In a few moments the superintend-

What apartments have you?" ask

We've three vacant now-two on

Warren. What's the rent here %
"$1, 100 a year"
Helen glanced at Warren with a
little gesture of despair
Have you no front apartments for
less than that?" he asked
mo sir. All these front ones are
the same, but If you come in now,

Warren shrugged his shoulders,
THAT wouldn't be any inducement.
We've a lease where we are until
then. Who are the agents for this

"Clyne & Johnson
And 1 suppose if one got down to
business they'd make a shave on that
rent for a two-years' lease?"
The man shook his head. I'm
afraid not, sir: We've no trouble in
getting our prices, and this is the only
front one that's vacant"
When a few moments later they
left the building, Helen said anxious

YOU CAN'T EARN MONEY
WHEN YOU'RE LAID UP

There are lot of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you
can, but certainly some of your can't
for as soon as you are sick, your
wages stop and worry and debts be-
gin to pile up. The sensible thing
for you to do, as soon as you feel
rundown and worn out, no matter
what the cause, is to take something
just as quick as you can to build up
strength and health. Make yourself
more comfortable and provide
against serious sickness.
We don't believe there is any other
medicine made that will do as much
towards saving your health and thus
helping you save your money as Rex
all Olive Oil Emulsion. 1t is a medi-
cine that gets right at the trouble
and relieves it by toning the nerves,
enriching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole
body. 1t doesn't do this by means of
alcohol or habitforming drugs, be-
cause IL contains none. It's strength
and healthgiving power is due to
pure Olive Oil and the Hypophosphit-
es. long endorsed by successful physi
clans. the one for it's food value, the
other for its tonic value. Here.
for the first time. they are combined,
and the result is a real nerve, blood

is SUNDAY PAPER
A BARE NECESSITY

WESTON. w. Va. July 1.-THE
trial of T. p. Wright G Co., indicted
for selling newspapers on Sunday,
was called In the circuit court here
yesterday morning and drew n large
crowd during the argument Of conn-
sci. The Jurors were taken outside
the court room. The argument re-
suited in instructions from Judge
Maxwell that the burden Of proof
was upon the state and 1t was the
states duty TO prove that the selling
of n newspaper on,Sunday was not a
necessity.
The state failed to prove this and
the Judge instructed the jury TO find
the defendant not guilty. Counsel
for Wright pressed the hearing on
the second Indictment but the Judge
at the request OF Prosecuting Attor-
ney Bland laid It over until the next
term.
