There is a Heap Of Solace in Be.

For months Sistersville readers
have seen the constant expression
of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills
and read about the good work
they have done in this locality.
Not another remedy ever produc-
ed such convincing proof OF mer-
| it:
Mrs. Frederick Haberling,
wife of Philip Haverling, electri-
cal engineer, living at GOT Woosr
ter street, Marietta, O., says
"Mr. Hamerling is as ardent an
advocate for Doan's Kidney Pills
as he was some three and a half
years ago when he gave a testi-
monial for publication touching
the merits Of this remedy. 1t was
some six years prior to that time
while in Mt. Clemens, Mich, that
he first learned Of Doan's Kidney
Pills. He has been subject to at
tacks of kidney trouble and ever
since he found such positive re-
lief from the use of this remedy
he has resorted to it's use and it
has never failed to dispel all
symptoms of the attack. I have
also used them for pain in my
back and kidney trouble, which
at times made it difficult for me
to do my work. Three boxes alb
solutely cured me, and not a trace
of kidney trouble remained for
five years after. At that time I
noticed a recurrence due, I think
to overwork. I again appealed
to Doan's Kidney Pills and the
results were so satisfactory that
my faith in them was greatly
strengthened. I have no hesitan-
cy in giving this medicine my en-
dorsement, for it acts up to the
representations made for it"

What Opposition
Does In The
Oil Business

Announcement was made sew
eral weeks ago of the construction
of $1,000 barrel oil tank on the
Holmes farm at Gravel Bank. At
that time it was supposed that
there would be something doing
in the oil business in that vicinity
and the supposition has proven
correct.
The building of the tank was
for the purpose of freezing out the
National Pipe Line company; and
steps to that end have and are
being taken.
The tank is called the property
Of the Vacuum Oil company, but
it is believed and is almost an as
sured fact that the company back
of the enterprise is the all-power-
full Standard Oil company in dis
guise.
The National Pipe Line COM
pany, a home institution, has been
paying three cents per barrel
above the Standards price, and
the latter evidently did not like
the business gotten by the former
concern and intend putting it to
the bad.
The Vacuum company has
raised the price of the Standard
ten cents on the barrel, and is
making yearly contracts with the
producers at Gravel Bank and the
surrounding fields. 1t has al
ready secured the fluid from one
farm at least, and will undOubt-
edly get more when it has COM
pleted connections which will be
made in a short time.
The National will die game, If
it dies at all, and has raised its
price three cents more on the bar
rel than the Vacuum, which is
thirteen cents higher than the
regular price of the Standard.
The local company will not make
contracts, but will endeavor to
weather the storm, and it is hoped
by the people of Marietta that it
can do this.
Gravel Bank and surrounding
fields produce great quantities OF
oil and the fight for the output
promises to be an interesting one
and the outcome will be watched
with great interest by the oil fra
ternity. and the people in general.
Ten to thirteen cents on the bar
rel means much to the producer,
and he will, for the most part,
sell where the most money is IN
sight.
II. G.. Porterfcld is making the
contracts for the Vacuum and has
charge of their work in this vicln-

Debility Due

A Close Relation Has Been Estab,

"Catarrh is clearly the cause of
debil ty," said Mr.. Hill, of the
firm of Hill Bros. "No person
free of catarrh in my opinion was
ever troubled with debility. So
you will readily understand that
the cure Of debility depends en-
tirely on the cleaning out Of the
catarrhal parasites. No debility
cure will ever cure you as long as
you have catarrh. Catarrh is the
cause. Debility is the result.
Then YOU get rid of the cause. No
remedy will ever cure You but a
catarrh remedy, and no other
remedy will do it but ReXall Mu-
cu-Tone. | make this statement
because we know what Mucu'
Tone is and what it will dO-and
doesn t it stand to reason that a
remedy designed for one partlc-
ular purpose-as Mucu-Tone for
catarrh only-is going to give re-
suits hundred times better than
cure-all that aims at every dis
ease in the dictionary? Read what
Aid. Robert X. Sloan, of the 9Th
