STEEL TRADE
STANDS STILL
New Business Shows Nomi-
nal; Week One of the
Poorest in Year.
FINISHED BARS IN DEMAND
Crop Outlook Encourages Implement
Makers; Railroad Buying Poor.

Specifications for all lines of finished
material in the iron and stel trade con-
tinue good in Chicago district. but the
amount of new business is nominal in
character. the week just closed having
been one of the poorest of the year in
that respect.
Steel bars lead in activity among the
finished lines. largely owing to the ex-
cellent crop outlook in the middle west.
with resultant orders from the manu-
facturers of agricultural lines. Bar
iron has receded to it's former price of
1920 Chicago. and low prices on steel
bars are still IN evidence. notwithstand-
ing the activity in this line Track
bolts have been shaded soc ton.
Aside from an order for 1900 tons of
standard rails from the Illinois Steel
company by the Canadian Pacific and
the fact that the Chicago. Indianapolis
and Louisville railway is taking prices
on 1000 gondolas, there is nothing
special to note in railroad buying.
Pig Iron Market Stronger.
| In the pig iron market an encourag
ling note is the fact that the foundries
are not delaying in taking out the ton
mage specified in their contracts and
that practically al hold over deliveries

tinue to hold out for 5000, Birming

Furnaces are not particularly active
in seeking business beyond the close o.

inquiry for next year. This is Target,

To Fix Tax Levy.

Gary's common council will meet to-
night and the principal business that
will come before 1t will be the fixing of
the levy for the ensuing year.
1t is expected that the city levy will
be 1.60. This amount will bring the
city government 100000 for 1912.
Completion of the budget estimates
made by department heads show that
about $4,000 a month $1,000 per
working day will be required to conduct
the city OF Gary for next month.
Usually this amount is greater and
the chances are that the city will spend
about $35o.000 before the year 1912 Is
passed.

They f1ocked into his office from all parts of the City and all parts of the state and many cases came under my personal obser. vation. I remember particularly the case of a young boy, Joe Goldberg was his name. His spine had been injured several years ago. causing hip joint disease. The boy had wasted away, lost all his physical health and could scarcely get around on crutcln- es. I don't know what the doctors called it-spina1 meningitis, hip joint disease, etc. What I do know is that he was most pitiful wreck of what had been a strong boy. Little Joe ff r seven years, hobbled and dragged himself along the streets. Many doc tors tried to cure this boy and all failed, and the boy had given up all hope of ever getting any better The La Vita man invited him to see his medical experts.

 The Ringlings this season are trav- cling in four sections comprising SC cars, and posted. Bridgeport knows that means a big show. The tented area is also larger than ever; as is the whole equipment. Many innova- tions have been made in the tent ar engagements. New seat devices have been introduced, and the grand stand is supplied with chairs as comfortable as sthose of a modern theatre. The tents are lighted both by electricity and gas, which is made on the lot. The circus family includes 1,2S0 peo- pie. 6SO. horses, 40 elephants, and nearly a thousand wild beasts.
 The arenic and aerial bills have been enthusiastical complimented every where. Every available novelty, elite equestrian events, agile acrobat ic acts, and astounding aerial achieve ments that Europe could offer has been imported for this show. It will be noticed that it is beautifully dressed circus. and given with that speed. which has ever marked Ring ling performance.

BRIDGEPORT LADY RELIEVED
 OF MANY GALL STONES BY
 LA VITA TREATMENT.

Had Suffered for Years, Was in a
 Dangerous Condition-La Vita
 Treatment Succeeded After Others
 Fafled-Lilxe Others to Know It.
 Many Remarkable Cures.
 This is a testimonial for women who are sick and Respondent, and deals with the cure of woman well known in Bridgeport and vicinity; it is well worth reading. As Ella Wheeler Wilcox says, it is a beautiful thing to die; but it is terrible thing to be sick, poor and miserable while you lice. In chronicling the results of the La Vita medical experts treat nent, I do so in the case of this woman. I have not trusted anything to memory, but have investigated about the La Vita treatment, and I think it duty to let the public know the full truth and details of this wonderful treatment.
 Asked for Case.
 q A representative then asked the La Vita man if he would consent to give the name and address of one woman whom his doctors had cured while here in Bridgeport. This he gladly consented to do. and called my. attention to the case of Mrs Feli- cia Maddoloni, who lives at 1S46 Main street.
