to find out for themselves about
this surprising new medicine.
MY trouble was stomach,
catarrh. and troubles that follow. I
couldn't eat meat Of any kind and
had to live on milk, graham crack

diet I would have terrible gas pains
and would bloat continually. was
also very nervous. Also had neuritiS

pounds, sleep fine, eat most any

fine and work every day. Before
taking Konjola 1 could not work
regularly for two years. 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
contain only z 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 60
ing on for years. At the same time,
many weak and rundown systems
have been restored to 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 the most highly in
dorsed medicine that is known in
this vicinity.

BIZ United Press
DENVER, Dec. 2.-If there are
any prospective purchasers Of guar
anteed black bears in the United
States, the keeper of the Denver
zoo would like to hear from them.
And when he does, the keeper, Eli
Gross, will crate one guaranteed
bear and ship it post-haste to the
purchaser, continuing the process in
rotation until his surplus Of guaran-

A guaranteed black bear. it might
be mentioned, is a special kind of

human hands.
Gross has twenty-five bears and

TIE LARGE FAMILY

Because d resident of kensington was arrested for the second time on a charge of being under the influ- cnce Of liquor while operating an automobile, and convicted each time, he is destined to spend six months in jail.
 Meanwhile his family, including seven children. will probably suffer. They are suffering the punishment as much. if not more, than the father.
 The moral is as plain as a sign board: The man who cannot leave liquor alone should have sense enough not to drive an automobile. The quicker such persons learns of the severity of the law against drunken drivers the better and saf- CT it will be for society generally.
 Heads of families need to take in consideration that the law does not make it easier for such to avoid punishment; the law specifies the sentence to be given and there is no double standard for the married or single. If married man wishes to have his family considered by the law the time 10 do so is before he makes a fool of himself; afterwards it may be too late.

ECONOMY IN ANSONIA

There appears 10 be no fear of special referendums in Ansonia When the question agitating the public mind was whether the city should issue bonds and construct a new high school the matter was placed before the voters. who de feated the plan by 112 votes.
 Here is an instance Of the inner ent economy of the public mind. Politicians usually talk much about the need of economy, but when it is question of spending public funds or issuing bonds they usually much prefer to spend the money without directly consulting the public.
 Perhaps Ansonia really needed the new high school 10 be up-to- date, and thus the citizens of the city made a mistake. But be that as it may when it is a question of practicing economy as well as preaching it, the average taxpayer will talk loudly if given chance.

RU SSIi AND THF, LEAGUE

The bear of Europe has been a hugbcar ever since the war. Russia's refusal for four years to identify herself with the League of Nations conferences has had more important effects on the continent than the holding aloof by the United States. Russia is part of the continent, and her large military establishment has caused others 10 look with some de- gree of disfavor upon the numerous schemes to reduce land armaments.
 The decision Of the soyiets to par 'iclpate in the work of the prepara- tory commission for disarmament means that more IS likely to be at

automobile motor. In a closed car the noise of train Is even less likely to be heard. An autoist who depsnds under such circumstances upon hls ears alone most certainly is taking an enormous risk.
 The road rule that has been sane toned by the hissNst court in the land is that an autolst should at least stop and look as well as listen before crossing an isolated and un- guarded railroad crossing. If S doesn't do so, and an accident re- suits, he or his estate will have con- siderably more difficulty in collect ing damages from the railroad com pany than was the case prior to the enunciation of this decision. That is something worth bearing in mind.

GUIDING AUTOISTS WHEN CROSSING TRACKS

It is not often that the Supreme Cout of the United States lays down rules of conduct for autoists when they approach railroad grade crossing. The rule laid down yester- day in the case of an appeal by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad against the judgment of lower court will have far-reaching effects in the disposal Of damage suits. The court evidently realized the extent of the precedent it was establishing when 1t wrote that the decision should be for the guidance Of all courts "once and for all.'
 Shorn of it's verhtage. the courts 9 driver to be sure no train Is ar- proa ching before he crosses or at tempts to cross the railroad tracks. This appears Fundamental, but in the case which came to the a.ten- ton of the court it was held that the railroad was at fault for permitting the driver to cross the track with ont some special warning. Had the railroad lost its appeal it would have meant, in effect, that the railroads would have been forced to guard every crossing along their lines--a manifest impossibility from the standpoint of costs.
 Obviously, the court held, in most cases an autoist will need to do no more, when approaching d crossing, than to stop and look. Tt seems to us" the opinion stated. that if he relies only upon not hearing the train or seeing any sig nal and takes no further precauton, he does so at his own risk"
 An approaching railroad train usually makes considerable noise, but this racket Is frequently drown ed out by the nearer noise of tn

CANCER CURE NEAR,
 DOCTOR BELIEVES
Ancient Egyptians First to Sek
 Relief From Disease

Chicago, Nov. 1 R)-Dr. Francs | Carter Wood, director of the Insti
 tute of Cancer Research, Columbi,
 university. believes medical science
 at last is on the right track of its | fight against cancer.
 1 In an address at the annual meet | ing of the American College of | Physitheraty held in connection with the dedication program of the Uni versity of Chicago's new medical laboratories.
 | Dr. Wood said that while several serums have been used in the treat
 ment of cancer, and that while none had proved a success, they have in- dicated that science is getting clos
 CT to successful treatment Of ths disease.
 Cancer Is not spreading, despite q general opinion that it is, he said. explaining that science has made such strides in the conquest of oth- CT diseases that the apparent non- progress against cancer makes it stand out unfavorably in compari- son.
 Dr. Wood pointed out that search for the cause and a cure of cancer has occupied the thoughts of many generations from the time of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks to the present day.
 Another speaker, Dr. George A. Weymouth, of New York, said that the cancer sufferers chief hope lay in surgery because radium was too uncertain.
 Describing the stubborn resist ance of the disease to medical ef- forts, Dr. Weymouth said ''sixty-one per cent of the cases of cancer Q5 the tongue are inoperable. For growth too extensive for surgery, diathermy deep, penetrating cleo trical heat, offers the best prospect. In this method the eIdotherm or so-called radio knife is used"

THE MAIN STREET CROSSING

No crossing in the city is more frequently harangued against than the railroad crossing on Main street. The combination of railroad tracks, trolley tracks and highway make it difficult to keep 1t in order. Something is always out of kilter at the spot, and autoists get the full benefit of the situation by suffering severe jolts while passing over.
 The Connecticut company, which has just replied to Q letter by the mayor which prayed for some early repairs, has replied that 1t is willing to see that the crossing, so far as the trolley tracks are concerned and the paving contiguous thereto, are kept in apple pie ordsr-but there will be nothing doing this year. Perhaps next spring there may be repairs made-that IS the impression one gets from the letter.
 The trolley company alludes to the fact that it has been forced to spend the grand sum of S25, 900 on Chestnut street, which was entirely due to the city's paving program there. Evidently that is enough ex- penditure in the city during one season. Considering that the trolley business has degeneratcd into being profitable only three months of the year, that s25,OOo outlay makes q noise like million dollars used to do.
 Let the Main street crossings go throughout the winter without re- pairs, and when the thaws of next spring arrive many spring is like iy to be broken. The may should keep right at it and exact promise from the trolley company to get right 10 work next spring and set things to rights. Said repairs, like their forerunners, may not last long, but they must be made good before things get too bad. The company says it is keeping it's paving in a good state of repair, or has been do- ing so; the railroad perhaps is ready to say the same; and the city's board of works likewise can swear it has been trying to make things even at the crossing.

SOUND TAX REDUCTION FAVORED BY MELLON

Everybody agrees as to the advis- ability of tax reduction, the only question regarding which there is a dispute being how much to re- duce. Certain individuals in Con1 vocates of a huge tax reduction, want to cut $500, 0,00O,0O0, or even more, from the annual bill, basing their advocacy upon the claim that 1t is not necessary for the federal government to be so much con cerned about reducing the national debt
 We don't see eye 10 eye with Sec retary Mellon on everything this financier promulgates, but his con- ception of safe and sane tax re- ductlon appears 10 us eminently the proper method. His opinion is that the tax slash should not be more than $250,000, ,000--and even this is more than was thought probable a short time ago. The secrotary's view is that il is essential, in view of the necessity of continuing the fu- ture prosperity of the nation as well as the present prosperity, to reduce the national debt as rapidly as pos 3i'le: that a reduction of this debt IS just as much of an achievement as tax reduction itself.
 There is also this 10 consider, that 1t IS easier to reduce the debt now. when money Is plentiful, than dur ing later years, when it may not be so plentiful. In other words. it is easier to reduce the debt with 6O cent dollars than with 100 cent dol lars. A national debt of 19 billions of dollars does not look as large right now as it will look later when money is worth more. The best time for d nation to reduce it's debt, as III the case of an individual. is when money is plentiful and cheap.
 This is q point that the advocates o! huge tax slash entirely over look, or do not regard as important, They prefer to let future generations Wrcstle with the national debt; and also are unmindful of the fact that the heavier the debt that hangs upon d nation the weaker if is in some other important respects, What we know of preparedness" also includes financial preparedness, and the nation with huge national debt hanging over ifs head is in that much less condition 10 he prepared for all emergencies.
 The interest on the rational debt forms a serious part of government 2' outgo. The lower the debt the less interest there is 10 pay. Nineteen billions of dollars of national doht 'n some p years, means just twice that much at compound interest.
 The ,Aellon tax plan seems safer lin the l:ng run." than q huge fax slash now and an elongated debt iater.
