HAS NEW HEALTH AGAIN AND GLAD SHE GOT KONJOLA Young Indianapolis Lady Says This Medicine Gave Her New Lease on Life. ,KonJola has brought abundant health to so many rundown men and women of Indianapolis that almost one person in every third family of the entire city has taken this surprising new medicine, and nearly a thousand grateful testimonials—all
MISS MILDRED FLOYD
from people of Indianapolis and vicinity—have come to the Konjola Man who is at the Hook drug store Pennsylvania and Market Streets, this city, meeting large crowds in person each day and explaining this medicine. One of the latest indorsements cf Konjola came from Miss Mildred Floyd, a popular young Indianapolis lady, living at 1416 Roache St.: “This medicine certainly has given me new health,” said Miss Floyd. “I am glad that I gave it a trial and equally glad to indorse it. “Not long ago I had a nervous breakdown, which left my system in a very upset condition. I was badly rundown and had the same tired feeling day after day. When I arose in the mornings I felt like I had no rest at all. Headaches would come ovor me almost every day and last for hours at a time. I had to be careful with my diet in order to avoid having indigestion. Many things I ate would cause terrific pains 1 n my side. “I had been taking many tonics and other medicines, but nothing t ,would build me up, and I feared that if I would be taken sick my system would never be strong enough to pull me through. Finally a friend of mine almost insisted that I try Konjola, and I must say that this medi cin certainly reached my case. I took two bottles and seem to feel like a different person entirely, with a new lease on life. I am entirely free of heatfMbM and never have a touch of indigestion. My nerves are stronger and I get restful sleep at nights. During the entire day I have new energy and never become tired like I used to. “I can certainly recommend Kon.iola, and will never hesitate to tell others about It.” The Konjola Man Is at Hook's drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where tie 1* daily meeting tne local public and Introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold >n every Hook drug store In this city.—Advertisement. . ' : ■• *. -• . r'' * • \

COUNTY SIGNS , STRIPPED OFF 7 OFFICIAL CARS ‘Tag Order’ Is Disregarded by Several; Investigation Is Indicated. County officials do not seem to relish driving high and low-priced automobiles with twelve red letters, spelling the words ‘‘Marion County,” inscribed on the body. At least three of them do not seem to favor it, and have removed the inscription. The car used by Henry Campbell, county surveyor, a Buick; a Ford sedan, also used in his office, and County Road Superintendent Luther Tex’s Dodgeautomobile are devoid of the words. Removal of the words has been made recently, and this action has tended to spoil the paint on the' cars. One of them has ugly discoloration streaks on each side. Only the star license plate identifies the machines to the public. Use Paint Remover According to word at the garage, the brand was removed from one of the autos before it was dry. The others, regular paint jobs placed on by an Irvington painter employed for the purpose, have been taken with paint remover. The painter was paid $5 for each job. Seven cars, including those, mentioned, were painted. The order for carrying the identification was started several months a,go by county commissioners, after it was revealed that some county autos were being used outside of business hours for ‘‘joy riding.” With this came the order that the gasoline supply furnished by the county also should be checked. Since the signs have been removed a garage attendant said the surveyor’s car sometimes does not appear more than about once a week. County Commissioner Charles O. Sutton laughed when he was asked, about the situation and said knew nothing of the matter. Commissioner George Snider, fa-* ther of the ‘‘inscription order,” said he was going to look into the situation.
