OUR MILITARY MISMANAGEMENT
 AND ITS CAUSE,

Men go to war to fight. To fight means at times to march all night, to go hungry, to get wet. Those with no stay at home; it is not pleasure out ing. But the deprivations that come as through unlearned, stupid management, and of this there was much in the San tiago campaign.
 It might be inappropriately be called a campaign of blunders. First of all was the infirmity of purpose at Wash ington; then the choice of Tampa, utterly unsuited to be either point of mobilization or departure. Its one railroad track was blocked for miles and for days with the supplies for which the troops were waiting at Tampa. The quartermaster deficiencies so glaring as to make one stare the lack of system in loading transports, which made confusion in the unloading; se- paration of articles that should be to- gether; mixing of hospital supplies with the natural result of things may be greatly and unnecessarily increased general merchandise; and the storing things wanted first, while things not wanted were heaped on top.
 There were incompetent officials in plenty but how could it be otherwise when we consider the attitude of our government towards the army for the last thirty years? Not in the memory had there before been an assembling of the army nor even manoeuvres in divi- sions or corps. Distributed throughout the country, broken up for post and garrison duty, what else but confusion and blundering conld be expected to ensue when quartermasters and others who had never been more than frag- ments were called upon for swift and systematic handling of large bodies of men? For years the government has cut the army into fragmental duty scattered its staff organization, denied it facilities for corps drill, and it's staff experience in transportation, refused to reserve stock of munitions, equipment, etc. And suddenly, when called on to exhibit all these, naturally we have in- competent and foundering officials. l Some excuse can be found for the in- | dividuals, but none for the government Harper's Magazine.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR PILES.
Safe and Effective in Every Form of This Common and Annoying
 DiSeaSo,

Many people suffer from piles, be- cause after trying the many lotions, salves and ointments without relief or cure, have come to the conclusion that surgical operation Is the only thing left to try and rather than submit to the shock and risk to life of an opera ton, prefer to suffer on. Fortunately this is no longer necessary, the Pyra- mid Pile Cure, a new preparation cures every form of piles, without pain, in- convenience or detention from busi- ness.
 It Is in the form of suppositories, easily applied, absolutely free from opium, cocaine, or any injurious sub- stance whatever, and no matter how severe the pain, gives instant relief, not by deadening the nerves of the parts, but rather by its healing, sooth- ing effect upon congested membranes.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most effective, the safest and most exten- sively sold of any Pile Cure that has ever been placed before the public, and this reputation has been secured by req son of it's extraordinary merit and the reasonable price at which 1t is sold, all druggists selling it at 50 cents and $1 per package, and in many cases a sin gle package has been sufficient
 A person takes serious chances in neglecting simple case of piles as the trouble soon becomes deep seated and chronic, and very frequently develops into fatal incurable rectal diseases, like fistula and rectal ulcers
 Any druggist will tell you the Pyra- mid is the safest, most satisfactory pile cure made.
 The Pyramid Co.,. Marshall, Mich, will send to any address a treatise on cause and cure of piles, also book of testimonials

Clarence Deming says that the past season was the best for bass that he has ever known at Bantam Lake. He 1lshed on twenty days and caught from ninety to one hundred bass, which aV- eraged 1A pounds apiece. He caught fourteen bass each weighing three pounds or more and four weighing three and three quarters pounds. The best fishing was in September and the largest catch for one day was eighteen with one bass tipping the scales at three and quarters pounds. That is pretty good record for this part of the country.-Litchfield Enquirer.

Late Dir,ing; Injurious to Health. Causes Dyspepsia, Wakeful-
 ness and Insomnia.

The habit of dining out at night after concerts and theatres, or at balls, brings about good deal of suffering. The stomach is overloaded without the nec- essary activity to aid the digestion. The tossing about at night and sleeplessness are the immediate results. Dyspepsia and indigestion are sure to follow in it's course.
 One glassful of Johann Hof's Malt Extract taken before retiring will re- move all this trouble. It will aid the proper assimilation of the food and produce a healthy, sound sleep. Johann Hoff's Malt Extract should also be taken during the day with every meal, particularly by week and debili- tated people and children who lack the necessary power to digest solid food.
 The Genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Ex- tract has remarkable nutritious action, both tonic and invigorating, and has proved to be of great value in chronic diseases, producing contractions of the muscles of the digestive organs.
 Prof. Coleman of Glasgow, Scotland, read lecture before the Philosophical Society, in which he said:
 Our esteemed President brought Johann Hoffs Malt Extract under my notice about twelve months ago, and acquainted me with the fact of its hav- ing in many cases coming under his own observation proved of service in restoring the energies of individuals sui fering from faulty nutrition.
 Suffering at the time from an attack of illness which had not only reduced my strength, but brought on extreme exhaustion from inability to appropriate food, tried the effect of Johann Hoff' s Malt Extract in the usual dose of wine- glassful twice or three times day.
 It's use was followed by marked effects.
 First-Food which had hitherto been found to pass the alimentary canal un- changed, digested properly.
 Second There appeared an increased power of evolving animal heat and stor- ing up fat"

MOUNT VERNON.

The best is the cheapest in the end is true in regard to wines and Whiskey, because they are purer, and one gains more satisfaction from the use of high grade wine and whiskey. The brand of whiskey known as the Mount Vernon is renowned for it's fine flavor and pur- ity. For forty years 1t has been sold in the open market, and no brand of whiskey has a more enviable reputa- tion. It is put up in square bottles and each bottle has the guaranty label of the distilling company, and the caps are wired and sealed. Do not be de- ceived by persons who offer you some thing just as good. Use the Mount Vernon and no other.
