How often the Konjola Man, who Is

first and only medicine that brought
relief. Take, for instance, the state

East Tenth street, this city, who
had a most remarkable experience
with Konjola
after I had taken a brief treat
ment Of Konjola 1 realized that it
was the medicine I should have had
in the first place. For ten long
years I suffered from kidney trouble
Of the worst sort. Severe pains in
my back almost prevented me from
getting around. Night and day they
affected me; my feet and ankles
were swollen and sore. in fact, my
whole body was filed with these
sharp, agoniZing pains. Due to the
slUggishnesS of my liver I became
subject to dizzy spells, when hun
dreds Of spots appeared before my
eyes. I was becoming weaker ana
more rundown daily-often barely
being able to get out Of bed in the
morning. Worst of all was the fact
that nothing gave me the slightest
bit of relief.
1T was just when my case was
at it's worst that I started on the
Konjola treatment. This medicine
certainly had the most adverse con-

think that made any difference?
Certainly not, Konjola did not
falter. 1t went right to the source
OF my troubles and in little over a
month l was a we'll and happy
woman. KonjoIa strengthened and
invigorated my kidneys-banished
the swelling and pains. My liver
was regulated so that the dizzy

vigor took hold Of my system Kon-

understand why it is called the

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

There is no doubt that Ona B.
Talbot yesterday afternoon at the
Murat closed her season in what
might be tamely called in a blaze
of al0.y.
The fact is that the audience was
way too small for such piano re-
cital as was given by Rudolph CAM.
Here is a technically sound musi-
clan. a student and a fine scholar of
Z music. CAM is not given to any
personally eccentric stunts on the
concert platform.
He is always the great student,
the studied technician who knows
how to create certain effects at the
right time.
His piano might rightly be called
one of the most intelligent and
best controlled pianos on the con-
cert stage today He is not given
to sudden crashes but seems to
weave the theme to a logical climax
instead of relying upon muscles and
a gallopiug piano. He does not
seek TO give one the impression that
he is testing out the strength of the
instrument.
He has always given me the i'm
preston that piano is something
that demands intelligent under
standing. instead of a beating.
And I received that same impress
sion Yesterday at the Murat. His
Chopin group exhibited that fine
technique and rare understanding
of the composer that one has al
ways the right TO expect in this
artist.
1t seems to me that I have never
heard Chopins Fantasy in F
Minor" played with more delightful
sympathy and rare artistry than
when CAM played it yesterday aft
ernoon.
But it was Beethoven'S Sonata
in 2 Minor Op. ST. tAppaSsionata)
that proved the fine understand
ing OF GAM Here was a splendid
exhibition that revealed the true
beauty of Beethoven in at least
three moods. To me this was the
high spot of the recital.
The third part of the program
was devoted to a composition by
CAM, then followed by Critics, De-
busy and ending with Wagner

After repeatedly giving Blackwell
the air, Alice consents to let him
take her home from party, be-
cause Of something he wants to tell
her that happened in the deserted
house
Of course it is only a trick.
But once home be tells her that
she is only blufTing, and that he

NEW YORK May 20.-H. H. Van

yesterday in which he said the News
had not sought a building loan from
the International Paper Co.
The report regarding the loan was
published in a story that the News Syn

preme Court against the international
Paper Co. for $3.50, 703. alleged due as
an overcharge on newsprint paper pur-

read: 1T was stated that the News
had sought a large building loan from

This statement is untrue and not
in accordance with the facts.
The fact is the News made claim
against the paper company that it had
been overcharged under the terms Of
its contract for paper. This claim the
paper company offered to settle last
October by paying approximately $780,
900 in cash and the balance by making

AT no time did the News seek

was only seeking a settlement of the

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 90
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise told the Amer
lean Jewish Congress here yesterday
that he would not accept a reelection
as president.
Organizations and persons must not
become interchangeable terms" he said,
regardless of how valuable persons
may become to organizations. We might,
in truth. have another and finer type
of leadership in American Israel if life
long tenure of Jewish Office ceased to
be in vogue"
He explained, however. that his re-
fusal to accept the presidential chair of
the congress again would not be con-
strued as meaning that his interest in
the activity of the association had de-
clined. On the contrary, he said. his
interest is increasing to the extent that
he desires to set a precedent for the
betterment of the organization.
