ach, liver, kidney and bowel trou-
bles were banished before the suf-
ferer hardly knew what was taking
place. The relief has not been
merely temporary, giving false
impression of security. Months and
years may pass without the Slight
est recurrence of a single symp-
tom. The wonders that this medi-
cine works is graphically described
i'll a statement received from Mar
tinsville, Ind. a town located 25
miles southwest of Indianapolis. The
testifyer is Mrs. w. B. Williams, who
personally wrote the Konjola Man
at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois
and Washington streets, this city,
about her remarkable restoration
to health:
"For seven long years I was forced
to endure the ravages of rheuma-
tism and kidney troubles, and until
Konjola was brought into my life
never knew a minutes relief"
writes the now happy and healthy
Mrs. Williams. "How I suffered can
never be put into writing. Pains
day and night, like hot needles, ran
through my body. 1t was as if
plague had struck me. My ankles,
knees, arms and feet were affected.
Walking or housework was extreme
agony. When I needed sleep to
combat the troubles of the follow
ing day, there was none for me.
Frequent bladder action forced me
to rise at all hours of the night.
My back was sore and achy. Head
aches were common occurrence
and felt as if a trip-hammer were
beating my head. With the pass
ing of each day grew worse, stead
lily and surely. Hope had been
abandoned. The future was dark
and filled with dread of life of
misery and suffering. There seemed
to be no end to my quest for relief.
when Konjola was recommend
ed 1 scoffed at the idea of a single
medicine relieving me. Days passed
and I had forgotten about such a
medicine. When my case became
almost unbearable the name of this
medicine was again brought before
me. Then I decided to take this
one last chance. If only it would
give me an hours relief. That alone
would be a blessing. What a sur
prise awaited me. You will never
understand my feeling when the
first bottle showed a marked i'm
provement. I didn't know what was
happening. I thought a miracle was
taking place. I knew it could not
be that continued the Konjola
treatment and today I am a well
woman. For the first time in seven
years am living a life of happi-
ness, freed from the clutches of
rheumatism and kidney trouble.
There isn't an ache, pain, or a sign
of stiffness or soreness throughout
my body. All can feel is warm
glow Of health. What a relief it is
what a Godsend Konjola was. /

young and old, rich and poor. 1t is

PARIS, Aug. 3.-Civilization has

an eminent French physician, DR..

effort to find the source Of the
malady which is costing thousands

which are able to combat success

DR.. Lowenthal, in an article in
the Revue Mondiale, ascribes the
disease to either toxic influences or
emotional changes.
The first. he says, may include
anything from sitting too long at
Well-laden table to an excessive use
of tobacco, alcoholic drinks and
even coffee.
The second source is even wider
IN its scope. A man with too noble
ambitions may become so excited
that cancerous LESSONS form in his

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Bootleg-
gers are becoming afraid to make
large investments in stills. Instead
they are relying on larger numbers
OF smaller plants.
This trend is indicated in reports
to Prohibition Commissioner James
NJ. Doran. In Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and North Carolina, prohi-
bition agents during the fiscal year
ended July 1, seized more than twice
as many stills as they did in 1927,
but only little more than two
thirds as much liquor.
According to Doran, liquor law
violators are becoming more eau
tious and are afraid to have large
investments in manufacturing ap-
paratus lost through capture by pro-

A HOPE AND A PRAYER

Here's wishing splendid success to Mr.. a. H.
Woods, the Shuberts and ". A. Brady in their plans
to the talking motion picture to broadcast (f that
is the proper eXpresson) their musical comedies to all
parts of the country.
By controlling the vocafm in process which
reproduces the original cast of play including voice.
color music and gaety, they plan show their plays
in any small theater in the country while the original
cast remains Broadway. The theater be fitted
to reproduce the play at cost of $4,000.
1t has been a cause of genuine regret among many
residents Of small communities that they seldom, if
ever see musical play unless they make trip to
neighborng large city, often at great inconven-
ience to themselves. The radio and the graphophone
have done much to bring the popular whstleabe
of light operas and musical comedies but there is moth
ing quite like seeing and hearing the play in the orig
nal. The drabbes thing in life is to the screen

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
FUNNY FACES

Not far from Uncle Wiggily ;
hollow stump bungalow there grew,
near clump of grass, bunch of
pansy flowers. The rabbit gentle
man loved all blossoms, but he was
especially fond of pansies, for he
often said to Nurse Jane and his
wife:
"Pansies seem 70 have such jolly
faces in their blossoms.
No doubt you have seen these
faces yourselves, and have often
wondered about them.
So the pansy face flowers grew
near Uncle Wiggily's bungalow and
when there was no rain the rabbit
gentleman sprinkled them with wa
ter. And when the grass grew too
close, or the weeds grew too high,
Mr.. Longears would clear them a
way so the sunlight and wind could
help to make the pansies grow big
ger and better
Thus it was that the rabbit 5
pansies were the best for miles "a
round and often, after supper, Tn
Gle Wiggily would sit, in the cool of
the evening, near his bunch of pan
sizes and look at them.
''You have faces" the rabbit
gentleman would say, but YOU
never talk to me. Why is that -
The truth was the panSics Were
too tashful to talk except among
| themselves. They spoke the Ian
guagc of flowers and, if they wish,
ed, they might have talked to Uncle
Wiggily. But they chose to keep
