REA:HEs SEAT OF TROUBLE.
Don't Try To Cure Hemorrhoids with
 External Applications.

When it is such a well known fact that hemorrhoids or piles Is a disease origtnat- ing in the morbid dilatation of the veins of the lower part of the rectum, 1t seems incredible that people afflicted with this painful trouble should go on doctoring with external salves and washes. when the diseased parts can only be reached by an inward application.
 The suppositories used in Pyramid Pile Cure are composed of the most soothing and healing oils and lotions known to Materia Medica, and act on the diseased veins and surrounding tissues like magic, giving almost instant relief. The dilated blood vessels are relieved, the irritation of the mucous membrane ceases ano bleeding Is stopped.
 The predisposing causes of piles are such as produce fullness of the hemor- rhoidal veins and impede the return of blood from them such as constipation, sedentary habits. city life, pregnancy, corsets, etc; in fact the causes are al. fully covered in a very interesting little book published by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, and the same will be sent free to any address upon applica- ton.
 The general principles of treatment are, according to the evident causes. active habits. attention to diet, and other hy- gienic rules, etc, avoidance of constipa- Iion and each night the injection of a Pyramid suppository to heal and cure the afflicted parts.
 That this treatment has been effectiv, Is instanced by the testimony of thous- ands of people who nave been permanent- ly cured and by the evidence of druggists; the case of MT. Samuel Gouldie. 626 Moy. amensing Ave. Philadelphia, is fair sample:
 For twelve long years I suffered terri ble torture from les. I had been under two surgical operations. once in Cleve- land. Ohio in the year 1885, and once in Toledo Ohio In 1900, and also tried a number of salves and ointments from different doctors. I at last found per- manent cure by only using two fifty cent boxes of Pyramit Pile Cure The hrst two or throe applications gave me relief at once. I am now entirely cured and thank God for nndlng Sqoh Q Hnsdtcins a inc Pyramid PTs cura @a2@un.

TO MEET IN FEBRUARY.
Montgomery Truck Growers Alive to
 Their Interests.


 The Montgomery Truckers Association, which was organized Saturday at the City Hall will hold it's next meeting on February [.
 The object of the Association Is to pro- mote the truck gardening interests of Montgomery County. and to secure uni form planting of crops. This will enable truck farmers to ship their products to Northern and Western markets in re- frigerating cars thereby securing freight rates that will allow better returns for products shipped.
 farmer said yesterday that hereto fore vegetables have been shipped by ex- press and the rates are so high that of- ten the shipments have been at a loss to the producer.
 The organization meeting. to which ref erence has been heretofore made by The Advertiser. was enthusiastic. About twenty-five growers of fruits and vege- tables were present and an interesting talk was made by M. c. Scott.
 The Association was organized by the election of J. l.. Witt as President and w. H. Gardner as Secretary.
 F. c. Shepard and MT. Lester. repre- sentatives of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company and Professor Dugger or the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn, were elected honorary members of the Association.
 The truck farmers agreed to plant sixty acres of English peas. At the next meet ing they will consider the advisability of planting 100 acres of canteloupes.

VALUABLE "REcoLLEcTIoNs.' 2
Col. McClure's Notable Studies oi
 National Progress.


 Readers of The Advertiser do not neeG to be told of Col. A. K. Mcclure, They know of him because of the great work which he has done in recent years in re- moving prejudiees between the sections and his hearty efforts to forward the advancement of this particular portion of the United States. His "Recollections of Half Century, were exceedingly inter eating while being published in weekly instalments. They have been published, with additions in one volume by The Sa- lem (Mass.) Press Company. and ought to be in every library.
 All students of modern American his- tory and affairs will heartily welcome this opportunity to possess the entire series in permanent book form, and especially In an edition so beautifully printed and de- vised as this. "Reminiscences are not often of unique value, but those of Colo mel Mcclure are genuinely entitled to that praise. In these five hundred compactly and yet luminously written pages are to be found ample food for study for the future historians of multitude of events and phases of national progress.
 The Philadelphia Record, in noting this publication, says:
 "To begin with, Colonel Mcclure speaks at first hand, with the authority of one often private, part in the momentous and interesting matters related And the scope of these matters would be surprts- ing were not the versatility and long ex- perience of this aged journalist so well known. At very young age he began, indeed to take prominence in national issues, discussions and events, and be- came the trusted councillor of many a distinguished statesman and man of ac- ton.

MR. KoHN's PROPOSITION.
He Desired to Decrease Interest on
 1907 Bonds.

1907 Bonds.
 The proposition of Alderman J. P. Kohn bsfore the City Council Monday evening in reference to Montgomery city bonds was incorrectly stated by The Advertiser yesterday morning.
 The following Is an exact copy of the resolution introduced by Mir. Kohn:
 Resolved. That the City Attorney be, and he is hereby instructed. to prepare for introduction in, the legislature. a bill for the funding of the city bonds due in 1907 at a rate not higher than 4 1-2 per cent. and that he be, and he is hereby instructed to publish notice of the inten- ton of the city to ask for the passage of such bill, as required by law"
 It will be seen that Mir. Kohn's resolu- ton applies only to those bonds of the city which may become due in 1907, the object being to prevent default on those bonds in case the proposition for funding the entire debt should not be accomplish ed before the 1907 bonds become due.
 It will be further seen that Mir. Kohn's resolution did not provide that the rate of interest should not be less than 4 1-2 per cent, but to the contrary that 1t should not be higher than 1-2 per cent. The average rate of interest now being paid by the city Is 5 per cent

A SOLDIER FOUGD
What He Had Looked For s5 Years


 Many interesting stories are still told by the heroes of the late War of the Re- bsllion. An old soldier of Morris, Ill.,, related his experience a short time ago.

Patent medicines were also highly recom- mended for dyspepsia and stomach troub- les. and I tried 6 number of them but got no relief, and in the end was actually worse. became mentally and physically wreck, had no energy to do business and simply got enough sustenance from my food to keep soul and body together and was in pain and misery constantly.
 While In this condition I met a friend who asked me if l had used Grape-Nuts I had not, but had used other prepared food and got no relief and so had no con- hdence in any of them. He continued to urge me to use Grape-Nuts, saying his wife had become so much improved iii health by using this particular food
 
 package and made my supper that night on Grape-Nuts, fully expecting to suffer all night as the result. To my surprise and great joy 1t agreed with me perfectly. I had a good appetite from that time on and Grape-Nuts was my only food for the first four mon hs; then I began to par take of other food sparingly. gained very rapidly. mentally and physically, with energy and force restored, and also gained in flesh, my weight incroas- ing s5 pounds in about six months. My stomach, from which I had suffered un- told misery for s5 years, became perfectly healthy so that could eat all kinds of food in connection with Grape-Nutn.
