The Houston and Harmony ad-
Nocates awoke to this realization
with q shock today as they perused
the militant speech of the former
Treasury head in Richmond last
night-a speech in which he men
toned Governor Smith by name and
declared that the things Smith
stands for must be fought to q

Most Democrats in Washington
interpreted McAdoo's speech az a
raIlying call to the anti-Smith eIe-
n1erfs of the party. 1t came az a
surprise to most of the leaders, for,
since McAdoo's pacific speech at
the Jackson Day dinner, they had
been led TO believe that he would
not seek TO rekindle the embers of
Madison Square Garden.

DR.. L. IT. Horton Boston psyche

the girl is not suicide. prepared
his report to her father, st. John

Although the girl thought by

medicine. Konjola, which is now
being introduced and explained to
large crowds of people by the Kon-
jola Man in person at Hooks drug
store, Illinois and Washington
streets, Indianapolis.
For the past few years my health
seemed to be getting worse all the
time," said Mr.. Finley. "The con-
dition of my stomach was so bad
that bloating spells and indigestion
pains came over me just as regular
as ate. I had no desire for food
and what little I managed to eat
always brought on iniSeries Of the
worst kind. 1t seemed like tight
rope was drawn around my waist.
The pains felt like sharp knives
gouged into my sides and back.
81 decided to try Konjola and at
the very start this medicine made
me rest a great deal better at
nights, and I noticed that I had
real desire for food and everything
tasted right. In very little while
the indigestion pains were entirely
gone and all the other miseries dis
appeared. Now I don't have pains
Of any kind, and I can enjoy a full
size meal without hardly knowing
I ate thing. I feel better in every
way than I have in several years.
don't think there is another medi-
cine in the world that could make
such a change in a person like Kon-
jola, and since I have taken this
new remedy it seems only right to
indorse it to everyone"
Konjola is not a cure all, not
pill or capsule, but a remarkable
liquid compound, which contains
the juices extracted from twenty
two Of Natures finest medicinal
roots and herbs. These cleanse and
ivigorate the inner organs (stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels) to
more normal healthy action, thus
bringing new feelings of health over
the system in general in a natural
and safe way.
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
streets, Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and in
Producing and explaining the merits
Of this remedy. Konjola Is sold at
all Hook stores in this city and by

just as she does every characterize
ton that she does on the stage.
Here is one woman who never
leaves her character, regardless OF
the fact that she is acting on the
stage or just being herself over a
salad, spreading the table linen,
pouring the water or placing sweet
peas in a vase that fits the
flowers.
There is beauty in the life of
Bernice Marsolais, both on the stage
and even in the kitchen. She is
human. She is great and growing
in power on the stage and when 1t
comes to making a salad, talking
the language of perfection, she is
there.
And so 7 have given you Bernice
Marsolais of the Berkell Players as
she does exist in her own life with
her husband and friends.
And she will probably "kill' me
for this because she never realized
that she was being interviewed.
Remember you asked it-and that is
enough.
Indianapolis theaters today offer:
Libby Dancers at the Lyric; "Mary's
Other Husband" at Englishs,
"Tenderloin" at the Apollo; Laugh,
Clown, Laugh" at Loew's Palace;
Love and Learn" at the Circle;
'"The Smart Set" at the Indiana;
speedy" at the Ohio; burlesque at
the Mutual and ''Pitfall of Passion
at the Colonial.
The Indianapolis times., 1928-05-03

You have asked me to get certain
people of the stage just as they are
a1d your desire is an order. And SO
1 am bringing Bernice Marsolais, in
private life Mrs. William Hull, (Bill
being the technical and stage direc-
tor of the Berkell Players at Eng
lsh's), to you just as she is i'll
private life.
''B," as she is called by her hus-
band and members of the company,
has that honesty Of life which does
not prevent her from putting on ali
apron, going into the kitchen and
tantalizing a dinner into perfection
before the night performance.
Oh, yes, they dine out many times.
The Hulls go here and they go
there when "B" gets on her apron
and starts to work on a salad,
am telling you that here you have a
performance that does not come far
back of her performance on the
stage.
I am glad to take you back into
the kitchen while Bernice is MAX
ing a salad or an entire dinner.
People of the stage must "eat" ana
they must be human. Take one of
those highbroWs that you read
sometimes and I pity them.
Sarah Bernhardt once told me
through her secretary that being
honestly human and oneself off the
stage was the real test of greatness
on the stage"
I have seen Miss Marsolais do
both the big and the little things in
show and the mountain" has had
the same consideration as the
''hill."
And when you see her in a
kitchen (and that is the right world
you realize more than ever that
women of the stage are human,
just like all the rest of us.
She does not use gloves to peel a
tomato nor does she find fault when
the steak begins to talk its own
language. The butter may sputter
and it may jump, but, Miss
MarSolais stays right near the stove
