STEEL DEPRESSION
CROWS MORE ACUTE
Reported That Large Pittsburgh
Steel Plant viii Close
Completely

Papers to-day comment on the dis
appointing developments in the iron
and steel markets. In many quarters
1t was believed that October would
show the low point in the steel depres-
sion and that operations would begin
to increase. Instead. however. further
refreshments are contemplated and
1t is reported that one large steel con-
cern in the Pittsburgh district will
close down completely this week.
The Iron Age in its summary to-
day says;
With mill operations averaging so
per cent or less, and with no tangible
evidence that a better scale of buying
is near at hand. sentiment in the steel
trade is not improved. The belief that
october would show the low poin,
both in operations and new buying
was expressed in high quarters as the
month came in, but it is now only a
hope. The small buying waveslof jan
uary-February and June-July seemed
to indicate that the late fall would
bring another, but the war has upset
all such calculations.
Several blast furnaces in the Gen.
tral West have blown out in October
while others are scheduled to stop
and it is reported from Pittsburgh that
a large steel plant in that district will
close down before the end of the
month. 1t is true that in some lines
the amount of business booked has
not shown a progressive falling off ir
October, but shipments on contracts
have been for some time so much In
excess of new orders that a still lower
rate of operations is in prospect"

HOMES OF WOMEN WRECKED
BY THE INVADERS
Women deserve a better fate

American women are better off than
their European sisters in most re-
spects. Our American girls however,
are of highly nervous organization and
usually suffer from troubles peculiar
to their sex.
When a girl becomes a woman,
when a woman becomes mother,
when women pass through the
changes of middle life, are the three
periods of life when health and
strength are most needed to with
stand the pain and distress often
caused by severe organic disturbances.
At these critical times women are
best fortified by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the en-
tire female system perfectly regulated
and in excellent condition.
Mothers, If your daughters are
weak, lack ambition, are troubled with
headaches, lassitude and are pale and
sickly, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion is just what they need to surely
bring the bloom of health to their
cheeks and make them strong and
healthy.
For all diseases peculiar to woman,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is q
powerful restorative. During the last
40 years 1t has banished from the
lives of tens of thousands of women
the pain, worry, misery and distress
caused by Irregularities and diseases
of a feminine character.
II you are a sufferer, If your daugh-
ter, mother sister needs help get DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription In
liquid or tablet form at any medicine
dealers to-day. Then address DR..
Pierce, Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,

vice from a staff of specialists that
will not cost you penny. To-day is

Late Dispatches Tell

Paris, Oct. 22, 6.55 A. M.-The lat
est dispatches from the battle front

enough to make the public eager for
more. The allies positions having
been everywhere maintained against
the onslaughts of the enemy, to-days
official statement of the war office was
the object of hope on the part of the
French.
Meanwhile the fighting forces. be-
fore resuming the contest sought anew
to discover the weak spot in the lines
of one another. The maxim of Ma
poleon's memorial, do not attack in
the front tho position you can obtain
by turning" is apparently a maneuver
to which the Germans are adhering in
what appears to be a supreme effort.
In this battle of the north the allied
armies, supported by an English
squadron. have thus far successfully
withstood repeated and fierce attacks
