Now Is the Time.

Now Is the Time.
A new game has cropped out. 1t is
called "Tickle the Editor" and is as
follows: Take a sheet of ordinary
writing paper, fold it nicely, enclose a
hank note sufficiently large to pay all
q prrears and one year in advance and
hand it to the editor: Keep an eye on
him and if a smile adorns the face,
the trick works fine. Now is the time
to play the joke. 1t beats finch
and pit hollow.--I >ogan ,Journal-Ga-

King Dodo, Tuneful Comedy Opera,
 Presented Last Night.
 Theatrical lovers will this week cer- tainly have the opportunity they have been looking for at the Hyperion thea ter. There is an attraction every night during the week, and such a variety that all can be satisfied and see just their style of play. Last night the big week was opened by the presentation of that tuneful and ever popular com- edy opera, King Dodo." This is the play which made Raymond Hitchcock the favorite that he is, but he has a worthy successor in Charles Meyers, whose work last night was extremely funny and much enjoyed. Among the members of the company is M. J. Me- Carthy, a New Haven boy, who is known theatrically as Joseph Freder- icks. He was last night accorded a most hearty welcome by his many friends, who attended the theater in large numbers.
 The company as a whole was quite good, the costuming fine and scenery pretty. making a most acceptable offer- ing on the whole.

Hears Request of Fire Commissioners
 for Increases of Pay.
 The special aIdermanic committee on the increase of pay of the fire marshal, second assistant chief and two linemen asked for by the board of. fire commits sioners held a public hearing in city hall last evening. The board asks that the fire marshal be given $5 a day, sec ond assistant chief $4.11 and linemen $2.74 in lieu of the pay they are LOW re- ceiving. The commissioners urged very strongly the justice of the request and explained the amount of work entailed in filling the duties of these positions, the conscientious and capable way in which these duties were performed and the unanimous opinion of the board that the increases should be granted The pay for such positions in other cities, even in many cities smaller than New Haven is higher than it is in this city.
 Attorney David E. Fitzgerald and City Attorney Webb spoke strongly in favor of granting the increases, espe- cially that of Fire Marshal Gladwin.

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE Know the Value off Pyramid Pile Cure

Gratitude alone prompts me to teS- tify to the efficacy of Pyramid Pile Cure. Last March I bought a dollar package at the drug store, which cured me of bleeding piles, and was a suf- ferer from them for eight years; but had not been troubled with them since, until last September when gave birth to baby girl, and after that had a very severe case of protruding piles, which a trained nurse said was the worst case she ever saw, and my doc tor told me to get Pyramid Pile Cure again, which I did and was completely cured in three days. I have not had piles of any kind since, and it is all owing to this wonderful remedy My nurse took a box, which was glad to be able to give her, for know she will be able to help lots of suffering people whom I could never see or know.
 1T recommend Pyramids wherever I know of any one suffering as I did. It gives me great pleasure to be able to say I am entirely cured, which my doctor says is true. I say God bless Pyramid Pile Cure. From a former great sufferer, Mrs. F. s. Ancott, 1206 Unity Street, Frankford, Philadelphia, Pa.
 This remedy, which is sold by drug gists generally, in fifty cent and dollar packages, is in a suppository form, is applied directly to the parts affected, and performs it's work quietly and painlessly Its value is evidenced by the testimony given above. and we urge all sufferers to buy a package now and give it a trial tonight. Accept no substitutes and remember that s there is no remedy just as good" A little book on the Cause and Cure of Piles is published by the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich, and will be sent free to any address.
