Republic or EMPIRE, Which?

"Republic or empire, which, This
is the issue over which the coming
presidential contest will be fought. So
say the Democrats. There is no hest
tation in one quarter at least as to
which form of government shall rule
America in the future. The military
commission in the Philippines is on the
side of the empire with all the hesitat-
ing sincerity which distinguishes the
truly great. In a circular recently
issued to school superintendent in this
country. the first official use of the word
"empire" in connection with the
United States is found-a fact which
historians might 6nd useful>to note.
This is the circular:
s.'U. S. Military Government in the
Philippines. Department of Public
Instruction.
"A Department of Public Instruc
lion for the Philippines has just beer
established and l write to ask if yor
can aid US in the civilization of thi:
new part of our empire by sending
such reports, bulletins, school laws
etc., now or to be issued as you may
have for Distribution
There is no exaggeration, therefore
in the statement of the upholders of the
Commonwealth. 1t is clearly case o.
republic or empire the gravest issue
ever put before the American people
before the people of any part of the
| world in ancient or modern days.

ONE PATENT MEDICINE WHICH HAS THE
FIELD TO ITSELF.

FIELD TO ITSELF.
prominent physician recently asked why
1T was there are many blood purifiers nerve
tonics'' and medicines for every i'll except one
OF the most common and annoying diseases, viz
piles.
ne replied. there are5 two principal reasons:
First, physicians sand people In general have
thought for years that the only permanent cure
Tor piles was surgical operation and that medic
inal preparations were simply pallatives and not
cure for the trouble m
Another reason is that piles. unlike many other
diseases, is in no sense an imaginary trouble. A
sufferer from piles - very much aware of the fact
and for this reason the few pile salves and oint-
ments, ETC., have ,zbeen short lived because the
patient very soon discovered their worthlessness
He continues: However, there is new pile
remedy which. judging from its popularity and ex-
tent OF its sale, Will soon take the place Of all
other treatment foF. pilesi 1t has certainly made
thousands Of cures In THIS obstinate disease 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, suppository form, composed
OF harmless asringents and healing oils gives i'm
mediate relief in all forms of piles and a radical
cure without resort to the knife and without pain
or interference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for the remedy is
that 1T contains no cocaine nor opium and Is alb
solutely safe to at any time.
One OF the suppostorfes Is applied at night, Is
absorbed and the cure is paturni and painless.
1t permanently cures itching. bleeding or pro-
truding piles and is the only remedy except dan
gerous surgical operation that will do SO.
All druggists sell complete treatment Of the
suppositories for so cents and the Pyramid Drug
Co. Of Marshall. Mich, will mail free to any ad-
dress little book on cause and cure Of piles
winch may be Of assistance in chronic cases. 1t
