the two-nile course at II o'clock.
Jumping from fifty-second place in
parades in previous years to second
place this year, with the possibility OF
leading the entire parade compriSed OF
fifty-eight departments, is one OF the
outstanding accomplishments during the
administration Of Harlan Wood, VINO
was department commander last year:
The fact that the Department OF
Hawaii, which was assigned first posi-
ton in the parade, due to showing the
highest percentage in membership gain
during the year, in which the De-
partment of the District OF Columbia
finished q close second, Is so many
miles distant from the convention city
and is not likely to send delegation
means that the District Legionnaires
will be out in first place for the first
time in the history of the local depart
ment. Department Condr. L. E. Atkins
as well as Past Department Comdr. Har-
Ian Wood are both going to the conVen-
ton as delegates and will be aboard the

SENATE WILL
DELAY z WEEKS
ON TARIFF BILL
Gentleman'S Agreement Is
Reached by G. 0. P.
and Democrats.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. A
gentleman's agreement has been
worked out between Republicans
and Democrats to delay the open
ing Of the senate tariff discussion
from Aug. 10 until Sept. 3, because
the senate finance committee Repub-
leans now rewriting the house tariff
bill will not have it ready for sem
ate consideration until two weeks
after the date originally set.
Republicans have arranged to fin
sh all rates in the bill by Aug. 10,
when they officially will be made
public and turned over to the
Democrats for inspection. This
courtesy was granted in order that
the Democrats might be ready to
debate the bill Sept. 3, the two
weeks being allowed in order that
they may familiarize themselves
with its new duties.
The arrangement had to be e.
fected by a gentleman's agreement
because under the Constitution the
senate can recess no more than
three days at a time without con-
sent of the house and the house
will not return until September.
The senate, therefore, will meet
every third day after Aug. 10 and
adjourn without doing any business
until Sept. 3.

DRY HEAD SAYS
LIQUOR RUINS
AGENTS. LIVES
Enforcement Officers Lose
Weight SampIing Poor
Booze.

BIZ United Press
CLEVELAND, O., Aug, 9-The
drv agent is a martyr to prohibi-
tons cause. His health is being
ruined that the dry laws may be
enforced.
This description Of the situation
is given by John E. Wright, deputy
prohibition administrator.
Drinking liquor is running the
health of the dry agent" declared
Wright.
LAS much as my men dislike to
violate the spirit of the prohibition
law by drinking liquor themselves,
they are forced to do so in comply
ing with their duties. To charge a
b~ootlegger with possession and sale
the dry agent must obtain actual
evidence Of selling. To get this
evidence he must visit speakeasieS,
make friends with the doorman ana
the barkeeper and buy drinks.
"Of course, a dry agent might go
into a speakeasy, buy a drink and
then spill it on the floor. But II
he were observed he'd likely be
killed before he left the place. So
to do the job properly, the agent
must only only buy liquor but drink
it. After drinking the liquor, the
agent goes out and gets a warrant.
A raid follows"
Wright explained that the job OF
getting evidence is usually given to
the new men on the force.
They come into the department
and some relish the job of going
out to do some drinking for Uncle
Sam. But in six months time, we
have to take them off the evidence
getting work. The kind of liqour
they have to drink is so bad that
their health is ruined.
1T have a hard time getting
agents just because of. this condi-
ton"
Wright said one of his men lost
40 pounds in six months of liquor
drinking, evidence getting. Another
on the job two years was forced
to take a leave Of absence to re-
gain health.

tried. Age is no barrier to the
splendid merits of this medicine.
Koniola works its wonders for those
in the seventies and eighties as well
as for young men and women and
also may be given to the infant With
amazing results. But get all the
facts about Konjola. Call on the
Konjola Man, who is at Hooks De-
pendable Drug Store, Illinois and
WASHINGTON streets, Indianapolis,
and have him tell you the wonderful
story of this wonderful medicine. He
will tell YOU of case after case
wherein Konjola brought the first
and only relief. And is it not wise
TO profit by the experiences OF
others. Take, as a typical example
of Koniola at work, the case OF Mrs.
Belle Weckerman. 1921 Kenwood
avenue. Indianapolis, who said to
the Konjola Man a few days ago:
although I am seventy-one
a old, and had suffered for the
last twenty-five years, Konjola won
another Of its splendid victories IN
nv case. I praise this medicine
publicly in the hope that others VIII
profit from the lesson my experience
teaches.
"When I say I suffered for twenty
five years I mean that I was IN
misery day and night. Rheumatism
and kidney trouble made life mis-
cradle and because of my age I felt
that I would never see another well
day. My legs and feet were so sWol-
len. stiff and painful that l could
not walk. Whenever I wanted to
get around I had to have someone
help me. I never left the house.
During the night the weakness OF
NV kidneys disturbed my sleep three
or four times. Finally my food be-
gan to disagree with me and 1 felt
that I was Just about done Tor.
Medicines were Of no avail n TINS
made me feel all the more certain
that my case was hopeless.
"But Konjola was sc sincerely rec
commended that I decided TO take
one more chance for betterment.
BIt I was taking no chance with
Koniola. It was exactly what l al
wavs needed. 1t went right to WORK;
I could almost feel it. The surge OF
returning health became more no.
ticeable every day. I realized that
at last. health was just around the
corner in spite Of my age and the
length of suffering. 1t was several
months before Konjola completely
ended all my ailments, but 1t did
hat thoroughly. Twenty-Five years
of suffering is at an end. No more
rheumatism and my kidneys are
strong and functioning as Nature
intends. I walk any distance and
sleep soundly every night. All this
glorious health I WE to KonJola n
I praise it with every breath"
Koniola contains no alcohol. no
Notwithstanding drugs, nc heart-de-
messing chemicals. 1t is all medi-
cine. every drop and every drop
works.
The Konjola Man is at Hooks De-
pendable Drug Store, Illinois and
WASHINGTON streets, Indianapolis,
where he is meeting the public
daily, introducing and explaining
the merits Of this and different
Observation-Disclosures.
