The first lesson that the young girl has
of womanhood is usually a painful one.
She learns to know what headache means,
and backache, and sometimes is sadly
borne down by this new experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such time
may, in almost every instance, be entirely
prevented or cured by the use of Doctor
Pierceis Favorite Prescription. II estab-
fishes regularity. II tones up the general
health, and cures headache, backache,

Merchants are advising the
people to do their holiday shop
ping early, and which advice should
be followed. There are a great
many reasons why people should
make their purchases early. They
are given more time IL which to
make their selections. The stock
Is larger to select from and the
great rush of people In the stores
the week proceeding Christmas Is
avoided. More care and judgment
can also be better exercised. They
are not so apt to forget an article
they most desire and fully intend
to acquire. They are likewise
mlmIz ed by going early and by so
doing can avoid the great thong.
Many merchants, however, who
have been prompt to give this ex-
cellent advice, are backward about
advertising their holiday goods,
They should not delay until the
middle of the month to tell the
people OF their wares and prices.
Place your advertisements at once
In the newspapers and not only
quote your prices, but tell the peo-
pie of the advantages In visiting
your respective establishments In
advance of the rush This delay
on the part of the merchants IS very
wrong. Invite them to call imme
diately aud inspect your special OF.
ferings and examine your general
bargain inducements. Every mer-
chant In the city should be running
his Christmas advertisement now
In as artistic manner as possible.
Advertisements appropriate to the
season should fill every merchants
advertising space In the papers
that he Is In the habit of using. II
will increase his business and bring
customers to his store that other
wise would be lost to him.
An advertisement Is simply an
invitation to the public to call at
your establishment and examine
your stock of goods and secure
prices. It holds out inducements

petter. If each business firm
throughout the city would place an
advertisement In the local papers
now under the head OF holiday
specials or something similar, would
not the public be inoculated with
the idea of the desirability of be
ginning Its holiday shopping at
once? We firmly believe by adopt
ing this plan, that early Christmas
shopping can be more forcibly Inn
pressed on the public mind than by
delaying advertisements, of a strict

Sistersville Is the central point
for general shopping of large
scope of country, and the mer-
chant that offers the greatest In
ducements Is the one most certain
to get the cream ofthe trade. Tnese
inducements, of course, must be
made known to the public In some
manner In order to secure their
patronage, and the only way this
can be successfully done Is by ju-
dicious advertising through the
columns Of a live, progressive daily
newspaper, and that periodical Is
the Oh Review. Our rates are
reasonable, and the price Is tie

The Daily edition contains, on

chile sayings amused his contempt
raries. At one time the son of one of
his old friends was appointed a mid

AS there was no Naval academy In
those days at Annapolis, the lad was
drafted to Captain Percival's ship.
The father wrote at once to his
friend to announce the fact that his
son was on shpbonrd and after the
usual parental recommendations to
mercy he closed the letter with:

The young midshlpman had not been
on board long before he aroused the
wrath Of his commander, who at once
sat down and wrote to the lads
