indicated in the experience of Mr..

sylvania street, indianapolis. In a
talk with the Konjola Man at the
Hook Dependable Drug Store, I'LL
nois and Washington streets, this
city, recently, Mr.. Bernhardt said:
For more than year I SUI
Tered terribly from gas and bloat-
ing after meals. Food soured in
my stomach and I belched terribly.
A burning sensation in my stomach
followed meals. I had little appe-
tite. My liver was sluggish and l
was subject to headaches and dizzy
spells. Constipation was another
source of worry and was constant
ly taking laxatives. I became very
nervous, did not sleep well and lost
weight and strength.
IT tried several medicines without
results. Konjola soon cleared up
my stomach condition and I could
eat what I wished without fear of
suffering. My appetite improved
amazingly. My liver trouble was
relieved and I am no longer consti-
pated. I surely feel like another
man and can work every day with
out suffering in any way. 1t has
been a year and half since I took
Konjola, but I am still in excel

Konjola's relief is lasting be-
cause it is thorough. Given real

BY STEWART BROWN
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Compulsory wig
removal to prove Jewish widows
really are orthodox, which is one of
the most embarrassing duties of
American consular officers aboard,
may be ended in a suggested world
congress Of rabbis.
The suggestion is made by Frank
S. Goldman, lTalmudic scholar. who
strongly condemns the strict OBJ
servance of chalitza for widowed
Jewish women who wish to remarry.
According to the Jewish law and
Tulmud, widow who wishes to re-
marry first must offer herself to her
late husbands brother.
She must kneel before him and
If he wishes to marry her, he raises
her from the ground.
If not, he spits in her face or goes
through the motion of such refusal.
This is the chalitza.
Because of the American quota
law, Jewish women widowed abroad,
whose brothers-in-law reside in the
United States, find it hard to
comply with this requirement.
Upon the request of several
American rabbis, Congressman
Hamilton Fish of New York wrote
to all American consulateS asking
