OLD AND YOUNG BOTH BENEFITED BY NEW KONJOLA T h “Best Medicine That Ever Entered Our Home,” Says This Lady ' X ■: F /A. r qHMn MRS. MARY MARTIN "I want to toll you that Koiijola la the best medicine that ever entered our home. It benefited both myself and my 4 year old grandson.” said Mrs. Marv Martin, 709 W. 17th St.. Connersville, Ind. "I suffered from stomach trouble for the past three years,’ 'continued Mrs. Martin. "After meals I suffered from gas bloating and finally had to live on a strict diet. The lightest of foods would form a bard knot in hiy Stomach, ferment and sour. I was also subject to dizzy spells, when everything whirled around before me and black snots would apnear before my eyes. My grandson had terrific stomach aches all the time and never had much energy. “I heard what Konjola was doing tor other sufferers so I decided to try it. It is a blessing that I did because it endhd all my health troubles. My food agrees with me and all the gas bloating is gone. I never have dizzy spells like I used to and I sleep perfectly at night. My grandson never complains of stomach ache and we both feel better in every way. “Yes, Konjola proved a wonderful medicine in our home and I strongly recommend it." Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store and by the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.

Fakir’s Filthy Robes Sought for Shrouds A little farther along. In the street, where shroud* are sold (In Damascus), figure, but pale and enmwith his head drooping like u flower under Ids tall yellow bonnet, measures off doth with Ills arms, in a pose that.suggests a crucifixion. “All the merchants here are on the verge of bankruptcy,” All Bey says to ; me. “In the old times they were very , rich.” • “Don’t people die In Damascus any more?” “Shrouds are not bought for dead men; tli»*v are worn almost entirely by pilgrims to Mecca; and since no one now goes to Mecca . . .” “Oh, that explains, then, the mystical expression of distress on that dancer-undertaker's face.” “Moreover," continues All Bey ns we cross the street of the water pipe makers, where most of the work seems to he done with feet, "the fashionable , shroud for rich people Is a poor man's I tunic.” “A poor man’s tunic?" “Yes; I mean a fakir's robe. Especially If It Is ragged and filthy. All the sultnns of Damascus are Interred In these—Nureddln, Saladin and Bibnrs. In a fakir's garb, you know, one Is sure to get a drink at the celestial springs.”—Myrlam Harry in I.e Temps, Paris (Living Age). No Possibility That Home W ill Disappear A certain professor in Great Britain prophesies that fifty years from now there will be no more homes, but everyone will live in hotels and eat In restaurants. The professor makes no allowance for human nature, a writer in the Montreal Family Herald comments. It is love that requires a home and makes It. Love is enduring, and so homes are enduring. There were homes in the old savage days when a hundred or more lived in a long wigwam or in a series of cliff* dwellings not unlike our modern hotels. There will be homes even if the changes of custom send us back to cliff dwellings—with modern improvements. Where mother and father and sisters and brothers are, there Is home, whatever its shifting style. In appreciating our homes and enriching them, we nre devoting ourselves to one of the most permanent of earthly institutions.

The Seven Seas “The seven seas” is a figurative phrase denoting all the seas or oceans of the world. The common explanation is that the seven seas are the Arctic, Antarctic. North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic and Indian oceans. But this explanation Is purely imaginary and superficial. The term was part of the vernacular of many nn lions long before some of these oceans were known to the civilized world. The seven seas are referred to lithe literature of the early Hindus. Persians, Romans and Hebrews. To the Persians the seven sens were the streams forming the Oxus river, and the Hindus applied the name to bodies of water In the Punjab. Near Venice in Italy were of large salt water lagoons which the Romans called “septem ma ria," wlilch is Latin for seven seas. The phrase “the seven seas” was popularized In modern times by Rudyard Kipling, who used It ns the title of a volume of poems published In 1896.—Exchange. Seemed Natural Question A young married woiiuin, accompanied by her four-year-old niece, had ■just completed a call nt the doctor’s office. The latter had advised her to purchase a carriage and give her infant a dally outing. The mother replied that this would hardly be wise, ns she intended moving from the neighborhood in the near future. On their way home the little girl looked up at her aunt and asked. “But nuntie, where did your baby come from?” “Heaven,” her aunt replied. “And who In heaven gave you the baby?” “God," replied rhe woman. “Then,” said the little girl, “why doesn’t God give you a carriage?" The Body Corporate The use of the spoken word to convey ideas distinguishes man from all other created things. It is the function of the engineer to provide for the extension of the spoken word by means of electrical systems of intercommunication which will serve to connect the nervous system of each unit of society with all of the others, thus providing an Indispensable element in the structure of that Inconceivably great and powerful organism, which it is believed will by the ultimate outcome of the marvelous evolution which society Is to undegro.— Exchange. Erosion Formed Bridge The Natural Bridge in Virginia was caused by stream erosion. The present structure was left by the collapse of the remainder of the roof of a tun nel formed, according to Cleland, “by i water percolating through a point or ■ fissure athwart the stream, thence along a Itedding plane and emptying under a fall or rapid of the stream. The channel thus formed was gradtuilly enlarged until all the water of the stream was diverted front the stream bed below the point of Ingress, leaving the bridge."
