NO PRESIDENTIAL BEE.
Dewey Says He Is Not a Candidate
for the Presidency.

New York. April 9.-Admiral
Dewey has given to the Manila cor
respondent of Leslie's Weekly an
Interview regarding the suggestion
that the admiral be made a candi-
date for the presidency next year.
The admiral said as to his politics !:
AZ am a sailor. A sailor has no
politics. The administration is his
party, and Republican or Democrat

was usually Influenced by personal
preference or local conditions. I
am not politician, have never
held political Offices aud am totally
ignorant of party intrioaeies and
affiliations"
Admiral Dewey said that neither
bv avocation, position, education
or training vas he capacitated to
FL the presidency. he said that
he was too well along in life to
consider such a possibility. His
health would not admit it. All
his ife's work was in different
lines of effort and that while the
kindness and enthusiasm of his
friends were gratifying to him, and
the generous tributes Of the Amer
lean people were dear to Him, he
could not lad would not be a eandi

A Question Often Asked by
Those Afflicted With Piles.

local inflammation durable! Of
course, if properly treated. So
are piles.
People become afflicted with
piles and ask some old "chronic"
who has always persisted in the
wrong treatment and naturally
discourages them by telling them
that their case is hopeless.
They-in turn discourage others
and thus a disease that might in
every case be cured by careful and
skilful handlign is allowed TO say
the energy of thousands who
might free themselves Of the >trou-
BILE in few days.
