hodges Drug Co, If you already own
Hyomei inhaler you can get an ex-
ira bottle of Hyomei for so cents.

How Sea Birds Drink.


Under the headline, Where Do They
Get Water? a writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: when
| was a cabin boy | often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day squall answered that ques-
ton for me. 1t was hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud APP
peared all of a sudden Then out OF
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out
storm a long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under it,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going. New York Trib'
une.
