at Hooks Drug Store, Illinois ana
Washington Sts., where large
crowds continue to visit him daily.
These crowds are mostly men and
women, who are suffering from
stomach, liver, kidney and bowel
troubles, and rheumatism or
neuritiS.
Among the thousands already
benefited by Konjola, none is better
known than Mr.. and Mrs. L. N.
Baxter, 1928 Valley Ave-, Indian
apolis. Mr.. Baxter's statement reads
as follows:
IT am a man of 78, and I have
suffered with rheumatism for years.
Sometimes I was laid up entirely,
and when I did walk I had to use
a cane. My joints were stiff and
achy and the pains were terrible.
My stomach also gave me lot of
trouble, and suffered with head
aches. This Konjola not only ended
my stomach trouble and the head
aches, but it cleared all the poiSons
from my system and now am en-
tirely free of all the aches and
pains of rheumatism. I can walk
without a cane. hardly know
what to make of it. This medicine
has helped me in many other ways.
I don't have dizzy spells like 1 used
to and sleep good. will be glad
to tell anyone about your new
remedy"
The statement Of Mrs. Baxter
reads as follows:
"Konjola is the first medicine
that really ended my stomach and
kidney trouble. 1 was suffering
from the worst kind of indigestion
pains. Every bite of food would
hurt me- My kidneys were SO weak
that I had to get up and times a
night. had pains in my back and
was dreadfully nervous at all
times. That was my condition, but
now I am feeling like I never had a
sick day in my life, and owe it all
to Konjola. My food agrees with
me, and my nerves are stronger and
1 never have any trouble with my
kidneys. The night rising is ended,
and don't have back-aches like I
used to. I think it is wonderful to
find such a medicine as Konjola,
and want to indorse it,"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois & Washington
Sts., indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the, public and introducing
and explaining the merits Of this
remedy. Konjola is sold by every

SENATE PROBE
Committee Will Recount in

B1 United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Two
Senate committees were preparing
today for renewal of their invests
cations into the Smith-Var cleo
ton cases.
Chairman Shortridge Of the
Privileges and Elections Committee
was making arrangements with
David Barry, ergeant-at-arms of
the Senate, to collect ballots cast in
the Pennsylvania senatorial election
won by William S. Ware
Senate Has Ballots
Meanwhile Chairman Reed, Demo-
crat, Missouri, Of the special COM
mittee, is making ready for hearings
on the Illinois election in which
Frank Smith was the successful
candidate. They are to start
Jan. 7.
Shortridge plans to start a re-
count of the Pennsylvania ballots
if the committee succeeds in having
them collected. Some Of the ballots
are already in possession of the
Senate, but most of them must be
collected from election officials.
Ware filed an answer last week
to the contest brought by William
B. Wilson, his unsuccessful OPP
ponent in the election. He had
previously demanded q recount of
all the ballots.
No Recount for Smith
The task of collecting and count
ing the ballots will require several
weeks. They are scattered over
fifty-SiX places in Pennsylvania.
Shortridge said the count would
probably be conducted by Repre-
sentatives Of the two Senate COM
mittees and the two contestants.
No recount will be necessary in
the Smith case since his opponent
cid not contest the election. The
Reed committee will merely take
additional testimony and then pro-
coed to the Ware case, reporting to
the Senate on both.
BY agreement between the two
committees, testimony taken by one
will be available to the other. This,
it is hoped, will avoid duplication
of effort.

The weather was expected to per-
nit resumption Of diving opera
tons at the scene Of the submarine

An increasing wind and rising
sea forced a suspension of the

Although there was a rather
heavy swell this morning, there was
only a light northwest breeze and
it was believed more of the work

Mind Sharps in Convention
to Decide Why Tabby
Comes Back.
BY JACK POWER
United Press stan Correspondent

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 29.-Some
800 mental Observation-Disclosures
vivisectionists, who specialize in the
geness. powers, and functions of the
human mind-gathered at Ohio
State University today for the thir-
ty-Sixth annual meeting of the
American Psychological Association.
Every phase of psychology, our
feelings, reactions, emotions and
why. in short, we do what we do,
were discussed by the psychologists
who exchanged ideas in a SYM
postum. Nor were the discussions
taken up by the idiosyncrasies of
the human mind. Animal instincts
and the why of them we're laid bare.
To the psychologist, SO said those
here, there is not a little of truth
in the statement that gentlemen
prefer blondes-while intuition eX-
lists no stronger in the female than
in the male.
Why Cat Comes Back
They will explain, too, they said,
that the instinct that causes the
cat to come back is merely due to
a good sense of direction.
AS for the murderer returning to
the scene of his crime, those mod
ern metaphysicians contend there
is some psychology to the as
sertion-"a murderer invariably will
return to the spot of his wrong
doing"
Thought of the crime" said Prof
H. E. Burt of Ohio State University
host to the visiting psychologists
continually will prey on the mind
Of the criminal and eventually lead
him back to the place where it was
committed. 1t is merely the mental
reaction to the physical action that
brings him back"
Not TVague OpinionS
In the opinion of Prof. Edward
S. Robinson, New Haven, Conn, the
belief that psychology is merely "a
matter Of vague opinion is erron-
eouS.
Experimental tests have borne
out, he said, that practical psych-
ology, as we'll as psychology from
the theoretical standpoint is one
of the useful sciences of the world
today.
Psychology, in all its forms, is to
be taken up during the three-day
discussions. Today was given over
to general and experimental psych-
ology.
Tomorrow, discussions will be held
on clinical, social, abnormal and
educational psychology and mental
measurement.
