It may safely be added that 1 this notification means a large influx of rail orders in the present month, though how much space is still avail able at rail mills for rollings in the nrst four months of 1917 is a ques tion. On some of the rails ordered • I®® 1 ,months deliveries run up to Julv 1, "Some good-sized additions have been made fo the heavy March rail orders already reported. The Santa Ke lias reserved about 80,000 tons with the I olorado mil! after placing 12,000 tons at Chicago. The Seaboard Air Line has bought 25,900 tons; the Buffalo, Uochester and Pittsburgh. 12.000 tons: the Atlantic Coast Line, 10,000 tons the Wabash, 15.000 tons: the Dela ware. Uckawanna and Western, 15.000 tons; the Boston and Maine, 15,000 ,ons ; the Erie, 30.000 tons. Probably 300,000 tons is tinder inquirv, includ ing the Pennsylvania Railroad's quota. Considering their under-buying of re cent years, the railroads have been en tirely conservative in their iate con tracts. Efforts to increase orders thus tar given would be no surprise after the Steel Corporation's notice. ISocord Pig Iron Output "Pig iron production in March was 3.337,691 tons, or 107,667 tons a dav, against 3,087,212 tons in February, or 10t>,456 tons a day. Active capactiy April 1 was 108.509 tons a dav for 317 furnaces, as compared with 107.310 tons a day for 312 furnaces one month pre vious. Thus April opened with pro duction at the rate of 39.606,000 tons a year for coke iron. Estimating char coal iron at 1.000 tons of day brings the yearly rate within 30,000 of 40,000,000 tons."

Where the skin is so affected by this influence, if one will procure an ounce of com mon mercolir.ed wax at any drug store, apply a little of it before retiring, like • old cream, she can easily overcome the trouble. When the wax is washed off next morning, flaky skin particles come with it. The entire outer cuticle is re moved in this way in a week or two, with all its defects.
