FEMININE MEMBERS OF. A BELLE.
VIEW HOUSEHOLD LEFT FOR
PARTS UNKNOWN.

1t is reported that Belleview was
the scene Of big family row yester.
day afternoon and that to-day that
suburb to this city is minus some Of
its former residents. Pater familias
objected to his daughter, girl Of ten
der years, keeping company with a
certain young man. 1t is sail that
the head of the family directed his
wife to inform the young man as to
the age Of the girl. This was not
done and yesterday a heated argu'
ment took place. The wife and the girl
packed up and made ready to board
the first train out of the city. The
father got wise and endeavored to
thwart their plans. An officer was no.
titled of the intentions of the two that
intended leaving and directions were
given him TO detaln them, but they
got to the train and were carried
away by It before the officer could
render any assistance.

4 COMMON COMPLAINT.

The Wheeling News gives the fol.

plains of a Falrmont merchant who
complained because the Fairmont
newspapers do not publish as much
news as the Pittsburg papers. The
West yirginian says 1t could kick
with equal justice because the Fair
mont stores are not so big as the
Pittsburg stores, and classes the critic
with those dissatisfied persons who
think they have to go away from
home to get their moneys worth.

but noisy element which thinks there
Is nothing good at home and does all

wheeling there are few who pay as
much or more for articles in PIttsburg
as they would pay in Wheeling, and
are supremely happy in their delasion
that they have bargained better than
they could at home, and SO It goes
everywhere. Plttsburg held up by the

commerce, conducted a thuuderous
campaign against the misguided broth

we're published showing the amounts
Of money leaving Plttsburg and how
much cheaper Plttsburg sold goods

The Magnificent State Capitol Buiic
Natural Enthusiasm.

When person has been really helped
in getting rid OF some chronic malady,
after other things have failed, I'll is quite
natural for enthusiasm TO lead people
to make statement Of the fact.
For great services, gratitude is nat
ural.
This is the only way that 1t can posi-
bly, be explained why 1t is thatso many
persons prominent in public, diplomatic
and social life give testimony for
Actual Benefit.
Peruna promptly relieves.
This is the explanation.
Catarrh is disease difficult to relieve,
A great many OF the doctors fail to
relieve 1t.
Gratitude Results.
A few bottles Of Peruns cure chronic
malady of many years standing and tits
almost impossible to repress the natural
feelings OF gratitude which spring up.
Catarrh of Head and Throat
Mr.. Joseph Reiss, 1924 n. 18th street,
st. Louis, Mo-, writes:
81 had catarrh of the head and throat,
but through the use Of five bottles Of
Peruna and two bottles OF Manalin
was cured.
81 think that Peruna is the best tonic
that have ever used and | would adj
vie all catarrhal sufferers to use
Peruna."

Responsible People.

DEoPLE occupying positions OF high
I responsibility and trust are always
very busy people.
They have little or no time to devote
TO side issues.
Its therefore very rare that such peo.
pie are willing 10 write testimonials for
anything.
Then again there is a natural diff.
dence in giving public endorsement TO
any commercial enterprise on the part
of people who are much before the
public.
It Is thus thattt is very rare that pub
lie officials, like governors, congress
men, consuls, senator's, etc., give public
endorsement to proprietary medi'
cine.
1t is therefore o great triumph that
Peruna has the unqualified endorse
ment of SO many men in official posi-
ton.
Scores of public officials of national
reputation have enthusiastically de-
clared in favor Of Peruua in public
print over and over again.
A Startling Fact.
There is no way 10 account for such q
startling fact as this except that Peruna
has extraordinary unusual merit.
After all, people high and low, are
constituted very much alike.

ment list of taxable property held in
this county by public service eOrpor-
atoms doing business here has been
received from the State auditors Of.
flee by the clerk of the county court,
and it shows the assessments in sew
eral instances TO be somewhat higher
this year than those of last year. The
total amount of taxable property held
in Taylor CORY by these corporations
as shown by this return is $5,O99,OOO.
OF this 95 per cent. is the property of
the Baltimore 6 Ohio Railroad Com

NourIshment.
It is often said that most men eat
too much. 1t is undoubtedly true, but
not in a literal sense. The trouble is
that most of us eat a large quantity
OF inert matter to get small amount
of no1rlshment. A great many foods
have but low percentage Of nourish,
ment and the stomach is over burden.
ed. We should select our food more
carefully. One Of the most concen'
trated foods known is too little 'appre'
clated. 1t is olive oil. It's percentage
of nourishing power is over 1875. Think
of 1t! 1t Is very easy to digest and
is altogether excellent. BerI Olive OIL

1t seems strange that the local
morning daily can't Impress the peo-
pie with its Importance. 1t says it
has twice the circulation Of the West
virginian, but the West Virginian to-
day has more than twice as much adj
vertising as the big feeling morning
paper carried in to.day's issue. The
West vlrginlan has three whole page
ads. and its local competitor one, to
say nothing of large and healthy look
ing spaces filed with bargains by
merchants taking less than a page.
II the West Virginian can get twice
as much business with half the cir
culation Of its competitor there must
be a screw loose somewhere. Who can
locate it? Perhaps It is in the fine
quality OF the West vIrginlan's clrcu-
lation. 1t takes a slick newspaper. to
fool a merchant.

Denver, Nov. 13.-I. w. Mcconnell,
constructing engineer of the Uncom,
pahgre valley reclamation project, has
been made supervising engineer of the
reclamation service. His appointment
to this latter Office greatly enlarges the
scope of his work. His territory now

He has been in charge of the Gunni-
son tunnel project since it's inception
and has demonstrated his ability in the
practical manner in which lie has con
lucted that great undertaking. There
has been considerable switching of of
fees in the reclamation service, making
way for the new men. Consulting En-
gineer Quentin, whom Mr.. Mcconnell
succeeds in some of his work, goes to
Washington to take a place on a con.
sulting board.
