IT ALWAYS HELPS

An ailment like consump-
ton that has been months
and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in a week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, but not over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any
stage of the disease. We
guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else.

TREATMENT OF PILES
Permenance of Cure the True Test.

RSInSnduCS VI SuIS tHc 4luC L SSl.
Many so-called pile remedies Will at
ford the user slight temporary relief
and the majority of those afflicted do not
expect more than this.
The average sufferer, after having tried
every preparation recommended for the
cure OF piles, comes TO the conclusion
that there Is no cure except by an oper-
alton. and rather than undergo this last
resort he suffers on, resigned to the
situation, so far as ma. be. The atten-
ton of those interested is invited to the
following experience:
After ten years OF suffering from
blind bleeding and protruding piles,
and after using every remedy / could
hear of without any benefit, / finally
bought 81 80 cent box of Pyramid Pile
Cure and used 1t with such good results
I bought next a dollar box, which finished
I'D the Job. That was nearly six years
ago, and as far as piles is concerned /
am cured, and have never felt symp-
tom of them since
MANY others have used this remedy

I always recommend ii to sufferers with
piles" c. II. Potts. Burlington. Kan.
Testimony like this should convince

The Capital City is TO get another

residents of South Dakota, Wyoming,
and other Western States, where the
mercury falls out of the thermometer
This morning at 8 o'clock the Their
mometer registered Is degrees BY to-
morrow gnerning 1t is likely that zero
will haveSbeen touched. The tempera-
ture will continue around the zero mark
for a day or two, the Weather Bureau
says, giving Washington about the
coolest spell OF the year.
Trouble on the River.
The drop of the mercury tonight will
doubtless play havoc with the Norfoik
steamers and the Glymont mail boats.
With the temperature above 20, 1t IS
fairly easy to keep the channel open,
but with the thermometer registering
zero the passage will be frozen hard
and stiff
This will mean another struggle TO
force an opening in the ice from Nor
folk to Washington, and delayed
schedule Of eight or ten hours, at least.
The ice in the river continues to men
ace the interests of property-owners
along the river front. AS the mercury
drops, the thicker the ice grows, and
every added inch increases the danger
of ice gorges, followed by floods. The
only thing which will prevent a flood is
the breaking of the ice, by the use OF
tug boats. Unless Congress makes the
appropriation of IS, 600 for this purpose,
this cannot be done.
Many Cases of Want.
The task of the Associated Charities
and the Citizens Relief Association con-
tinues to increase. AS long as the
weather remains so bad the amount OF
relief work will necessarily be on g
large scale. Requests for assistance

Lent appealed to the peopIe of the
State after all his legal efforts to re-
open the case had failed. The result
was hundreds of sympathetic commune
cations from other States.
Lawyer Lentz's Statement.
The lawyer said today:
ITO date I have received more than
1900 letters from men and women in
Pennsylvania, who protest against the
hanging of Mrs. Edwards. These letters
come from all classes and form an ap-
peal which speaks the voice OF the peo-
pie very clearly
Besides the petitions which have
been circulated by some of the good
women of Reading throughout the
county, 200 petitions have been circulated
and signed by hundreds in all parts OF
the State. The greatest amount of this
activity IN behalf of the unfortunate
woman who stands in the shadow Of the
gallows today, has been unsolicited.
Even from cities out Of the State Pc
titions have come to me, which indicate
further the profound universal feeling
of revolt. In this city the petitions are
being signed in every ward
What will come of all this is a ques-
tio3. It remains with the governor. All
the letters and names that come to me
are forwarded by me to Harrisburg.
