WONDERFUL CHANGE
Quickly Produced in Cases of
Nervous Debility.
Mrs. Ella Kendall Discusses
Symptoms of Her Trouble.
TRIED THE NEW TONIC
Rheumatism, Nervousness and
Headaches Have Disappeared.
Heartily Recommends the Use
of ''Tona Vita" to All.
TRIED THE NEW TONIC

When seen recently Mrs. Ella Ken
dali, residing on Wordell street, spoke
Interestingly regarding her experience
with the new tonic "Tona Vita now
being introduced in Topeka, by special
lists sent here for that purpose.
Mrs Kendall said: Il have been suf-
fering with nervous trouble and rheum-
atism for some time, and l could
not sleep at nights. / am one of those
who want to enjoy life and be happy,
but 1 know without good health thai
is impossible.
"a short time ago. continued Mrs
Kendall, 81 heard of these specialists
who are here introducing this tTona
Vita and l went to see them. I liked
the way they went about things. j
heard one of them tell a woman that
thy did not think that their medicine
would benefit her troubles and there
fore did not want her to buy it. This
act impressed me so that 1 bought a
bottle. After taking it several days.
L now sleep fine and what / eat I en-
joy because it agrees with me. ]
know of other people who are also
taking this tonic and have been bene-
fitted by it. I know it is the best med
icine I have ever taken"
Mrs. KendalPs case was pure and
simple nervous debility, which is likely
to be found existing in any Topeka
family said one of the specialists sent
here to introduce" iona Vita" this morn
ing. Half of the people of Topeka
find life a burden and have little real
happiness as a result of this modern
plague continued he.
such people, and there are lots of
them, have uncertain appetites, poor
digestion, uneasy sleep, little ambition,
and they feel too tired for the simplest
work most of the time. They suffer
from timidity. have no initiative, are
droppy and haven't enough good, rich
blood in their veins to make them
capable Or self-reliant. Their nerves
are in such a condition that they
imagine themselves afflicted with vari-
GUS diseases at different times. The
real trouble with them is nervous de-
bility produced by the strain of the
modern life they are forced to lead.
There is little of this ailment among
the people of the country, the freedom
of which permits them to observe ma
lures limitations.
"Tona Vita" will positively remove
this condition If it fails to prove sat
isfactory, it costs nothing, as the medi-
cine must do the work. Or we don't
want money for it,
The specialists who are here intro
ducing ''Tona Vita are giving dem
onstrations of what the preparation
will do All day long they meet callers

sas avenue, from 9 a. m.rtos8 p. m.

No young woman, IN the joy OF

In communication addressed 10 the
Times Democrat, E. P. Of White Rose,
has seen fit to defend the actions Of Com
missioner Songy, Of the Lafourche Levee
Board, in refusing lumber and material
to the citizens OF Bonnet Care Point, at
Lucy.
The facts. not as yet brought out, are
that Sheriff Berthelot sought the assistan-
Of the board, through r.Songy, Tor mat

croaching waters of the Hymelia crevas-
Sc.
This assistance was denied by the CON-
missioner Tor the reason that the Board
could not protect private interests.
President Msurin, being appealed to,
favored lending helping hand, but still
Mr.. Songy was obstinate, replying that
the Board might criticize both the Pres
ident and himself.
Mr.. Berthelot then recalled to Mr..
Songy that the Board owed him $500
and that in the event that other men,
bers should question the legality nf this
action, then the cost Of all material util-
zed be deducted from the amount OF the
! bill.

Songy, being protected from censure by
this guarantee, still refused the material,
Notwithstanding the fact as above stated,
that the Board had Mr.. Berthelot's mon-
ey back of it all.
On Tuesday, Mr.. Songy sent for two
thousand empty sacks located at Lucy,
to be turned over to planter, a few
miles above here to fight back water.
This planter, it is true, is reliable and
honest and will account through CON-
missioner Songy. to the Board for the
sacks.
What authorization warranted him in
furnishing one party with material, when
he was not authorized in letting another
party. equally responsible, have the
same !?
Can this be attributed to poor judg.
ment. or was it prompted by spite and
malice?
