NEW ROCHELLE CHURCH

Raises All the Money Needed for an
 Organ.
 New Rochelle, Feb. 21.-A story was told to-day in New Rochelle of how Andfew Carnegie helped the members of the First Methodist church to get a new pipe organ. Some members of the congregation decided on a $1 ,000 instru- ment, and wrote to MT. Carnegie for a donation, He replied that if the con gregation would raise $500 he would see what could be done. This was encour- aging and the flock soon had the money pledged.
 Then they notified Mir. Carnegie, who in the meanwhile had investigated the needs of the congregation. The result was that yesterday the deacons receiv- ed a letter from MT. Carnegie, who said that he had found that the congrega- tion was too small for a $1,000 organ, but thought that one for $500 would answer the purpose very well. Inas- much as they had collected this amount, there was no need of any help from him.
 The deacons, although they have re- ceived a setback, have not entirely giv en up hope,

 ing Your Name and Address

 Who Writes.

Surgeons themselves consider a per manent cure of piles by surgical op- eration as very doubtful, and resort to 1t only when the patient has become desperate from long continued p1.l and agony. But the operation itself is every bit as excruciating and nerve-racking as the disease. Besides, 1t is humili- ating and expensive, and rarely a suc- cess.
 The wonderful Pyramid Pile Cure makes an operation unnecessary. You cure yourself with perfect ease, in your own home, and for little expense.
 Pyramid Pile Cure gives you instant relief. It immediately heals all sores and ulcers, reduces congestion and in- flammation, and takes away all pain, itching and irritation. Just a little of the treatment is usually sufficient to give a permanent cure. Pyarmid Pile Cure is prepared in the form of suppositories, so they can be applied directly to the parts without inconvenience, or interrupting your work in any way.
 We are sending trial treatment, free of charge, to every one who sends name and address. We do this to prove what we say about this wonderful rem edy is true.
 After you have tried the sample treatment, and you are satisfied, you can get a full, regular-sized treatment of Pyramid Pile Cure at your drug gist's for 50 cents. If he hasn't it send us the money and we will send you the treatment at once, by mail, in plain, sealed package.

1t was this factor that largely de-
creased the crop of meal-fed cattle in
Texas close-feed-lots last winter.
Gas a rule cattle marketed in the
quarantine section of the stock yards
are forced to sell at a discount under
natives. AS they ascend in the scale

it will realize this fact Development
of its industries will widen demand

There is one disadvantage under

Beef Raising in the South

We have repeatedly urged the
farmers of Florida to go more into
the cattle business, believing that, in
the end, it would be more profitable
than any other branch of agriculture
Possibly the following, from the
Breeders Gazette, may have more
weight with you. We may say to
the last sentence there should be ad-
ded the names of Florida cities, such
as Jacksonville, Tampa &c:
''Outside of Texas and Kentucky,
the quota of beef contributed to the
commercial supply of the country of
the south is meagre. Chicago receives
an occasional shipment of meal-fed
stuff from Mississippi and few car
loads annually from Kentucky, but
the bulk of wheat fed cattle is prduced
south of the Ohio and east of the Mis-
sissippi is bought by eastern buyers
and either exported or shipped direct
to points of slaughter on or near the
Atlantic Seaboard. Owing to limited
production and inferior quality beef
produced in that section goes into To-
cal consumption and is inadequate
even to supply that demand. Chicago
packers maintain depots for dressed
beef at all principal southern cities,
and the cotton belt gets considera-
