M. D.

Instead of occupying a building on Virginia street, just west of Capitol, at Charleston, Walter Biltman and McLean Nash, who recently purchased the fixtures formerly owned by Scott Brothers, of that city, will install their establishment in the quarters recently occupied by the Bismarck restaurant and hotel, on Capitol street, almost directly opposite the new Federal building and postoffice. The location is considered one of the most ideal in the city and the new concern will have a store that will be up to date in every particular. A number of Charleston men with money aside from the two mentioned, will be interested in this store.

H. J. Smith, manager of the Scarboro Drug Company's store at Scarboro, Fayette county, was a business visitor in Charleston recently. He came to purchase goods for his establishment which is one of the biggest drug stores in his county. It is operated at the chief works of the White Oak Fuel Company, and enjoys an enormous trade. Mr. Smith, just before going with the company, invented a shaving preparation for which he has a trade mark calling for the name "Dermit." He had intended to form a compnay, incorporate and put this preparation on the market in big lots, but so far has not done so.

Phil D. Phillips, the Spencer, Roane county, Rexall man, said recently that this year his store would do the biggest business in its history. Spencer is the center of the Roane county oil development and Mr. Phillips has made his business keep pace with the times in that part of the state. He makes a specialty of mail orders and does a heavy business in the districts outside of Spencer. He is one of the best known of the business men of the entire county and it has been greatly through his personal popularity that he has made a decided success in his business.

A. M. Whittaker, representing Orr, Brown & Price Company, of Columbus, Ohio, was in Charleston recently and did a very satisfactory business. He has been on the road a great many years and Charleston is one of his important stops. He sells some of the big stores of the Capital City and is one of the most popular of the traveling salesmen who strikes that trade.

C. A. Potterfield, whose store at the corner of Capitol and Virginia streets, in Charleston, has become too small for his business, had no

other way to get more room than to make a balcony on both sides of his store. It adds fifty per cent more space for his stock, and handy cases and shelves have been arranged the entire length of both sides. Stairs in the rear part of the store lead to the balcony, and neat metal pipes have formed a safety fence about it. The balcony is six feet high and in it has already been stored almost as much stock as was originally carried on the shelves extending from the main floor. Dr. Potterfield is one of the pioneer druggists of Chalreston and his business one of the heaviest of any of the Charleston stores.

Disque, the druggist at 615 Wells street, Sistersville, has made a number of improvements on and in his store this spring, and his business is increasing with pleasing rapidity. While this store was started with only ordinary prospects it has grown into one of big business and courteous treatment for all patrons is accredited with having added fifty per cent to the business in the past ten months.

The F. S. Johnson Drug Company at Elkins, by the introduction of modern methods of business, has developed a business that is known throughout Randolph county. "Keeping in step with other businesses has long been our motto," remarked Mr. Johnson when congratulated on the neat appearance of his popular store, "and we often go them one better by introducing something new. Yes, we sell almost as many postage stamps as do many of the sub-postoffices in the country. We believe in accommodating everyone who comes into our store, whether to make a purchase or just to look around."

At Morgantown, the University City, are found some of the most up-to-the-minute business establishments in the state. J. C. McVicker's drug store is a type. This business has grown into an important one and it is known throughout Monongalia county. It is a popular rendezvous of the college students and a mecca for the other young folks of the town and surrounding community. The spring trade has been remarkably heavy.

In keeping with the progress of the town in a general way, Dr. R. Ney Williams will soon have one of the finest business buildings in Kenova, the thriving business and industrial center of Wayne county. The Williams block will be alongside the First National bank build

ing, built of red pressed brick, the same color as the bank structure. The entire first floor will be occupied by Dr. Williams' drug store and the second floor will be made into desirable apartments. A Ceredo contractor was given the contract for the brick work and the supervision of the work will be done by Architect John R. Gieske. Dr. Williams is the pioneer druggist of Kenova. He is one of the liberal minded citizens of the town and country and is progressive in his ideas. He is making a large ivestment, because he has great confidence in the future of his town. For many years he has been making improvements, ard now his establishment represents everything that is up-to-date. In fact his store is conducted like the finer ones of the bigger cities.

Fire recently destroyed $2,000 worth of manufactured products in the plant of the Standard Medicine Company's office of Fourteenth street and Adams avenue, in West Huntington. The fire started from an unknown cause and had gained considerable headway before it was discovered. Alcohol, an ingredient of some of the medicines, added intensity to the flames. The Standard has been in business but about one year and its products are in wide demand. The fire caused no delay in the filling of orders, and business was continued without interference other than the inconvenience due to the destruction of the principal office in which all the books of the concern were kept and in which orders were filled.

Light and Window Display-Colors of Back

grounds.

The American Architect (New York) has printed the following as to the amount of light given back by different colored surfaces:

Dark blue reflects 62 per cent. of the light falling upon it.

Dark green about 10 per cent.

Pale red, a little more than 16 per cent.
Dark yellow, 20 per cent.
Pale blue, 30 per cent.
Pale yellow, 40 per cent.
Pale green, 461⁄2 per cent.
Pale orange, nearly 55 per cent.
And pale white, 70 per cent.

A window finished in white oak, can be lighted with much less wattage than a window finished in dark mahogany; likewise, a window in which white goods are displayed, can be lighted much more economically than a window for a display of dark clothing, furniture or hardware, such as stoves, tools and goods of a like nature.-Goood Storekeeping.

Grade Notes

Pollantin In the Treatment of Hay Fever.

Following is a ten-year record of practical and highly satisfactory demonstrations of Dunbar's Serum Therapy, and would appear as a fitting occasion to repeat in part the history of hay fever and its theories.

1819. Bostock, an English physician, was the first to give a scientific and accurate description of the sickness. Bostock traced the ailment, whose periodic appearance he well recognized, to the first heat of Spring or dazzling sunshine, to dust or similar atmospheric influences, which attack the eye. Inasmuch, however, as these influences are not bounden to the definite expressed time of the hay fever, this explanation could not satisfy.

1831. Elliotson accepted another moment as its solvent, crediting the pollen of certain plants as the excitant cause, obviously, to be sure, without founding same on actual proofs. Such were first brought to notice in

1873. By Blackley, who pointed out that certain pollen, thus from Rye and other grasses, whose presence in the atmosphere at the time the hay fever was established, were capable by penetrating the mucous membrane of the hay fever patient to produce the typical symptoms.

This pollen theory which to-day we have again learned to be correct, was dropped by the soon following development of Bacteriology in favor, as first expressed by Hemholtz, of its bacterial cause.

Hemholtz, like other investigators, found in the mucosa of the patient vibrones and staphylococci, which by their discoverers were accepted as the hay fever excitant, although, obviously, no subsequent tests to prove this perception by bringing the bacterial culture to the sensitive mucous membrane were made. Again other authors saw the causal agent as due to the aromatic, or other volatile emanations from plants during blossom time.

1902. To these contradictory, and in part not subsequently tested conceptions, the work of Dunbar, associated with Prausnitz, Kammann, Weichardt, Kattein, Liefmann, Lubbert and others, brought complete clearing.

1904. Pollantin, succeeding tentative trials made during the intervening two years, was practically placed, and announced to the medical profession.

Major's Cement a Profitable Line.

The display box that the Major's Cement people are using is a great success. It helps to remind the people of the broken articles they have at home and in that way it helps to dispose of the goods. They offer to refund the money you paid for the Cement if any of it is left on hand after a reasonable time so in that way the retailer is perfectly safe to order a dozen of each size, 10 cents and 15 cents. At least they are perfectly safe to order one dozen of the 10 cents size at once.

The druggist has to handle a good many low priced articles. He might just as well increase his business by adding one more kind to his stock. If the display box will sell the goods you might just as well have it and profit by the sale of that one article as well as others. In fact it may sell much better than a great many other small articles that the druggists may handle. [Adv.]

A New York Merchant.

Having passed several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, and becoming convinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was just the article needed, procured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have it administered to the child, as she was strongly in favor of Homœopathy. That night the child passed in suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse; and while contemplating another sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child. During her absence he administered a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offended at the deception practiced upon her, has continued to use the Syrup, and suffering, crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all druggists.-[Adv.]
