STEEL DEMAND INCREASES.

Demand for steel, outside of rails
is such that fourteen new open
hearths at the Gary works OF the Mi
nois Steel company are to be placed
in operation beginning a month from
now. This will make forty-two open
hearth furnaces or eighteen more
than there is at the monster South
Chicago steel works. OF the eight
blast furnaces at Gary works seven
are in active commission the highest
number In the history of the plant.
The starting or the new open
hearths increases the steel producing
capacity of Gary works by fifty per
cent. Since steel is in such demand
for structural, merchant and other
requirements which are taking every
possible pound that can be made it IS
difiult to see what would happen
were the railroads to prompt immedi-
ate operation of all rail mills. AS 1t
is Gary's rail mill has started to run
again.

ADJUSTMENTS AND DRINK.

Ten years ago, if the suggestion
had been made that the popularizing
of amuseInents would result in such
decrease In the consumption of in
toxicants that scores of saloons would
be compelled to go out of the business
it would have been secuted as foolish.
That is exactly what is the matter
with the saloon business in the cities
of this region and scores of other
cities of it's size. The saloons used
to be called the poor mans club.
After a hard days work the aver
age man instinctively sought some
