Violin Played By Machinery.

An automatic virtuoso is the me-
chanlcal violin player, the marvellous
result of many years Experimentation
There is the orthodox violin with the
familiar strings. But instead of the
bow and fingers there is a series of
revolving disks for the former and an
elaborate array of stops. which, act
ing as fingers, depress the strings at
the desired points to give the
requisite musical tone, operated by
electricity. the necessary energy being
furnished by a small motor. All the
peculiar effects incidental to the in
strument are perfectly produced. in
Guiding those which tax the skilled
player to the utmost. and in perfect
purity and tone. Thirds, fourths,
octaves and tenths are produced as
easily as single notes, and every phase
Of expression is said to be faithfully
rendered. The most intricate works
of leading opponents of violin playing
and composers are given with case
and unerring accuracy. while many ac-
complishments beyond the possibilities
of the virtuoso are secured, such as the
playing Of four chords simultaneously,
giving the resemblance of a quartet

GET WITHIN.
Piles Can't Be Cured From the Out
side.

External treatment won't cure piles.
Nor will surgical operations.
The cause is inSide-bad circulation.
The blood is stagnant, the veins fab
by.
The bowel walls are weak, the parts
almost dead.
To cure piles you must free the cir
culation-send q fresh current through
the stagnant pools. Internal treat
ment is the sure method. Ointments
and cutting won't do it.
J. S. Leonhardt, NJ D., a specialist,
Of Lincoln, Neb.. set at work some
years ago to find the internal cure for
piles. He succeeded. He named ibis
prescription Hem Roid, and tried it in
1000 cases before he was satisfied
Now Hem-R oid is sold under guaran-

The hospital facilities for the coming meet will be
such as to be ample for every requirement. Two

floors equipped with and all facilities for any
emergency. In addition to the regular surgical
staff Red Cross nurses will be hand day and
night to render their services II they become neces
sary Both tents will be thoroughly lighted to ex-
pedite any emergency work which the nurses or
surgeons may be called upon to perform.
The probabilities point to a record number OF
