J. A. McClellan, head of the league, that he had been offered liquor in 14 of 15 Topeka homes he visited;’’ that drinking among women had increased 1,000 per cent; that he did not deplore feminine imbibing and that he was amazed at the Anti-Saloon League’s "ignorance of conditions." The Rev. McClellan turned the letter over to Attorney General William A. Smith. Gov. Clyde* Reed took a hand’ in the affair.

Subpoenaes went out to the heads of seven leading households and three were hailed before the attorney general for questioning as to whther they were numbered in the 11 who offered drinks to the columnist. o Investment Trust To Be World’s Largest New York, Sep. 18.— (U.K) — Plans were divulged today for formation of the largest investment trust in the world, a corporation which will spend M 00,000,000 to acquire control of 15 New York state banks, $100,000,000 to found its own bank here and $500,000,000 to control additional banks throughout the country.

What a record this master medicine is making everywhere It is known. The case of Mr. C. H. Gerard, R. R.

And just two bottles of this remarkable medicine did these things. Do you wonder that I call Konjoia miraculous? My hands were crippled and useless with rheumatism; my food did not digest and I suffered terrible gas pains and bloating; my kidneys got me up at night. Now all this is over and I am feeling better than in 20 years.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists In all towns I throughout this entire section.

WYANDOT’S ACTION ON PIT LIKE CESS OF SHEEREST SILK Great buildings have used it exclusively for 25 years Wyandot is now ready to bring new beauty and economy to homes. It was developed for the cleaning and saving of paint and enamel. It has been used for years by famous hospitals and hotels on millions of dollars’ worth of paint-work. Wyandot is not recommended for pots and pans. There are already plenty of cleansers to do the rough work. Wyandot is in a class by itself. It skims over the surface so swiftly that it is hard to believe it is cleaning. There is a total absence of that gritty, grinding action familiar in ordinary cleansers. It saves and polishes the most delicate surfaces. It renews the lustre. It safeguards the hands. Yet for all its gentleness, Wyandot is the most thorough cleaning ever used on paint-work, bathtub, tiling, ice-box or windowglass. Your grocer is ready for your Wyandot order. Large package, only 15c. And it’s covered by a money-back guarantee. Take this notice to the store as a reminder.
