the huebnerite will disclose a red wine

color Is that of dark port wine. The
forms of crystallization are various and
best described by technical terms. A
very common form Is that of bladed
crystals, varying In thickness from inl

Total Observation-Disclosures, $iuS 52l tS
During the discussion the subject of
outstanding city orders, which now
amount to SIS 5000, in round numbers,
was talked over at great length, and
during this phase Of the meeting Mr..
Watkins called attention to the desir-
ability of calling these orders in and
paying them off, and suggested some
curtailments of expenditures which
would admit of this. This led to the
adoption of a resolution offered by Mr..
Maxwell, that the Receiver, at the next
meeting, present a statement of all
outstanding orders and the funds to
which they are chargeable. 1t also APP
pears that some years ago there was a
mix in these orders, by which they are
not all now charged to the proper ac-
counts. If the estimates realize any
thing like $4,000 and the expendi-
lures can be kept down to something
like the figures given in Mr.. Watkins
preliminary statement, there would be
a balance of about $4,000 which could
be applied to paying off outstanding
orders, and this could be increased
$1,000 or $4,000 by cutting off some of
the money regularly going to the Board
of Public Works and using 1t as a spe-
cial general appropriation to the Board
to take up orders. The net result
would be a very considerable saving in
interest and the getting rid of what
is undeniably an unlawful floating city
debt. 1t was also proposed by the
committee, last night, that the Re-
ceiver might make an agreement with
some one of the banks to float existing
orders or new ones necessary in the
course of business, at the rate of five
per cent, instead Of at the usual six.
During the evening increased taxa

pay interest on bonds. was discussed

but nothing definite was proposed in
this direction.
There is a little more money avail
able this year than last, but the de-
mand for cash is also greater, through

ment for eight additional police, for a

THINK THIS OVER.
A Rational lse7nsdy Tor : National
se,y~, y,1n


To say that hemorrhoids or the
disease commonly known as piles
is a national disease may be
slightly overdrawn, but it is quite
certain that at least one in every
four persons is so afflicted.
Because it is common and not
Immediately fatal many suffer for
years without giving the trouble
any medical attention.
Moreover, the rather general i'm
preston that a surgical operation
is the only cure, has much to do
with delaying attention until the
disease becomes deep seated and
chronic.
Sufferers from piles should know
that the Pyramid Pile Cure is bet
ter than a surgical operation, II
cures without pain, it causes no
detention from business and the
cost is trifling, all druggists SELL
ing it at so cents per package.
The astringent effects Of the
acids in the Pyramid Pile Cure
speedily contracts and restore to
their natural condition the blood
vessels OF the anected parts, ana
as it quickly dissolves in the rec
tum, the remedy soothes and heals
the irritated surfaces, and these
two things are the only necessary
requirements for a cure.
The principal danger from piles
is the liabilities to chronic ulcer
alton of the rectal tissue, and ner-
vous exhaustion from loss of sleep
and attendant pain and irritation.
All these symptoms the Pyramid
quickly relieves and the fact that
it is the most popular and widely
sold of any pile cure is quite con-
elusive evidence of thorough merit.
If you suffer from bleeding, itch
ing or protruding piles try a fifty
cent package tonight. Ask your
druggist for Pyramid Pile Cure.
