Steel Rate 10 Rise
Z Points in Week
To 85.7 Per Cent
Institute Report Cites
50.7 Per Cent Pace
Of Year Ago
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2-The Nations
steel mills advanced operating
schedules to 85.7 per cent of capacity
this week from 1877 per cent week
earlier, the American Iron and Steel
Institute estimated today. The re-
bound OF IL points compared with
a drop of 1853 points during the
Christmas week. New Year Day is
not observed in the industry
A month ago operations were at
the rate of 92.8 per cent and year
ago they were 50.7 per cent.
Steel circles had forecast a fast
climb back to the 80 per cent opera
tions prevailing before the Christmas
holidays. The estimate for this first
full week of activity at 85.7 per cent
was therefore slightly less than most
had expected.

Your HEALTH
Reg. u. 3. Pat OFF.
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

The doctor of a previous gen.
GRAFTON always looked first at
the tongue, because he consid-
cred it one of the most impor-
tant organs in diagnosing consti-
tutional diseases. 1t is now gen.
orally established that a tongue
that is dry, dark and furred in
dicates disease; the tongue that
is moist and clean reflects i'm
provement.
We know that the manner in
which the tongue protrudes from
the mouth may be significant. A
tongue that is in a healthy con-
dition can be moved quickly or
slowly in all directions, put out
straight in the middle line and
maintained there and pulled back
without trouble.
Nervous trouble, those with
over-activity of the thyroid
gland, tend to move the tongue
quickly and snappily; those who
are dull are likely to have slug
gish tongue movements. People
who are weak or exhausted or in
a slightly stuporous condition
will put the tongue out just a lit
tie and leave II out until they are
told to pull it back.
In paralysis that affects only
one side of the tongue, muscles
on the healthy side will push the
tongue out and over to the para
lyzed side. This sign is seen espe-
cially in people who have had a
brain hemorrhage or who have
lost the function of one side of
the brain from some other cause.
The sense OF taste is either
abolished or abnormally acute in
various forms of mental disturb
ances or of paralysis of certain
nerves. People who have paraly-
sis agitans or other forms of
nervous disease may have
tongues that are exceedingly
tremulous when protruded from
the mouth. This sign is also seen
frequently in people who have
overindulged in alcohol.
The most common coating on
the tongue Is sort of white fur
that is usually associated with
a rundown condition. Some
times. it reflects digestive dis
turbances.
A dry tongue may be due to a
persons having kept his mouth
open steadily because of diff
Guilty in breathing through the
nose.
Spots on the tongue may be
the result of little hemorrhages,
of small infections, of ulcers, or
of bruises.
