THE TIME WILL COME
When the Advice of This Man
Will Help Sistersville People.

Very few people are entirely
free from backache. 1t does not
take much to derange the kidneys.
A little cold, a strain, STOPPING
positions or hard work overtaxes
those delicate organs and many
aches and pains promptly follow.
A citizen of a nearby town tells
you here how every kidney i'll can
be relieved and cured. Read about
it.
P. A. Shrecougout, foreman in
the South Penn Oil company ma
chine shop, residence, Clarksburg,
st. Warrington, says: "Mrs. Shire
cougost was annoyed with dull
aching in the small of her back
far too long to be pleasant. Head
aches accompanied it and we often
wished we knew Of some means
to allay the attacks when they oc-
Cured, let alone stop them radl-
cally. An advertisement about
Doan's Kidney Pills induced me
to procure a box. 1t did her so
much good that we bought a sec
ond. If they had not brought pos
tive results I would be the last
person in this vicinity to publicly
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills"

Root must take himself out of the

Gated or he will be nominated at the
Saratoga convention next month"
That was the opinion expressed by
member of the New York Republi-
can state committee after he had been
comforting with other members both
before and after a brief meeting of
the committee today. Other members
of the committee talked in a similar
strain, and the Root boom is again
On in earnest. While the talk today
was all Root it. was not so absolute
that an alternative was not suggested.
If not Root, then Higgins will be
the man." was the verdict of the COM
mitteemen who were giving their at
tention to the governorship.

Along this line he was very sue

more of the leading families of the

FEAR RUSSIAN wARsH1Ps.
Steamship Companies Will Not Ac

Steamship Companies VIII Not Ac-
cept Freight to Some Points.
In connection with notice served Au-
gust 1 by the Pacific Mail Steamship
company Occidental & Oriental
Steamship company, from San Fran
cisco, and Portland & Asiatic Steam
ship company, from Portland, that
they would not accept freight con-
signed to Japan, Manchuria Korea,
Siberia and Niuchwang, China, the
companies have issued the following
circular to rail connections and ship
pers:
1--WE desire to state that we are
willing and anxious to resume ac-
ceptance of such freight as soon as
the warlike situation permits, but the
attitude of the Russian government
with respect to contraband freight
and passive attitude of the state de-
partment of this country put all the
burden of jeopardy upon the ocean
carrying company For example,
steamers if seized and found carry
ing property for Japan, which Russia
may consider contraband, would prob
ably be confiscated.
while we cannot say at present
how long we must abstain from car
rying freight to the ports mentioned,
we hope conditions in the near future
will warrant resumption.
1.-THE present embargo affects out
bound freight only, and these COM
panies will continue to accept and
transport all freight offered from
Japan

1T FILLED $50 CARS

Anthony. Kan, Aug. 1.-THE Bulle-
tin says:
Some idea of the magnitude OF the
wheat business in this country may De
mained from the achievement of W. W.
Miller & Sons. the well known grain
dealers Of Anthony. Last week, from
Monday morning to Saturday night
they shipped out 152 thousand bushels
of wheat for which they paid out about
1923. 0Oo This grain filled $50 cars, and
at one time the company had on the
track at Anthony 80 cars of grain which
was cleaned and ready for shipment.
This immense amount of wheat was
bought at the different elevators of
the company. but nearly all of it was
brought to Anthony for cleaning and
shipped from here. The Miller COM
pany is very much pleased with the
weeks business. which they say breaks
all their previous records for a weeks
business. Needless to say there was no
time for idling about the office.
This. in connection with the thousands
of bushels bought by other grain deal
ers in Anthony and vicinity last week
would give one the impression that the
big wheat yields of which we are ac-
custored to boast are not in the least
exaggerated.
