BETTER OFF ON THE FARM.--ln the
Arena for May Mr. ID. Hen Wiley, Of
Baltimore. has Is thoughtful and con
scrvativc article On the negro question,
dealing with the necessity for negro
labor In the South, and the lack OF en-
c0uragcment that is held out to him in
the cities Of the North.
MIR. Wiley considers their best oppOr
tunitica arc on the plantations. Here,
he says, they arc contentcd and happy
and the extreme low cost OF living
makes the mcagrc wages they receive
far more than tbr wages pajd in the
cities. There is q great disposition
among the negroes to Hook to the cities.
Baltimore and Washington aro the two
cities having Is larger negro population
than any others. Their opportunities
in these Two cities are perhaps less
than in The cities farther South In
the South tho negroes can be and arc
skilled mechanics as well as common
laborcrs. In the cities north OF the
Potomac these fields OF industry are
closed to them largely. The only vo-
cation OF labor from which they 9rc
generally excluded in the South IL the
cotton mills, and perhaps this is no real
misfortune TO them. The vast amount
OF uncultiva!cd land and the vast areas
lmpcrfcctly cultivated are guarantee
that the future OF the negro Is the South
that is, that he win not starvc--ia rs
surcd rs long as nc is willing TO work.
Upon the whole, Southern labor, win
lts lower rate OF wages, seems happier
and better COntcEtcd than the Whltc
labor OF the North.

THE ONE SURE WAY.
To Cure Every Form of Piles.

To Cure Every Form of Piles.
The only sure way to cure every form
CT piles, is to use remedy like the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure. which is applied directly
to the parts affected, and it's wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the first
application because it's medicinal proper
lies are rapidly absorbed right where
needed by the delicate tissues and sensl-
tive membranes of the rectun. The cure
is natural and easy and almost before the
patient is aware of it. every trace of
piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so uniformly success
full
1t is in suppository form, applied at
night directly to the diseased parts, where
it IS most needed and not by the round
about way of the stomach nor the harsh.
barbarous method of surgical operation.
Direct applications to the seat of dis
ease is the only common sense cure, and
this is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure
If the voluntary testimony of thousands
is worth anything then no sufferer should
delay in giving this splendid remedy at
least a trial as it costs but so cents at
any drug store, and is guaranteed abso
lutely safe and free from opiates or CO.
caine so commonly found in so-called pile
cures.
Nearly every druggists has some favor
rite pile cure on which he can make
larger profit than he can on the Pyramid
and oftentimes to substitute. but when
it is rendered that the Pyramid Pile
Cure is the only remedy for piles that has
national reputation and is sold by ev
cry druggist in the United States and
Canada, it means something; it means
that no remedy could do this unless it
possessed positive unmistakable merit.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has cured thou
sands of sufferers from the different forms
of the disease, whether itching, bleeding
or portruding piles.
