Pile Sufferers
AN You Answer These Questions?

Can You Answer These Questions?
Do you know why ointments do
not give you quick and lasting re-
lief?
Why cutting and operations fail?
Do you know the cause of piles is
internal?
That there is a stagnation of
blood in the lower bowel?
Do you know that there is a
harmless internal tablet remedy
discovered by DR.. Leonhardt and
known as HEM-ROID, now sold by
SchlegePs Drug Stores and drug
gists generally, that is guaran-
teed?
HEM-ROID banishes the piles by
removing the internal cause, by
freeing blood circulation in the low
er bowel. This simple home treat
ment has an almost unbelievable
record for sure, safe and lasting re-
lief to thousands of pile sick suf-.
ferers, and saves the needless pain
and expense of an operation. There
is no reason why it should not do
the same for you advertise

PIECES OF, HATE, AND OTHER
ENTHUSIASTS. By Heyw d
Broun. George H. Doran Company.
NNE of the hymns to be used
during the penitential season
of Lent, according to the
hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, begins with the lines:
Forty days and forty nights
Thou vast tempted in the wild.
Forty-two pieces Of hate" as that
master of the literary rapier, Mr..
Haywood Broun, mirthfully calls
them, make up this collection of
pieces of criticism, reprinted from
newspapers and periodicals. In spite
of the calculatedly vicious sound of
his title. it is not likely that their
author expected, or even intended,
that they should be taken very
seriously, still less that their reading
shall be in the nature Of a peniten-
tial exercise. And except for a few
of them, which do seem to lack any
adequate excuse for existence, they
are not either very dreary or infused
with savage hatred. Indeed, there
is reason to suppose that the title
embodies sportive play upon words
which generous public will for
Overseeing it is Mr.. Broun who
makes the joke.
Mr.. Broun's point of view leads
him to make jokes all the time under
the lash of his own artistic con-
science. His preface is premeditated
jocularity, since he offers it as "an
unbiased review of Pieces of Hate
for which the publishers kindly fur
nished him advance proofs" This
pretext gives him the chance to offer
some advice to himself. 1t is not for
the likes Of a casual reviewer to
decide what particular bit of advice
he should take to heart; but the fact
that he seems to suspect that he
does not always know what he is
writing about, or what he wants to
do, is sign of intelligence struggling
out from under many great waves
of words.
1t is said to be a matter of great
importance to writer of material
he thinks worth including in a book
that he should be able to find a
publisher. This is doubtless true in
Mr.. Broun's case, as in all others.
But in view of the incontestable
vogue of Mr.. Broun, day by day, it
is clear enough that it has been
equally important for a publisher to
find Mr.. Broun; and the publisher
who beat the rest of the publishers
20 him, since the world is as it is,
must be thought to have shared the
honors with the author. In q word,
