MRS. DOLLIE CHAMBERS

wick Street, this city. while talking
with The Konjola Man at Hooks
drug store, Pennsylvania and Mar
ket Streets, Indianapolis, where large
crowds are calling throughout each
day to find out for themselves about
this surprising new medicine.
About four years ago l found out
that had rheumatism and kidney
trouble" said Mrs. Chambers. my
suffering seemed to get worse each
year, and, like great many other
people, tried first one kind of treat
ment and then another. 1 got some
relief by rubbing with liniments and
n1assaging, but the rheumatic poison
still remained in my system l took
O lot Of medicines that only upset
my stomach, and so 1 suffered that
much worse. Both of my ankles
were swollen over twice their natu-
raj size. had to buy my shoes sew
.@ral sizes too large, and 1t was so
1hard for me to walk that I very sell
dom went anywhere. and I missed
church on many Sundays just. be-
cause It was impossible to get out
of the house. My toes would get
stiff and rigid, and the awful pains
would shoot from my hips down to
my feet. My knees were swollen and
stiff, and I was In such miserable
suffering that many times I had to
cry aloud with pain. My stomach
was affected so that my food would
not digest. and constipation had a
very strong hold on me, for I was
in the habit of taking strong laxa-
tives all the time. I was also sub
ject to rising many times during the
night, because of the weak condition
of my kidneys, and during the day
/ had dizzy, light-headed feelings so
that I would have to get hold of
something to keep from falling.
II decided to try Konjola, because
1t seemed like people all over the
city were praising it, but admit
that I come to believe no medicine
would help me. Well. this Konjola
started my food to digesting right
before the third day. and 1t seemed
to cleanse my whole system, so the
constipation ended, and didn't have
the dizzy spells or faint feelings that
used to come over me every day. The
swelling began to leave my ankles
and knees and now these parts are
normal as they should be. My limbs
are free of all pain and misery, and
/ know I never felt better at. any
time In my life before. Yes, I will
tell anyone that Konjola has made
me we'll in every way, and I never
thought any medicine would com.
pletely relieve my suffering. so of
kourse, 1t Is a real pleasure to in.
horse this new Konjola."
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store. Pennsylvania and Mar
ket Streets, Indianapolis, where he
is daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the mer-
its of this remedy. Advertisement

of the various courts are known az
Crowe-Barrett judges, Brennan
judges or Deneen-Lundin judges.
There are some good judges and
some bad ones, but ali Of them have
to be factional politicians or they
can't be nominated. Unless they
are nominated they can't be elected.
Judge Robert Grove is head of the
Grove Barrett organization and Is
also States attorney He has about
fifty lawyers as assistants and also
his own detective force.
Controls Indictments
He practically controls all grand
jury indictments and conducts all
criminal trials not Federal in their
nature. The Brennan Democratic
organization controls the mayor 3
office and the police force. Brennan
selected Mayor Dever's secretary TO
represent the organization.
Grove, Barrett and Brennan con.
trail the tax board of review, the
board of county commissioners and
the sanitary district trustees. The
findings of the board of review are
final IS to the valuation of property
for taxation.
Can Lower Taxes
Large taxpayers consider that
board as very important as it can
raise or lower the amount of taxes
they pay. If they want to get tax
favors they can't well refuse to con.

Nobody believes that half the
