Ten Cents!
Keeping the System So Clean
There Are No Body Odors

A lot Of people who never have TO
take a laxative eat candy cascaret now
and then. Do you know why?
They have found that cascara sweet
ems the whole system-brings an I'M
maculacy of person that means every
thing. 1t prevents bodily chemistry
from ever making one unconsciously
offensive to others. And what a perfect
regulator Of the bowels,
Salts affect the lining of the bowels
Mineral oils leave a coating that the
blood must carry off through the pores.
How much better to cascarize the sys-
fem. and cause. the bowels to expei
everything by normal muscular CON
traction! To say nothing of the clean
or sweeter condition that lasts for days
a wholesome condition that makes the
use of deodorants quite unnecessary
in January or Jdly. Men and women
whose years have brought on sluggish
ness often find that a cascaret only
once a week is all the tonic they
needed.
Cascara is splendid for children, too,
and thew love the taste of this candy
laxative which every drug store has Tor

The mighty Smoke Man laughed
to see the TIMES, cheerful as could
be, a-hopping through the smoke
rings that he'd blown out through
the air. AS some rings faded out of
place, he'd whirl some others into
space, and then he made string of
smoke that looked just like stair.
You'd think that smoke would lei
them drop, but then again, if you'll
just stop to think how small the
TIMES are, it really isn't queer that
they should have their little fling,
and hop around from ring to ring.
In truth, it seemed that they knew
they had nothing much to fear.
The daytime went and nighttime
came and then they stopped their
little game. The Smoke Man said, "If
you are tired, I'll make a bed Of
he poked fun, but when the bed of
smoke was done, they all Topped
down and promptly found it wasn't
any joke.
The sky above was very blue, and
then, the first thing that they knew,
a lot of little sparkling stars began
to show their light. They'd pop out
here and pop out there. In fact they
broke forth everywhere. OF course
you know how stars shine through
on any real clear night.
The Smoke Man said. well, l
must go. When morning comes III
try to show you all a lot of other
tricks way up here in the air." And
then he disappeared from sight, as
all the TIMES said goodnight" And,
shortly something happened that

States. It is interesting to know that
Konjola is being sold in ten times
larger quantities than it was when
first introduced in this city about a
year ago. This is convincing proof
that the merit of this remarkable
new medicine is widely known over
the city. 1t has been giving per-
manent, lasting relief in thousands
Of cases of stomach, liver, kidney
and bowel disorders and rheumatic
and neuritis troubles.
One of the latest well-knoWn In
dianapolis citizens who indorse Kon-
iola is Mr.. ]. H. Langford, 1910 Eng
fish Ave, this city, who made the
following statement about this sur
prising medicine.
'Konjola- has put my stomach in
good condition for the first time in
a whole year" reads Mr.. Langtord's
statement, land l am also relieved
Of the Indigestion, and kidney trouble
that 1 had been suffering.
My trouble came after every meal
| ate. I never could enjoy food like
the average person, because I was
afraid to eat, and nothing tasted
right anyway. My food would form
a solid lump in the pit Of my
stomach, and this fermented gas
which nauseated me. My heart would
futter and seem TO jump, then I
would feel like I was burning UP
inside, and often had dizzy spells
and felt like [ was going to faint.
My kidneys gave me lot of trouble,
and every day the pains would
center in the small part of my back.
These would get so bad at times that
l nearly fell over. The muscles of
my arms were affected with rheu-
natism, and it would take several
hours every day before they would
be limbered up.
Yes, had a great many health
troubles, and took SO many remedies
that never had any idea I would
get well. I started on Konjola and
noticed wonderful relief the first
week. 1 continued a while longer,
and now can safely say 1 am feel
ing better than l have in years, and
my stomach and kidney trouble is
cleared up. I don't have the lumpy
feeling in my stomach, and don't
have the belching spells or any
trouble with my heart. Everything
I eat is doing me some good, and
my food never sours. The pains in
my back are relieved, and I don't
have the dizzy attacks like I used to.
Ny arms don't have the numb, achy
feeling in the mornings any more,
and I can do twice as much work
every day.
Il certainly can indorse Konjola
to everybody, because what has
helped me will help anyone who suf-
fers."
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Pennsylvania and Market
SITS, Indianapolis, where he Ia daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Konjola is sold by every
Hook drug store in this section, and
all druggists eyerywhere.--Adver-

DISAPPEARING
UNDER WATERS
Flood Waters Spread
ing Through Area
dian Country; Many
Cattle Drowned

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 23.--lAl
Flood waters which swept the low
lands between Lafayette and Breaux
bridge last night resulted IN no
known fatalities. but approximately
one thousand head Of cattle Were
drowned.
The flood was caused by five to
eight inches Of rain which. augment
ed By the torrent already pouring
into -Ec streams, sent the waters Of
the Nermillion river and Bayou
Trech out of their banks.
The Lafayette Breaux bridge high
way, l20 miles northwest Of New Or
leans, was covered with five TO ten
feet Of water by torrential rains.
Water on the highway between
Hammond and Baton Rouge was re-
ported three feet deep IN some sec
tions today on account Of the heavy
rain yesterday in that section. which
is 100 miles from New Orleans.
Between 100 and 200 persons IA
the bottom lands along the Nermil-
lion were believed trapped hy the
sudden rise of the stream and boats
were dispatched 70 their rescue.
The rise Of the streams came with
startling suddenness. Hundreds Of
persons. who had delayed abandon
ment Of their homes awaiting a near
er approach Of the flood waters roll
ing down the Atchafayla basin still
were in the district.
For the first time IN the history Of
st. Martinsville, the old town, rich
with the traditions Of the Arcadians,
was disappearing beneath the flood.
Water already was tapping about the
base Of the Evangeline oak and was
expected to enter the I60 year old
church.
The fight along the east bank
levee Of the upper Atchafayia still
was successful and the citizens were
hopeful Of saving the rich parishes
Of the sugar bowl" from the flood.
A raging current was tearing
fiercely at the soddcn walls of mud
protecting Pointe Coupee and the
other four parishes between the
Atchafayla and Mississippi rivers,
however. and desperate fight was
being maintained. This r1int was
about l20 miles northwest IL New
Orleans and on the west bank of ne
Mississippi.
