WINE FLAVORING
 IN SOFT DRINKS
ONLY TWO SODA WATER FIRMS TAKE OUT U. s. LICENCE-RE- CENT RULING OF INTERNAL REVENUE COMMISSIONER.


 Only two dealers in soda fountain drinks in Birmingham have taken out the H. cense to use wine or other liquors of q sprituous nature in the preparation of beverages-Yenable for two places and Mims B. Stone
 Under a recent ruling of the commits sioner of internal revenue dealers in soda water are required to pay a government license of s25 year If they use wine as fiavoring Last night was the time limit to take out the license without the pay ment of an additional 50 per cent as a penalty for not securing it before Febru- ary 1.
 Several popular cooling drinks are flav- ored with wine. Very little wine is used in one drink, but in the course of year the consumption, of course, amounts to many gallons. In the summer season a stand where a large business Is done will probably use half a gallon in a day.
 It Is the purpose of the dealers not to use a quantity sufficient to stimulate or to sell wine or stronger liquor separately. but purely and simply to lend a flavor to blend soft drinks.

Then your president was civil service com missioner l do not pose as a prophet, but when l first met MT. Roosevelt was deeply impressed with his untiring energy and essential sincerity of pur- pose.

WRONGED HUSBAND
 !, WOULD ADVOCATE
GROWN PRINCE WANTS TO RE- NoUNcE HIS SUCCESSION TO A THRONE BECAUSE HIS WIFE HAS PROVED HERSELF FALSE.


 Berlin, January S1.-A curious story widely told in the provincial and Berlin papers this morning is that the Crown Prince of SaXony is determined to re- nounce his succession to the throne in favor of his son. George who is 10 years of age,
 The reason given is that the military code of honor does not permit husband wronged as he has been to remain in the service and the Grown Prince. as com mander of fthe first army corps of Saxony and as the future commander of the en- tire Saxon contingent, must pass upon the findings of court of honor which in circumstances similar to those of the Crown Prince require challenge or the laying aside of the uniform.
 The crown prince. it Is added, is scarce ly expected to challenge Professor Giron, but opinion in the army is so rigid on points of honor that the prince is regard ed as ineligible for reviewing the decisions of the courts of honor and protecting the honor of the uniform.
 The Rheinische Courier of Wiesbaden says, without reservation, that the prince has renounced his right of succession and the Berlin Morgen Posts Dresden corre- spondent says he has already appealed to the Emperor to relieve him of all military positions.

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
 OVERCOME.
If You Only Find Out the Right Course
 to Pursue,

to Pursue.
 Many physicians who advertise to cure piles without the aid of the knife, simply use Pyramid He Cure remedies. They do so because they know it Is the best medicine for obtaining proper combina- tion of the most scientific ingredients for the cure of piles.
 Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an experi- mental stage but is an established rem edy and is recognized and used by the best physicians in the country. Being in suppository form, it reaches the trouble at once and the healing process is quick and effective: immediate results are ob- tained and before the patient realizes the fact he has recovered from the pain. suf- fering and irritation which this trouble causes.
 Children who suffer from this painful trouble. obtain relief at once. It is well with very young child to reduce the size of the suppository before using However if children are afflicted with piles they should be treated without delay or the trouble may become chronic Hundreds of little ones have been cured with Pyradm Pile Cure.
 The prevention of piles is better than the cure and they can be prevented if only people would look to the regularity of the bowels and not become constipat- ed Constipation and its attendant ills can be avoided by the use of Pyramid Pills. The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure saw that 1t was necessary, to use with the majority of their patients a mild non-irritating laxative, and the Pyramid Pills for constipation were the result of much careful thought and patient investigation. Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold by druggists everywhere for fifty and twenty-five cents per package.
 A little book on the nature and cure of hemorrhoids or piles will be furnished free upon application to the Pyramid Drug Co.,. Marshal, Mich.
