LOCAL MAN TELLS OF A REMARKABLE CASE OF RELIEF Nearly Helpless From / Rheumatic -Kidney Troubles; “Konjola Was a Blessing,” He Says. “This new Konjola medicine has given me the first real relief from my health troubles since I began to suffer in 1918. I’ve tried nearly every form of medical aid and special treatments, all without results,

but your Konjola compound seemed to go at once to the very seat of my trouble, and so I think it is' no more than right that I indorse this medicine to the public," said Mr. Charles L. Waisner, well kriown Indianapolis citizen, living at 435 East New York Street, this .city, while talking reecntly with The Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Streets, Indianapolis, where crowds a,re calling daily to find out about this surprising new medicine. “I got so bad I had to quit work In 1922,” continued Mr. Waisner. "For several years I was foreman t for a large Kokomo glass company where I had charge of 136 men, continually working in chemicals and walking on a tile floor. My feet became affected so that my toes would cramp, and finally those burning, aching pains seemed to work up into my limbs as the months passed, until I got so bad that the misery centered In my hips, arms shoulders, neck and head. These pains got so terrific I could hardly stand It, and at all times my body was just a feolid mass of aches. Night after night I was unable to sleep until near morning, because these pains Would get the best of me and would keep me awake rubbing myself and trying to get my limbs straightened. I couldn't use a cane or crutch for my hands and arms were beyond control, and for six months I had to depend on furniture and chairs to get around the house. For over a year I never dared to go out alone. "During these years of suffering I had blood tests, spinal treatments, special medical attention, mineral baths, and yet my case was a puzzle. I about concluded it was rheumatic and kidney troubles combined, for my rest was broken at night on account of weakened kidneys and black spots would appear before by eyes during the daytime and my back ached constantly. "I will tell you the truth that I never expected Konjola, or anything, to help me, because I got pretty bad, but let me say that your compound helped me at once, and while I ..took only a short course I am completely free of every ache and pain from all parts of my body. I was surprised and now everybody I know is talking about the way I have been relieved and how I am getting around. My legs are a little weak yet, hut they seem to get stronger each day. I sleep and eat fine, so that is why my strength is coming back so fast. The kidney trouble is actually ended, for I never get up at nights and the spots don’t appear before my eyes and I don’t get dizzy. But you might know how happy I have been since the aches and pains left my system. Why, my flesh used to be so tender and sore that I couldn’t be touched, but this is all relieved now, and I tell you Konjola was a blessing, for I gave up everything else when I started on your medicine and I repeat that it has given me the only real relief I have had for years. Konjola has been worth more than any praise I can give it, but I only want to make this statement for the benefit and help it may bring to others.” The Konjola Man is at Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Streets, Indianapolis, where he Is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.

Ward Writes Burlesque Interview of Himself

(Editor’s Note) —Christopher Ward, author of “Lady Into Goose,’’ and other famous books of parodies, has written a burlesque interview with himself which was sent to this department by Harper & Brothers.) By Christopher Ward I found Christopher Ward plowing one of the fields of his 10,000 acre ranch in the mountains of northern Delaware. A tall rangy man of uncertain age and temper, his broad shoulders bowed by age and sorrows, he is. indeed, a fine specimen of our fast vanishing stock of hardy pioneers. A patriarchal beard concealed many of his features. “Are you Christopher Ward?” I asked. “Yes,” said he, eyeing me keenly. “Are you?” “I am,” I answered. "Alas,” said he brushing from his broad forehead the dust of centuries. “Ain’t that terrible!” His black eyes gleamed defiance. “Perhaps you would like to examine my beard,” he added, handing it to me courteously. “It is a genuine antique—formerly Brigham Young’s—l got It from a member of his family for a mere song. You wouldn’t believe how mere, ‘Annie Laurie,’ it was,” “That team, now,” he continued, pointing to the plow horses. “Well bred. Part Arab and part horse—but I’m not sure which part. A spanking pair of bays, they are. Would you like to see them spank? No? Isn’t that sad?” The snow was eddying around us in eddies. “Do you usually plow in the snow?” I asked*. “Why not?” he .asked anxiously, “Isn’t it done? I thought it might get the agricultural vote. Ought I to be pitching hay? My God! man, I haven't any. Not a single hay. told the florist to send up two dozen of the very best hays, and they haven’t coyie. But I’ve got a good sap-bucket, he added hopefully. “Will that do?” He wiped the sweat ofjigony from his brow with his horny hand and dried it on the tail of the off horse. “The end justifies the means,” he said simply. “Come, we'll have tea on the lawn.” Stretched in a long wicker chair, his slender legs encased in white flannels, with a pipe in his hand, he looked the picture of the English novelist. “How old are you?” A deep shadow settled on his

countenance as he faced the intruder. His finger nervously felt the trigger of his six-gun. “Yes,” he said at length. In measured tones. “Were you ever educated?” “Well, hardly ever. I mean, not frequently. Once or twice, perhaps.” The man seemed to be brooding over some fancied wrong. His blue eyes met mine with perfect frankness. “I did graduate—or was graduated —have It your own way,” he moodily continued. “At Williams College—there she stands—and at Harvard Law School—there she stands.

that doesn’t count, does It?” he asked anxiously. “It was such a little one—and I was so young. Besides,” he added defiantly "It’s barred by the Statute of Limitations.” “Have you ever practiced law?" “Oh yes, yes,” re replied, airily. "For the last twenty-eight years. You notice I say ‘last,’ That’s important. ‘Law,’ ” he added reminiscently. “Strange how a word like that sticks in one’s memory. I suppose it is. a relic of a previous existence.” “Where were you born? “No!” he thundered. He let go the steering-wheel in his excitement. The car swerved to the right, crashed into a rugged gnarled old rose bush. We were both instantly killed. “What are your politics?" The deep boom of the surf on a lee shore resounded in our ears. He shifted his quid, took a reef in his trousers, and, leaning lazily on the tiller, said: “Tuesday, isn’t it? Oh, then Republican—also Democrat with Prohibitionist tendencies. lam strong for the Volstead act —too strong, I may say. Will you have x Scotch or rye? I am also,” he added, “a K. K. K., a Knight of Columbus and a member of the Sons and Daughters of I Will Arise.” Hi3 strongly marked African features broke into a wide-mouthed grin. “Yas, suh! Yas, suh!

Please don’t quote me on that subject.” “Will you tell me about your books?” “My books. Ah, my books!” He sprang from his chair, paced to and fro in agitation, while his pet dog affectionately licked his boots. His features worked nervously. His Celtic origin was writ large on his expressive face. “There they are,” he murmured softly, as with a wide gesture of defiance he indicated the full shelves walling his library. "Look at them! Is there anything there to be ashamed of, Got wot?”

Metropolitan papers please copy.” "Is that all?” The man’s drawn white features twitched nervously under the glare of the electric light as he stared into the grim face of the ruthless inspector of police.

Springtime streamed In through the open windows. The green fields of Georgia were basking in the sunshine, Somewhere a bird was trilling. It was a day to be happy. But the pale woman at the table sighed and pushed away her plate. Nothing tasted right. She couldn’t eat much. She couldn’t sleep well, either. She was so weak, it was hard to do her work. When the baby cried, 3he wanted to cry, too. She had not been well for four years. 1 Her husband watched her with a man’s helpless expression. But his mother knew a remedy.
