WANT WATCHMAN DISCONTINUED F.S. Thompson, Nickel Plate Official Presents Matter To City Council F. S. Thompson, chairman of the “safety first" committee of the Nickel Plate railroad appeared before the city council in regular session last night and requested that the railroad he permitted to dispense with the services of the watchman at the Winchester street crossing. Mr. Thompson stated that in his opinion “a watchman and signa! light at the crossing created a hazard" and that it seemed an unnecessary expenditure to have both at the crossing. He stated, that as chairman of the "safety first" committee of the Nickel Plate, he personally wanted the best protection possible. He also told the council that Decatur was the only city in llinois, Indiana or Ohio, where double protection, as that in service at the Winchester street crossing was in force. He stated that at Vrankfort, the Nickel Plate tracks crossed a similar crossing, where school children crossed daily and that the flasher signals were the only means of protection. He stated that the railroad company would gladly move the flasher lights to the middle of the street if the council desired. The ra Iroad official said that if the double p’ote.ction meant the saving of a life it the company would not disfavor any means which would mean safety to the public. Expense of the watchman is not a reason, if the man would do any good in safeguarding the public, stated Mr. Thompson, but the railroad company feels that it is an unnecessary ex- 1 pense. I The councilmen asked several ques- ' tions about the matter and the question was left in the hands of the committee on public safety. o MANY PRAY FOR CURE FROM ILLS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE* Assumption and her wish was granted. During her brief life she was said to have borne suffering and illness stoically and prayer that she be permitted to carry the burdens of others. Those who pray before her simple shrine are said to believe that through Annella they may be cured •—that into her dust goes the pain. Those who knew Sister Annella KONJOLAFREES LADY OF DREAD NEURITIS PAINS Suffered Three Years—All Medicines Failed Until Konjola Was Put To The Test W MRS. FLORENCE PLYMATE “For three years I suffered with neuritis,” said Mrs. Florence Plymate, 929 East Laguna street, Kokomo. Ind. “The pains settled in my arms and shoulders. Often my forearm felt completely numb. For about half the night I was awake suffering dreadfully. My nerves became upset and the I excitement disturbed me. “Friends urged me to give Konjola a chance and I determined to find out what it could do. Day by day the improvement became more noticeable. Soon the, neuritis pains became less severe and then they were swept from my system. Mj f nerves were soothed and quieted and today I am well and happy. I owe everything to Konjola and praise it with all my heart and soul.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at B. J. Smith Drug Co., drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. Colds are serious. Even mild cases are dangerous. Remember KONJOLA COLD COMPOUND (tablets) is giving amazing relief to thousands of cold sufferers every year. These tablets are of the same high quality as Konjola. J

I tell of two sisters In the order, one suffering from arthritis, the other from >i supposedly Incurable spinal I, curvature, who were made well at her shrine; of the woman, who, finding herself near blindness, prayed to Sister Annella and regained her sight: of the woman suffering from , painful electric burns, who prayed ’ and was cured. Countless other examples are cited. Hundreds over the nation who believe that their misfortunes have been • removed by their prayers to the beneI dictine nun now talk of building a > national shrine in “God's Acre" ia honor of Sikter Annella, their un-can-i onized saint. , o SENATE PROBE GROUP HEARS RENTSCHLER (CONTINUED FROM PARE ONE) eral Sugar company, with 125,000,000 1 capital stock, which took over the 1 Cuban properties and »then in 1925 the bank made him a vice president 1 because of hie work.

the activities of the committee and sanctioned the brief they submitted to the congresisonal tariff committees of both houses. He gave them no money and took no steps to spread propaganda except through the monthly bulletin of the National City Bank, which cost about $21X1.1)00 a year, he added. This expense was paid by the bank. not by the General Sugar Company. which holds the properties for the bank. The liiink stood behind all the publicity In its monthly bulletin, he added. “We have been frnnk and open about oqr interest in the matter,” he said. Robinson sought to show the bank's activities were "against the American Beet Sugar producers and against giving them enough of a tariff to live, so the bank could live.” "If you are going to develop the beet sugar industry in this country to a point where you eliminate cane sugar entirely, you are leveling a serious blow at Cuba,” Rentschler replied. The hank bulletin has a circulation of 300.000 and all congressmen are on the mailing list, the witness said. He was unable to explain how the bank obtained a month and a half in advance of the general publication a copy of the Hubbard. Perlman and Commons (University of Wisconsin professors) report on the sugar tariff. Th ereport was favorable to a low duty. "I don't know anything about the report.’ Rentschler said. "It may have come to the editor of our bulletin, George E. Roberts, along with reports of other economists.” Robinson made it clear *the report of the professors was a personal venture by them as economists and not as university of Wisconsin representatives. Caraway said the profoessors were paid by W. T. Rawleigh of Freeport, 111., head of the Rawleigh tariff league: "I don't know Rawleigh.” Rentschler said. o What for?
