HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has
the Field to Itself.

"A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was there are SO many
medicines for every i'll except one of the
most common and annoying diseases,
viz. piles.
He replied, there are two principal
reasons: First. physicians and people in
general have thought for years that the
only permanent cure for piles was
surgical operation, and that medicinal
preparations were simply paIlitives and
not cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, unlike
many other diseases, is in no sense an
imaginary trouble. A sufferer from
piles is very much aware of the fact
and Ointments. etc, have been short
lived because the patient very soon dis
covered their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there is
new pile remedy which, judging from
Its popularity and extent OF its sale, will
soon take the place of all other treat
ment for piles 1t has certainly made
thousands of cures in this obstinate dis
ease and its merit, repeatedly tested.
has made it famous among physicians
and wherever introduced. The remedy
is sold by druggists everywhere under
name Of Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t is in convenient. suppositorv form
composed OF harmless astringents and
healing oils, gives immediate relief in
all forms of piles and a radical cure
without resort to the knife and without
pain or interference with daily occu-
patton.
One strong recommendation for the
remedy is that it contains no cocaine
nor opium and is absolutely safe to use
at any time.
One of the suppositories is applied at
night, is absorbed and the cure is nat
ural and painless.
It permanently cures itching. bleed
Ing or protruding piles and is the only
remedy except a dangerous surgical op-
Grafton that viii do so.
All druggists sell a complete treat
men OF the suppositories for so cents and
the Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall
Mich, viii mail free to any address a
little book on cause and cure of piles
which may be of assistance in chornic
cases.

Coffee Topers as Bad as Others.
"a friend of our family wte lived with
US a short time was a great coffee drink
er and a continual sufferer with dys-
pepsia. He admitted that coffee dis
agreed with him, but you know how the
coffee drinker will hold onto his coffee,
even if he knows it causes dyspepsia.
''One day he said to me that Postum
Food Coffee had been. recommended and
suggested that he would like very much
to try it. I secured a package and made
it strictly according to directions. He
was delighted with the new beverage,
as was every one of our family. He
became very fond of it and in a short
time his dyspepsia disappeared He con-
tinued using the Postum and in about
three months gained twelve pounds.
MY husband is a practising physician
and regards Postum as the healthiest of
all beverages. He never drinks coffee,
but is very fond of Postum. In fact, all
of our family are, and we never think of
drinking coffee any more" Mrs. Mary

dred men employed by Page Boiler
company, went out on strike today.

the company's works were closed five
weeks ago and when operations were
resumed this week, announcement was

the 10 per cent decrease their men would
receive the regular labor union scale and

Tuesday evening.
Whatever of prejudice that lurked
in our minds previous to hearing this
great man speak has been thorough
ly eradicated.
Mr.. Debs is not the ignorant
blantant socialist as the subsidized
press of the country would have us
believe. He is a cultured Christian
gentleman. He has heart big E.
nough to take in the entire people;
and that means the negro too,
He is student of social economy;
and knows what he is talking about.
He spoke two hours; his language
was chaste, fowery, logical, and con-
Vincing.

DIR. MASON AT 7:3O P. M.

DR.. Mason promptly again entered
the pulpit of the M. E. Church, tax
ing for his text: Sand Jesus said
'Let her alone; she hath done what
she could" The sermon was well
received by those present.
The most noteworthy expressions
in the Doctors sermon were:
elf you wish to be happy, make
Others happy. Help those who are
the poorest of the poor"
The Doctors descriptive powers
are well developed. He led his au-
dIence over hill and dale, mountain
and plain, at will. He proved con-
clusively that the lives of such men
as Alexander the Great, Napoleon
Bonaparte and Hannibal had been
complete failures. And a most sue.
cessful life was typifed by a poor,
old almost neglected colored woman
who died in New Orleans with this
song on her lips: 81 am almost home

under his auspices about forty seven
institutions of learning in this coun-
try; these institutions being for both
races-some schools being mixed
Others being entirely for white stu.
dents, and still others for colored
students. He further said that DIR
Mason was Secretary of the Freed
mans Aid and Southern Educational
society, a position paying DR.. Ma
son twice as much as the Governor
OF Alabama gets; and that he (Dr.
Mason) was worth every cent of it.
And to this position he was elected
as much by the whites as by the
blacks.
DR.. Mason's speech was short but
pointed. He spoke only ten min
utes' taking for his subject: "The
Education That Educates." The
whole trend of his argument was to
the end that the education that we
need is that education that gives
complete self-mastery. And this
education is the higher education.
he spoke of the greatest university
that the world has ever kaoyn. That
university was founded in the wild. |
erness, with God the teacher and the
things taught. "Buildings do not
make school" said he, sit is the
teacher and efficient work that is
1one!--these make a school," And
1t this point he quoted James A.
fairfield, who said ''Give me a few
select books and Mark Harpkins out
n the forest on an old log and that
$ university enough for me-"
