FLOOD CONTROL
PROJECT WAITS
/ COOLIDGE 0. K.
First Work Expected to
Begin Soon After Con-
greSS Meets.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer


WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Nearly
two years after the last great food
began to wreak its havoc in the
Mississippi valley, work on the ma
tons big flood control project will
actually begin.
The Army engineers expect that
by January or February they can
begin erecting the side leeves on the
Bonnet Care spillway above New
Orleans. This will be the first
major operation in the project. Two
things remain before it can be done.
First, President Coolidge must ap-
prove the report of the flood adj
visory board which Congress
directed to reconcile the plan of
the Army engineers with the ideas
OF the Mississippi River Commits
sion.
Contrary to a widespread impress
sion, Congress did not appropriate
$325,o00,000 for the flood control
project. It merely authorized the
appropriation of such sum and
the appropriation can be made by
Congress alone.
The Army engineers expect that
the President will have approved
the advisory boards report before
Congress meets in December and

get from the whole United States
They all say it is the most effective
compound they have ever tried.
OF the many indianapolis citizens
who have Endorsed KOnjola, there
is probably no one better known
throughout this whole section than
Mr.. H. H. Thompson, popular
vaudeville comedian generally
known as the Komedy King
comedian. Mr.. Thompson is a
resident of Indianapolis and his
home is at 720 Lincoln ST., this city.
His statements telling Uf the bene-
fits he derived from this celebrated
compound reads as follows:
"a medicine that will do what
Konjola did for me surely deserves
public praise and am glad to tell
of my experience with tilis remark
able medicine" reads Mr.. Thomp-
sons statement.
During the 1928 season
suffered nervous collapse, which
the doctor told me was caused from
an liberated stomach and gastritis.
At first I thought I would be
compelled to cancel all my engage
mentS for the season, but thanks to
Konjola, was only away from the
stage for three weeks. My stomach
was in such a disordered condition
that my breakfast would never
digest and as a result l would have
to vomit nearly every morning be-
fore I could get from the restaurant
to the hotel. This would always
happen on an empty stomach. My
other meals would remain IN my
stomach, but cause me a lot of
misery from indigestion and gas
bloating. I was feeling half-sick
most of the time and could not put
the right kind of pep and en-
thusiasm in my work.
"I had been doctoring for several
months and finally got to feeling so
bad that I was forced to stay in
bed and ! thought I would have to
give up my work for the balance of
the season. Then I started to take
Konjola and the relief this medicine
gave me was really surprising. Be-
fore the first bottle was gone, was
able to eat any time wanted and
everything stayed on my stomach
And I could eat a full meal without
fear of suffering from indigestion
pain and gas bloating afterward
Within three weeks time was
strong enough to return to my work
and all signs of nervousness had
disappeared. My health in general
is now better than it has been for
several years. have new life
energy and plenty of pep, which
makes my work all the more pleas
ant.
"Koniola certainly ended my
stomach trouble and built me up
better than any medicine I had
tried before. 1 strongly indorse it
to anyone suffering the miseries of
an upset stomach"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
SITS. Indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public md introducing
and explaining the merits OF this
remedy. Konjola is sold by every
Hook drug store in this city and by
all druggists throughout this Sec
tion.-Advertisement.

that Congress will lose little time
in appropriating money with which
they may begin the job.
Subsequently Congress will take
up the question of work on the trib-
utaries. The flood control act passed
at the last session covers only the

The Army engineers obtained a
total appropriation of $24,OO00OO for
immediate work on the Mississippi
and are expanding it on measures
regarded as immediately necessary
and not on the main project.

while the total cost is a matter of
argument, as it can not be accu-
rately determined until the job is

will have to be paid for flowage

tors.
