medicines, there is not a prepare
ton which will do what KonjOla has
done for me-" This remarkable
statement was received just few
days ago by The Konjola Man, who
is at Hooks drug store, Pennsyl-
vania and Market Streets, Indian
apolis, from Mr.. Frank A. Sharp,
well-known citizen of this city, who
lives at 405 East Washington Street.
Since The Konjola Man has been
introducing and explaining this cele-
brated new Konjola compound to
the public Of Indianapolis and vi
cinity, he has been receiving an un.
ending stream Of praising letters and
statements from local people who
come forth and tell their experience
with Konjola. At the same time,
crowds continue to visit him daily
to purchase and find out about this
new medicine.
Mr.. Sharp, whose photograph ap-
pears above, has made a detailed
statement about the benefits he de-
rived from the use OF Konjola, and
further states:
For five years I was a victim
OF stomach troubles, and like many
other people, tried all kinds Of
medical attention and began to think
finally that nothing could be done
to put an end, once and for all, to
my misertes.
THE cramps which I would have
in my stomach nearly every day got
so severe and painful that I would
nearly faint. I couldn't keep a thing
on my stomach. I wouldn't dare
to eat any kind Of food with acid
in It, like pickles, for instance, be
cause If I did, there would be no
end to my niseries, and even light
foods would upset my system, be-
come sour and cause liquid sub
stance to raise up in my throat that
certainly produced misery. But
worst Of all was those painful at
tacks I had from cramps. Some
times thought ! was going to pass
out-that is how severely I suf-
fered.
well, I got Konjola. After the
second or third day 1 had a slight
spell Of cramps, but not so agoniz-
ing as before That is the last at
tack have had, and it's been sew
eraf weeks now. took a full course
Of Konjola, and It's a positive fact
that l don't remember a day when I
felt better than I do now The aw-
full taste formerly had in my
mouth has disappeared, I can re-
tain my food and even digest Vege-
tables and fruits. What I eat now
agrees with me and does me some
good. All the sourness, fermentation
and painful cramps are gone from
my system. AS a result, have
taken on weight and strength, and
j really feel fine in the mornings
and all during the day. I'm a brass
worker by trade, and now I can
turn out just as good a days work
as ever.
YES, this is the first time I've
been out Of these miseries for five
years, as I stated before, and it was
only the wonderful work of Konjola
that lid 1t. 1t is a pleasure to in.

know from experience that there

ler had approximately 100000 in a

the bandit machine. The robbers Sc
cured the money. but when they
found their car useless. they dropped
the money bag and comma ndeered a

ALL RIGHT TO USE
ROUGE AT FUNERALS

In a sumptuous motor car the ia
nous Baroness Vaughan, the morga-
matte wife of the late King Leopold OF
Belgium, drove to a Partisan cemetery,
where the funeral procession of a
cousin was waiting for her with some
Impotence. Before alighting she
opened her vanity bag and proceeded
to rouge her lips and powder her nose
in full view of the waiting group.
The chief mourner, in singing words,
reproached the baroness. She retail
ated and SO stormy did the scene be-
come that keeper fastened up to
restore peace.
The end Of it was a summons, in
which the baroness was cited as cause
and principal witness of the disturb
ance. Those who went to the palais
de Justice in the hope of hearing her
answer to her name were treated to
farcical half-hour for their pains
before the case was dismissed Not
even in her absence would any inn
partial Partisan indorse an attack on
pretty woman's cosmetics: the
would-be reformer got no sympathy.

Tattooing No Longer
Confined to Savages

The art of tattooing had its origin
among the untutored and slightly can
nibalistic natives Of New Zealand and
the South Pacific islands. Conven-
tionalized parrots and parrot-6sh, and
endless geometrical designs were
tapped into the epidermis with crude
instruments resembling a hammer
and tongs, according to a writer in
Vanity Fair.
The SCOT Of the candle nut was
mixed with coconut oil, rubbed on
the bone needle points. and hibis-
cus-wOod mallet was then used to force
the needles into the lady or gentle
man who wished to be tatooed.
Tattooing has passed from the saw
age to the sailor, from the sailor to
the landsman. 1t has percolated
through the entire social stratum.
Tattooing has received its credentials,
and may now be found beneath many

them got into an argument. Instead
of drawing a razor, one of the negroes

RADIO MESSAGES
TO OTHER WORLDS?

Recent discoveries, made known by
the president of England's Royal AS
Economical society, indicate that the
little dark star on which we live is
situated not far from the center Of
the greater universe, something man
in his conceited ignorance has always
believed. For every sun, or
twinkling star in space. there are
many more dark stars or planets,
which shine, if at all, by reflected
light. This destroys one of primitive
mans illusions that the sky and sun
and stars were all created for the
benefit of himself and his fellows
alone. In these millions of unseen
worlds there must be others similar
" situated as our earth, on which
the same forms Of life have appeared
and exist. One of these days radio
may be perfected to the point where
the people on one planet may ex-
change messages with those on an
other. 1t is a far-distant probability
but NOT an impossibility -Capper's
Weekly.

Jefferson Takes High

Thomas Jefferson, among other
things, was clever realtor If he
lived in these days there would be
few, if any, who would be rated
higher than the famous Yirglnian. His
most outstanding deal of course, was
the purchase of the entire West at
the rate of four cents an acre. For
million square miles of territory,
which has proved to be the richest
mineral land in the world and among
the most fertile of soil, he paid ST.
100000 in cash and assumed all claims
on the land, the payment Of which
with interest and other charges
brought the total price to $27, 267, 622
This land, acquired in 1903 from
France, now comprises the thirteen
states of Louisiana, Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Iowa, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota. Nebraska and Oklahoma, and

TURNS WORRY OVER

Probably the oldest active newspa-
per editor and publisher in the Unit
ed States is G. S. Parker of Airing
ton, Mass, publisher of the Airing
ton Advocate and Lexington Minute
Man he was born April III. 1889.
He is con the job every day and his
writing Is like copper plate. Another
unusual thing about Mr. Parker is
that he belongs to line which has
lived continuously in Middlesex coun-
ty, Mass. since 1886, says National
Republic.
Seyenty-one years ago Mr. Parker
entered the office of the Woburn
Journal as an apprentice In 1861 he
bought an interest in the Woburn
Budget but left his paper in the care
of brother who had returned
from the Civil war that he might
himself enlist in the Union army.
In 1874 Mr.. Parker returned to the
Arlington Advocate and for more than
forty years has made a success of

King on Strike

One often says eas happy as a

ton and kings. like everyone else, are
beset by many worries and grievances
for which they seek redress, but, being
kings, they have the more difficulty
in doing so. Do you know that the
king of Spain once went on a strike?
His majesty handed his prime minister
a sealed petition with the request
that it be granted Internationally.
When it was opened it was found to
be in the kings own hand. He was
often obliged, he stated, to work 10
hours or more day he therefore de-
manded for himself an elght-hour day.

High Praise Accorded
to American Hospitals

Brinck Eliassen, a Danish physician
who has just returned home from d
visit to the United States. is en-
thusiastfc about American hospitals.
He was amazed by the evidence OF
wealth and speaks in terms Of high
praise of the generosity Of American
millionaires toward the hospitals. Ow-
ing to the large amounts given for the
benefit of the sick people, he says,
American hospitals are probably the
best equipped in the world" Doctor
Eliassen's opinion of hygienic condi-
tons in American hospitals, except
ing the very modern ones, is more
critical. In Chicago he says, Il
saw awful places provided for the sick
poor" In the course of an interview
the doctor asserted that during the
coming summer 200 American sur
geons would visit Scandinavia under
the escort Of Danish woman, Miss
Christensen, secretary at the medical
academy In New York.
