THE TRUTH MUST BE SPOKEN.

. —J+ — - WOMEN SUFFER FROM PILES -MORE THAN MEN. THE DREADFUL COMPLAINT CAN .. BE' CURED. BILE BEANS A<3AIN TO YOUR RESCUE. There are more ■women suffering from piles in the Australian Colonies than people imagine. The peculiar delicacy of the complaint causes women to suffer without divulging to their friends their malady ; and hence it is that the public are ignorant of the extent of the disorder existing among the fairer sex. It is unwise for women suffering from piles not to confide in some friend, because by doing so they would often cause much needless suffering amd agony. There are two different kinds of piles — the Bleding and the Blind Piles — the latter being by far the most painful and the most common in Australian women. Piles is a most disagrea'ble and awkward complaint, inasmuch as the malady Is accompanied by excruciating itching, irritation, and inflammation. The patient becomes irritable, despondent, restless, and the very features of the face get distorted. The constant pain brings about melancholia, a lack of ambition, a sour temper, and general discontent. } As a rule the complaint brings constipation with it, yet in some cases diarrhoea, has been known to accompany the disorder. A more awkward complaint cannot be conceived, and the sooner it is cured the better for the peace of mind of the patient. It has been proved beyond doubt that Bile Beans .has arrested the complaint more than any other remedy, and among other illustrations we give that of Mrs SNI. Webster, who lives in Pitzherbert Street, Petoni, Wellington, W.I. ; ■ Mrs Webster informed' our representative that for the past three months she had been n constant suffered of Bleeding Piles. "I had," she said, "tried almost every remedy, as well as doctors, but without avail. At length : I became disheartened, and wa3 going to give up the idea of having them cured, when I was advised by a neighbour to try Bile Beans. I had frequently heard Bile Beans spoken of as a sure remedy for oiles, so I decided to Drive them a trial. I have pnlv used four boxes at present, amd can candidly say that they have given me more relief than any other remedy I have tried. You are at perfect liberty to malce what use you choose of this testimony." Bile Beans will also be Tound an undoubted specific for Biliousness, Headache, Indigestion.

date claimed to play in 'the name of the colony of New South Wales. Of course., such an assumption as -this could not be permitted, nor, it may be said, can the claims of any single club to play in the name of tho colony be considered to be either just or equitable, seeing that it excludes 'the large number of strong players, who do not happen to be reckoned among its members. The membars of the School of Arts, finding that the Sydney Chess Club was arrogating to itself the right to challenge and accept challenges in the name of the colony-^a right which they had previously only been permitted to exercise when acting in concert with the. School of Arts-Determined to start a Chess Association, which was to be a representative sooiety, formed of members from every club in town and country alike, and entirely distinct as a body from either the School of Arts or the Sydney Chess Club. Twelve months ago this association came into existence, and at once received nhe support of tha principal Sydney, suburban, and country dubs, with the exception, however, of the Sydney Chess "Club, and five minor suburban clubs, whose members were also members of the same important club. The object for which the Chess Association, was formed was principally the control of intercolonial chess, and as the' Sydney Chess Olub was claiming thi9 as being its own prerogative, it was, perhaps, natural that their members should place themselves at.once in. antagonism to it, and refuse them that right to which they considered they had the prior claim. During the past year the Sydney Chess Club has continued to issue and accept challenges in the name of the colony, and has, in fact, played both Victoria and Queensland. But the year has also shown that the now Chess Association, being a thoroughly representative body of both town and country alike, is oolaining strength and adherents from all quarters, and on the first day of January, 1900, will play its first match with another colony as representing tho chess players of New South "Wales. One thing is certain. It is utterly ridiculous for any single club to accept challenges and pretend to play in the name .of the colony, unless it obtains permission so to aot, and receives recruits from all other co-existing clubs. The right of a strong city club to manage and arrange a match with another colony might be allowed, provided the team was selected from all chess players irrespective of whether they Were members of this particular olub or not. But this right becomes a wrong when it is exercised to the detriment of other clubs, and when also a properly constituted and representative body, such as is the Chess Association, is in the field , waiting to perform -the same duty under far more just and representative conaitiona. • This, then, is the position. The Sydney Chess Club is seeking to dominate chess by giving and receiving challenges in the name of the colony, selecting the iteams exclusively from among its own members. The Chess Association of New South Wales, young and almost untried, but recruited from every principal club in Sydney and the country (with the exceptions before stated) is waiting its turn foi recognition, and as it has been formed upon a properly representative basis, cannot any longer be ignored. The only way out of the difficulty appears to us to consist in the full recognition of this Association by the other colonies, and thus end the strife which is both useless and undignified. When this is done the other minor causes of friction- will speedily disappear, and the brotherhood which chess is creating in other colonies between all classes of men, will show itself in New South Wale 3, and be productive of good, not only to that game which always creates so much enthusiasm ambng its adherents, but also in the wider spheres of life, where it is impossible according to the Spanish proverb, to have too many friends. ... Since the above article was written, the great success of the match arranged by the New South Wales Chess Association, in ,the name of the colony, against South Australia, has added an argument of a very practical kind in favour of the Association, whose playing strength was thereby so clearly demonstrated, and thi9 event will probably have a considerable influence in reducing the opposition of the hostile seotion. A little handshaking in Sydney is certainly very much to be desired, in the interests of colonial chess; and we trust the leaders .of the rival sections, whose personal jealousies seem-to have aggravated the quarrel, will now sink their differences, and unite in the cause of the game. The article we have quoted is from the first number of " The Australasian Chess Journal," which is incorporated with "The Southern j Cross." The editor of this new chess journal is Mr Charles E. Turner, a well-known player, and in the hands of such a vigorous writer and p-ble exponent of the game, we may. safely prophesy for the journal a successful and useful career. We wish it all prosperity.
