after meals. My kidneys were weak
and my back sore and painful. My
liver was sluggish and had sal
low color Frequent attacks of dig
ziness were accompanied by severe
headaches. Constipation worried
me and I lost weight and strength
and became very nervous.
"A friend induced me to try Kon-
lola Three bottles so improved my
general health that my stomach
gave me no more trouble. My kid
neys we're cleansed and r:y liver be-
came active again. I no longer SUI
fer from constipation and do not
have TO use laxatives. I have gained
in health ana strength and have
only the highest praise for this good
medicine"

SHIPSTEAD REPORTS
BlMETALISM VIEWS
Found Increasing Sentiment for
Plan on Recent Euro
pean Tour.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Shipstead said yesterday he
had found during his recent trip TO
Europe increasing sentiment in favor OF
a double metal monetary standard IN
order to restore trade and facilities Tor
international settlements.
The Minnesota Farmer-Labor Sena-
tor said the chief argument against re-
turning to the use of silver as money
for the payment of international debts
was its fluctuations in value.
He argued, however, that the estab-
lishment of gold as the only commodity
that could be used for international
settlement had caused its value to fiuc-
tuate according to its demand.
Shipstead said that because OF the
limited production of gold and because
most of what is produced is boarded"
by France and the United States. in
ternational settlements are almost I'M
possible"
when you cannot make settlements
you cannot buy and sell and trade
stops" he said.
Shipstead said Great Britain's oppo..
sition to an international conference OF
governments on the silver question
Should be removed by Mahatma Can
dhi's favorable expression toward such
conference.
