TOBACCO
YOU WANT
"American Navy" the Tastiest,
Longest-Lasting Chew
Ever Made
* _____
JUICY, SWEET, MELLOW
1 he men who know most about
tobacco chew it—and the best
judges of chewing tobacco say
that for a solid, "chewy," long
lasting chew there's nothing like
American Navy.
American Navy is made of
choice, selected whole leaf, in a
clean, sanitary factory. The leaf
is the same kind as used in good
cigars, pressed into plug form,
forcing the pure, fruity juice
through the entire plug, and not
permitting a single drop of it to
escape.
One chew of American Navy
plug is enough to get your O. K.
Such savory flavor you never
tasted before—such sweet, juicy
enjoyment you never found in any
other chew.
Your dealer has American Navy
in 5c and 10c cuts. Try it.

NEWS OF
STEEL MARKET.
RUNNING AWAY
I Prices Slill Soar, but Are No
! Longer a Factor; Some Huge
Rail Orders Booked
"Any last vestige of doubt as to the j
j runaway character of the steel mar- |
ket,' 'says the Iron Age in its weekly]
review to-day, "is being rapidly swept |
out of the way.
"Prices reach new danger levels !
with each week, but demand does;
not halt on that account; it rather I
grows. And all the time it is harder
.to locate the market, $5 a ton differ
ence in quotations on the same ma
terial being common.
"Here is one large steel producer—
, the largest of all—naming prices on
j some forms of finished steel for deliv- j
ery through next year: another is out. j
) of the market entirely; a third is sell- *
I ing for the first, half of this year but j
| unwilling to quote for the second half; [
still another puts its price on plates, |
; shapes and bars at 3.50 c for any deliv- !
er.v, thinking to reduce tbe pressure of
I new business.
I "Railroads have no fears about buy- \
1 ing rails for next year at half the price
ol' bars, with assurance of desired roll
ings thrown in. Such contracts in
| elude 90,000 tons placed at Chicago, j
including 50,000 tons for the St. Paul,
land 20,000 tons and 15,000 tons for;
I other roads. For 1917 rolling at Ens- j
I ley the Louisville and Nashville has i
| ordered 47,000 tons and the St. Louis
! and San Francisco 46,000 tons.
"Railroad bridge work is also an Im
portant factor, and the week's rolling;
stock contracts have been good—about!
4,500 cars and 275 locomotives. There I
is foreign inquiry for about 25,000
i tons.
"There is thus far none of the ten- j
j sion in pig iron that has long been
1 seen in the steel end of the market, j
; nor arc there signs of famine con- I
! ditions, so called, though the upward
I tendency of prices continues.''

LEAGUE WANTS
MORE BUILDING
Scarcity of Homes and Even
Boardinghouses Becoming
Acute Here
I So acute has the demand for
boarding places and private residences
Mil Steelton since the recent boom in
j the steel business become that the
| Municipal League at its next meeting
1 will likely attempt to find some plan
for meeting the situation.
A canvass of boarding houses in
the past few days by a number of men
I who came here to work at the Penn
sylvania steel plant did not discover a
single desirable place available and
the men were forced to go out of
town to live, it is said.
Conditions similar to these have
existed for some time with regard to
j private residences, real estate men
j say. In fact at the present time it is
! said thero is not a single house for
| rent in the borough. The owner of a
| new house, the only one to be built
[in the borough in months, not yet
J completed has been beseiged by more
than a score of prospective tenants,
according to a real estate man this
j morning.
i Just what the Municipal League can
do to remedy these conditions is hard
to say but steps will likely be taken
to induce investors to turn their at
tention to Steelton for building pur
! poses.

GERMANS "AGAIN
PAUSE IN ATTACK
[Continued From First Page.]
ening in the intensity of the bombard
ment has been reported.
Apparently there is anticipation on
the part of the French that the next
German move may be made to the
southeast of the fortress, in a ilanking
operation, as the French guns have
been extremely active along the heights
of the Meuse overlooking the Woevre
plain.
To-day's German official conforms
with that from Paris as to the un
changed situation north of Verdun.
Its text, however, apparently indicates
that possession of Dead Man's Hill on
which the Germans yesterday report
ed an advance, is claimed by the Ger
man War Office. The statement speaks
of further attempts by the French "to
dispute our possession oft he height
of Le Homme Mort (Dead Man) and
our positions in the wood to the north.
These attempts are declared to have
failed.
Apart from the Verdun region,
there has been little infantry activity
on the western front except in the
Champaigne. There the French made
several attacks on the German posi
tion near St. Souplet, west of the
Souain-Somme-Py road which Berlin
claims were without success, the
French losing more than 150 men
taken prisoners, besides two machine
guns.
Easy Way to Remove
, Freckles and Eruptions
Some women have skin of such tex
ture they occasionally are annoyed by
the sudden appearance of freckles,
slight eruptions or tine lines. March i
winds usually play havoc with skins '
of that kind. In such cases if one will
procure an ounce of common mercolized
wax at any drug store, apply a little
of it before retiring, like cold cream,
she can easily overcome the trouble.
When the wax is washed off next morn
ing. flaky skin particles come with it.
The entire outer cuticle is removed in
tills way in a week or so, with all Its
defects. No bleach could so effectually
remove freckles or blemishes. The new
surface is smooth, clear, fresh looking.
No pain or inconvenience cccompanies
this simple treatment.
Tn ease of wrinkles which sink be
neath the outer skin, a solution of pow
dered saxolite, 1 oz„ dissolved in % pt.
witch hazel, makes a face bath which
is wonderfully effective.—Advertise

ALL THE NEWS OF
FORMER FLAGMAN
HEAD OF READING
Agnew T. Dice Starts Railroad
Career With Pennsylvania;
Has Rapid Rise
AGNEW T. DICE
From flagman to president of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company tells of a rapid rise of Agnew
Thompson Dice, who was yesterday
elected to succeed the late Theodoro
Voorliees. The unanimous selection
by the board of directors created no
surprise, as General Manager Dice has
been in charge of the company's affairs
since the illness of the late president.
Mr. Dice was born on Nevcmber 2,
1862, at Scotland, Pa. He entered the
railway service in 1881 as a flagman in
the engineering corps of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad and later served as rod
man and assistant engineer. From
1887 to 1888 he was assigned to special
work on signals at Altoona, and from
1888 to 1890 was assistant supervisor;
from 18H0 to 1892 he was a supervisor
of the Pennsylvania.
From January 1, 1892, to 1893 he
was superintendent of signals of the
New York Central and Hudson River,
and the following year was made as
sistant superintendent of the Hudson
division of the same road.
Mr. Dice entered the service of the
Reading as superintendent of the At
j lantic City Railroad on April 1, 1894,
i and on January 1. 1897, as was made
j superintendent of the Reading division
I in charge of freight terminals in Phila
| delphia; February 1, 1897, to May 1,
J 1903, he was superintendent of the
! Shamokin division, and on May 1, 1903,
I he was made general superintendent
of the Reading. On January 1, 1910,
; ho was made general manager, and on
January 1, 1913, was named a vice
president .is well as general manager.
He at present resides in Reading,
j but it. is expected that, with his elec-
I tion to the presidency Mr. Dice will
I move to Philadelphia in order to be in
| close touch with all officials of the
j road.
Drop in Temperature Keeps
Pennsy Trackmen on Duty
The big drop In temperature last
night kept the Pennsylvania Railroad
track foremen busy. They had the.ir
labor forces on duty all night, fearing
a> tie-up as a result of snowdrifts and
freezing up of switches. No trouble
I was reported on the main line outside
I of belated schedules due to late con
i nections from the West at Pittsburgh.
On the Northern Central line be
tween Roekville and Williamsport and
on the Lewistown and Sunbury branch
! heavy snowdrifts in the cuts from four
| to six feet deep were reported.
At midnight reports indicated seri- |
| ous trouble and the emergency cars,
| twenty in number, were put In readi
! ness for service at Sunbury. These
5 cars, rebuilt, from old Pullman sleep- |
j ing cars, were constructed for the ac
commodation of extra trackmen who
are required to be on duty along the
J various divisions during snowstorms
| and other trouble. They were not
needed, us the regular forces kept the
i road open.
Freight Car Jumps Track;
Blocks Line at Selinsgrove
Early trains from the North were
delayed two hours this morning as a
result of the derailment of a ear near
Selinsgrove. The car was attached to
a freight train en route-to Lewistown
and jumped the track, spreading
across the two main tracks. The Buf
falo tlyer. due here at 6.45 this morn
ing. was two hours late. The passen
gers were held at Sunbury and given
their breakfast at that place.
Commuters from Millersburg and
intermediate points were obliged to
wait for the Lykens Valley accom
modation. The main line was reported
clear at 7.31.
TRAIN KILLS BRAKEMAN
B. W. Hoffman, of Smithfield town
ship, Huntingdon county, employed as
a brakeman on the Middle division of
the Pennsylvania railroad, was killed
yesterday afternoon east of Hunting
don. He was struck by a passenger
train and was dead when picked up.
It is the belief that the cold weather
prevented htm from hearing the warn
ing of the approaching train. Brake

is survived by a widow. He ha? been
in the employ of the company for
seven years.

To Make the Hair Appear
Lustrous and Beautiful
Abigail Moore, the noted beauty au
, thority, says, "The hair is a register
■ of the physical condition. Cleanliness
( and message, as well as careful comb
ing and brushing are most Important.
Many women seemingly do not real
ize the necessity of keeping the hair
and scalp absolutely clean in order
to look their best at all times. And
' yet, with only a few minutes of easy
; massage, the hair may be brought to
, ja beautiful, thick, lustrous luxuriance,
[ and that at very little cost.
■ j Just try these few simple directions
■to-day: Into the palm of the hand
pour a little Parisian Sage; thoroughly
1 wet the hair near the scalp with it and
. | then rub vigorously until a soft tingl
] ing sensation comes stealing over tho
• j head. Do this regularly for a few
I days and occasionally wet your brush
| with the tonic and gently brush out
! the hair —you will surely be pleasantly
I surprised at the results.
The genuine Parisian Sage Is obtain
able from H. C. Kennedy or any first
class drug store and is always sold
• on an absolute guarantee that it is free
• from dangerous chemicals and that it
must give satisfaction to the user or
_ | the money paid will be returned. It
' jis not expensive.—Advertisement.
