The Pyramid Pile Cure is not a salve
or ointment. but a suppository which IL
applied at night and absorbed into the
sensitive rectal membrane and acts both
as local and a constitutional treatment
and in cases of many years standing this
treatment has been efrectual
Thousands of pile sufferers bear witness
to the inestimable value of the Pyramid
and even those who have undergone sur
gieal operations without cure have been
happily surprised by results from a few
weeks treatment with the Pyramid.
The relief from pain is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that the
Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine be-
cause the relief is so instantaneous, but

The first day of the closing week of
The Tribune's Educational Contest
saw the usual number of changes in
the standing of the contestants. Those
occupying first, second and third
places still retain their positions, but
the fight for the third notch is very
close. David c. Spencer succeeded in
getting within nine points of it, pass
ing his first century, but Miss Jennie
Myers scored just enough to keep
ahead of him and is but eight points
behind Oliver Callahan. Arthur Kem-
merer was compelled to drop to sixth
place, but is still close behind. Miss
Fannie f. Williams is advanced from
tenth to eighth place, and is close to
the next notch.
The gap between seventh and sixth
places is not likely to remain open
long, unless those above make rapid
gains. as several of the contestants
in some of the lower positions are ex-
peCting to make material advances be-
fore the close, and the race from now
to the finish will no doubt prove very
interesting. In the five days that re-
main much can be accomplished to-
ward securing one of the valuable
special rewards.
