UNITED STATES ATTITUDE
In the Expected Struggle Is of Interest

he without information regarding the
contents of the Russian reply to Japan
but the tone is distinctly pessimistic
ANA there are but slight hopes of Il
peaceful eXtrication from the position
ia which Russia and japan find them
selves. The diplomats are making in
quiries as to the attitude of the powers
in case of war, that to be adopted by
the United States being regarded as
particularly important.
To The Associated Press the Jana :

he had received nothing from Toxic

attitude of China in the event of war
II was said that at the outset it was
certain that neutrality would be pro-
claimed. but in the case of JapaneSe
victory il would not surprise the Legal
ton if the Chinese should throw in
their lot with Japan. This would Seri-

the importance of the Chinese as Il

The Chinese diplomats strongly dep
recate war for the reason that whether
Russia or Japan is the victor they fear
a final separation of territory.

Itching Piles and Other Rectal Troubles

A Remarkable Number Of Cures Made
by the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four Suf-

The most common and annoying is
itching piles. indicated by warmth.
slight moisture and intense uncontrol-
liable itching in The parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give only temporary relief. but
nothing like a permanent cure can be
expected from such superficial treat

The only perma nent cure for itching
piles vet discovered is the Pyramid
Pile Cure. not only for itching piles.
but for every other form of piles. blind,
bleeding or protruding. The first APP
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
a permanent removal of the tumors or
the small parasites which cause the in
tense itching and discomfort of itching
piles.

of this neighborhood were rivals for
the hand Of pretty girl. One OF them
was poor and handsome, and the other
was a slow witted fellow with consid-

ceived the idea of buying off his rival.
He offered him 500 to go away ana
stay away for six months. The poor
Young man said he would consider the
matter. And he did, in company with
the girl. They agreed to take the
money Of the young man, get married
and go away together. The deal was
completed and the poor young man
got his money and started for Denver.
But he was joined by the girl
at the first station, where he was
married by a justice Of the peace.
