Changing Machinery.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Henry
Ford spent $17,50O,OO0 in overhaul
ing machinery to produce his new
car, says the American Machinist
in an article by F.. L. Faurote.
Faurote estimates that expendi-
lures for overhauling machinery for
production of the new car amounted
to $45OO,OOO and that new tools,
dies and fixtures cost $13,0000 900.
Those figures provide for rebuild
ing SO per cent of the Ford ma
chine tools and new equipment, but
do not take into consideration the
less incurred through shutdown of
factories pending production of the
new model.
The public was given an insight
into the Ford balance sheet when
it was presented to the Ma5sachu-
setts commissioner Of corporations
1t was revealed that the profit and
less surplus showed a decrease of
s42, ,786, ,727 on Dec. 81. 1927, as COM

well-known Indianapolis citizen, liv-l

this city, during a recent conversa-
ton with The Konjola Man, who
is at Hooks Drug Store, Illinois
and Washington Sts., where crowds
are calling daily to learn more about
this amazing new medical prepara-
ton.
"Yes, my rheumatic aches ana
pains have vanished" said Mr.. Car
ver "and I had no idea that such
a short treatment of any medicine
would SO completely relieve my
trouble.
"I had been affected mostly across
my back and through my hips.
When I would go to move a certain
way, either when walking or turn
ing sideways in bed, would get
sharp, terrific pain that seemed to
come suddenly like a shock, and it
certainly was miserable. OF course,
I ached continually, but when these
sharp pains would grab me felt
like I just couldn't stand the SUI
fering another minute. If I at
tempted to rise from sitting po-
sition, I had to hold to something
and be careful not to twist a GER
tain way. At nights I was subject
to these attacks, which broke up
my rest so that I could seldom get
a nights sleep. I would wake every
morning feeling SO terrible that IL
was misery to even dress myself.
couldn't even fire the furnace-and
I tell you this rheumatism is awful.
81 began on this Konjola as soon
as learned what it was doing for
so many Indianapolis people, ana
as I said, it relieved me very quick.
I get up in the mornings and dress
without a bit of pain now, and 7
sleep fine all night long and con
bend and twist any way I care to.
The pains in my back, hips ara
limbs are all relieved, and its a
blessing now that I have no fear
of those awful attacks of pain ana
suffering as I experienced before.
I've been helped in many Other
ways by Konjola, and my whole
body has new feeling of health
all over. I can put in good days
work now, and feel like doing lots
of lifting and other things that re-
quire strength.
"After all this relief from rheu-
matism, I surely take pleasure in
making a public Endorsement of
Konjola."

WH|RL WIND FINISH
 IS SMITHS PLAN
Also Intends to Talk Extem. poraneously

Albany. N. r.. Sept. LP-Sep- tember rolled around today and found Governor Smith still figuring out the details of the first tour he will make in the race for the presi- dency.
 Less than ten weeks remain be- fore election day in November yet the democratic presidential nominee was peacefully sequestered in the big brick residence on Eagle street which he has called home for nearly eight years while guiding the des- tinies of New York state-putting the finishing touches on his initial itinerary.
 Unlike campaigners of long ago. who at this stage of preAdential year had covered much ground and made as high as six or eight speeches on prevailing issues. the New York governor is one of those who believes in . slow start and . whirlwind finish. Until he is ready to announce his speech making plans he will be as much resting as his state duties will permit. His recrea- ton will consist of his favorite pastime-golf--and possibly a few plunges in the private pool on the nearby country estate of Lieutenant Governor Edwin Corning.
 One thing was certain today in connection with the nature of the campaign Governor Smith will make. He has decided to revert to his time honored custom Of delivering only extemporaneous speeches in the be- lief that this type is more effective than the prepared address.
 In all his gubernatorial campaigns. the governor never made a speech where he had to read from text. Since becoming the democratic standard bearer he has prepared in advance but one and that was his ac- ceptance speech. His decision to adopt his old method of stumping means that he will be free to elab- crate on some particular issue or embrace entirely new ones, whereas under the prepared address system he would be at a disadvantage if he desired to stray from text. as often is the case in a fast developing campaign.
 The democratic nominee will spend the Labor Day weekend in Albany. He had no press conference on his engagement list today, nor any other callers on campaign busi- ness. William F. Kenny. an old crony. was expected in from New York for a little golf. and if any thing else happens over the week. end which he thinks would be of in-- terest, the governor promised to vol unteer the information.

He is interesting, curi- ously vital, dramatic and alive.
