A FEW FACTS ABOUT LIVER TROUBLE

A dull, sluggish liver always brings
a dull, sluggish feeling to the entire
body. When the liver works properly
the blood courses through the body In
a bright red stream. When the liver
is inactive the blood becomes dull and
muddy, and It IL full OF poisonous
matter. A great msny people try to get
a fine, clear, pink and white complexion
by rubbing things on their faces. They
might rub lile,ime and the came yellow
complexion would remain-ior the liver
causes 1t. Only bright. red blood brings
fine complexion. Blood loaded with In
purities from the liver sends the I'm
purities ont through the pores OF the
skin and turns the skin brownish yel-
low.
To get rid OF the dull, heavy feeling
aud muddy, yellow complexion get the

OIL TRUST

Standard Exports 63 Per Cent.
Of Its Illuminating OIL
NEARLY ALL PORTS REACHED

John D. Archbold, Vice President OF
the Company, Says This Business
Was Secured In the Face Of Compe-
tltion Of 400 Foreign Companies.
Now After the Far East-The State
Department Great Help.
New York, Dec. THE develop
ment OF trade of the Standard OIL
company in foreign fields as subject
OF evidence in the governments suit
to dissolve the oil combine gave John
d. Archbold. vice president Of the
Standard, an opportunity as a witness
to spread upon the records some inter
esting features OF the Standards busi-
ness in foreign countries or the total
amount of Illuminating oil refined by
the Standard in 1906. Mr.. Archbold
stated that SO per cent was sold
abroad. Export figures OF other years
further showed that the Standard ex-
ported the major bulk of its illuminat-
ing oil.
The line of testimony with regard
10 the immense foreign trade indicates
that one of the defenses Of the Stand
ard is that the present combination
makes II possible to obtain this foreign
trade which. the company will en-
deavor TO show. brings trade balance
in favor of the United States. This
foreign business, Mr.. Archbold went

the competition OF 400 foreign com
psnies. Mr.. Archbold said that pro

it was the aim of the company 10
reach direct every consumer In the
Far East. as was done in this country.
Testimony was given by Mr.. Arch
bold that during the period OF the
Standard Oil trust the trustees poured
millions of the company's earnings
hack into the trust for the construc-
tion of new refineries and pipe lines.
Our state department has helped
us much" said Mr.. Archbold- In fact
we have been better treated with ref-
erence to our foreign business than
with our business at home"
There is hardly a port of the world,
said Mr.. Archbold. that the Standard
does not reach with its products. He
said that the Standard was putting in
every effort to reach the consumer
direct in the Orient. There are 123

dent of the Standard.
