GIRL TRAVELER SAYS WORLD IS TOO SAFE NOW — Jungle Hardships Nothing Compared to Getting to Show on Time By Paul W. White (United Press Stuff Correspondent) New York, June 24 (UP) —The world has been made too safe for travelers, according to Constance j Bridges, youthful and attractive nomad, who in the past 10 years has, poked into the corners of such out-of-the-way spots us Luduk, Bah.' Cambodia amt Burma. Miss Bridges, resting between journeys told the United Press thic | she secretly envied other explorers whose lives appeared (In their | books) to be a maelstrom of dangerous adventure. She recalled, for instance, a trip across the Zoji-la Pass after a cholera plague had driven her and her I party from the Vale of Kashmir. The only hardship encountered over tiiat supposedly perilous pass, she! said, was the lack of ice. Miss Bridges. Radcliffe graduate, prominent in Lake Forrest, 111., society, and at one time a member of Professor Baker's famed 47-work-shop, at last has succumbed to the literary urge that in time overtakes ull who stray from the confines of civilization, a tony way of saying she has written a book. As a matter of fact she had no in-1 tention of so doing until she wasi asked while relating her experien I ces one evening why she had never tried authorhood. "The worst fright I ever had," Miss Bridges said, “came in connection with the kreit, the so-called) “minute snake” which I had always) been told was trained from birth to sink its deadly fangs into the hu-| man skin. "Accordingly when ! was visiting British friends one time in Burma) I was frozen with fear when a kreit | dipped from the rafters of their home and landed on my host’s j shoulder. Then, for some reasoo.j the snake glided to the floor and. wriggled silently away. There simply wasn't any harm in him —at that moment anyway. “Then I looked forward to a royal tiger hunt as the guest of the Maharajah of Gwalior. Here, I thought there was certain to be rich excitement. This is how sporting the affair turned out to be: "The wretched beasts were driven by beaters through a runway and potted at from a tower by the maharajah and his guests. It was bad form for the latter to hit the tiger. That was the maharajah’s privilege, you can imagine how thrilling I found it.

Railroad Man Enthusiastic About Konjola Engineer. Restored to Lasting Health. Eagerlv Tells Others of New Medicine i I'’TM i MR. JAMES C. POE “I suffered with stomach trouble i that brought on bloating, belching i and severe gas pains”, said Mr. ' James C. Poe. 322 Grand avenue, i Indianapolis. "I grew very nervous and was unable to sleep well at ] night. My kidneys and liver were sluggish and I was subjebt to back-1 aches, dizzy spells and severe bilious headaches. Rheumatism attacked me in the arms aud hands and the joints became swollen, stiff and sore. I suffered in this way for two years. ‘‘l had a better appetite and slept | better before I had completed the | second bottle of Konjola. Soon the back pains and headaches disappeared. Six bottles of this great medicine solved my health problems. My stomach, liver and kidneys became normal and functioned as they should. The pain and swelling from rheumatism completely left my hands and even my catarrh which had bothered me for years was much relieved. It. is eighteen months since I took Konjola and I have had no need for a medicine since.” Konjola is not designed for mere temporary relief. It quickly goes to the source of ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and rheumatism, neurities and nervousness. Konjola is sold in Decatur at the B. J. Smith drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
