WHY IT SUCCEEDS.

Because It's for One Thing Only,
and Sistersville is Learning This.
Nothing can be good for every
thing.
Doing one thing well brings sue
cess.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one
thing only
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kid
ney i'll.
Here is evidence to prove it.
E. w. Lohn, barber, of 232 JEFF
ferson avenue, Moundsville, says i:
"There are so many preparations
on the market, all guaranteed as
specifies for certain ailments
which aflict mankind, that to Gull
a genuine from the useless is al
most impossible. So many people
have been gulled by fattering
advertisements that really think
when man knows a remedy can
be depended upon he should make
that fact known so that others
may profit by his experience and
follow his good advice. l unhes-
itatingly say that Doan's Kidney
Pills for sale at a drug store can
be depended upon to do the work
they claim. You are at liberty to
send anyone to me for minuter
particulars of my experience with

it which I have gathered from

FAMINE IN WHITE PAPER.
How the Combine Dig Publishers in
the Region OF the Fifth Rib.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. 1S.-At a meeting of
the American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION held today, the famine III white
paper was discussed and the following
resolution introduced by Condo Hamlin
of the st. Pauls Pioneer Press was unan-
imously adopted:
"That the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association request the President
of the United States and the ATTORNEY
General to institute a suit against any
of the three paper combinations to test
the legality of their existence, and
whether they don't stiie competition
A committee was then appointed to car
ry out the suggestion that agitation be
inaugurated to reduce the duties on pulp
and paper.
During the discussion preceding the
adoption of the resolution Don Seitz and
John Narris, business manager of the
New York orld and Times respectively,
addressing the association, advocated the
adoption of the resolution and attacked the
methods of the international Paper Com
pany.
Mr. PeitZ said that the paper situation
in the United States is steadily growing
worse, the drouth of the last three or
four months emphasizing the predicament
of the newspaper industry through the
operations of the International Paper
Company. The company, he said, con
trolling every factor of the paper-making
industry had, instead of increasing its IA
cilities and accommodating a reserve stock
for emergencies. deliberately set out to
restrict the output of printing paper in
order to secure complete domination of
the market.
Mr.. Norris, of the Times, declared that
newspapers are today threatened with a
paper famine, many of the papers being
on a ''hand to mouth, basis, and that the
manufacturers had deliberately shut down
on production.
The committee which the subject had
been referred reported in favor of the
accumulation of fund of 100000 to pro-
mote an agitation 'for release from the
oppression Of the paper combination, and
this report was unanimously adopted by
The association.

THE LOSS AT BALTIMORE.

Baltimore Feb. 1S.--It was learned
from an authoritative source today that
the tax assessments on the realty in

between twenty and twenty-five million
dollars and that the assessments on av-
oraee stocks of goods consumed in the
file were between fifty and ffty-fve MIL
lions. AT this time of the year,
however the stocks carried by merchants
were much heavier than the average. As
lie real estate was assessed at thrcc-
fourths of its value these figures won d
Indicate a total loss by reason of the
fire of about $50 900 600, at the lowest
figures.
Insurance experts were in an optimistic
frame of mind today over the prospect
that the aggregate insurance loss Will
be considerably smaller than was first
expected. They are now quite confident
tEat the insurance loss caused by the
corflagration will not exceed $i0000,0 900
ana that it will not be under $32 600 600.
The local agent of the Greenwich Fire
Insurance Company, Of New York, an
ncunced today that it had re-insured Its
policies unaffected by the Baltimore fire

The Greenwich Company had paid up
