(Now fork, Juiw 11. In order to
check tbu incrtmi. la the number of
(loath, from pneumonia and other dla
uiw. due to Im lenient weather, an ad
vlnory board of leadliif phy.lciana ap
pointed by the health department haa
frniulaled rule, for the 'guidance of
the public. Death, from pneumonia,
liilinontn, troni hltln, and almllur ail
ment, ktit week numbered 679, which
wa. an ln'cree of 21 over the pre
ceding week and 111 over the record
of the opening days of Janaury. There
haa been a jump In the number of
pulmonnry consumption, tit being re
ported last week, an Increase of 47
over the preceding week. ,
The advice given by the advisory
board recommends, among other thlnga,
the discontinuance of using feather

lean' atatement aya:
"Expoeure to cold, over-exertion, lack
of phydcal vigor, abuse of alcohol, etc.,
predispose the Individual to pneumon
ia but are not It direct cause. The
bacteria germs which the Immedl-
at) excitant of pneumonia are usually
conveyed In the dust of the. air, con
taminated by sputum, nnsal or other
discharge, not always of those who are

which, when contaminated, may incite
In susceptible person ome form of
acute pn?umonla as well a tubercu
losis, and the more common colds and
catarrh.
"Feather duster should be abandon
ed and molt cloth used for dusting.
When practicable, weeping should be
done In the evening, so that floating
luHt may completely settle before Its
removal by moist cloth In the morn
In. Moist mops should be passed over
floors, when these are uncarpeted, as
part of the morning dusting.

New York, Jan. 21. The latest ad
vice from the leading distribution cen
ter point rather to a alight weakening
tendency In the pig Iron market, says
the Xron Age. ' Some of the southern
makers, spring business going almost
entirely to northern producers are
shading prices. Complaint are coming
from some foundries that business is
slow with them and they naturally hes
itate about additional purchases. Still
the tonnage, almost entirely for the
first quarter l fair.
A number of the leading southern
interest continue to work on a plan
to harmonise the recent difference and
to reach some common ground for
price, tn the east there has been a
little more demand for baalo and low
phosphorous pig from the steel works,
vhere business has Improved somewhat
The deadlock In- the steel rail trade
continues, but It look as though the
logic of the situation will force the
maker to gtv way.
There la a little better feeling In the
bai trade east and west, but the sheet
trad, still show symptoms of weak
ness. The tonnage In plates and
shape are better but will poo prices
on these material are firm, these works
have an advantage which manufacture
bridge and building from the stuff
made In their own mill.' They are
making low bids on contracts for
bridges and buildings. The result' I
that the views of the consumer are
really being met and their Interest be
ing: stimulated.
, The demand for wire product I
very heavy under the stimulus of the
recent slight declined f 1
The1 scrap market have been quit,
excited and, the claim la mad. that
in a number, of Instance prominent
dealers have been forced to cover short
sale.
Advices from abroad are to tb. effect
that the German steel maker are mak
ing very low prices for steel In th.
International market. Our American
makers do not appear to be meeting
these prices, which would be equiv
alent to about $14.60 for billet at Pitts
burg. As a matter of fact the leading
Interest has been declining business
offered for delivery during the neat few
months.' . . -. r .1 ,o ,

Dear Slrs-For ten year I had been almost a cripple from rheumatism, and frequently wa In i"00 con"
dltlon that I could hardly get around. On June 9 I came to Medical Lake to try the hot baths, was al
most helpless at that time. On account of cold, bad weather during June, took only a few Medical Lak.
baths. Later, the weather warming up, I begun the treatment In earnest, and at this writing, August I.
consider myself entirely well. The hot water baths In Medical Lake wa ter have done business for me.
Before coming to this place I spent several hundred dollar with physicians and for various w1" tut
received no benefit until I tried Msdlcal Lake water. THOS. BELL. Spangle, Wash.
