MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex-
oept Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure ANY
Form of Piles.

The study of physicians, the expert
ments OF chemists, the loudly adver-
tised pretensions OF quacks, have been
for years expended in one direction;
TO md pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one that i'm
mediately stops the pain so severe in
most cases of piles, and then by con-
tracing the small blood vessels (capil-
laries) to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
inftamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository was placed upon the
market, which has since proven itself
TO be the long sought permanent cure
Tor this common and distressing trouble
II has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
Is now sold by nearly all druggists un-
der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because its
merit and safety have advertised il
wherever used. 1t has been advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer ia
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
and dangerous surgical operation with
put avail finally have found that piles
may be cured without pain and without
expense, practically, as the Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold for the nominal price
Of 90 cents and $1.OO per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
md at the same time contain no cocaine
morphine or narcotics: the acids and
healing properties contained in the re-
nedy speedily remove, cause a health
tul' natural contraction and absorption
of tumors; it will cure any form OF
rectal trouble except cancer and ad-
yanced fistula, which by the way
nearly always result from neglecting
proper and timely Treatment for piles.
As above ststed, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at so cents for
ordinary size or s1.0O for large package.

starts from n state of rest at the end
of each stroke of the piston and must
acquire velocity of 81 feet per second

Great Britain Declines to Agree to War

shiIs the Lakes
Washington, July 29.-Great Britain
has declined to permit the United
States cruiser Frolic 10 enter the great
lakes for use as training vessel. The
number of warships to be maintained
by the United States and Canada on
the great lakes was limited by the
Rush-B -Bagot agreement in 1917 to two
vessels on the upper lakes not ex-
ceeding 100 tons burden and armed
with one eighteen-pounder cannon.
The agreement further provides that:
"All other armed vessels on the lakes
should be forthwith dismantled and
that no other vessels of war should be
there built or armed.
At the present time this government
has two vessels on the upper lakes,
the Michigan and the Yantic, both of
which conform to the provisions of the
agreement. There is no such thing as
an eighteen-pounder cannon in use
now, but an equivalent armament is
provided. Canada is determined to
hold this government strictly to the
letter of the agreement.

Was Laid Ia Her.

Waukegan, Ills, July 20. = George
Krueger, the Longroye farmer at whose
home, on July 16, there occurred a
double tragedy, has been arrested as a
result of post-mortem examination
on his wife's body, and is held in the
county Jail to answer to the charge of
murder. Kruger was the only survivor
of the affray, which the coroner's jury
decided was caused by his wife.
. Mrs. Kruger. on her husbands testi-
mony, was charged with numbering
her mother, Mrs. Voss, with trying to
kill him, and then shooting herself.
Recent developments led to demand
for a post-mortem, and it was found
that Mrs. Kruger had two bullet holes
in her head, the one entering behind
her left ear and penetrating her brain
being sufficient to cause her death. 1t
was impossible for her to have fired
this shot herself.

In the house of lords the Earl of
Camperdown called attention to the
Transvaal situation. and the Earl of
Selbourne, under secretary for the col
onies. made statement similar in pur-
pose to that made in the house of COM
mons by Chamberlain. Lord Sails
bury reminded the house that he abso-

which was tainted with the grave fault
of optimism Nevertheless, President
Kruger assented in the protocol of the
1881 convention to the friendly coop
Grafton of the races, while he has since
taken an absolutely opposite line, his
one effort being to separate the Eng

and to reduce the English to the status
of subjugated race.
