material help to the work Of the office
II the construction appropriations were
SO made that they would be available

the fiscal year. There is no apparent
advantage in the present arrangement.
and many Disadvantages ! also suggest
that an effort be made to raise the limit
Of expenditure permissible by day labor
from $1,000 to 5000. This is especially
desirable for emergency and repair

Superintendent McComb protests
against the act regulating deposits on
contracts and says:
Il suggest that for sewer work the
amount Of the bond should not be more
than 80 per cent of the cost of the work.

J. H. JOHNS TESTIFIES
TO ESONERATE MILLER
Shows Bankbook and Accounts t
Prove Statements.

John ii. Johns testified in his own be-
half yesterday at the trial OF himself
and William a Miller at Cincinnati on
the charge of conspiring TO secure IA
vOrable action from the PostOffice De-
partment on the cases OF John J. Ryan s
get-rich-quick company. Johns testified
that he made a special study Of postal
laws and regulations because Miller sug-
gested that II was a good field for
practice
Johns said he solicited Ryan's practice
and received a fee OF $500 for legal
advice and an additional fee OF $, 600 for
rewriting Ryan's advertising matter so
that it would pass through the mails.
He denied emphatically that he used
his lifelong friendship with Miller 20
secure favorable action Bankbooks and
accounts were introduced to show that
Johns spent the money on a house he
was building and in paying debts. The
object OF this was to show that Miller
did not get any Of the money.
George a G. Christiancy, ex-assistant
attorney in the office Of the Assistant
Attorney General for the Postofiice De-
partment. testified that he signed the
decision favorable to Ryan while acting
head Of the office. He did not see all
the correspondence between Miller and
Ryan and said Miller did not show him
the report of the inspectors I'm which II
was recommended that a fraud order be
issued. The trial was resumed today.

VITAL FORCE
Is Crushed BY Chronic Troubles.

One of the most weakening. undermine
ing troubles which mankind Is heir TO is
hemOrrhoids or piles. The victim is
careless and neglected. of the disease at
first because the pain is slight and the
bleeding may only occur occasionally.
or he may be treasured by the occa-
sional disappearance of the symptoms.
And yet If at the very start he mad
found a rational remedy 10 soothe the
Inflammation. he would probably never
have had a return Of this irritating
malady.
Piles may develop at any season OF
the year. and at almost any age OF the
victim; the abuse Of cathartics often
causes this trouble, and a period arrives
when the dread Of pain at stool be-
comes so great that the sufferer begins
to neglect the calls Of nature. and the
bowels are either forced to retain the
feces or are only partially cleared. on
account of the suffering attendant upon
thorough movement
Before you reach this stage use a
remedy which removes the cause, there
by eradicating the disease. and that Is
the Pyramid Pile Cure which IS sold by
all druggists at 50 cents a package. IL is
In the form Of a suppositOry. is applied
directly to the parts affected and brings
about complete cure. quickly and pain
lessly. a valuable little book on the
cause and cure OF piles Is published by
the Pyramid Drug Co. Marshall. Mich.
and we advise every suTerer to send for
a copy Of It.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often asronished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage Is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from business
or interference with daily occupation.
Il feel u my duty to recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure. for after suffering
ten years with a most distressing form
OF Piles, / am entirely cured, thanks to
this remedy" Anyone doubling this can
