Excess of Capacity.
Steel ni...s continue to book orders
for semi and fir.shed products in ex-
cess of capacity. Since March 1 it is
estimated that contracts have been
taken by all interests at the rate of
nearly 1,000,000 tons a week. The
Steel corporation bought more scrap
last week and independent comparies
again placed large orders for pig iron.
The merchant blast furnaces sold
nearly 400,000 tons of pig iron, mak-
ing total contracts since March 1
about 800,000 tons, nearly half of
which was steel-making iron.
The extraordinary activity brought
further advances in prices of $2 to $10
a ton on finished products, the most
important appreciation being $5 a ton
on steel plate, $2 to $4 a ton on black
and $4 to $10 a ton on galvanized
pipe. Semi-finished steel also was ad-
vanced $4 to $6 a ton.

eign inquiries was again prominent.

cartridges. One lot of 30,000,000 cart-
ridges for Great Britain was placed

for Australia. Great Britain and
France are asking for 140,000 tons of
barbed wire and wire rods. Sales of
15,000 tons of Bessemer pig iron were’

ATLANTIC
Rayo Lamps are beautiful—an ornament to any room. And they
burn brightly, without flicker or smell. Your dealer can show you
a special design for any room, ranging in price from $1.60 up. No
matter what sort of hight you’ve got, the addition of a few Rayo
Lamps will make your home brighter and the folks happier.
But Rayo Lamps are at their best when burning Atlantic Rayolight
Oil. It is the one kerosene that burns without smoke or smell—that
is always the same. It gives the brightest light and the greatest
heat for the least money.
The use of Atlantic Rayolight Oil doesn’t stop with burning and
heating; thousands of housev ives have written us that it’s the very
finest t ling to brighten faded carpets, keeps the moths away from
closets, shelves and drawers, cuts grease better than anything else,
and that for washing windows it’s without equal.
Be certain to ask for Atlantic Rayolight Oil by name—
it costs no more than the unknown, unreliable kerosene.

PNEUMONIA VICTIMS
The United States Public Health
Service brands strong drinks as the
most efficient ally of pneumonia. It
declares that alcohol is the handmaid-

per cent of the deaths in the United

dulgence in alcholic liquors lowers the,
individual vitality, and that the man
who drinks is peculiarly susceptible to,
pneumonia, The United States Public
Health Service is a conservative body.
It does not engage in alarmist pro-
paganda. In following out the line of
its official duties it has brought force:

which will bear endless repetition.
