trying result.
Anet profit of sf1 ,02s, S54.5o has been realized
from the redemption or sale of securities which
had risen to high premiums.
The securities listed in the assets have been
valued at figures substantially below the values
placed on them by the Government. This under
valuation of our securities represents an import
ant safeguard against possible adverse market
fluctuations, additional to the reserves specih-
cally provided against that contingency.
We are again able to report that on the bonds
and preferred stocks listed in the assets not one

arrear for single day; while the dividends &C
cruing to common stocks exceed by several
million dollars those payable on the same stocks
at the time of purchase.

How often the Konjola Man, who is
at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, this city, hears
the expression How I wish T. had
known of Konjola a great deal
sooner--it was the medicine I
should have had III the first place."
Grateful men and women are CALI
ing every day to tell of the remark
able benefits they derived through
the use of this medicine. Many of
his callers are people in poor health,
seeking to find the road to new and
glorious health. The Konjola
is pointing out to them case after
case wherein Konjola proved the
first and only medicine that brought
relief. Take, for instance, the state
ment Of Mrs. Emma Hamilton, 1914
East Tenth street, this city, who
had a most remarkable experience
with Konjola:
"After I had taken brief treat
ment of Konjola I realized that it
was the medicine I should have had
in the first place. For ten long
years 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 filled with these
sharp, agonizing pains. Due to the
sluggishness of my liver became
subject to dizzy spells, when hun
dreds of spots appeared before my
eyes. I was becoming weaker and
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 its worst that I started on the
Konjola treatment. This medicine
certainly had the most adverse con-
ditionS to work under. But. do you
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 I was a well and happy
woman. Konjola strengthened and
invigorated my kidneys-banished
the swelling and pains. My liver
was regulated so that the dizzy
spells vanished and new energy and
vigor took hold of my system. Kon-
.jola alone is responsible for the re-
markable change In my health. ]
owe everything to it. I can fully
understand why it is called the
master medicine of them all and I
praise it to everyone young and
old
This is not an exceptional case.
Konjola has thousands of them to
its credit. Daily more and more
men and women are describing the
benefits they derived through its
use. 1t is said that no sufferer can
afford not to give Konjola trial.
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington
streets, this city. where he is meet

and explaining the merits Of this

Provides Annual Reports

The secretary of state would be
the licensing official under terms of
the Bouchard bill, to be known, if
passed, as ''the paWnbroking law"
The license fee would be $500, re-
Movable annually.
PaWnbrokers now doing business
under any local ordinance would
not be required to get the state Ii
cense until expiration of their pres
ent license. Bond also would be
required in the amount of $1,000.
Licenses would be revocable, after
hearing, for violation Of any part of
the act.
At least once a year, the secretary
OF state or some one designated by
him would be required to investi-
gate all records of all pawnbroking
establishments in the state.
Pawnbrokers would be required to
submit an annual report to the sec
rotary of state, giving the number
and amount of loans made during
the year and interest charged.
$500 Fine Is Proposed
The bill provides that interest on
loans shall not exceed 31a per cent
a month, on unpaid balances. If
Interest in excess of this amount is
charged, the pawnbroker forfeits
principal and interest and is re-
CURED to surrender the pledged Sc
curity to the borrower.
The secretary of state is empow-
cred to prescribe regulations for
pawnbrokers and required to SEQ
operate with the police or other Of
ficials of municipalities for the dis
covery or restoration of stolen prop
erty."
Violation of the act would be pun
ishable by fine. of not more than
$500 or imprisonment for not more
than six months, or both, at discre-
ton of the court.

Adequate international Industrial Statistics and Cooperation Urged
 To Stabilize Production Activity

Measures to prevent Justification of letters of credit. corrupt com mercial practices, the protection of industrial property and of patents on inventions, the preparation of in dustrial statistics, double taxation of foreign corporations, the transport of goods by rail, airplane and auto mobile as well as highway finance, occupied the second days sessions of the technical committees.
 Several Speakers Heard
 Edward s. Rogers, Frank F. Reed and Allan M. Reed of Chicago, pre- scented the American viewpoint re- specting the protection of industrial property, trade marks and inven- tions. Roy D. Chapin of Detroit spoke on transports and communi- cations and A. J. Brosseau on high way finances.
 In the interests of economic har- mony and peace, the American dele gates are striving to keep the pro- posed revised American tariffs from being discussed in the open plenary session, feeling that any precipitate attacks or criticisms at this time, could only react unfavorably on the United States congress.
 There is much discussion, how ever, of the tariff question behind the scenes among the British, French and other foreign delegates who eX- press anxiety of the effect higher tariffs would have on European trade

 Production capacity in various industries the world over has in- creased to point where balanced output, which is the basis for stable industrial activity, has become a paramount world economic prob lem," said MT. Alexander. "Produc- tivity alone creates purchasing pow CT and, hence, all the world indus tries could not possibly produce too much. for each product in effect, in a well balanced market, should he a demand for other products.

It is not the intention of the editor. after reading the silhouette in the circular sent out by the Kiwanians, to get into any literary dispute with Brother Hugh Mckenna, for confi- dentially, such heights of literary phrases could not be attempted to be reached by one of such a humble station as a penny-an-inch man.

And, in the meantime, rest assured Mn McKenna, that there is no literary dispute between us, for you have opened up new train of thought in the editors mind which has enriched personal coffers to the extend of two cents, which otherwise he would not have re- Ceived.
