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

Many physicians who advertise to cure piles. without the aid of the knife, simply use Pyramid Pile Cure remedies. They do so beC ause they know 1t is the best medi- cine for obtaining proper combination of the most scientific ingredients for the cure of piles.
 Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an experi- mer tai stage, but is an established rem edy and is recognized and used by the best physicians in the country. Being in suppository form, 1t reaches the trouble at orce 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 de- lay or tho trouble may become chronic. Hundreds of little ones have been cured with Pyramid Pile Cure.
 The prevention of piles Is better than tho cure. and they can be prevented if only people would look to the regularity of the bowels and not become constipated Constipation and US 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 investiga- tion. Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold by druggists everywhere for fifty cents and twenty-five cents per pack age.
 A little book on the nature and cure of hemorrhoids or piles win be furnished free upon application to the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall Mich. wed-sun,

Cheap Substitutes for Expensive
 Garments.

Ihe becoming evening cape illustrated IS made of white lace and chiffon min gled with marabou feathers and bands of black velvet, An old ball gown is the very thing to make into a dainty cape of this kind. Phe silk foundation sin lines 1t beautifully while the chiffon, net or gauge of the dress forms the box plait- ed frou frou at the neck and heads the lace ruffle. A narrow band of fur may be used instead of the feathers, or black velvet ribbon would be very effective One can always find an odd piece of lace or embroidery to do duty for a nounce round the cape and to edge the long stole ends.
 The neck piece. nun and toque of brown bear fur Is exceedingly smart When fur Is found too expensive, velve- teen or the gray astrakhan cloth is good substitute. Buy a pattern and fashion the three articles from the ma terial determined upon, using the fur tails as a trimming.
 Pale blue albatross goes into the make up of the attractive pale blue reception trock. Bands of silk trim the skirt, while the waist is ornamented with d deep lace collar and grape embroidery. This gown may De duplicated in blue volle, which al this time of the year K often picked up at q bargain. LOOK round for a lace collar marked down cheap.
