Robert arrived the next morning

their work Dr. Malet was announced.
He came quietly into the room. He

physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality

poisonous elements, such as uric acid

and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric double strength) is put up
in tablet form, and can be obtained at
almost any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid in
the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves the uric
acid as hot water does sugar. Discovered
by DR.. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent old age by simply slipping q
cup of hot water every morning before
breakfast, taking little Anuric before
meals and live to be hundred.

DOLLAR OIL At LAST
Effective Today HealdtOn Crude Goes
Up lOc, Being the First Increase Since
Midwnter-May Reduce the Amount
In Storage

The Ardmoreite is in receipt Of the
following telegram from the Magnolia
Petroleum company, at Dallas:
Effective August first Healdton crude
one dollar"
This is the first increase in price
since midwinter, when the soc figure
was first posted and comes without any
previous notice whatever
The fact that an effort has been
made for some time to secure a con.
siderable increase and the further fact
that a large amount Of oil has been
placed in storage because Of the low
price has probably had a bearing on
the action by the Magnolia company
which sets the price in this field.
While the increase is comparatively
small it is an indication that cogni.
zance is being taken OF the situation
and II viii not be surprising If another
increase is made within the next thirty
days at the latest, and that ultimately
Healdton crude viii go TO $3.50, its ac.
tual value at this time, as compared
with the price paid for other oils.
There are now approximately $4,000.

for a report of the amount in storage

Of Ardmore, mace the following state
ment this morning regarding the con
tractors side Of the question:
Negotiations between the building
contractors and the carpenters union
have been carried on since about May
20. a number of counter-proposition
have been made by both the union and
the contractors association. in an effort
TO reach a peaceable settlement. Both
organizations have had committees
which have met a number of times, and
1t was hoped, even until last night. that
the strike would be averted.
The original wage increase of the
carpenters was 20 per cent. which would
bring 1t up to IS cents per hour.
The failure Of an agreement by these
committees has resulted in the aban
donment of the IS cent scale and the
adoption Of a 81 1-2 cent scale. A half
holiday on Saturdays voted at the same
time as the proposed 70 cent scale. will
go into effect, beginning next Satur.
day.
The main reason for failure of a
compromise was the refusal of the un.
ion to finish the old work at the scale
prevalent at the time contracts were
let. Compromise measures offered by
the contractors was So cents, beginning
October l, and running until April l.
The contractors have been ready
all the time, and are yet. to do any.
thing that seems to be to the best in.
