Duffys' Pure Malt Whiskey
is a tonic of the highest quality, made from sound grain thoroughly malted, in
cluding barley the most expensive grown. Kepcated refinings, or distillations,
are resorted to in order that injurious by-products may be removed. This leaves
only the sound wholesome soul of the grain which gives to Duffy's the health

splendid results obtained are well worth the outlay, and insure a higher standard
of purity than is required by tho U. 8. Pharmacopeia.
Leading physicians have prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for over half
a century. In old age, in illness, in cases of weakened vitality, or where one is
run down and in need of a real builder-up of the system, Duffy's may be relied
on for good results. It's just the Spring tonic you need. Try" it.

STANDS ON HEAD TO PAY BET
Loser Must Reverse His 210 Pounds
Daily for Whole Month y
Chicago, April 9. —For the next
month Phil Schmidt, Democrat, will
take in the landscape around Roby,
Ind., upside down. Not always,
for a minute each day, he must stand
on his head. His observations will toe
reported to and recorded by ArtWur
Bennett, of Grand Crossing, who bet on
Thompson for Mayor of Chicago.
"No one evei saw me welch," he
said, and he carried his 210 pounds out
to perform for the first time yesterday.
As admitted by "Phil," it was some
task. First he did not make the prop
er allowances. Trial No. 2 was more
successful. "Phil" wabbled and
swayed on his hands, getting an uncer
tain view of the old race track. The
tower at the car works danced before
his dizzy vision. A burr pricked his
palm at 58% seconds and "Phil"
dropped to normal.

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.

Latter Apparently Can Prove
An Alibi
By Associated rrcss.

southeast of Quakertown, was shot and

all knowedge of the snooting and fur
ther says he was at home all night. In
this latter statement he is borne out by
the other persons living in the house.
Gottschalk and his wife, who is a
chiropodist, have not lived together for
a'bout fourteen years. She said this was
duo to the fact that she preferred to
live in t'he city. Husband and wife
