No More Piles
You Can End Your Awful Misery s0AIuS 10 5up1nO 9nOV1IM ToInO

Thousands of Pile sufferers do not know that the cause of Piles is internal--bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel.
 That is the scientific truth about Piles--the real reason why salves and suppositories do not give per- inanent relief, why cutting does not remove the cause.
 Your itching, bleeding or pro- truding Piles will only go when you actually remove the cause--and not one minute before. External treat Inents can't do this-an internal medicine should be used. HEM ROID. the prescription of pr J, S. Leonhardt. sold by good druggists everywhere, succeeds because it stimulates the circulation, drives out congested blood, heals and re- stores the almost dead parts.
 pr Leonhardts HEM M-ROfD has an almost unbelievable record of success right in this city. So why waste time on external remedies or worry about an operation when Apothecaries Hall Co. invites every Pile sufferer to try HEM-ROI) with guarantee of money-back If 1t does not end their Piles, no matter how stubborn the case?

pleted a yearly, four times day
milking record of 20,125 pounds Of
4 per cent milk containing 8O8.1

with total milk production of
79,026 pounds of milk or enough
to supply the needs of nine fam
lilies every day for four years.
Faylo is a richly bred cow being

Ormsby Dad who is a proven son
of the sire Winterthur Bess Orms-
by Boast. Her mother is a record

an exceptionally large COW yet she
weighed about 14O0 pounds before
freshening and during her testing
year she increased in weight fin
ishing at about 1850 pounds. Not
only is Faylo a persistent producer
but she is also a good reproducer
giving birth to four heifer and one
male calves in four years. Her

WAR ON GERMS is
GREATEST BATTLE
French Scientist Praises u. S.
Research Work.

Paris.-The greatest war of the
ages, according to DIR. Harry PlOtz,
noted scientist, is that being waged
between intelligent human beings
and germs. Doctor Plotz has just
returned here after three months
in America, and in addition to be-
ing a scientist he is a well-known
bacteriologist associated with the
Pasteur institute.
Specializing in infantiIe paralysis,
smallpox, measles, etc, diseases
caused by filtrable viruses. Doctor
Plotz expressed great admiration
for the intensity of the work in
American laboratories directed to-
ward combating these particular
germs.
Doctor Dochez Of Columbia, ac-
cording to the French scientists, has
succeeded in isolating the germ of
the common cold in cultures and in
cubators and has proved the posi-
bility of injecting humans with it.
If the germ can be grown, which is
the next step, it is very probable
than an anti-toxin to the ordinary
cold may be developed, in the opin-
ion of Doctor Plotz.
And yet there seems no account
ing for infantile paralysis. 1--WE
know how to take it and isolate it
and infect others with it," he said,
referring to the actual germ, ''but
we do not yet know where it comes
from. And we know now that the
only practicable serum is the hui
man convalescent variety-for ex-
ample, such as Governor Roosevelt
of New York, a former sufferer, has
given on recent occasions"
OF 1000 cases Of infantile paraly-
sis studies this year, there was an
average Of 1912 per cent fatalities
in the epidemic of 1916, Doctor
Plotz pointed out, explaining that
approximately so per cent of infan-
tile paralysis cases are to be expect
ed in children up to ten years.
An adult, while immune to the
disease, may very well infect a
young child with infantile paraly-
sis by kissing it or coughing or
sneezing in it's presence. He be-
lieves that such diseases are large
ly conveyed by the eyes, nose and
mouth. "That is how | think the
germ is spread" he said.

2s,72O GIRL SCOUTS IN 1881
Director Josephine Schain, Cites IL
Per Cent Gain i'm Membership

a net increase of IL per cent in
membership was registered by the
Girl Scout organization in 1881, il
was announced in Wilmington last
week by Miss Josephine Schain,
national director, in review of
the years accomplishments. This
growth during year of severe
economic depression is an indica-
ton of the strong position the Girl
Scout movement has in this coun-
try, Miss Schain said. A further
evidence of its growing prestige is
that the increase in the percentage
of leaders exceeds that in the per-
centage of Girl Scouts the first
time this has happened in the his
tory of Girl Scouting, she added.
Our registrations on November 80
showed an increase of 27,720 new
members for the first eleven
months of 1881" Miss Schain ex-
planned. Indications are that our
active membership will come close
to the 100000 mark by the end of
the year. Miss Schain said that
there were now more than 500 Girl
Scout camps, of which the major
ity were permanent camps. Dur
ing the last summer $4,000 Scouts
devoted a part or all of their vaca-
ton time to living, working and
playing out of doors. Winter
camping" said the director, sis
becoming increasingly popular.
Troops of girls have been week
end camping at Camp Andre, the
national Girl Scout experimental
camp at Briarcliff Manor, all dur
ing the Fall and early Winter.
Winter training courses for Girl
Scout leaders viii be held for the
first time this year at Camp Edith
Macy, adjoining Camp Andree.
The first session opened on Deem
Der %, with a capacity registra-
ton and a long waiting list. Two
later courses will be given at
Camp Macy, from January p to
February 1, and from February 3
to TO-" Girl Scouts throughout
the land have taken an active part
this year in the emergency relief
program. They have collected
thousands of articles of clothing
which they have repaired and de-
livered to welfare agencies for dis
tribution During the weeks pre-
ceding the holidays, they COLLECTED
toys, made and dressed dolls, pre-
served jellies and canned veg
etables. The national organization
is supporting the 'stay-in-School"
movement sponsored by the Presi-
dents Organization for Unemploy-
ment Relief, with posters and liter
allure urging Girl Scouts to stay in
school themselves, and to urge
others to do so when necessary.
