IS SEEN
BY RICHARD HATTON

Figures recently made available
show that the United States. during
the half year which ended on June
80. gained. as result of imports
amounting to over $3.50. 200, 900, and
exports amounting to nearly $780,
600, goo, $131, SOC. 900 in gold.
The consolidated statement of
condition of the Feder.1 Reserve
Board. shows decreases for the week
Of $22, 100000 in bills and securities,
$4,000, 900 in Federal Reserve note
circulation, and $14, 400 900 in mem
her bank reserve deposits. Declines
of $22,900.0 IN holdings of dis
counted bills and of $500, 900 in
acceptances purchased in the open
market were partly offset by an
increase of $S,000,000 in Govern
ment security holdings.
While it is .evfSSat that wholesale
trade is below the level of last year
the Brookmire Economic Service
finds that there is every reason to
expect a considerable Improvement
in the fall. Sustained and Increased
earning power in certain lines
especially among the larger COM
panies, is anticipated.
Summing up the general situation
at the end of the third week in
July, Henry Clews and Company
find conditions encouraging, stating
that the general run of financial
news during the past week has
served to lend further support to
the conclusion already generally
reached that by and large business
in this country, while "spotty," is
doing quite as well as could be
expected.
It is clearer now than it was
even a week ago that the current
situation is one characterized by
prosperity, large earnings on the
part of well organized and highly
efficient enterprises and less salts
factory results on the part of the
poorer companies.

If the Hindus had remained unan-

Strangely enough, it was in the
sixth century, when Confucius was
inventing wisdom in China, and
Thales was fathering philosophy in
Greece, that the Hindus experienced
a great awakening of spiritual life,

It was amid this vivid conflict of
asceticism and free thought that

are calling throughout each day to
hear his personal explanation of this

was subject to rising six and eight
times night. My back was very
painful at all times. I was losing
sleep at night and became dread
fully rundown. Then I developed
neuritis pains over my body, and
suffered the worst miSeries I believe
any one could endure. My general
health was certainly in a bad condi-
ton.
Nothing would help me, and
when decided to give Konjola a
trial I didn't have the least faith in
this medicine. expected it TO turn
out like everything else, but 1t was
entirely different. The first bottle
brought good results, and I con-
tinued with two more. Now ] don't
have a single neuritis pain in my
body, and haven't had for several
weeks. My back is never sore and
achy like it used to be, and I can
sleep perfectly from the time ] go to
bed until I get up the next morning.
The trouble of night rising is thing
of the past. Konjola has also helped
me in great many other ways. I
have a good appetite and can eat
anything I want. This is something
I couldn't do before. I feel better in
the mornings instead of being wax
and full of aches and pains like
used to.
eyes, Konjola certainly was a sur
prise to me, and want to say once
more that have tremendous faith
in this medicine because I know
what it will do"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
Sts, indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the local public and intro
dusing and explaining the merits Oh
this remedy. Konjola is being sold
by every Hook drug store in this city,
