CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.


The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every
form of Piles without one particle of
pain. This desirable point is not OBJ
tanned by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves OF the parts and make matters
worse in the long run But it is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And.while it thus gives immediate re-
lief, at the same time the disease is not
merely checked, but a radical cure is
rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle of pain.
This fact is one reason for the great
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
ence between it and almost any other
kind of treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
IN most cases is not to be compared
with the Pyramid Cure, neither in max
ing successful cures without pain nor in
cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public too long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to allow
at to be classed with the many SalveS,
risk in trying it, as is often the case
with new and untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepar-
ed by the Pyramid Drug Co, of Albion,
Mich, and sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

this city from Captain Wallace of the

from their lonely refuge were foiled by

Captain Wallace's letter states that
Captain Ullathorne, of the lost vessel,

the Walker had been blown so far away
from the island that it was impossible
to retrace her course,

PENNY PARCEL LEAGUE.
Government Asked to Establish a
Parcel Post System.

Chicago, April THE National Parcel
Post league is the name of an organiza-
ton formed at meeting of representa-
tives of several Chicago business houses
today at the Sherman house. The object
of the league is to induce the government
to establish a system of transporting small
packages of merchandise through the
mails after the manner of the parcel
post systems of Europe.
1t is claimed the high rates in this coun-
try practically give the express companies
a monopoly of the business and the added
claim is set up that if properly conducted
the new departure would be a source of
revenue to the government. 1t is pro-
posed to extend the organization through
out the country and establish auxiliary
branches in every state. The following
officers were elected: President, Elliott
Durand; vice president, G. P. Englehard;
secretary, L. Tillotson; treasurer, John
A King.

Pentecost lectured at Carnegie Music
hall last night before the unity congre-
cation on 1.-The Useless Slaughter of the
Birds" and made an appeal to the wo-
men not to wear the feathers of song
birds in their hates. He said
TT is not that women mean to be
heartless. They do not know the facts,
or do not stop to think of them. To
preserve the brilliant colOring the wings
of some birds are torn off from the liv-
ing bodies. If God meant women to
wear feathers He would have had
feathers grow on them. Women are
beautiful enough without feathers
Their beauty should be of the mind,
the character, the soul.
Some of our recent presidents have
been bird killers, and one or two Chris
tan ministers in this town have been
arrested for shooting birds against the
law Birds are our brothers and sis
ters If we are children of God, so are
they The same intelligence, life and
love that are in US are in them. If we
have SOULS, so have they. The differ
ence between us is not in kind but in
degree. Any cruelty practiced on the
birds we feel, although we may not
know it. They are a part of us. We
came up through them. We were once
