Are You Afflicted With Piles?

If so, read this article carefully,
and learn what your leading drug
gsts think of Meritol Pile Remedy.
If you are a chronic sufferer from
Piles or Hemmeroids in any of their
various forms, it is not necessary to
attempt to describe the awful suf-
fering and torture resulting from
them. The pain, the intense itching,
the burning sensation and the awful
distress and discomfort is too well
known by you to admit of adequate
description. If you are only afflict-
ed with this disease in an acute or
primary stage, then let this be a
warning to you to begin today to
check the disease in its early stages
and thus avoid months and per-
haps years of suffering and probably
an operation from this, one of the
greatest Affections which can come
TO the human body.
This disease. whether acute or
chronic, is easily and rapidly over
come by the proper use of Meritol
Pile Remedy.
This remedy is in a class by ITSELF
for, instead of depending on an
outside application, as in the case
of nearly all preparations for this
affection, Meritol Pile Remedy is so
prepared and put up that it is APP
piled by means of rectal nozzle,
which screws onto collapsible
tube containing the remedy, and
which, when inserted, discharges a
portion of the contents of the tube
freely upon the internal Piles or
Hemmeroids.
In addition to this advanced
method in the treatment of Piles, a
scientific internal remedy is includ-
ed in this treatment. This remedy
Is in tablet form, enclosed in a
glass tube, to be taken internally.
Meritol Pile Remedy Is scientific
ally prepared for the treatment OF
Piles in all of the various forms of
this distressing and painful Attic
ton. 1t will give positive and
permanent relief when all others
fail, and we heartily recommend 1t
to any sufferer, as we are thoroughly
familiar with the formula used in
this prescription and we are posi-
tive that the most satisfactory re-
suits are obtained by it's use.

THE NON-PAIiTISAN PRIMARY.

If statewide primaries are to be
preserved the law should be subject
to radical amendment. The effort
to preserve party lines should be
abandoned. The primary ballot
should be made to conform to the
election ballot. Instead of the
voter being required to indicate his
party preference, that task, if ne
cessary at ALL should be left to the
candidate, and the voter should be
given the blanket ballot precisely as
is now done when he presents him
self to pass upon the nominations on
election day. This plan would leave
every voter free, without stultifica-
ton, or law evasion, to vote for the
best man or the worst, precisely as
he is now free to do under the Aus
tralian ballot system. OF course, as
mere detail, the new primary law
would necessarily carry system of
percentages under which a ticket for
election day would be constructed
for final determination under what
might be called referendum.
The end in view is to get rid of the
ancient incubus of party organiza-
ton. The time is opportune. Party
organization is under indictment for
high crimes and grave misdemean-
ors. 1t is charged that the party
lash is used by INSCRIPTIONS bosses,
and it is freely asserted that the
rights of the people are best ad-
vanced by refusal to abide by party
decisions. If the contentious are
we'll founded the germ of mischiev-
Gus politics is in adherence to party
government, and the remedy is in
breaking down the barriers erected
by party machinery and sending
every candidate directly to the peo-
pie.
The Iowa primary law is based on
contention that the people are en-
titled to rule free of all Intervention
on the part of bosses, or leaders, or
what not 1t will be consistent,
then, to abandon attempt to chain
men to party relationship. Let men
be given the largest liberty to fol-
low their consciences out of con-
gress as we'll as in.
If the experiment of the direct
primary is to be continued let it be
relieved of party yoke. Let it be
free 10 all.-Sioux City Journal.
There are two reasons why the
primary, if continued, should be
made non-partisan. One reason is
that no other method guarantees
that the voter at the primary will
express his real preference instead
of his desire to assist in breaking
down the party whose primary he
enters. The other is that no other
method has been devised for bring
ing out the vote of the party in the
ity. The republicans party at the
primary last June cast only 20 per
cent of its vote in Dubuque county,
where there were no local contests,
and over 100 per cent of its vote in
Polk county where democrats regis
tered as republicans assisted in the
nomination of Judge Prouty for con-
gress with perhaps the purpose of
opposing him at the general election.
The democratic vote in Polk county
was only slight proportion of that
county's vote for Bryan in 1908.
Such dishonesty and fraud will con-
continue while the partisan primary
lasts.-Dubuque Times.

Ciyilizing influence of the Cow.

There is nothing aside from the
milk of human kindness so neces-
sary to the comfort of any family
as the milk of a good cow. 1t is
like oil poured upon the troubled
water of family life; it is perfect
food for the baby; it is an excel
lent beverage for the children; 1t
furnishes cream for the coffee, but
ter for the bread and cheese for
the lunch. 1t shortens the pie
crust and raises the Johnny cake,
even the cats and dogs cry for it.
With the farmer it goes still furth-
er. 1t raises the calf, it feeds the
pig, it pleases the colt, and 1t de-
lights the chickens. Yes, and II he
will only give her fair chance, the
COW will clothe the children, buy
comforts for the wife, pay the
taxes and help lift the mortgage.
