The Strenuous Life.
A Great Strain.

No one disputes the fact that we
are living in a rapid age; it is rush,
rush, rush from morning until night,
and competition is so fierce that the
struggle does not cease until the ma
chine is worn out. Women, too, even
when surrounded by every comfort,
become infected by the common spirit,
and what with their clubs and many
social duties, have no time to give
thought to their physical well-being,
until they are suddenly brought to
sharp realization Of the fact that
nothing in their lives is so important
as attention to correct, or rational
living. 1t may surprise the readers
to learn that women are more prone
to piles than men, and in most cases,
because it is difficult to impress upon
them the Importance of regular move
ments of the bowels; irregularity
means straining at stool, and straining
means piles. with the certainty (un-
der the usual methods of treatment)
that the sufferer will "have them al
ways with herr" by usual methods"
is meant the application of salves and
lotions or las last resort surgical
operation. II there is q complaint
which entails more distress and suf-
fering upon those afflicted, than piles.
or hemorrhoids, it is not known to
the writer; fortunately, however,
these are learning that there is a
remedy that effectually cures all forms
Of piles; It Is known as the Pyramid
Pile Cure, is in suppository form, is
applied directly to the parts, and does
its work quickly and painlessly; 1t is
sold by druggists for fifty cents a
package, or will be mailed by the
makers to any address, upon receipt
of price Mrs. John III. Castona, 2o42
Arch St, Chicago, says: 81 must write

gravating case Of itching and bleed
ing piles by the use of the great rem

There were dawdling over the choco-
late and waters indulging in the charm
ing chatter which makes up feminine
small talk, when the Fairhaired Girl
with Dreamy Eyes turned to her
friend, the Maid in the Crimson Gown
with:
"Have you seen the lovely cut glass
olive dish Mabel gave me for my dow
er box?"
Dover box" calculated the Girl
From the West what is that?"
Don't you know what dover box
is?' and with suIdry "ohs!' and
"ahsr' the mission Of the dover box
was explained TO the ignorant one.
"well," and the Western Girl smiled
in superior though indulgent manner,
on her Akronian friends, you see we
don't do such things in the West. We're
too busy with other things and then
We are not at all certain we want, or
intend to get married, and then, again,
perhaps we won't get chance. That
is such chance as we would consider.
If we get that kind of an opportunity
we won't have any great necessity
for a dover box, and If we don't get
married we should have all our trouble
for nothing If | get a nice thing |
want to use it and enjoy it as l so
along, believe In getting IA. the
pleasure can out of life as go along
and l am not saving up for possible
contingencies"

SUCCESSFUL MEN.
Those Whose Names Have Be-
come World Famous.

The men who have won fame ana
fortune in the different walks of life
have been sound physically and men
tally. Puny, sickly men and women
seldom, if ever, attain national fame.
The body must be strong and
healthy or the brain will not be active.
Strong, healthy bodies and active
brains are not produced by medicine.
It's natural living and good food that
make sound bodies.
The whole wheat berry, properly
prepared, contains all the elements OF
nutrition demanded by the human sys-
tenn for sustenance.
A food expert who has devoted
much time in experiments, has discov-
cred a new combination of food ele-
ments that comes as near being per-
feet as a food as cain be produced. 4
This new production is called Malt
Nut. It is'a combination Of four GER
eals carefully and scientifically pre-
pared. the grains being taken through
the first and hardest stages of diges-
tion and then treated to the emulsi-
fed oil of nuts.
The grains contain the brain and
muscle building elements and the nut
oils, the fat and tissue. There is a
daily waste of tissue in the body and
this waste must be repaired, or the
great human machine will run down,
Malt-Nut is perfect food, inasmuch
as 1t furnishes all the elements Of nu-
triton demanded by nature. 1t has
a delicious nutty' flavor, and when
once served becomes a daily addition
TO the meal. A few teaspoonfuls with
milk or cream added, makes dainty
meal.

porters! What is he up to now? Isn't
one, sensation in week enough?' came
from petite blue-eyed maiden, who
first discoverd the intruder. In an in
stant all eyes were turned upon the
seeker after information.
"a chorus girls union, did you say?"
chimed the chorus OF Amazons, when
the representative of the press stated
his mission "Oh wouldn't that be
delightful, enchanting, celestial" ad-
ded another
''Then the girl who is hired for her
beautiful face and physique and the
girl with the padded clothes will re-
ceive the same salary. And the girls
who yell, and those who really
sing will all receive the same num-
ber of cases per week. But such a
union will never be perfected, will 1t,
will it?" asked the maiden with a
look in her eye. Before any
one could answer the call bell rang
and they were gone.
Three chorus girls made application
for the organization of union to Pres.
ident Gompers in Cincinnati Tuesday
but so far he has not given them an
answer. The chorus of the Wilbur
Opera Co. decided after some debate
and questioning that the proposition
to have chorus girls union was not
practicable and that, If organized, it
would not last month, because of
jealousies and great many other
reasons.

AKRON GIRLS DOVER BOX.
How the Western Girl Astounded Her Friends
With Her HereticaI Ideas.

and the others were silent from pure
amagement, at such heretical utter
ances. The silence had lasted a fun
minute and a half by the clock and
was growing awkward when the West
ern Girl, relieved the situation by,
the query: "Do all you girls here have
dover boxes, and what do you put
in them, anyway
why, Of course. nearly all girls here
have dover boxes" said the Girl in
Crimson and even the Languid Eyed
one showed some animauon as she
replied: 1--WE put all sorts Of things
in the box. Whenever some one gives
us pretty piece Of china, cut glass, or
silver ware it goes into the dover box,
and We make such things as sheets and
pillow cases and hemstitched and en-
broidered table linen on purpose for
1t. We spend all our extra change and
spare time this way and when gin
is married, she finds she has a great
many more pretty things than she
would otherwise have. Then, when a
girl is known to have box, her friends
always make their gifts to her appro-
pirate for the dover box. I've got a
lovely box Of cedar which my grand
father gave me and I've got some awful
pretty things In 1t. Wouldn't you like
to see it?'
And they went trooping off as Gag
erly as school girls, the Western
Girl as delighted with the idea of see
ing and handling so many pretty
things as any, but still unconvinced
and holding to her own idea of enjoy
ing the pleasant things of life as they
come and letting future events care
for themselves.

GOSSIP OF THE BOROUGH

There is always more or less confusion attendant
upon the assumption of a public office by a new
official who knows little or nothing about the
duties Of the place. The recent changes in the
Kings County offices have proved no exception To
the rule. Persons who have been accustomed to 20

Thursday, Friday and Saturday. on Friday one
OF these persons went into the County Clerks
office TO look through some papers. They We're
