ness exceeded the percentage OF increase

NO BETTER WAY TO
BREAK A BAD COLD
Surely Cures the Most Severe Cold and
Ends Grippe Misery in Just
Few Hours

The most effective and harmless way
to cure the grippe or break a severe cold
either in the head, chest, back, stomach
or limbs, is dose of Pape's Cold Gem
pound every two hours until three con
secutive doses are taken.
You will distinctly feel the cold
breaking and all grippe symptoms going
after the very first dose. II promptly
relieves the most miserable headache,
dullness, head and nose stuffed up, fever
ishness, sneezing, sore throat, runring
of the nose, soreness, stiffness and rheu-
matte aching.
Take this harmless compound as d.
rected, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine made anywhere
else in the world which will cure your
cold or end grippe misery as promptly
and without any other assistance or
bad after-effects as 25-cent package
of Pape's Cold Compound, which any
druggist in the world can supply.
After three years research we have
conclusively demonstrated that quinine
is not effective in the treatment of
colds or grippe.

PRICE OF. OIL SCARS
SINCE DISSOLUTION
Court Decree Not the Cause, However,
Say Officials of the Stand
ard

New York, Feb. 2.-Prices of oil have
been going UP steadily since the dis
solution of the so-called oil trust by the
decree of the United States supreme
court, and representative of the Stand
ard Oil company said yesterday that
they would probably 90 higher. Three
times this year the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey has advanced the
price which it pays to oil well owners
for crude oil, and there have been cor
responding increases in the wholesale
and retail quotations for kerosene, gaso-
line and others of the refined products.
Gasoline has risen two cents a gal
lon in the New York market. Auto
mobile dealers estimate the advance
means an increase of more than $780,
00a month in the cost of running
the automobiles in New York state.
Since the first of the year there has
been an advance of two cents per gall
lon in the price established by the Stand
ard Oil company for petroleum deliv-
cred by a wagon to consumers in this
city. Not only in New York, but else
where through the country have prices
been raised. The increased cost of con-
Quoting the 80 companies into which
the oil trust was divided as compared
with the expenses of the compact or
ganization which existed under the old
regime has been advanced as reason
for the rise in prices. According to ]. |.
G. Clarke the mouthpiece of the Stand
ard Oil company, this theory is not
correct. Mr.. Clarke said that the high
err prices were due to economic condi-
tions. The Pennsylvania fields, he said,
supply the best crude oil, and as the
output of that product has been INSULT
cient, the price of Pennsylvania oil
has been advanced to stimulate produc-
ton in the Pennsylvania field to the
required basis.
