EPIDEMIC OF LAZlNtSS
Prevalent at the City Prison An Heroic
 Remedy.

Prisoners in the city jail have habit of pretending to be sick and thus escap- ing work on the streets
 The authorities have become somewhat weary of feeding able-boded men whose only ailment is constitutional laziness, and have determined to put stop to it. Whenever a prisoner says he is sick the city physician is at once summoned and examines him. If in the doctors opinion the prisoner is perfectly able to work, he is carried before Judge Feagin and an ad- ditional fine placed against him.
 Several have been treated this way of late, and sickness now is not quite so pre- yalent as heretofore.

FALLING IN LINE,
Democrats Who Were Opposed to the Conven-
 tion Plan.

Workers in the democratic ranks who were opposed to the nomination of Jeff ferson's legislators by convention have gracefully yielded their position and are now hard at work using their influence to make the convention success and have it nominate six good legislators
 Some of the legislative candidates who have already announced themselves say that the convention is the best plan that could have been adopted; that if they de- serve the nomination they think they are sure to get it in a convention than in a primary. Others say that while they think the primary plan for nominating the leg islators is the better plan, still they can make a good fight before the convention. All agree, however, that the action of the committee should be upheld.

Home Attachments.

When you hear Il man or woman
deprecating the fact that his or her
lot has been cast in a certain locality
and not somewhere else, you may
Justly conclude that there is some
thing wrong-not with the locality,
but with the person. A normally
constituted mind cannot help dwell
ing with pleasure upon the recollec
tions OF childhood. Those scenes
will never fade from his memory.
But on the contrary they will grow
brighter and more beautiful as time
wears on, and when old age dims the
faculties, and robs life of its zest,
these scenes remain TO soothe and
sustain us as we totter down Life's
sunny slope.
1t is the frivolous and brainless
who cannot form an attachment to
home, and long to forget themselves
in the excitement of new scenes and
unfamiliar thugs. Let us think our
own thoughts occasionally. Who is
this or that popular novelist or
dreamer that you must give up your
own cogitations and replace them
with his? Too much reading is
worse than none, as gluttony is worse
than abstemiousness. Intellectual
food must be digested and assimilated
or IL will not strengthen the mind.
IL our surroundings are too plain,
We should have imagination enough
to color them to our own taste
create an ideal palace and fill il with
ideal people. Those who run away
from one community because the
people are not agreeable to them,
will soon find that they are not agree
able to the people in new places.
Love of home is a faculty of the
mind, composed of what is best OF
all the other faculties. 1t does not
depend upon the kind of home,
The occupants Of the most luxurious
mansions are just as likely to want to
travel, az those who dwell in hoyel.
To be incapable of forming an at
tachment to a place is a great ms
fortune. 1t makes the professional
tramp andPthe chronic traveller. IL
argues want Of intellect and want OF
characker. Humanity, the sky, the
arth, N much the same wherever we

DO 1T YOURSELF

You can tell just as well as q physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is to take q bottle or glass tum-
bier aud fill it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substaucc-at the
bottom after standing day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire TO uriuate
often aud still another sign is pam in the
back. If urine stains linen. there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected
Any and all diseases of the kidneys liver,
bladder and Of the urinary passages and con-
stipation of the bowels a'e cured by DIR
David Kennedy's FavOrtc Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best and
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
II quickly relieves aud cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up number OF
times during the night. For putting AN end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine. nothing is so good as Dr David Ken
ned's Favortc Remedy. II cOrrects the bad
effects of whiskey aud beer; is pleasant to
the taste, aud does not seem to be mcdiriuc
at all. Diseases of the kidneys and Bladder
often require the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine cam h"
voided In such cases FavUritc Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal. 1t is sold for one
dollar bottle at all drug stores. 1t is well
worth many times its price.

A PLAUGE OF THE NIGHT
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
TAI TROUBLES EASILY CURED
BYA NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suffers from
some form of rectal disease. The most com
mon and annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and intense, un-
controllable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some simple
ointment or salve which sometimes give tenn
porary relief, but nothing like a permanent
cure can be expected from such superficial
treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure, not
only for itching piles, but for every other form
of piles, blind, bleeding or pro,ruding. The
first application gives instant relief and the
continued use for short time causes a per
manent removal of the tumors or the small
parasites which cause the intense itching and
discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for loug time supposed
that the remarkable relief afforded by the
Pyramid Pile Cure was because it was sup
posed to contain cocaine, opium or similar
drugs, but such is not the case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to be
absolutely free from any cocaine, opium, OF
in fact any poisonous, injurious drugs what
ever.
Foi this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively recon-
mended by physicians, because it is so safe, so
prompt in the relief afforded and so far as
known the only positive cure for piles except
a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has be-
come the best known, the safest and the most
extensively sold of any pile cure before the
public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so cents
and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Marshall, Mich.
for book on cause and cure of piles and also
hundreds OF testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering from any form of piles ask your
druggist for package Of Pyramid Pile Cure
and try it tonight.
