Piles Go Quick
Without salNcs or Cutting

Thousands who have piles have not learned that quick and perma- nent relief can only he accomplish cd with internal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treat- ment with ointments and supposl- tories will remove the cause.
 Bad circulation causes piles. There Is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. s. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy and called his prescription HEM-ROID. Dr. Leonhardt tried 1t in 1000 cases with the marvellous record of success in 9S per cent and then decided it should be sold by druggists every where under & rigid money-back guarantee.
 Don't waste any more time with outside applications, Get a package of HEM-ROID from your druggist today. It has given safe and last ing relief to thousands and will do the sa:.-e for you.

injury was received. The law being contractual, it follows the workers even outside the States unless the contract otherwise provides.
 The provision for medical aid calls for services, medical, hospital, etc., for 60 days, not to exceed $25O, "and hereafter such additional simi- lar treatment within one year from the date of the injury as the com mission by special order may deter mine to be necessary" Refusal to accept treatment relieves the employ CT, but treatment may be changed on order of the commission on a proper showing.
 Waiting time is limited to three days, compensation for which is pay able if the disability lasts longer than four weeks. Wages or other advances paid after the injury are to be on the award. As stated, 66 2-3 per cent of the average earn ings is the amount of compensation, not less than $6 nor more than $2O per week, unless the average earn ings are less than $6, when full wages will be paid. For temporary total disability the maximum period is 400 weeks, and for permanent total 300 weeks, and thereafter 25 per cent of the average annual earn ings for life, apparently subject to the same minimum and maximum limitations as other awards.
 For temporary partial disabilities the wage loss is the basis, two thirds of the difference between earnings before and after the injury being allowed; but for permanent partial disabilities, schedule awards are provided Gin lieu of all other compensation" ranging from 232 weeks for loss of major arm at shoulder and 2O7 weeks for loss of leg at hip joint to 8 weeks for the loss of a toe and 13 weeks for the loss of little finger at the distal joint, minor hand.

election is presumed; but as to the second any employee may address the compensation commission charg- ing that the occupation in which his employer is engaged is habard- ous, whereupon the commission shall issue an order returnable within 10 days requiring the employer to appear and show cause why he should not be required to accept or reject the provisions of the act; or such order may be issued by the commission upon it's own motion. If the employment is determined to be hazardous, election is presumed un- less the employer rejects within 10 days after such determination. If a rejection is filed, such employer, in common with major employers, loses the three customary common law defenses in cases of injuries to their employees. Election by the em ployee is presumed in all cases where employers are under the act, and if they reject and the employer ac cepts, he retains the defenses in
 
 such rejecting employee. Employers under the act may exempt them selves as regards any employees whose employments are not hazard ous by filing with the commission the written consent of such employee to such exemption.
 The injuries covered are those due to accidents arising out of and in the course of the employment, and recovery under the act is the eX- elusive remedy where both parties have accepted the act. Where the injury is due to the employers fail ure to comply with any statute or lawful order of the commission, bene- fits are increased 15 per cent; while if it is due to the willful failure of the employee to use safety de- vices provided, or to obey reasonable rules properly brought to his notice, with diligent effort to secure en- forcement, benefits are reduced 15 per cent.
 Domestic servants, including fam fly chauffeurs, farm labor, casual employments, and out workers are excluded from the provisions of the act. Public employees are included only if acceptance is made by law or ordinance. Minor employees are with in the law whether employed in vio- lation of law or not.
 Occupational diseases in any form, and contagious or infectious dis eases contracted during the course of the employment are not included; nor death which occurs more than 300 weeks after the accident. The act is not to be construed as de- priving employees of their rights un- der the laws of the States relating

RUFFO APOLOGIZES
Italian Baritone Tries to Atone For Making Scene When Conductor
 of Concert Was Too Slow.

Berlin. May oS (AP) - An ex- hibition of temperament, character istic in many artists of various call ings, was given by Titta Ru:fo. the Italian baritone when he made his first appearance In Berlin opera. Singing the title role In "Rigoet- to-" the singer complained in the third act that Conductor Dobrowen was moving too slowly for him. After signalling repeatedly to the conductor, Ruffo lost patience and with one bound was beside the prompter's box, gesticulating franti- cally.
 Two factions were formed im- mediatcly in the audience, one for the singer and the other siding with the conductor. So much opposition arose that it was impossible to con- tinue the performance and the or chestra proved its loyalty 10 the conductor by refusing to play until Ruffo had apologized. This Ruffo readily agreed to do, appeared be- fore tho curtain and after express ing his regrets to the conductor for the incident embraced and kissed | him,

By Wallace M. Bayliss Far and wide John was called
 Woman Hoter," For the ladies he cared not snap; Would as soon wed a wild alligator, Said that marriage meant just life
 scrap,
 Yet he was stickler for fashion; Appeared in tho latest of styles; To be up-to-date was his passion, The center Of all women's smiles. As for Jane. all her friends know
 she hated The mon, for their habits she flayed; ; She swore that she's never he mated, Shed live and she'd die an old maid. And yet she wore sweet filmy dresses That men couldn't help but look at; She looked as though meant for
 caresses
 Whether with or without any hat. Of course John met Jane in due
 session
 And each on the other one made A rather surprising impression; The two made a fashion parade. Soon strenuous court John was pay
 ing;
 He brushed aside all of Janes Noes; Now both of them go about saying: I certainly fell for some clothes."

Blue Jays Get Lost Children

A tale of mother instinct and mother love of such intensity as to put many a pridcful mother to shame has for the past few days been the chief topic of interest among those residing in the vicinity of the junction Of South Main and Ellis streets. It is the story of an immigrant family of bluejays who early this spring took up their resi- dence amid the uppermost boughs Of a tree on South Main street, near the corner of Ellis street. In this ilourishing family were five robust youngsters.
