ROOM AND RECEPTION
ROOMS.
Plan for City Day at the Big West
Virginia State Fsir-new
Industries.

With Chairman G. w. Greig in the
chair, the directors OF the Wheeling
Business Mems association held a
very interesting meeting yesterday
morning at their quarters in the
Schmulbach building, at which sew
eral very important matters were con-
sidered. chief among which was the
consideration of securing a new home
for the association, TO be equipped
with a dining hall and reception
room. For some time the business
men have been considering this pro-
ject. and indications are that the new
home will be secured within a few
weeks.
Since the organization was formed
three years ago ii has grown rapidly
in membership. until at present the
quarters are too small. New quarters
will probably be secured In some OF
the new buildings of the city, and a
suite OF rooms rented. Luncheon will
be served each day TO the members.
while the reception and reading room
will prove a place OF recreation for
tho members.
Plans for city day at the fair were
also discussed. and IL the Fair as
sociation approve OF the plans of the
business men, city day this year will
surpass any other event of It's kind
held in this city. A big parade will
be held. at which prizes will be
awarded TO the best display. Other
features will also be added TO the
event. which will no doubt prove a
great success.
The association decided TO send a
delegation 10 the meeting OF the
Pennsylvania Business Mems associ-
alton. while thirty members decided
TO attend the meeting OF the West
Virginia association at FAirmont. This
meeting will open on August sth.
Diversified Industries.
Yesterday was the first meeting OF
the association since the annual
meeting at the Oaks. and for this
reason IL was very important one.
The diversified Industries proposition
was discussed at length. as were also
the plans for the guarantee fund. 4
committee of the association will be
appointed 10 visit the cities where
this plan has been adopted TO study
the result The association hopes To
be able TO bring many new indus
tries to this city within short time.

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview or the subject, made the
astonishing statement that the reason
why SO many applicants for insurance are
rejected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of the applicants do not
even suspect that they have the disease
lie states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who arc constantly i'll direct touch with
the public. there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful i'll re-
licving and curing these diseases than any
remedy known. The mild and healing
influence OF Or. klmer,s Swamp, Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound, and We would adj
wise our readers who feel in need OF such d
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes
fifty cents and one dollar.
However, if you wish first to test its
wonderful merits, send to DR.. Kilmcr &
Co, Binghanton, y. y, for sample
