SIMPLE AT FIRST

It Is Foolish to Neglect Any Form Of
Piles-Chre Them at the Beginning.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured. They can be cured even in
the worst stages without pain or loss Of
blood, quickly, surely and completely.
There is only one remedy that will do
it-Pyramid Pile Cure
It a1lays the Inflammation immediate

continued treatment reduces the swell
ing and puts the membranes into good.
sound, healthy condition. The cure IS
thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unsOlic-
tied testimonials we have lately receiv-
ed:
Mrs. NC. HfncI1ly, sol Mississippi St,

sufferer from the pain and annoyance
of piles for Is years. the Pyramid Pile

name my brother gave to all the cross
es. We got 81 females.
Now the fact is this was discovered
by accident. We did not care so much
about the sex at first as to make it a
success in getting the new race of cattle
and G. J. Jones, my brother would Oft
en- remark why so many females? Aft
er Which we studied the matter of sex
and made the discovery that as Dr..
Watson says, it is not necessary
for the mother to undergo any treat
ment, and that nourishment and diet
has nothing to do with the determining
of the sex of any thing.
am convinced with out experience
for ten years in trying to make the
crOSS-breed a success that any stock
breeder can control the sexes.
We had 100 domestic and 80 buffalo
cows in the herd. 1t was easy enough
to raise calves from the full blood buff
falO but in trying to croSS-breed was
where the trouble came. Time of year
and heat and cold, was taken in consid-
Grafton, and all the different kinds of
feed was tried. Yet every year the sex
would be the same. AS it was. we were
pleased on account of the female cat
telO,' they being worth $500, while
male "cattelO" was mule" not worth
very much. That is something that will
be new to Dr. Watson or DR.. Schenk or
to any other doctor living, in fact there
are great many facts that are not
generally known that have come to
light in the simple experimenting in
trying to get a new race of animals
from two of different kinds and yet
similar in many respects. These cattle
are all living now and doing well, where
in case of a calf with a buffalo father
it would, if it got all the milk it could
drink grow up to be a very large, strong
animal, yet would have the vicious ele-
ments in it like its dad and from the
time it first saw daylight it was ever
ready to fight.
a full buffalo calf, if taken from it's
mother and put with a domestic COW
that gave it all the milk it wanted
would grow a third larger than left
with it's buffalo mother. This we fire.
Quently did if it was safe to take a calf
from it's mother. the mother sometimes
gets a mad fit on her at the loss of her
calf and left the herd and wander away
going over and through any kind of a
fence. The domestic COW from the time
little buffalo once got q taste of her
milk was subjugated, it would boss her
around like a tyrant If she did not
stand for it to get it's dinner. it would
run in front of her and brace itself
against her neck and if that did not
stop her. would give her a thump in
the ribs as a mild persuasive.
A buffalo calf is like a bronco, kick
and buck and never could be tanned

For years Leavenworth was the head

Some of the leading citizens have al

RAPID TRANSIT VICTORY.
Bond for Underground Scheme in New
York Reduced to 100000.

New York, March ia substantial
victory was won for rapid transit to-
day.
Last December the appellate division
of the supreme court handed down a
decision which virtually blocked the
way for rapid transit with the under
ground scheme. The court held that
bond for 100000 should be required
from the builder of the road and maxi
ing the contractor responsible not only
for the building of the road, but also
for it's operation after construction
The SIS 1000. 600 was to be forfeited in
case the contractors defauIted in either
particular and the bond was to contin-
ue through the full term of operation,
or so years, at the end of which time
the city was to acquire the title to the
road. The decision was SO modified by
the appellate court today that only
$4,000, COO bond will be required for the
full term and S14,O00,000 during the
term of construction.

cRoWTH OF ExPoRr TRADE.

While existing conditions of trade be-
tween the United States and foreign
countries and the revenue situation re-
main as they are or Improve, it is
improbable that there will be any furth-
er disturbance of the tariff situation
The opponents of the Dingley law will
scarcely wish to disturb a situation
which includes an increasing revenue,
a steady flow of gold to our shores, a
large balance of trade in our favor and
q rapidly increasing volume of sales of
American manufactures to foreign
countries.

through the summer it is unlikely that
the discussion Of tariff matters will en-
ter extensively into the congressional
campaign. Along with our enormous
exports Of wheat, corn cotton and
meats, the sale Of American machinery
in foreign lands is increasing very rap
idly. 1t has been demonstrated again
and again that the best machinery in
