OPERATIONS A FAD
Public Gradually Awakens to the Fact

Public Gradually Awalkens to the Fact.
 The latest fad in operations has been the appendicitis fad; before that the fad for rectal operations (piles. etc) held sway. Hundreds of patients were frightened and hurried into hospita.- operated upon and robbed of theIr last dollar. when the trouble was q simple case of hemorrhoids or piles only. easily cured at home with q simple remedy costing but fifty cents box.
 "I procured one fifty cent box of Py ramid Pile Cure of my druggist, with the intention of buying a larger box later. but was happily surprised when I found that I was cured. and still have six pyramids. left out of the first and only box. I have not had the least sign of piles since used this one box. which has been about two months, previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure l had the worst kind of bleeding and protroduiEg piles for over thirty-one years. and no one knows, except those who have had the piles, the pain and misery I suffered.
 T am d poor man, but have often said I would give a fortune, if had it, to be cured of the piles. and now l hav,. been cured for fifty cents. I should be very ungrateful if I did not thank you and give you every privilege to use my name and this letter when I know there are so many who suffer as did. '' J. A. Weismiller.

government by which every German workman receives financial assistance in case of accident, sickness and in- validity or old age. More than $3e0.- 900 is daily spent in this way upon the protection of our workirgmen, and in single year something like five million persons receive help ot one kind or another from this source. In the seventeen years from 1885 to 1901 fifty million people were so ben efited. They received all told about one billion dollars.
 "The money for this insurance fund, continued Dr. Lewald, "is raised by a tax of about 1 per cent on the wages of the employees, thirds of which Is borne by the employees and one- third by the employer. In addition to this there are workingmens clubs which give benefits to their members in sickness. and we have associations providing for indemnities in case of &C., cident or dath.
 ''The insurance against invalidity includes old age. Every German work man over seventy gets a pension, and if one of the insured becomes an in- stoned. There are now more than thir- teen million persons insured as to in- validity.
 Tn addition to this the insurance fund has accumulated a reserve capt. tai of about $375,008. .000. which is be- ing used for the general benefit of the workingmen. Through it we are con structing workingmen's dwellings, hos

 Do Expeditions PayR
 me conversation here turned to the st' Louis exposition, and asked Dr. LeWald whether he thought that it pald his government and it's exhibitors 10 show their wares at such places. He said: -io
 we cannot tell whether this expo- sition will pay Germany for the trouble she Is spending upon 1t. That IS a matter for the future trade to de termine There Is a prejudice against American expositions among our man. uiacturers' owing to your high duties. ihey say What Is the use of our try ing to compete when we are taxed I5 per cent by the customs house?' This tax makes 1t out of the question for Germany to send many of its products to the United States, and the result Is that our exhibit here does not ade- quately represent the industries of inc country. It is fine In comparison with that of other nations, but 1t is limited to a few branches of trade. We have for instance. good drug and chemical display and fair exhibit of art works
 
 government exhibit is large. I do not know that the cost of the industrial exhibit will be repaid by a proportion ate increase of orders of such goods as are shown. Sometimes 1t pays: some times not. We had a great difficulty to get our manufacturers to exhibit at Paris. but those who did so got a large business. Take the inventors and makers of Kaiserzinn. for instance k IA .f. and at the close they opened an estab- lishment in Paris near the Opera, and they are doing business there still. One of our piano factories made great deal of money from the French through his display at Paris. and this was the case with many others.
 Indeed. the trade between Germany and France was perceptibly increased by the exposition. Before that time it was almost stationary at $5O.OOo, 900. During the year of the fair it was $7O.- 000.000O, and after the fair was over and the trade dropped to about $62,- 100000. where 1t now rests. This shows an annual increase of about Sl2,- OOe.OO0 in our French sales since the exposition.
 The Kaiser Our FrienG.
 The prohts of these eApositions Af, not only commercial" continued Dr. Lewald, they are political and social as well. That flair at Paris did much to wipe out the hard feeling the French held as to the Germans. We made many friends there, and as a result the anti-German sentiment is dying out. Our exhibit here at St. Louis is largely matter of international friendship. The Emperor and his people look upon the United States as their friend. and we want to take part in any interna-

 'Ts Germany's foreign trade increas- ing, Dr. Lewald?' I asked.

 That is an anomaly which our peo- pie cannot understand. They say there Is no reason why shoes made here should be sold in such quantities in Germany. We have the same leather that you have. We import our ma chinery and our workmen are better than yours. Nevertheless, your shoes continue to compete with ours in our home markets.

War in the East Increases Price Of Horses.

Peace has been promoted more by the cost of
war--not only to the budgets of the nations di-
rectly involved, but to commerce at large-than
by any humanitarian considerations, writes the
Washington correspondent of The Progressive
Farmer. The far-reaching influence of the resort
to arms is shown in the effect of the Russo-Japan-
csc war upon branches of trade in the United
States, whose connection with the Far-Eastern
struggle would not occur to the casual observer.
The Russian Government has prohibited the ex-
p~ortation of horses from that country, and this
will open a market for American breeders in
European countries that were formerly dependent
upon that source of supply. Germany has always
bought largely in this line from Russia, the i'm
portations last year numbering $4,000 head, out of
a total of 125, 900 head brought into the country.
The value of the shipments of horses from Russia
to Germany in 1908 was $4,20O,O0O. The large
majority of these were light working horses, worth
from $75 to $95 per head. American horses were
formerly sent to Germany in considerable num-
bers, but with the home demand during the war
with Spain, and with the British purchases for
use in South Africa later on, the market>in Ger
many was lost. The increased prices that horse
flesh will command in Europe this season may
offer an opportunity for the sale of light draft
animals from our country.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-06-21

we should quit planting so much cotton and raise
more cattle, hogs, mules and horses.
There were over two hundred horses shipped In
this county (Chatham) the past winter and spring,
the most of them light stock. While there is a
great demand for heavy horses, there is none for
sale. Why don't the farmers of this State wake
up and breed their mares to a good draft stallion
and raise something that the markets want In
stead of light ~trotters, as most men are doing2
There is not a draft stallion in the county that
l know of, and yet the increasing use of improved
machinery requires heavy stock through better
breeds? I am sure your readers would appreciate
