STATEMENTS MADE
In Connection With New Tonic
Causes Comment.
iona Vita" Removes All Traces
of Modern Malady.
IMPROVEMENT RAPID.
w. S. Challis Heard of Good Re-
suits Being Produced.
Following Remarks Should Be
of Interest to Hundreds.

One sensational statement after an
other is being made in connection with
''Tona Vita" the new tonic that is &C
complishing such remarkable results
in Topeka. Mr.. w S. Challis residing
on r. r. No. 1, had this to say re-
Gently:
This is the first medicine I have
ever taken that really does what they
say. Everything seemed to be wrong
with me. My stomach was in bad
shape and I didn't eat we'll, and 1 had
no energy at ALL
II came to this store to try this med
icine, and one of the specialists told
me I had nervous debility. I got the
medicine, and it's the best on earth.
1t helped me right away, and has made
how I felt when I came dragging in
that store, and how I feel now, I'd
like to find some poor fellow that feels
like did and buy him { bottle of this
'Tona Vita and say to him, This is
worth more to you than all the money
in Topeka
A similar preparation to "Tona Vita"
has been great success in Eu-ope,
but the tonic is just being introduced
in the United States. The Arnold Drug
Company, has secured the agency here
and specialists are explaining the ma
ture of the medicine to the public at
the Arnold Drug Company's store, 523
Kansas Avenue, between the hours Of
8 a. m. and 8 D. m
These specialists claim that a large
per cent of the population, especially
among city people. are affected with
nervous debility. One of the special
lists in this connection said:
The symptoms of nervous debility
are unmistakable to those who know
how prevalent this trouble is. A tired.
dragging feeling of the body, a slug
gish mind and duh memory, depression
of spirits, nervousness, stomach trou-
bic, weak back, cold feet. headaches.
and bowel trouble. These are sure in
dlcations of nervous debility, and mod
ern life in big cities produces 1t in I'M
told thousands
"Ton3 Vita" will positively remove
this condition. 1t it doesn't the trial
costs nothing. 'Tona Vita is going TO
astonlsh Topeka people as it is actu-
ally worth its weight in gold to a man
or woman afflicted with nervous de-
bility."

TY HARD ON BAN.
Uses Short and Ugly Word Most
EmphaticalIy.

Detroit, May 23.-"Ban Johnson is
the most egotisticaI. the most over
bearing and the most stubborn person
in baseball today and his attack upon
the Detroit players and myself was
most unwarranted," said Ty Cobb
upon arriving home from Washington
today.
lone Of two things is certain. Either
he was dead wrong in this affair or he
was -' and here Ty expressed the
short ard ugly word in emphatic
fashion.
johnson cannot harm me by keep
ing me out of the game. He only
harms the Detroit team. My salary
goes on just the same. He said that
had it not been for the strike L prob
ably would have been reinstated in
time for the Saturday game. That was
only a bit of byplay. Johnson had no
intention of reinstating me. If he had
done so he would have demonstrated
that he was wrong in his first action
because he would not have had time
to investigate the merits of the case.

New York, May 23-Gold bricks have
been displaced as Instruments for the
swindlers activity by gold dust"
made cheaply and easily from copper
and brass filings, according to the tes-
timony on which the Brooklyn police
are holding JOS. Hersberg.
A large leather bag which was given
to the police by Chas. Klerbower, a
Long Island farmer, contains the al
legged gold dust. K1erbower says that
it cost him $135 pound. According
to the police Hersberg told him that a
friend was anxious to sell cheaply some
gold dust which he had. acquired in
Maiden Lane. The pre1iminaries were
arranged, the dust was exhibited and
Klerbower had a handful analysed. It
was real gold dust. He placed his seal
on the bag so that the contents might
not be tempered with and several days
later paid $3.50 for the bag.
