confided that she thought Wash.

has ever visited.
Everybody seems so alive, she

Its the climate" said the in.

lady's a Californian.
This climate is good deal like
California" conceded Mr.. Darling,
magnanimously. But let's talk
about my daughter"
His daughter has made huge
success OF column. editing in the
West. She has written a Henri
eta" song and has designed Hen
rietta" doll for college girls. They're
both hits. She was the first artist
to use the Brunswick's new micro
phonic recording device west Of the
Mississippi for a record Of her
Henrietta" song.
What do you think of Washing
ton girls?' she was asked.
II think they are distinctive, !"
Miss Darling replied. "AIl that I
have seen seem to have quality
of dash and individuality that /
missed in New York and some other
cities. I'm sorry can't stay in
Washington longer, but we're leav-
ing for the West tonight. I'm to
visit some movie people in Los
Angeles to arrange for the sale OF
the movie rights to Henrietta"
There's something's ethereal about
a blonde" she asserts in her Hen
rietta" column. "A blonde touches
the idealistic chord in a mans
heart, bringing a response from
him that less fortunate women
cannot do.
IF she doesn't happen to touch
the idealistic chord, there's always
the elastic cord on his wallet"
They call her the woman Francis
Bacon, this pretty young blonde
philosopher. But Francis Bacon
never had such ideas.

able new medicine, Konjola, which
is now being introduced and ex-
planned to large crowds of people by
The Konjola Man in person at the
Hook Drug Store Illinois and Wash
iugton SITS, Indianapolis.
For the past few years my health
seemed to be getting worse all the
time" continued Mr.. Finley. 1.-THE
condition of my stomach was so bad
that bloating spells and indigestion
pains came over me just as regular
as I ate. I had no desire for food,
and what little I managed to eat
always brought on miseries of the
worst kind. 1t seemed like a heavy
weight centered in the pit of my
stomach, and then feeling like a
tight rope was drawn around my
waist. The pains felt like sharp
knives gouged into my sides ana
back.
II decided to try Konjola and at
the very start this medicine made
me rest a great deal better at
nights, and I noticed I had real
desire for food and everything tasted
right. In a very little while the
indigestion pains were entirely gone
and all the other miseries disap-
peared. Now don't have pains of
any kind, and I can enjoy full
size meal without hardly knowing I
ate anything. feel better in every
way than have in several years. I
don't think there is another medi-
cine in the world that could make
such change in person like Kon-
jola, and since I have taken this
new remedy, it seems only right to
indorse it to every one"
Konjola is not cure-all, not
pill or capsule, but remarkable
liquid compound which contains
juices extracted from twenty-five of
Natures finest medicinal roots and
herbs. These cleanse and invigo-
rate the inner organs Stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, to more
healthy, normal action, thus bring
ing new feelings of health over the
system in general in natural and
safe way.
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
Drug Store, Illinois and Washing
ton Sts., Indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits
OF this remedy. Konjola is sold in
al Hook stores in this city and by
all druggists throughout this section.
