All police restrictions over the east side devasted area were lifted today and pedestrian and auto traffic was permitted to move at will.

Thousands See Ruins Thousands flocked to the area Sunday to view the storm ruins. Traffic was permitted on Washington and New York Sts., and on State and Rural Aves., but was barred from the north and south streets between State and Rural. Pedestrians however, were permitted on the cross Streets. With 270 out of a possible 500 cases demanding relief in the storm stricken area, cared for, the Red Cross executive committee ordered continuation of the temporary relief work. All cases in which relief is needed should be brought to the attention of Red Cross workers at the relief station 2325 E. Washington St., it was urged. Officials said they did not believe the situation will necessitate a special appeal for contributions. Area Improved So far all expenses of the Red Cross work have been taken care of by the regular fihuls in the treasury of the local chapter. Rehabilitation work in the area goes on and the territory is rapidly assuming an orderly appearance. Many houses will have to be torn down entirely and the debris in these places is being taken care of while carpenters and other workmen go about the work repairing buildings which were not entirely destroyed. Public utility conveniences are practically restored. Injured Man Dies Ike Edwards, 721 N. New Jersey St., died this morning at Methodist hospital from injuries sustained when he fell from a roof on which he was working on May 17.

MRS. CARRIE L. MILLER

1321 Brookside Ave., Indianapolis, during a conversation just a few days ago with the Konjola Man, who is personally explaining this celebrated new medical compound to large crowds daily at the Hook's Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts. “I had been suffering a long time with rheumatism and stomach trouble,” said Mrs. Miller. “Whenever I ate I was sure to have indigestion afterward. My food always formed acid, causing gas bloating and shortness of breath. Many times my heart seemed to jump and flutter. I was subject to dizzy spells, like I was going to faint. But most of my suffering was caused by rheumatism. Sometimes my entire body was a solid mass of aches and pains. For days at a time I couldn’t leave the house. My nerves were shattered, and things which never bothered the average person would upset me entirely. I couldn't sleep at night, because of indigestion pains and miserable rheumatism. “I seemed to be getting worse all the time and was never able to find a medicine that would help me. I began to hear about Konjola and everybody spoke well of this new medicine. I decided to make the test and Konjola turned out to be just what I was needing. Now I am entirely well and free of rheumatism. The pains and aches are gone and I feel better in many other ways. My stomach never gives me any trouble and I eat what 1 want. The dizzy spells do not mine ar.d my nerves are stronger. 1 sleep good and feel like working in the mornings. “There is no doubt that Konjola has made me feel like a different person entirely and I know I can indorse this medicine to everyone.” The Konjola Man is at look’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold in every Hook drug store in this city and all druggists throughout this section.—Advertisemenit.

YOUTH TRIES IN VAIN TO FIND HIS MEMORY

Identification of an amnesia victim, whose memory lapsed Friday afternoon, was sought today by police and city hospital authorities. ' The victim, about 21, Is unable so remember his name or that of his home town. The only recollection he has is that he was en route to some place to play baseball. “My memory goes back to Friday, when I ate dinner on the Monument Circle. After I left the restaurant, I became slightly sick and leaned against a telephone pole,” he said. Only Thing Familiar “The circle is the only thing that looks familiar. The streets and street cars are not natural. I know I was going some place to play baseball, but I don’t remember how I got here. “The only thing that is clear to me is a mental picture of my baby. She Is small and has light hair. If I could see her I think I would know who I am. I don't believe my home is in Indianapolis. “I have no idea what even my wife or parents look like. It certainly would be a relief to see some onp I know and get out of here,” he said. Trying to Remember Police sent him to city hospital Saturday night when he asked aid at police Friday night at the Union Station “trying to remember who I am” Police found no identification on clothing except the initials J. F. S., on a gray hat with a colored band, and a torn telegram. He carried a medal of St. Teresa in his watch pocket, but was unable to recall where he got it.

You and I procured the needed whisky from friends who were secretly preserving l it for just such anticipated emergencies in their own households, risking', all the while, discovery and imprisonment because of such mere possession. We had a natural right, indeed a supreme duty, to save the lives of our dear ones by any means available, just as the lowliest and poorest citizen has a right equally precious to him and a duty no less compelling. No government ."id no law can justly interfere with that- right and that duty. The national government and the national prohibition act recognize that right and duty. The government of the State of Indiana and her prohibition statutes do not. Indeed, they have expressly made it unlawful for anyone to possess whisky for any purpose whatever, so that no Opportunity exists for anyone to procure reliable whisky for medicinal needs, regardless of the emergencies. Every humane consideration requires that statutory provision be made whereby reliable whisky may he procured in emergencies of serious illness when attending physicians prescribe it as in indispensable medicine. A carefully guarded provision of this character will strengthen even the law against the use of whisky for beverage purposes, in* that the respect of many will thus he restored for that law who now view it as unreasonable because of its effect as herein shown. Your consideration of the suggestion herein made is, therefore, earnestly solicited in behalf of the whole people. Very respectfully yours, (Signd) ARTHUR L. GILLIOM, ALG:EB Attorney General.

You Can Easily Avoid the Depressing Effects of the Changing Season. In the Spring, many people find themselves losing appetite, are overcome by a lack of energy, and a rundown feeling takes possession of their whole body.

At this time, the energies relax, and an unspeakable languor pervades the entire system, giving that worn-out. good-for-nothing feeling, so commonly called ‘'spring fever.” The important thing, therefore, is

CITY TO OBTAIN RENTED COLISEUM To Buy Site and Lease Building, Decision. Mayor Duvall today announced that the city has decided to buy a coliseum site and permit a private corporation to build a huge down* town building. The building would be leased to the city and controlled by a board of governors, which Duvall will name soon. Duvall at one time favored the plan whereby the city would erect the structure, declaring money could be saved under that plan. The plan was abandoned because of the heavy financial strain on the city. A bond issue of about $1,000,000 will be necessary to purchase a downtown block for a site. The building will cost about $2,000,000, Duvall said. Several sites are considered but none has been selected.
