GIVES STATE HOPE

the emergency law recognizes that
many of the states are without a
balance in their good roads funds.
This is the situation in Indiana.
Provision Is made that each state
can use its special share of the $780,
100000 appropriated in the bill, as
If 1t were money from it's own
treasury, and then might borrow
an equal sum from the 100000, 900
unexpended balance in the federal
highway fund.
The states can repay the sum
borrowed in five years, beginning
with 1888, with money which will
be available in those years as their
share of the future federal highway
funds.
John j. Brown, Indiana highway
department director, was out of the
city today, but attaches of his Office
were gratified with the prospect of
the federal aid becoming available
Immediately. No hope of federal
aid before next July l had been
held.
The loan feature of the emer-
gency measure would enable In
diana to receive double the $2,045,-

what Konjola has done, however,
for sufferers from ills of the
stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels,
and from rheumatism, neuritis and
nervousness, commands the atten-
ton and respect of every thinking
man or woman. Consider for mo-
ment, the experience of Mrs. Ida
L. Smith, 1895 South Rybolt street,
Indianapolis. See what Konjola
did for her, and then determine
to see the Konjola Man at the HOOK
dependable drug store, Illinois and
Washington streets, this city, and
learn all about the medicine that
does such things. Just recently Mrs.
Smith said to the Konjola Man:
Indigestion, kidney and liver
trouble from which I suffered a
long time, had me in a very weak
ened, rundown condition. I was
losing weight and strength. I had
severe pains across the small of my
back, and, almost daily I suffered
with severe headaches and dizzy
spells. After trying many medicines
and treatments without obtaining
any relief, my attention was at
tracted to Koniola by the endorse
ments I read. I began the Konjola
treatment and began to feel better
almost Immediately. AS I contin-
ued using Konjola my ailments dis

it."
