IN A FEW WORDS.
Sufferers from Piles May Learn of n
 Harmless, Lasting Cure.


 There are plenty Of pile cures which give relief and sometimes cure a mild case of piles but there is only one which can be depended upon with cer- taipty to cure obstinate, long standing cases and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure.
 Endorsements and testimonials are received daily from men and women whose integrity and reliability are above question and in this connection a letter received from the Rev. Jas. H. Wesbrook of Browne, Mich, may be of interest to pile sufferers who have sought in vain for cure. He says
 I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and know that it is all that is claimed for it. I had been troubled with piles more or less for about eighteen years and had tried other remedies, but the piles grew worse until about ten months ago used the Pyramid Pile Cure. It gave almost instant relief and I have been free from piles ever since. --Rey. Jas. H. Westbrook.
 MT. Frank Smith, the well known and popular druggist of Ypsilanti, hlCll, III SpSGihllE ol lHc etiillNl AlC Cure says: "A year ago I sold c. c. Potter, 119 Hamilton St., Ypsilanti, Mich, a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the following statement to me to-day: T have been troubled for twenty years with itching piles Have tried nearly everything that promised relief, but got very little help until one year ago I called on my druggist, Frank Smith, and got box of the Py- ramid Pile Cure. The one bCx used ac- cording to directions was, in my case, a perfect cure as year spent without any symptoms of the trouble has con- vinced me-"
 Although a comparatively new rem edy, it's popularity is such, that all druggists now sell it; if your druggist hasn't it in stock, he will get it for you if you ask him at 50 cer1,s and $1,00 per package.

"The Duel" a sensational act which enDodies a disrobing scene, and which has been making New York talk for some weeks. is billed for next week at Manager Polls theater. The play shows two women, a model who has been pos ing as Diana, and a jealous countess, fighting with swords over the love of the artist Manager Poli says he has made contract to temper the act, so there will be nothing objectionable in it.

A STUDY OF FOODS

The agricultural department is doing
good work in prosecuting an investi-
cation into the food habits of families
in the congested districts of the larger
seaboard cities, the theory being that
the surest way to improve the condition
of the people is to give them practical
instruction and object lessons in the
preparation of attractive yet simple and
cheap foods. This Is a broad field OF
inquiry, and one that may be profitably
exploited in the interest of the great
middle class, as we'll as of the extremely
poor.
Lord Beaconsfield is credited with de-
claring that there is a most intimate
connection between the prosperity of q
country and it's chemical industries. Of
these we have comparatively few, but
we may have a more thorough and diff.
fusive knowledge of the subtleties o.
chemistry without directly engaging il
their manufacture, though if sole de.
pendence for the dissemination of thi.
knowledge is had upon the government
our progress will be slow.
Associations for the improvement O.
the poor, such as exist in New York
The herald., 1898-03-06
.umbers, widely distributed for the con-

numbers, widely distributed for the con-
venience of congested populations. but
the perfection and cheapening of
rapid transit in cities, especially
during the last two decades, is
again influencing municipalities in
the direction of larger areas, where the
expense of maintenance may be mini
mized and the advantages and attract
ions of music and boating, dramatic en-
tertainments and the like, may be the
more available to the multitude.
There is perhaps no other city of equal
proportions so well provided with small
parks as Los Angeles, nor is 1t likely the
Importance of the extension of our park
system within the municipal boundaries
will be overlooked in the future as the
city expends.
But while the needs of the populace
are being supplied in this direction,
comprehensive system of Improvement
and establishment of Griffith park will
soon need to be devised and entered
upon, If the present generation is to
enjoy the great benefits which its pos
session is supposed to confer. When its
vast area, topography, picturesque en-
vironment and slightly location are con-
sidered, in connection with the abundant
supply of water accessible and climate
favorable to the profuse production of
verdure and foliage, it is not difficult
to comprehend the possibilities Of max
ing Griffith park the most beautiful. as
it is now the largest, public breathing
place on the globe, we'll worth journey
across the continent to see. Years of
systematic endeavor and the expendi-
ture of large sum of money will be re-
uuired to transform it into the Paradise
of the Pacific. but the public spirit en-
terprise and far-sighted wisdom of our
people will doubtless rise superior to
all difficulties, sweeping them aside as
they appear.
The fact that the area comprised in
the park is practically virgin soil will
simplify the work of improvement.
There are no natural obstacles to re-
move. Nature has been lavish in it's
gifts. But the contemplated metamor-
phosis calls for a master mind. and the
commission should issue to no other.
