The Exact Term.

Only those who have experienced the
pain and suffering incident to Piles or
Hemorrhoids can know what a drag and
handicap this complaint is: how even the
mildest forms hinder the patient from
nuttIng forth his or her best efforts. while
those afflicted with bleeding and prO.rud-
ing piles realize all the tortures OF the
InGuisition.
1t may surprise the reader TO know that
there is a sure, permanent cure for this
disease. as the following testimony from

USED 1922 TONS.
Railroad Company Burned More Coal
Than Ever.

The report of the coal used in the Mis-
souri, Pacific yards for December has just
been completed and shows that ,322 tons
were consumed. In the same month OF
1902 there were only 776 tons used. This
month up to the present shows that there
will be about 10 per cent more coal con-
sumed than last month.
If one figures this amount Of coal at
S. per ton it will readily be seen that the
railroads certainly consume their share
of the country's coal output.

HANDLED $50 ENGINES.
Missouri Pacific Breaks Record for
Eiffeen nauS

During the first fifteen days of January
there were $50 engines handled in the Mis-
souri, Pacific yards in this city.
January is an unusually poor month for
the hostlers and in the past the number
of engines handled has been less than
half of what is being handled now.
When a hostler speaks of handling an
engine he means that it is brought into
the yards.
BY the last of the month the Missouri
Pacific will have handled probably 800
engines. This is an increase Of 20 per
cent over 1903.

HoWis0n Condemns
Football, Calling
1t Brutal Sport

OAKLAND, Oct. 26.-Football is con-
demned by Professor George H. Howl
son, head of the philosophy department
of the University of California, as a
brutal and repulsive sport, similar in
character to the barbarous pastimes OF
the Romans of old.
professor Howison's attack upon the
game which university men consider
worthy OF worship and which the uni
Versity authorities foster by spending
large sums OF money taken in at the
games as gate receipts has stirred the
university to the center The buzz of
conversation is heard on campus and
in hall in discussion of the professor s
extraordinary attack upon the college
sport.
Professor Howisons diatribe against
newspaper men, whom he characterized
as lost souls, gave him fame a year
ago of sort unlike the distinction he
had achieved as philosopher and dis
tinguished savant. His illumination
against football is apparently destined
to win for him another brand of fame
OF football Professor Howison says:
I'VE are by countenancing football
merely going back to the days of the
Roman gladiators. The game is a
brutal one and suggests all the repul-
siveness of the age when men urged
each other to fight in an arena merely
for the sport Of the thing. The modern
football game has all the marks and is
simply another form of the gladiatoriaI
contests of the Latins. Thousands of
persons crowd around the gridiron, as
the LatingS did about the pit, and cheer
and cheer if some player is carried off
the field severely or fatally injured
