THE OLD METHOD
OF Treating Piles and Rectal Dis
eases Now Discarded

eases Now Discarded.
Thousands OF sufferers bear witness to
the value of the Pyramid Pile Cure and
even in cases where a dangerous surgical
operation has failed to cure, surprising re-
suits have been obtained from the new
remedy after few weeks use
Relief from pain is so immediate that
patients sometimes imagine that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure must contain some form of
cocaine or opiate but a careful analysis
shows it to contain no opiate. cocaine. OF
any injurious drug whatever; in fact. il is
guaranteed absolutely free from any dele
FERROUS substance.
The old methods OF treating piles by lg-
allure. knife. or the still more cruel treat
ment by dilation, besides causing intense
pain and frequently collapse and death
are now known TO be practically useless
as far as a permanent cure is concerned.
Nearly every case of piles may be traced
to faulty action Of the liver. and it is a
mistake 10 treat the trouble entirely by
local applications OF salves and Ointments
or by any kind OF operation. The new
treatment by the Pyramid has clearly
demonstrated its superiority over all of
these.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is strictly scien-
tifc both in its composition and in its
therapeutic action. and the best feature of
| it is that ii is perfectly safe and harmless.
No i'll effects ever result from its use
The cure is accomplished gradually and
painlessly by the astringent properties con-
tanned in it, which cause the little tumors
and c0ngested blood vessels to contract
and the obstruction to the circulation to
be removed.
In view OF the immense number of pat
ent medicines on the market, it is a sin
gular fact that the Pyramid is the only
pile cure Of note. the only one that is sold
and recommended in every drug store in
the United States
The remedy is in suppOsitOry form and
far superior TO any salve or ointment for
convenieroe II is applied at night and
absorbed into the sensitive rectal men,

tutional treatment. The treatment is ef-
fec9IaI even in cases Of many years stand

Complete treatment Of the Pyramid Pile
Cure is sold By druggists everywhere at 81

of piles will be mailed free by addressing

SECRETARY ROOTS PROBLEM
The Question Rs to Whether tn,
..s Country Il Mt War.

Country Is Mt War.
The question whether soldiers can be per-
mitted to purchase their discharges at this
time is being considered ty Secretary Root.
It is proving a yexatious problem. The
law says a soldier may purchase his dis
charge in time of peace. but not in time
Of war. About fifty soldiers have made
application, and il they are permitted to do
it viii be an admission that the country
is not at war and the Treasury Department
may hold that the private soldiers who are
receiving $3.50 a month instead of SIG
must suffer a reduction and that non-cOm-
missioned officers must also lose the 20 per
cent increase being paid them now on the
theory that state Of war exists.
II. on the other hand the applications to
purchase their discharges are refused the
soldiers. the inference will be that a state
Of war does exist.

A Curious Monument.

A curious monument has been dis
covered in the dense underground of
the so-called Brandhai, in the Upper
Harz. 1t is a granite block about seven
feet high, resting on a stone pedestal,
and on an iron tablet attached to 1t
is the following inscription: Here,
in the year 1747, the first trials were
made with the cultivation Of the pota-
to-" The German peasant Of the time
did not take kindly to the potato plant
on its introduction to the country. 1t
had, however, great friend in the
king, Frederick H., who was convinced
of its value, but who was obliged to use
forcible measures to get the people of
Pomerania and Silesia to plant the
bulb. The action of the Harzer's in
voluntarily adopting the plant was
evidently thought worthy of memo
rial.

F1xine Postal service.

There are several small islands in
the Pacific ocean that belong to Eng
land. A vessel was wrecked during a
storm on one of these islands, and it
was necessary to get word to Auckland.
Carrier pigeons were used. They car
ried the messages and brought return
messages. This success led to the buy
ing of large flock Of carrier pigeons,
who were trained for the work on these
islands. Each bird can carry four
messages, each written on paper of
a certain quality and size. When four
messages are ready, a bird is sent off.
Each message costs either one shill-
Ing or sixpence. These pigeons are
private property.

PRIDE AND THE FALL.
Tho Whole Town Was Against That
Silk Hat.

Speaking of runaways l recall on-

town of Osceola," said man in the
Pittsburg News reporters hearing
up until the time that my friend
Mattern came home from college no
one in Osceola had ever acquired the
silk hat habit. OF course strangers
came to the town wearing stove
pipes bat courtesy and hospitality
protected them. But Mattern came
home determined to force silk hat
on the people of the town whether
they would or not. Not content with
wearing it on Sunday, he wore it on
week days and kept on Wa airing 1t un-

Of having the vigilance committee
wait on him with formal warning
that he would have to cease to wear
the hat, when he was seen coming
down the main street as usual with lbs
horse and buggy and the hat. One or
the town boys, taking his usual throw
at the hat, struck the horse in the eye
and maddened it. OFF it started and
Mattern could not hold It, He tried to
swing in at the hotel corner to avoid
dangerous hill farther down the street
and there was an upset. Both he and
the hat were thrown and he landed on
top Of it. The crowd in front OF the
hotel gave a yell of delight Mattern
was instantly forgiven. He was picked
up and carried into the hotel and two
doctors attended him. The hat,
shapeless wreck, was kicked about the
street by men and boys in del!rium
OF joy. Pride goeth before a fall,
was on the tip of everybody's tongue
and it was verify believed that the
fall that resulted in the destruction
Of that silk hat was deliberate and

The colonial ladies were great gar.
deners, and the hours they passed with
their fruits and flowers must have been
moments OF much pleasure in their
busy lives, says Longman's Magazine.
The most famous of these ladies was
the daughter of George Lucas,a planter
of Carolina, and at the same time
governor of Antigua, at which place he
appears to have resided, leaving Miss
Eliza at home. From Antigua he sent
her all sorts Of tropical seeds of fruits
and flowers, to try If any would take
kindly to the soil Of Carolina. Eliza
observed certain hopeful signs with re-
gard to the indigo and undismayed by
repeated accidents to the young plants,
at length obtained a good crop. Gov.
Lucas was so delighted at this un-
looked for success that he sent over an
Englishman to teach Eliza the whole
process of indigo working. The Eng
lishman, bearing gifts, seems to have
been a rather sly and tricky sort
Of person, but when did England ever

last as a sort of current coin, and it is
on record that when little boy was
sent to school at Philadelphia, he took
with him wagon Of indigo to pay his

Exceedingly Familiar.
The war in South Africa is produc-

nave ever come under the notice Of the
British soldiers. One of the latest re-
ports from the scene states that the
supplemented British soldiers have
mistaken troops of ostriches for bands

triches have made friends with the

stones behind me. I turned, thinking
to dodge or help a stumbling man and
found myself staring into the great
brown eyes OF an ostrich six feet tall
and with legs almost as thick as and
longer than my own. He came up
here some days ago, said a soldier,
and he always stays here now. We
feed him and fool with him, and he
seems very happy The ostrich stalked
past me and took a position between
the major and the captain, where after
appearing to observe that they were
very busy scanning the landscape, he,
too, stared at the plain and remained
erect and watchful, the highest type OF
a sentry in appearance. He marred
this fine effect for just a moment by
seizing and swallowing a box of safety
matches. After that he continued his
sentry duty with satisfaction in his
eyes," The ostrich is a great figure
in public life in South Africa. He Is
a source Of wealth and often friend
and companion. He is valuable sub

a horse to death and is, therefore, very
formidable to burglars. He eats with
relish things that would poison the
