JIARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1915. CUT THIS OUT Old English Becipe for Catarrhal Deaf- ness and Bead Noises If you know someone who is troubled with head noises, or Catarrhal Deafness, cut out this formula, and hand it to thorn, and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufforer perhaps from total deafness. Recent experi ments hfcve proved conclusively that Catarrhal Deafness, head noises, etc., were the direct cause of constitutional disease, and that salves, sprays, in halers, etc., merely temporize with the complaint and seldom, if ever, effect a permanent cure. This being so, much time and money has been spent of late by a noted specialist in perfecting a pure, gentle, yet effective tonic that would quickly dispel all traces of the catarrhal poison from the system. The effective prescription which was eventu ally formulated, and which has aroused the belief that deafness will soon be extinct, is given below in understand able form, so that anyone can treat themselves in their own home at little expense. Secure from your druggist 1 or,. Par mint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home and add to it % pint of hot water and 4 OK. of gran ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first doso should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hearing rapidly returns as the sys tem is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping in the back of the throat, are other symptoms that show the presence of catarrhal poison, and which are often entirely overcome by this efficacious treatment. Nearly ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are directly caused by catarrh; therefore, there must be many people whose hear ing can be restored by this simplo home' treatment. . Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness, or ca tarrh in any form, should give this pre scription a trial. There is nothing bet ter.—Adv.

THE PIC IRON OIUPUT IS THE LARGEST IN A YEAR March Production Confirms Beporta of Higher .Bate of Steel Operations- Bail Trade Has Not Flourished Lately—Wire Operations Brisk New York, April 9.—"The Iron Age" says the pig iron output of March is clear corroboratoin of the re ports of recent weeks as to the higher rate of steel works operations. Bince January 1 the not gain in furnaces in blast has been 44 and the yearly rate, which on January 1 was 18,000,- OK)0 tons, had mounted to the aston ishing figure of £>6,00 0,000 tons on April 1. The increase in three months was thus 44 per cent., practically all of it in steel making pig iron. Pig iron production in March was 2,063,834 tons, or 6 | 6,57'6 tons a day, against 1,674,771 tons in February, or 59,813 tons a day. On April 1 fur naces in 'blast numbered 191 with ca pacity of 70,591 tons a day, against 176 active on March 1 with capacity of 63,033 tons a day. The present rate of production is the highest since April. 1914, when the expansion of the early months of last year wan culminating. Steel companies generally booked a smaller tonnage in the past week than thoy shipped. While it is well recogniz ed that to advance prices when capa city is greater than consumption checks forward buying, opinion as to the future is still hopeful. At the same tine it is admitted that the continu ance of a 70 per cent, operation would be difficult without better railroad buying, unless this country should be called on to ship steel abroad at the present or even a greater rate in the next six months. Youngstown district steel works have led in activity in recent weeks. Their output in a number of cases has been more than 90 per cent, of capa city, due to the fact that Youngstown mills produce chiefly wire, bars, sheets and wrought pipe, for which demand has been much better than for rails, plates and structural shapes. March was marked by high rolling schedules in semi-finished steel, rails and plates at Oarnegie Steel Company mills. Orders were sent to the mills for 316,000 tons of billete, sheet bars and rails—the largest month's total in more than a year—while 112,000 tons of plates were rolled, of which 92,00'0 tons were turned out at Home stead. The greatest previous record at the Homestead plate mills was 79,000 tons for a montn. The rnil trade lias not flourished lately and the distribution of the Pennsylvania railroad's order promises to be further delayed. The Canadian mill at the Sault is reported to have closed two further contracts with western roads for over 5,000 tons each and the Southern railway has placed 3,700 tons at Ensley. The Nova Scotia rail mill it) credited'with a 30,- 000-ton contract for South Africa, with other African business pending. In wire mill operations which in March made records at a number of plants, foreign orders cut a large fig ure. The spring demand for home con sumption evidently has seen its high point. . The bar mills have had better orders from implement works and for con crete reinforcing. Prices have been better maintained in the Central West than in Chicago or in eastern districts. Fabricating works are making as low prices as at any time in six months and work is coming up so slow ly that improvements in this respect is mot in sight. In the west building contracts are more numerous, but none are large. Discounts on steel boiler tubes have been increased in the past were by four points on tubes up to and in cluding 3 1-4 inch and three points oin 3 1-2 to 13 inches, but all differ entials to jobbers and retailers are wiped out, so that the new prices rep resent relatively slight reductions on most sizes.

WOMAN DIES AT ACE OF 115 Inmate of Philadelphia Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People Had Remarkable longevity Philadelphia, April 9.—"Aunt Mahala" Ayres, the oldest woman in Philadelphia, died last night - in the 'Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Per sons, Forty-fourth street and Girard avenue. She would, have been 115 years oM if she had lived until Monday. They were preparing a celebration of her 'birthday at the Home when the aged woman quietly gave up the ghost. Up until last Saturday she was iu good health, but she was suddenly stricken and quickly sank to death. For thirty-two years Aunt Mahala has been sitting around the home tell ing people how to live long. Ever since she passed the ceiAury mark in 1900 she las 'been an object of interest, which grew all the more intense as the years piled utp. It was Aunt Mahala's hope that dhe would exceed the record of longevity for the home, which is 132 years, 'but in this she was disappointed. The old colored woman was bom a slave on April 12, 1800, on the plan tation of John Faucett, near Berlin, Md. She was married when a young woman, 'but never had any children. Long be fore the Civil war she was set free ami came to Philadelphia with her husband, Who was a waiter. During his life he saved up considerable money, so that after he died, in 1860, his widow lived comfortably. Aunt Mahala kept her hearing to the end and had good eyesight until a few years ago. Her memory was ex cellent. She remembered all about the Faucett plantation of 100 years ago, and told with interest of having seen Presidents Tyler, Van Buren and Polk. She said she never saw Lincoln. Events of moro recent years were unknown to her, except that she was interested in automobiles and liked to watch them running out Oirard avenue past the home.
