BUSINESS BOOM SIGNS LACKING SAYSOBSERVER Better Showing Forecast for Fall; No Indication of Depression. “There are no signs of either a bdom or depression in national business, and it is expected the remainder of this year will see a normal volume of trade on a profitable basis,’’ is the prediction of Charles F. Benzel, director of the Indianapolis division of the Indiana University bureau of business research, in a report for the Indiana Business Review of the Fletcher American Bank. “Business promises to make a better showing this fall, already having passed the low point of midsummer sag in activity,” Benzel stated. General business in Indiana during August recovered, from the midsummer slackness and according to leading indexes was 6.5 better than during July, he said. Production Goes Up Indiana coal, tsone, automobile told automobile accessory produc■on, wholesale dry goods sales and new car and gasoline sales increased more than 10 per cent in August, compared to July. Other lines which increased were electricity production, department stores sales, livestock receipts, advertising, employment in metal trades shops, freight car loadings and postal receipts. Pig iron production, blast furnace activity, building contracts, bank debits, deposits of correspondents banks, chain drug stores and life insurance sales decreased. “The August advance was not regular in all lines, but the figures reveal the first signs of the autumn increase generally experienced in production and trade,” Benzel continued. Employment Decreases “Naturally the midsummer decline in industrial activity occasioned a corresponding decrease in employment, which continued into August,” says Benzel, “but the building industry still was a sustaining factor, however, construction work continuing to absorb more than the usual amount of surplus labor. “Employment in the iron and steel industry remained at July levels, but some seasonal improvment is looked for in the near future. There still is a surplus of'labor in the western part of the State, although mines employing several hundred workers have reopened n the last month.” |UYS FAMOUS PAINTING E. R.

Dr. Wiley, who is 83, and still going strong, said he hopes to get something to revive the law by the time he reaches the century mark. “There’s nothing the matter with the law just as it stands,” Wiley said, “but the people who are suppored to be enforcing it have gutted it by making all kinas of exceptions to its application in particular cases. “The result,” he said, “is that alum, benzoate of soda, saccharin and many other harmful substances are being used in food products with impurity.” Charges Grease Menace Bu Times Special GARY, Ind., Sept. 27.—Several times during his married life William Crosby awoke to find his wife in the act of pouring hot grease upon him, he alleges in a suit for divorce from Estella Crosby.

NEURITIS PAINS VANISHED SINCE SHE GOT KONJOLA Relieved Almost at Once, She Says, General Health Also Improved.

‘I enjoy such fine health since Konjola has ended my awful neuritis suffering that I can hardly realize I am the same person, and this wonderful new medicine has also cleared up a case of stomach trouble and nervousness for me, so I am glad to indorse Konjola and praise it to others who suffer," said Mrs Tina Scotten, well-known In-

TINA SCOTTEN dianapolis lady, living at 625 Collins St., this city, while talking a few days ago with the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where crowds are calling daily to hear him explain this surprising new medical compound. “I had suffered from neuritis almost four years,” continued Mrs. Scotten. “No one knows the agonies I had to endure. My nerves were in a very bad condition, and I was troubled with nervous indigestion. My stomach was badly disordered and I was having headaches. But neuritis was my worst trouble. The pains seemed to go all over me, and at times I felt like the pains had reached my heart. When I finally got over these spells I would be so short of breath that I had to gasp for air “Well, I had been doctoring for this trouble for a long time, and finally I was told that no more could be done for me. I was a very discouraged and downhearted person. A certain lady who knew my condition came to me and said Konjola would help me. I had no idea this medicine would completely end my troubles, but in a short while the* neuritis pains had vanished, and have never come over •Tie again. At the same time I felt \ change in my stomach. The indicstion pains were gone and- my icrves eased up so that I could enjoy sound, restful sleep. All of this great relief seemed to come at once. I felt a great change in myself almost like magic. Now I could safely tell any one that I never had a sicic day in my life, and they would believe it, except my friends, who knew the condition I was in, and now I suppose a great many will be surprised to know that I am again enjoying my health. “I don’t think auy one could praise Konjola too strongly, because I know what wonderful work this medicine can do, and I am more than thankful.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s ")rug Store, Illinois and Washingin Sts, Indianapolis, where he daily " meeting the public and introducng and explaining the merits, of this remedy.
