1t is all right to agitate the appoint
ment of a chief of the fire department,
but the wishes of the department
should have some weight in the mat

be required once in ten years. Let an
arrangement be made so that when
there is fire on the East Side the Ar
tesians shall respond, and when there
is fire on the West Side let the Crys-
tails respond, and neither company go
out of their district unless a call for
help shall be sounded by the gong.

claims OF the makers of the new dis
covery for cure OF all forms of piles.
known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure, nevertheless the extraordin-
ary cures performed by this remedy
are such as TO warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. As a case In poin:
the following letter speaks for itself.

1t to several Of my friends and l am
thankful to be able to write you what

Physicians recommend the Pyramid
| Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind.
| and because 1t is so safe and pleasant
| to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in sur

The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
If there is any constipation it is we'll
to use the PYRAMID Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure as constipation
is very often the cause of piles and the
pills effectually remove the costive con-
dition. Price of pills is % cents per
! package.

Mich, for little book on cause and cure
of piles; sent by mail free.
