Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or years
from the pain and Inconvenience of that CONNER
disorder, piles will look with skepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the discovery for
cure of all forms of piles, known under the name
Of Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraor
binary cures performed by this remedy are such as
10 warrant the investigation Of any sufferer. As

IN one of the fashionable hotels at the

fashionable society in another South

at learning of the marriage of rich
manufacturer of "high social stand

had stolen his heart while selling him
boutonnieres.
In both these cases the natural
question OF free-born American Is,
Why not? Is not the selling of flow

for woman as the making of nails is
for a man? And is not young wom-

to be both bright enough and good
enough for any contractor, however

Board of State Charities Report,

DOdIu VI Oldl6 OlldillioS UopOIL u
The twenty-third annual report OF
the board OF state charities was ap-
proved by Governor Bushnell on Mon
day.
The statistics for the year are given
by Secretary j. P. Byers as follows
"Ohio now maintains In all II insti-
t6tions. For une support Of these in
stItutions Ohio expended during the
year 1898 for new buildings, repairs
improvements, $685., ,93607; for the
salaries OF officers and expenses of
trustees, 1896, ,597.Ss; for current ex-
penses, including the amount received
from the state treasury and other
sources, $4,000, ,98609 From the above
it will be seen that the total expenses
for the year on account OF these insti-
tutions were S3,OS5, ,8SOO4. The total
amount received from sources outside
OF the state treasury, including the
value OF earnings at the penitentiary,
receipts from outside counties for
clothing furnished the inmates, and
other sources, was s477, ,0S3.45.
THE daily average number OF in
mates in he II institutions was 1857;
the average per capita cost, based on
the net current expenses, including Of
fecrs' salaries, was 314420. There
remaining at the institution at the be-
nj nApo - hn (p t,,o ~
o. 8. & 8. home at Sandusky. which
failed to report a total of 1852 in
mates. At the close OF the year, Nov.
16, 1898, the number remaining, ex-
cluding the o. 8. & 8. home, was a.
274; the number of deaths during the
year was $685."
In regard to the prison labor Ques-
ton the secretary says:
"If the next legislature instead of
attempting the enactment OF meas
ure insufflclently considered in its in
ception and the effect of the passage of
which few could foretell shall deem
it wise to appoint special commits
sion to investigate thoroughly this
whole matter with authority to pre-
pare legislation, then We shall have
some assurance that, 80 far as the eY-
perience Of other states goes, Ohio
will avoid her mistakes and profit by
their successes
He suggested the following two
methods Of providing better care for
the Insane and epileptic:
ST lrst-To provide at several of our
existing hospitals dayton, Columbus
and Athens) cottages, simple in ar
rangement, plain and economical In
construction; these cottages to be de-
signed with special reference 10 the
eustodial care OF the infirnary class of
.he insane. They would be roomy,
perfectly ven lated and we'll lighted,
with facilities for caring for the filthy
The cost OF construction OF such cot
tages need not exceed $3.50 per bed.
Afterwards cottages could be erected
at our hospitals as needed for the nat
ural increase in our insane population.
Second-Instead Of cottages, as
suggested, 1t might be found more de-
sirable to erect what would be known
as reception or observation cottages,
where all new or recent cases would
be placed. II this second plan were
adopted 1t would be necessary to fnd
accommodation for the inArmary In
sane in the wards of our hospitals
This in many cases would be obection-
able. Also the cottages required for
the care and treatment OF these acute
cases would be far more costly in CON
Btruction."
