It Travels to Its Patrons Instead of
Their Coming to It.
One of the most brilliant ideas q
modern times has just occurred to the
local authorities which administer the
public moneys of the town of Mezie-
res, in the Ardennes. The new scheme
consists of an automobile savings
bank" The term requires some eX
PLANTATION. The inventors apply it to
a new sort Of motor car which they
are having built. The vehicle is
propelled by electricity and contains
four seats, one in front and apart
from the others for the driver. The
| three places behind are arranged
around a revolving table in the middle
of the car one at each side and one
at the rear of the vehicle. Writing
desks are fitted over each of the three
seats and devised in such a way that
they can be either folded fiat against
the sides Of the carriage inwardly or
Ioutwardly. The central table also
contains desks, besides bookshelves
and small metallic strong box. Such
| is the new automobile. The use to
which the authorities of Mezieres in
tend to put their invention is as fol-
| lows:
! The car will travel around the Coun-
try, making stoppages of an hour or
so on prearranged days in the differ
ent localities of the department. The
passengers will be two clerks of the
| local treasury administration and
cashier They will carry with them a
complete collection of savings bank
books, registers and forms, and the
third of the above mentioned officials
| Your readers will have now OWNED
the purpose of the financial authori-
| ties of Mezieres. 1t seems that these
gentlemen assembled in council late.
| ly, came to the conclusion that some
thing should be done to encourage
thrift among the peasantry OF the
| Ardennes. On the other hand, it
was recognized that the saving propen-
sity was already very marked among
| the countryfolk What was needed
was that the administration should
meet their wants halfway, The peas
ants put by their earnings thrifty
enough, but frequently fail to invest
them in savings banks because, cs-
pecially in the busy summer months,
they have little time for journeying
to the few principal towns where the
offices are situated. SO the authori-
ties determined upon sending the say.
ings bank TO the countryfolk instead
of waiting any longer for the latter to
find time to come to the offices,
The description of the vehicle,
which the authorities have built ac-
cording to their own designs, requires
no further explanation except to say
| that the movable desks are intended
for use by the public, hence the ar
rangement by which they can be
opened outward over the road. It Is
reported that the scheme meets with
the unqualified approval of the savings
banks clerks, whose days hitherto

In the forthcoming season no rad

/ may say that the long established
dances will continue in vogue as here

has long been prophesied. is no nearer
it's abandonment than heretofore. It's
grace and beauty give it the lead over
all other forms of dance, and 1t will

lar or catchy dances the two-step will
hold favor but those who fancy that
the two-step is to supersede the waltz
are probably misled by the fact that
most of the two-step music Is neces-
sarily new, while there are great &c
serve stores Of waltz music in exist
ence and available. The result of this
is that there seems TO be much new
twO-step music on sale in the stores,
as compared with waltz music.
AS matter of fact, the two-step IS
a fugitive and evanescent thing along
side the waltz. Dancers will use all
the waltz music as IT appears in new

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
By Internal Remedies.

The only sure way to cure every form of piles is to use remedy like the Pyramid Pile Cure which is applied directly to the parts affected and its wonderful healing effects are apparent from the first applica- tion because the medicinal properties are rapidly absorbed by tissues and sensitive membranes of the rectum and the cure is made speedily and almost before the patient Is aware of it every trace of piles has left him.
 This is one of the reasons why the Py- ramid Pile Cure has been so uniformly successful. It Is applied directly just where it Is needed and where it will do the most good Not by the roundabout way of the stomach nor the harsh barbar- ous methods of various surgical opera tions and so-called systems.
 Direct application to the seat of the disease is the only rational way, and this is fully accomplished by the Pyramid Pile Cure.
 If the voluntary testimony of thousands who have tried this remedy is worth any thing then no sufferer has any excuse for longer delaying in giving it a fair trial moving that when you do so the Pyramid Pile Cure will have made one more friend the best possible advertisement we can have. The chief advantages of the rem edy are: It cures without pain, the cure is lasting. 1t contains no poison, and lastly it is the cheapest and quickest cure yet found Your druggist can tell you what it has done for others.
 Testimonials of cures from all parts of the United States will be sent on appIica- ton to the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich.
