TANLAC LIGHTS NEW FIRE

They've had us going full speed
out at the works ever since the NUM-
ton orders started to pour in," says
George r. Stroh, of Steelton, Pa. land
I worked at such high pressure that
1 began to run short of steam"
Willing to work, you understand,
and glad to be making the extra
money, but | guess my fires got full
of clinkers and | needed to draw them
and start fresh.''
Il found / was slowing down and
couldn't seem to pick up pep enough
to keep up the pace. | was tired all
the time, sleep didn't seem to rest me
and l felt weak and all run down"
We'll, I'd heard about Tanlac and
how it had helped lots of folks around
here. so hiked down to Gorgas and
got bottle on the chance it would
pTdk me up.
And it sure did. 1t fixed me up in
great shape in almost no time at all.
Seemed as if the very first dose put
new life into me and by the time I'd
finished the first bottle / felt as if /
could work "a hours every day."
I'm full of pep and ginger these
days and have no trouble at all keep
ing full head of steam. I'm working
overtime again and the biggest days
work only gives me an extra good ap-
petite. Tanlac is great stuff and I'm
telling the boys at the works about
it,"
Tanlac. the famous invigorant and
reconstructive tonic, is being intro
duced here at Gorgas' Drug store,
where the Tanlac man is meeting the
people and explaining the merits of
this master medicine.

street intersection paving. was de-
feated by rs votes, the only part of
the loan that did not carry.
Less than $500 remains of the
amount provided for street paving in
the third improvement loan. Be-
cause of this, Commissioner Lynch ex-
planned to-day that the only improve
ment plans for the year include re-
pairs and finishing work that has been
started.
AS soon as weather conditions per-
NIT work will be finished on the fol-
lowing streets which are being paved:
Swatara, from Eighteenth to Twen-
ty-first.
Green. from Woodbine to Seneca.
Susquehanna from Woodbine to
Emerald.
Honey from Mt. Pleasant to Chest
nut.
Much of tie concrete work has
been done, but the surfacing can not
be completed because of the weather
AS soon as the ice and snow has
been cleared from other streets, in
spections will be made so that repair
work can be rushed when the asphalt
plant is opened again. This will be
done probably during the early part
Of April.
Commissioner lynch in reviewing
paving plans declared that Chestnut
street should be paved between 18th
and Goth streets, but about one
fourth of the property fronting on the
street in that section, is unassessab BILE
and the city has no funds to pay for
this work. He irtimated that the por-
ton between Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets, may be paved as there are
no street intersections to finish in that
block.

IS STEELTo on
QUIETEST WEEK
IN STEEL TRADE
Traffic Troubles Are Given as
the Cause of Falling
Off

Still beset by traffic troubles, the
quietest weeks in many, as though
January ends with even more assur-
ance of full operations far into the
year than existed at it's opening.
In summarizing the situation, the
Iron Age of to-day says:
THAT the United States Steel Cor
poratfon, with all the construction of
traffic late in the year and the short
age of coke, earned s106,000,000 in
the last quarter of 1916. or far more
than in the previous three months, in
dicates the advance the steel COM
panies have made into their higher
priced orders. But even so. consider
able shipments are still going out at
close to q &c basis for heavier prod
ucts; hence larger earnings are yet
to come.
I'm the Pittsburgh district some
mills are believed to have shipped
more product in the past fortnight
than they booked in new business. but
generally the cutting down of ship
ments has caused a slight gain in un-
filled orders in January. At Chicago
consumers of the heavier forms of
rolled steel have crowded the mills
ders, so that even in the absence of
large new contracts the accumulation
ON the books has increased.
In the Central West there is some
easing up of the pressure on sheet
and bar mills. Some sheet mills that
have been quoting the top of the mar
ket for prompt shipment are now TAX
ing such business at $5 lower. On
heavier products, however, prices on
both early and later shipments are
firm if not higher.
The desire of foreign buyers to
get all the steel possible from this
country is seen here and there in the
acceptance of more steel with upper
limits in PHOSPHORUS and sulphur.
In a recent inquiry for 10000 tons of
4 u Inch rounds 0.07 was allowed on
phosphorus and sulphur.
"Italy's inquiries for barb wire, steel
bars and ship plates continue, but
ocean freights are a distinctly limiting
factor in all export trade.'
