The St. Marys team has one of the strongest defenses of any team in the state —However, if the full strength of the Commodores is in the lineup tonight, the Laurentmen should win the game. —oOo — It's hard to w n basketball games .t Anderson. The St. Marys -ymnasium irf small, and the ceiling is low.

"My stomach gave me constant trouble and I had painful and dangerous gas pains around my heart. My kidneys were bad and a weakened bladder caused me to rise sometimes five or six times in qne night. My iver wa: sluggish and 1 had occasional dizzy spells. “I had read a great deal about Konjola and decided to give it a rial. Almost f.cm the beginning E could see the change. Today I ave e good ape its and am without a trace of indigest'on. My kidneys have improved wonderfully and my sleep is sound and without interruption. I have gained in strength and weight, and feel better than for years. I highly praise Konjola for it brought this about after all other medicines had failed." Konjola is sold in Decatur at the H. J. Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists In all towns throughout this entire section. r ■> Colds are serious. Even mild cases are dangerous.
