Regular Weekly Meeting Held Yes terday.
 The regular weekly meeting of the
 board of finance was held in City hall yesterday afternoon This was the first meeting of the board held in the aft |ernoon, the others having been in the |evening. Little action was taken out side the transaction of the regular rou- tine business. Judge Hobart L. Hotch- kiss appeared before the board, repre- senting the school district of Westville. He explained the growing need of more text books in the Westville schools, land asked that the board make a larger appropriation to supply this de- mand. The necessity for new books had been felt for some time and the need for the books was steadily becom- ing more pressing. Judge Hotchkiss stated that tit had been necessary for the district to draw from it's own funds to provide for books, which the city appropriation had not been sufficient to procure. He did not consider this right, as the district had been assured that the city would furnish all supplies for Ithe village schools. The board heard the statement of Judge Hotchkiss and
 discussed the advisability of enlarging the appropriation, but no definite ac- tion was taken.

Sistersville People Should Profit

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbOrs. Here is a chance to
do it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery of a bad back, the
nervo usness and restlessness
caused by kidney complaint or the
annoyance of urinary disorders,
will show uncommon wisdom to
profit by this citizens advice.
Frank Hiff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: "My kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
a good deal of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec-
tally when STOPPING, or lifting,
and [ was so bad sometimes that
it hurt me to straighten. When
I took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to q
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me"

Heel. Half = Yard High.

The streets of the old city Of Venice
were often extremely thick in mud, in
spite of the great sewers which dated
from the tenth century. Even now
the thoroughfares between the Piazza
and Rialto are sometimes sufficiently
bad. We are writing of the time when
the population was nearly i've times
what it now is, and when Venetian
trade was at it's zenith. Well, to COM
bat. this mud the ladies took to high
heeled shoes.
AS the mud grew worse the heels
became taller and taller until at length
they were half yard high and as diff
cult to control as a pair of stills with
out handles. The consequence was
that a lady in full dress, obliged to
walk but few yards, had to be sup
ported on both sides. This was task
for the black pages or for the lovers,
who had at that time become very
conventional part Of Venetian society.

some Mtsnamed Drug..

Some misnomers of the drug store:
Oil Of vitrol is not an oil. Copperas is
an iron salt and contains no copper.
Salts of lemon has nothing to do with
lemon, but it is salt of the extremely
poisonous oxalic acid. Soda water con-
tains no soda. Sulphuric ether contains
no sulphur. Sugar of lead has nothing
10 do with lead, nor has cream Of tar
tar anything to do with cream. Oxy-
gen means the "acid generator" but n.y.
drogen is really the essential element,
and many acids contain oxygen. Ger
man silver contains no silver, and
blacklead contains no lead. Berberine
is usually made from hodrastis cana
densis Wormseed is unexpanded
flower buds. Milk of lime has no milk.
Quicksilver is purely mercury. Oil Of
origanum is made from thyme and not
from origanum.

Natures .DistiIlerx.

Chemists at one time believed that
petroleum was formed in the depths of
the earth by the action of water work
ing on metallic carbons in state Of
fusion. Now that statement is chal-
lenged by some biologists, who contend
that petroleum is the result of putre-
faction of animals which ages ago were
swallowed in enormous cataclysms,
similar to that at Mont Pelee. This
upheaval, says Professor Engler, buried
millions of prehistoric quadrupeds, liz
ards, serpents and sea monsters, and
during all the cycles Of years that have
elapsed since then the bodies of these
animals have been distilled by Mother
Nature in her immense laboratory be-
meath the earth's surface. The result
of this distillation, according to this
theory, is petroleum.
