Macy, president of the Peoples Coal

best.known retail coal concerns OF
Indianapolis.
Macy reported that his company
had beeen stressing the buy now"
slogan, because Of impending condi-
lions which are expected to boost
the price Of coal next season. He
said May was the breathing spell"
in the retail coal trade, but he an
ticipated that June deliveries would
be considerably heavier than this

The increase in the local consump-
tion Of Indiana coal. Macy said, was
due primarily to improved marketing

lation of modern machinery at indl-
ana mines to grade and clean coal,
he pointed out, had resulted in better
coal being offered indianapolis coal
buyers. From so to 60 per cent of
the coal used in Indianapolis comes
from Indiana mines. he said.
Late spring conditions has helped
increase the consumption tonnage in
indianapolis, Macy said, but the

, bowel disorders and neuritis and
rheumatic troubles. Just few days
! ago Mr.. NJ. V. Sliger. well known
1 indianapolis citizen, living at 3109
West Washington Street, this city,
made the following statement during
IA conversation with The Konjola
Man who daily meets crowds Of
local people at Hooks drug store,
pennsylvania and Market Streets,
where he is explaining this medi-
cine.
II cannot help but say a good
word for your Konjola, because it is
{ a stop to my suffering" said Mr..
{ Snger. II had neuntis and the
: pains were so severe they felt like
the point OF a knife piercing me in
rAhe shoulder. I had a constant,
;Eteady ache in my arm and elbow.
AT nights l would have to be up
walking the floor, because l just
d! simply couldn't sleep.
'I was also very nervous, so that
I little things would excite me, and
from losing sleep l become pretty
weak and rundown. My right arm
: got so bad that / couldn't raise it
!. above my head.
II had been reading about Kon-
pola, and one case described mine
! pretty closely, so I got this medicine,
sRnd. as have said it is the only
thing which really put a stop to my
suffering. The sharp pains in my
{ shoulders have been relieved, also
the arms and elbows. 1 can raise
my right arm way up above my
head now, but If ! had tried this
before, 1t certainly would put me in
misery. My nerves are eased up,
and / sleep better than I have for
a long time. 1t seems that Konjo
has benefited my whole system and
II certainly want to indorse this
, medicine to everyone"
Konjola is q medicine which CON
tains twenty-five juices from natural
plants, blended with other splendid
ingredients. all of which have a sur
prising effect upon the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, and by
ainvigorating those organs to more
activity, Konjola drives rheumatic
and neuritis poisons from the sys-
I TEN. Many people who take this
, medicine say afterward that it seems
20 act like magic in these cases.
! The konjola Man is at Hook
drug store, Pennsylvania and Market
Streets, Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and intro.
! ducing and explaining the merits of
atthis remedy. Free samples given.
e Konjola is also for sale by every
