Beaten and crushed, the lovely
nude body of Myrtle Mellus,

bed. Over her stood her husband.
Whimpering in the closet

to the test. They know because
their customers invariably come
back to tell what Konjola did
for them, and the records of Kon-
jola fairly overflow with the CRATE
full words of those to whom Konjola
has come as a blessing. Konjola
has won, and kept, more than mil
lion friends just by bringing relief,
as in the case of Mrs. Dora 2. Uhls,
400 Spring street, Indianapolis. But
hear of any number of such ex-
periences from the Konjola Man at
the Hook Dependable Drug Store,
Illinois and Washington streets,
this city, where many come to find
out about this famed medicine that
has been used in tens of thousands
of cases with astounding success.
Read, now, the grateful words of
Mrs. UhlS, who said to the Konjola
Man:
"Konjola did more for me than
all else I tried, and am certainly
glad to endorse this fine medicine.
About four years ago my health be-
gan to fail Food soured in my
stomach and had gas pains around
my heart, and smothering spells.
Ny kidneys were in a terrible con-
dition. My feet and ankles we're
swollen and my back ached con-
Stantly. Constipation and nerv-
business added greatly to my mis-
cry and I became greatly discour-
aged as the different remedies
tried brought only temporary re-
lief.
Il finally made up my mind to
try Konjola. That was a wise de-
ciSion. Improvement started quick
ly and continued gradually day
after day. Soon the swelling left
my feet and ankles and no longer
have those awful pains in my
back. Food digestS much better
and am again enjoying life and
am gaining in strength and Wit !
ity each day. I can't say too
much in praise of this great medi-
cine"
Many express amazement at the
speed with which Konjola works.
1t does, but a course of from six
to eight weeks is strongly recon-
mended Konjola is both a medi-
cine and tonic, rich in upbuilding
powers. 4
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, Indianapolis,
where he is meeting the public
daily. explaining the merits Of this
new and different medicine.

Southern New England
 Baseball League

Through Manager Francis Murphy of Putnam the Belding- -Heminway Silk Sox have signed to enter a six-team inter-town baseball league this sea son. The organization was formed Tuesday evening in the office of the Webster Times.
 Webster will be represented by two teams. Slater Company and St. Joseph's Young Mems association. Danielson will enter a team and the Giants will represent the Grosvenor- dales. Putnam and Quinebaug round out the half dozen members of the new organization.
 All of the representatives at the meeting were enthusiastic over a chance to participate in organized baseball. While many good games have been played independently some of the teams booked have been un- known quantities and have not prov ed strong enough to make the games interesting. With a battle on for a league pennant it is believed the fans will show renewed interest in the pastime as exemplified in this section,
 1t is anticipated that some of the towns represented will want Saturday games, some Sunday and some twi- light games. It Is believed that a schedule may be arranged so that all can be accommodated No league of- ficials have as yet been elected. This subject will probably be taken up at meeting to be held in Putnam next Wednesday evening.

LAFAYETTE'S CANE
 PRESENTED D. A. R

Miss Bertha Stevens of Pom fret went to Washington last week to attend the Continental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution as delegate from the New York City Chap ter. While there she presented to the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution the historic La fayette cane, which is now placed in the Museum in Continental Hall. Its history is as follows:
 Lafayette gave the cane to his friend, Herman Thorn, resident of Paris and New York City. John B. Stevens, Miss Stevens father, was executor and trustee and personal friend of Herman Thorn. After the death of Mir. Thorn the cane was given to Mir. Stevens. For many years it was in his possession and handed down to his family.
