Indianapolis citizen, living at 1921
w. Thirty Fifth ST., this city. while
talking with the Konjola Man at
the Hooks Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington StS., Indianapolis,
where large crowds are calling daily
to find out for themselves about
this surprising new medicine.
my trouble was stomach,
catarrh, and troubles that follow.
couldn't eat meat of any kind and
had to live on milk, graham crack
ers and vegetables. Even with that
diet would have terrible gas pains
and would bloat continually. I was
also very nervous. Also had neuritis
very bad. Now have gained nine
pounds, sleep fine, eat most any
thing, gas has disappeared and /
do not bloat any more. 1 really feel
fine and work every day. Before
taking Konjola could not work
regularly for two years. I would
get up 8 or 4 times each night on
account Of kidney trouble but now
I never get up more than once and
most Of the time, not at all.
1T Is certainly a pleasure to
know that there is a medicine like
Konjola, and I am certainly glad
to recommend it."
Konjola is different than any
remedy ever known in this section.
Where many ordinary medicines
cofltcin only 2 or herbal in
gradients which merely act as a
laxative, this new Konjola contains
twenty-five juices extracted from
natural plants which invigorate the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
to more healthy action. The effects
OF Konjola on the whole inner
system brings amazing relief in
cases OF suffering that has been GO
ing on for years. At the same time.
many weak and rundown systems
have been restored to a new state
Of health thru the use of this COM
pound. Such a vast number of
men and women in this city have
told their experience with this new
medical product until now Konjola
has become tsSv lost highly in
dorsed medicine that is known in
this vicinity.

This estimate, made by authori-

yearly expenditure of from thirty
to fifty pounds sterling by each
player. There are 100000 golfers in
the British Isles.

Representative Henry Allen Coop

been member of the House since
1893, with the exception of one term
1919 to 1921. He was reelected to

Representative Thomas S. Butler,

that a Senate term is six years.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEyER ELDRED.

Life in a large family is often made
hdeous for the mother by the pro-
pensity OF the older children to tease
the younger ones. Every child has OK
perimented and experienced the KIND
of JOY which comes from batting
helpless person. 1t seems to he IN
hercnt in our makeup that we want
to stir things up. The placid, mind
his.own business child or adult is fair
game. for he inspires every bcholder
with the most ticndish desire To prod
him into animation. The. baby play

pen il he runs away With them. And
how many small boys fingers have
itChed to yank the unmuSaed hair of
the unconscious girl in the seat ahead
Of him.
The teaser wants to see his victim
rage and he enjoys the sense of mas
terry their futility gives him. Needless
to say, he ends his teasing when his
opponent can give as good as he gets.
This does not exactly solve the prob
lem for the mother. and it can't he
solved all in a moment IL she whips
tho tcaser. she simply revCrses posi-
tions and makes herself the mistress
by her strength. Her method may
Stcp the nome teasing, DNl II ScIuS
the whipped hoy out to another vic
tim whose mother isn't at hand to de-
f2nd him.
Help the younger child to under
stand that the teaser only pretendS to
want to hurt him or his property. In
difference or laughter is ones best
weapon. because it's no fun at all to
tease person who doesn't seem to
care.
Build up in the older child real
admiration for those heroes who pro-
tcct the weak. Don't let him see some
older, thou~htless person tickling a
small baby, or your work is we'll nigh
undone.
Separate the two children who can
not play together in peace. Put the
older child in q room where he can
see. but be no part of the family ac-
tivities. He'll soon learn to play in a
manner that makes for contentment
SO the mother has two tasks to per
form. She must prevent the younger
child from becoming n whining "tat-
tle-tale." always running to his mother
for aid and sympat thy, and teach him
how best to hold his own. She must
help the older one to a realiZa ton that
it is not admirable to take advantage
of an opponent who is too weak to
fight his own battles. She'll have to
take this lesson home to herself, or
she may point exactly the opposite
moral.

It is safe to say that any one who
lives in an old home where there is an
attic has had many occa casions to visit
it during the past year and look with
. new eyes on what, not so many years
ago, looked like the most hopeless
furniture imaginable because of its
style being out of date.
Lucky the ones who had such a
store place in which to put things.
Possibly they We're put there less as
treasures to be brought out at later
date than because the attic was con-
sidered but the first step toward the
dump heap or secondhand man--and
then somehow the task of getting
them further than the attic became
neglected
Among the many who discarded
such outdated furniture there may
have been an occasional one who.

that again might come the time when
they would be.
To entertain such feeling for the
household goods and to couple il with
some slight knowledge of inherent
svalues is to cooperate with Father
Time when he reverts the style in
their favor. Such pieces as are of

So Farmer Browns Boy looked

He saw the print of Reddy's body in

He saw the footprints leading back

closed his eyes and in his mind was a
picture of all that had happened.

AS adequate as the movies are, they
never will supplant the speaking mel
odrama in the hearts of our older
youth. The drummer didn't pound Il
drum to convey the impression of
gunfire. No customer of melodrama
would have stood for that hoax. What
he demanded and got was the real
article, a .45-caliber shooting iron,
belching smoke, flame and noise.
Don't some of you remember the
scene of a play whose name has long
since been forgotten, in which several
Spanish conspirators sat in a dark
tower of Moro Castle and, gazing
through a turreted aperture, watched
the battleship Maine riding at anchor
in the harbor? A tropical February
night. The mellow notes of Marine
trumpet off-stage sounding taps. Then

The Spanish-American War was
still fresh in the minds of the people,
and it wasn't surprising that the au-
dience Missed the archvillains. The
fact that the Spaniards spoke English
with a New York accent did not in
the least disturb the illusion.
After sustaining the suspense suf-
ficiently long to make nervous wrecks
out of the patrons, one of the
wretches pressed a button. A blind

the Maine could be discerned settling
below the waters. Oh, it was great
stuff.
