VITAL FoRcE
Il Crushed By Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening under
mining troubles which mankind is
heir to is hemorrhoids or piles. The
victim is careless and neglectful of
the disease at first because the pain
is slight and the bleeding may only
occur occasionally. or he may be re-
assured by the occasional disappear
ance of the symptoms. And yet If
at the very start he had found a
rational remedy to soothe the infiam-
nation. he would probably never have
had return of this irritating malady.
Piles may develop at any season
of the year, and at almost any age

tics often causes this trouble. and
a period arrives when the dread of
pain at stool becomes so great that
the sufferer begins to neglect the
calls of nature. and the bowels are
either forced to retain the feces or

that is the Pyramid Pile Cure, which
is sold by all druggists at SO cents
a package; 1t is in the form of a
suppository, is applied directly to
the parts affected and brings about
a complete cure, quickly and pain
lessly. A valuable little book on the
cause and cure Of plies IS published
by the Pyramid Drug company, Mar

sufferer to send for copy Of it.
People who have suffered from
piles for years are often astonished
at the instant relief experienced
from the first application. Another
important advantage is the fact that
anyone can use the remedy without
detention from business or interfer-
ence with daily occupation.

LIVELY ROW IN
THE CITY HALL

Trouble has broken out at the city
hall between City Commissioner Root
and d. f. Wiley, foreman of the city
water department, because Mr.. Wiley
Is alleged to be discriminating against
members of organized labor who have
sought employment from him.
Root and Wiley had an angry discus.
sion over the matter a week ago, and
last night at the meeting of the city
council Wiley bobbed 'up in the affair
in new way by making an affidavit
charge that Commissioner Root is un'
fair to men who are outside the ranks
of organized labor. The charges against
Mr.. Root were sent by W. II. Sleepy
G. C. Ettershank, Luther Holcomb and
r. A. Buchanan, who are said to be
members of a local branch of the Amer
lean League of Independent Working
men.
The affidavit asserts that in the con
Versation between Root and Wiley on
October 3. Root asked Wiley why ne
did not unionize the water department
and the latter said he would not union
ize the department, whereupon Root said
there were ways of getting rid of q
man who refused to join the union.
In speaking of the charges made by
Wiley, Commissioner Root said today:

lied labor bodies of this city. l have
always been an organized labor man
and wish that l could organize every

Prominent democrats in the city hall
are urging today that Commissioner
Root fire Mr.. Wiley for his efforts TO
deal in city employment, and for the
further reason that Wiley has been i'm
pudent and insubordinate to his supe-
rior officer. Wiley, it is charged, has
been holding a political job for nine
years and has now reached the stage OF
arrogance where his services are of
little value. Mr.. Root refused to con-
slider the suggestion to kick Wiley
out, although he said others had 1p-
preached him several times of late urg-
ing that Wiley be dispensed with
the contention being that Wiley has
outgrown his job.
Charges were also made before the
council last night against Street Fore
man Joe Daniel. the allegation being
that he was discriminating against non
union workmen, and the charges being
preferred by Thomas James, team
ster, who says he had held a city job
for six years prior to the time he was
discharged last March. He alleges that
Foreman Daniel required him to keep
up his dues in labor union, and thSt
he could not do SO because of the i'll
ness of his wife. The dues in this
union, the Federal union, are 25 cents
per month. Foreman Daniel, in speak:
ing of James charge, laid today:
''He is not telling the truth. 1 would
be fool to have ordered him over a
public telephone to join the labor union
before he could go 10 work for the
city. If I were doing that kind of bus
mess I should have called him aside
and talked to him privately. He was
dismissed from the city street depart
ment because another man was found
who could and would do better work
for the city than he"
