Food for the Careless

A reader who was interested In the
story OF Mrs. John Corley. who was
obliged to call Fire Firel" In order
to get her careless husband 10 chop
wood for the kitchen stove, sends us
this account OF a somewhat similar In.
cldent:
My grandmother, she writes. used to
tell about cousin OF hers whose hus-
band also was careless about proyid-
Ing firewood. Like Mrs. Corley. the
woman had managed to get along
somehow. but there came a day when
her patience became exhausted. II
was In harvest, and she expected to
have several extra men to dinner. Be
fore her husband went TO work she
asked him as usual TO cut some wood
for her. and as usual he went on with
out doing II.
When the men came 10 dinner they
gazed IN establishment al the table
Il was set In the usual way, but moth
Ing on II was cooked AT one end was
a big pan OF biscuit dough. and at the
other was a platter Of freshly-cut ham
ready to fry. There were various other
things on the table. such as raw pota-
toes and raw turnlps. In few words
the woman explained that since she
had no wood she had been unable to
cook.
With one accord the hungry men
started for the woodplle. and In a
short time she had steamlng hot din
ner for them. And never before had
she had such big pile Of firewood -

Pile Sufferers
Can You Answer These Questions?

Can You Answer These Questions?
 Do you know why ointments do not give you quick and lasting relief?
 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 harm- less remedy discovered by Dr. Leon- ,hardt and known as HEM-ROID, now sold by Clark & Brainerd Go. and druggists generally, that is guaran- teed?
 HEM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the cause, by freeing blood circulation in the lower bowel. This simple home treatment has an almost unbelievable record for sure, safe and lasting relief to thousands of pile sick sufferers. There is no reason why 1t should not do the same for you.
