THE BEST TEST Is the Service and Experience of Years. The best soldier is not the new recruit of a few months’ service. The best mechanic is not the appren- tice, and the best man in the line is he who has been tried by years of service end experience. This is not only true of men but of nearly eversthing else. and especially is it true of medicines for disease. New remedies must be thoroughly tested and their merit established beyd¥d question before the inteliigent public will put faith in_them. There are not many remedies which have stood the test of ten years and con- tinued to increase in popularity each year, but this is true of the Pyramid Plle Cure, and it i= the only plle cure that has stood this test, and among the many popular medicines on the market it is the only one which can be sald to have no competitor; its sale has steadily increased from year to year and this result has been not so much because of judicious advertising as because it has béen recommended by word of mouth from one cured sufferer to an- other. Piles is supposed to be caused, in most cases by a sedentary life and lack -of exercise, but it generally comes without any apparent excuse and often people who live an active outdoor life are vie- tims of the disease. A case in point is that of James Creeden, a lumberman and teamster in Northern Michigan. He says: I suffered for eight or nine years from itching and protruding piles, sometimes so severely that I could scarcely walk, then I would get better for a week or two, but the trouble always returned. I could not afford the expense of an operation and en- dured the disease until I was advised by | | the 'MUCH COVERT ' CRITICISM OF KAISER'S ACTS Gemment on Avowals of | Friendship Teward England AR R | Statement That He Deco- | rated Lord Roberts.

The writer concludes: “The German people seem about to re- ject the friendship of the great nation which = formerly Germany earnestly wooed."” Die Taeglische Rundschau (Conservative) says the Emperor is estranged from the nation by his behavior in England, and declares a too close rapprochement’ witn Great Britain is opposed to German in- terests. The Cologne Volks Zeitung, the ieading Centrist organ, weighs the chances of a Russian or British rapprochement for Germany carefully, concluding that the best policy for German interests is an en- tente with Great Britain, from the Cath- olic standpoint particularly, and also be- cause an understanding with Great Brit- ain means the furtherance of more liberal political institutions. The Prussian Diet's action in referring the canal bill to a committee of twenty- eight, composed largely of opponents of the measure, augurs {ll for the bill's chances. The whole Conservative press continues its warfare against the meas- ure.

QUESTION our that | Cabinet Ministers Believe Tt Can Be Arrived At Without the Slight- est Friction. LONDON, Feb. 3.—More important to some Cabinet Ministers than the Euro- pean situation is the bellef that an agree- ment on the Nicaraguan canal dispute can . be arrived at without the slightest fric- tion. Aside from China this was the only cloud on Great Britain's diplomatic hor- izon previous to the Queen’s death. Now it is hoped that it will disappear. The announcement yesterday that Great Britain 1s about to make counter pro- posals to' the United States on the basis of the United States amendments to th Hay-Pauncefote traaty which are Itk ate extended negotiations, not a word of which is known In England, may be safely described as a pound of Salisbury and an ouhce of Lansdowne. Phe aged Premier's foreign policy has been somewhat justly described as a mix- ture of Micawberism and fatalism. Lord Lansdowne is sali to have taken a rather aggressive standpoint. insisting on the observance of ine ethics of treattes, most just and unanimous aspiration of the Filiplnos will be to form a part of the | federation and be constituted a sovereign | free State in the same form as exists in the United States. ‘‘Consequently, with these principles to | but the same spirit of compromise, which it is hoped will be shown by the United States, prevailed within the British Cab- inet, Lord Salisbury. as is usual, his ‘point. Whether the Cabinet is usua“y optimistic in thinking the United States will agree to counter propositions time alone will tell. As a Foreign Office offictal said: “Nothing is ever settled by our | one dispatch.” the offictals, Emperor “’Ii)llam never does things by halves. Neither in China, nor in other parts of the world, do Russia and France, in tha Foreign Office’s views, give any indfcation of counteraction against this activity of British diplomacy. Lord Salisbury is sald to rely on Emperor Willlam to keep in touch with the Czar. So long as this is feasible France {8 not expected to take any serious Initiative. Moreover, according to dispatches in the British press, French Anglophobiaism seems to have abated since the Queen's death. Austria and Ttaly are put down as sure to do nothing contrary to Emperor Wil- liam’s wish. "It is easily seen that Em- peror William is the dominating figure in uropean affairs.
