!, prise American Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops at a certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here, in America,
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t has an Amer
Han plan dining-room, but only O
French bill of fare. 1t has an Indian
room, where an Indian chief in the cos
tune of his country prepares native
dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
the number of his room instead of
his name, and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as Mr.. 96O,"
as though he were a convict in the pen
itentiary.
On each floor, day and night, are to
be found a maid, a valet and waiter.
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come,
home at night, if you are man, you
ind your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed away in a chest
Of drawers. If you are woman, the
maid attends to frills and furbe!ows
as though she were hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys-the maid or valet on the
door takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.

THE NAME ~DREYFuS. ~
Ancestors Of the Captains DisGraced
in the French Army Were Once
Known ~ Treves.

The name of Dreyfus has been in
everybody's mouth for several years
past, and in the light of recent events
it might be of interest to learn some
thing authentic about the origin OF
the family of the unfortunate eX-cap-
tain. 1t was generally supposed that
his family came originally from the
French town of Troyes-the birth
place of the famous Rabbi Rashi-and
has thence deducted the family name.
This is not correct. According to the
careful researches in the records re-
Gently published in Brull's Jewish An
nails 1T is almost certain that the name
of Dreyfus is deducted from the city
of Treves German, Trier), which was
called Augusta Trevirorum by the
Romans, this name being shortened
into Treviris later on.
The first of the Dreyfus family COM
ing from Treves was Rabbi Joseph
Treves, son of Rabbi Jochanaus, the
German (Ashkenasi) who lived at Mar
settles about the middle of the four
teenth century. Treves was then Ger
man, and it appears that Rabbi Joseph
emigrated from Treves to France. One
son of Ra bbi Joseph, Rabbi Matatia
Treves, was chief rabbi of France; he
founded a. Jewish seminary in Paris
and was counted among the great men
Of his time. His descenda nts in turn
emigratedf to Germany Italy and Rus
eia, and, all being abbis. many of them
were distinguished for their learning.
The italian branch still retains the
name of Treves. while their German
and Russian relatives have adopted
the name of Dreyfus.-Kansas City

The following letter from Mr.. H. b.
Stark, 1922 Pine St, Scranton. Pa, ex-
plains itself and will be of interest to
thousands who have suffered the fortunes
of that common trouble, hemor1hoids
or giles.
Mr. Stark says: II feel it my duty
to write an unsolicited testimonial re-
garding the Pyramid Pile Cure. Since a
boy / have suffered untold agony from
piles. / have tried all available rem >
dies, consulted many physicians, but with
ont help or even relief. | have been
employed as drug clerk for the past
fifteen years. consequently have been il
a position where ] could try all of the
new and old remedies for piles, but as
before stated, to no avail.
About six weeks ago l was again suf-
fering from my old trouble and as an
experiment tried the Pyramid Pile Cure,
and let me say that it gave instant relief
and l am now wholly cured. | am sure
also that the cure is permanent.
| shall always recommend the Pyramid
to anyone suffering from any form Of
piles and shall do what | can to advance
the sale of so excellent a remedy" Sign
ed FL. B. Stark
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
popular and widely known of any remedy
ever offered for piles.
1t is the most popular because it is
the most successful. 1t cures every
form of piles without pain or detention
from daily occupation and contains no
opiate or cocaine or any poisonous or m
furious substance.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents for full sized packages.
