PENNSY SEEKS TO REDUCE CRASHES fosters Being Placed at Highway Crossings. In connection with the campaign, between June 1 and Kept. 30, to reduce highway crossing accidents, 2,©OO lithographed posters reading “Be Careful. Cross Crossings Cautiously,” are being placed at highway cross--lngs over Indiana by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it was announced today. W. C. Downing, general agent and superintendent of the Pennsylvania, pointed out that as it is impossible to eliminate -many crossings, and as the number of motorists and travelers is increasing, it is necessary to educate automobilists, drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians, if the number of railroad crossing accidents is to be reduced. Grade crossing accident statistics compiled by the Pennsylvania from June to September, 1925, showed that 530 crossing accidents occurred in daylight and 274 in the dark. Sixty auto drivers tried to beat the train over the crossing, fifty accidents were due to disregarding the watchman’s warning, seventy-two automobiles stalled on tracks and 459 autos ran through or into crossing gates.

MR. M. V. SLJGEK :1)0Wftl disorders and neuritis and rheumatic troubles. Just a few days ago Mr. M. V. Slider, well known )Tndlanapolls citizen, living: at 3109 West Washington Street, this city, Imade the following statement during a conversation with The Konjola Man who daily meets crowds of local people at Hook’s drug store, ;Pennsylvania and Market Streets, •where he is explaining this medicine. "I cannot help hut say a good word for your Konjola, because it is the only medicine which really put ft stop to my suffering,” said Mr. filiger. “I had neuritis and the pains were so severe they felt like the point of a knife piercing mo in ■the shoulder. I had a constant, steady ache in my arm and elbow. ,At nights I would have to he up ■walking the floor, because I just teiifiply couldn't sleep. ‘‘l was also very nervous, so that little things would excite* me, and from losing sleep I become pretty Weak and rundown. My right arm grot so bad that X couldn’t raise it ftbove my head. “I had heen reading about Kon(Jola, and one case described mine pretty closely, so I got this medicine, ■ and, as I have said, It is the only thing which really put a stop to my. suffering. The sharp pains in my shoulders have been relieved, also the arms and elbows. I can raise my right arm way up above my head now, but if I had tried this before, It certainly would put me in misery. My nerves are eased up, and I sleep better than I have for a long time. It seems that Konjola has benefited my whole system and I certainly want to indorse this medicine to everyone.” Konjola is ft medicine which contains tweilty-two juices from natural plants, blended with other splendid ingredients, all of which havo a surprising effect upon the stomach, . liver, kidneys and bowels, and by Invigorating those organs to more activity, Konjola drives rheumatic and neuritis poisons from the system. Many people who take this medicine say afterward that it seems to act like magic in these cases. The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Pennsylvania and -Market {Streets, Indianapolis, where he is tjally meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free samples given. Konjola is also for sale by every ' Hook drug store in Indianapolis, and m. druggists in each nearby town.

INDIANA COAL !S MORE IN DEMAND IN INDIANAPOLIS ‘Buy Now’ Slogan Being Stressed by Peoples Company. An Increased demand for Indiana grades of coal for residence use has been evident during the past winter months and prospects for a still heavier demand during the coming year are good, according to Ray Macy, president of the Peoples Coal and Cement Company, one of the best-known retail coal concerns of Indianaoplis. Macy reported that his company had beeen stressing the "buy now” slogan, because of impending conditions which are expected to boost the price of coal next season. lie said May was the “breathing spell” in the retail coal trade, but he anticipated that June deliveries would be considerably heavier than this month’s total tonnage. The increase in the local consumption of Indiana coal. Macy said, was due primarily to improved marketing preparation of Hoosler coal. Installation of modern machinery at Indiana mines to 'grade and clean coal, he pointed out, had resulted in better coal being offered Indianapolis coal buyers. From 50 to 60 per cent of the coal used in Indianapolis comes from Indiana mines, he said. Bate spring conditions has helped increase the consumption tonnage in Indianapolis, Macy said, but the prices have remained steady. A slight increase is expected for next month, with low ebb prices prevailing in May, he said. More than 1,000,000 tons of coal is handled in the Indianapolis retail
