At a recent club dinner given by news- paper men at Washington the conversa- tion turned upon the subject of testimon- fals and their value in newspaper adver- tising. “I do not belieye,” sald a prom- inent politician who was present, “that one newspaper testimonial in a hundred is_genuine.” The owner gf one of the largest news- papers in the country was present and took up the subject vigorously, finally agreeing to let his opponent select any testimonial in his paper and wagering to establish its genuineness to the politician’s satisfaction, Quite by accident the case of Mr. New- ton K. Young of Pennington, N. J., was selected. He had been completely cured of a case of hemorrhoids, or piles, by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure, The politician was especially skeptical regarding this case, as it was alleged that Mr. Young was & man over eighty years of age and had been cured of piles after fifty years of awful suffering and when all other remedies had failed. It was agreed that ihe politiclan should write to Mr. George 'W. Bearborough, Ph. G., a prominent res- ident of Pennington, and that the result of the controversy should rest upon his reply. The following was Mr. Scarbor- ough’s answer: “Dear Sir: Mr. Newton K. Young of this town, a man nearly elghty years of age, and who has been a sufferer with piles for perhaps half a century, has been completely cured by the use of Pyramid Plle Cure. 1 felt especially interested in the case, as it was upon my recommenda- tion that Mr. Young began the use of the remedy after having used so many others. ;::uré respectfully, Geo.

[ e s MOODY OPPOSES NAVY PROGRAMME Holds That a Year-to- Year Policy Is Preferable. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, March 7.—Al- though the House of Representfatives did not adopt the Dayton resolution providing for continuing tne naval pol- jcy and an intelligent and systematic programme of naval increase, it will be the principal feature of naval legislation at the next session of Congress. Secre- tary Moody is not altogether in favor of the establishment of a naval pro- gramme as suggested by the Dayton resolution and advocated by the generat board of the navy, of which Admiral Dewey is head. The resolution calls for data to be furnished Congress for its guidance in naval legislation. The general board has already provided that data in the form of asrecommendation by Admiral Dewey, as president of the general board, that four battleships, two ar- mored cruisers, two cruising scouts, four torpedo-boat destroyers, with aux- iuaries as needed, be authorized every year until a fleet based on gn effective fighting strength of forty-elght battle- ships shall have been established. Mr. Moody thinks that Congress now real- 1zes the necessity for an adequate in- crease in the navy, and that it is willing to be guided by the advice of the de- partment from year te yexr in the con- struction of ships to whatever extent they are needed. Mr. Moody believes that naval progress takes a course too devious .o anticipate, and that a year- to-year policy permits of more elastic- ity than can be gained otherwise. Notwithstanding objections raised to the establishmecat of a naval programme naval officers still regard it as a most feasible policy for the increase of the navy, and feel that Representative Day- ton has done a great thing for the fu- ture of the naval service by obtaining the naval committee’s fagvorable action on the resolution callifig’ for the adop- tion of a naval progtamme. President Roosevelt personally — expressed to Dayton his approval of the resolution, and declared that he would do all in his power to further its objects. Dayton expects to bring the resolution up at an early part of the next session of Con- gress, so that its provisions may be at once put into effect NO REPORT RECEIVED OF MILLAR'S ARREST State Department Has No Informa- tion as to Rumor of Exile of American. ‘WASHINGTON, March 7.—No informa- tion has been recelved at the State De- partment or at the Russian Embassy here regarding the report from Boston that Willlam Millar, alias Vicente Millekiwicz, claiming to be an American citizen, has been arrested in St. Petersburg and sen- tenced to exile in Siberia for his sctivity aniong the Poles in Russia.
