JOURNEY IN LAND OF CHRISTMAS BOOKS Answering Many Requests for a List of Holiday Gift Reading for Members of the Entire Family as a Help to Santa Claus. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Have been asked to make a little journey in the Land of Christmas books. Each year this department lias been asked to list, in the opinion of*the writer, a number of books suitable for Christmas gifts.

This year, many of the letters and telephone calls received have requested me to make known my list at least four weeks before Christmas so as to aid early Christmas shopping. So we will take our little journey ,of recommendation today instead of waiting any longer. Please bear in mind that this selection is entirely my own and based upon my reading and acquaintance with books. There are many people who buy Christmas books on the grounds that they are recent publications. Among the newer books, I recommend the followingq for gifts to the adult fiction reader: * “Adam and Eve,” by J. Erskine; the women will love this one, especially wives. “Dusty Answer,” by Lehman; rather sensational in one spot; dealing with the life of English young men and their girls. “The Grandmothers,” by Glenway Wescott; probably the only novel of the year which has the right to be seriously considered as a great. American novel. “Death Comes For' The Archbishop,” by Willa Cather; a marvelous pageant showing the growth of religion in the Southwest. “Gentlemen March,” by Roland Pertwee, which I liked mighty well When I reviewed it for you. “ Witch Wood,” by John Buchan; wonwr ME WHEN I HAD GIVEN UP NOPE” Celebrated Medicine Ended Her Health Troubles After Everything Else Failed. “A few months ago I never thought I would be making this public statement because I felt that nothing would ever make me well again, but Konjola helped me when I had given up hope and I made up my mind to tell every one about

the wonderful work of this medicine in my case. This grateful statement was made in a report received just a few days ago from Mrs. Nellie Drickell, wellknown resident of Indianapolis, living at 237 E. Pratt St., this city. It was given in person to the Konjola Man at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is explaining this remarkable medicine to crowds daily. , “I had a severe case of stomach trouble and I had to live on a strict diet for a long time. There were only a few foods that agreed with me, and even these would cause me all kinds of misery. Never did I feel comfortable after eating. Undigested food would sour, gas formed and would bloat me up something awful, a hot bitter liquid would rise in my throat, causing a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach and the indigestion pains were sometimes more than I could stand. Along with this,. I suffered a great deal with my kidneys. Dull, aching pains would strike me in the small of my back and when I would sit , down for a while, it was all I could do to straighten myself. My liver was very sluggish and inactive and I was always taking laxatives of some sort. At night I would often wake up on account of nervousness. I never slept well at night, and in the morning I always felt tired and achy. “This was my condition when I started taking Konjola and it turned out to be exactly the medicine that my upset system needed. My stomach was soon in good condition again. I began eating anything that was put before me and I never suffered any of the old miseries afterward. My kidneys have been restored to a healthy condition and the dreadful pains in my back have disappeared. I have been entirely relieved of constipation and I don’t know what it is to take laxatives anymore. My nerves are stronger and I never wake up in the night, but sleep straight through until morning and get up feeling fine. “Konjola is a remarkable medicine and a wonderful system builder. Whenever I meet a friend, or some one I know who is suffering I tell them about this new remedy." The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is being sold by all the best druggists in all towns throughout, this entire section.—Advertisement.

a serious attempt to capture the atmosphere of Scott. For the adult reader who is serious. “White Hands,” by Arthur Stringer, a story of how a father tried to conquer a daughter. My non-fiction list for the adult reader is as follows: Carl Sandburgh’s “Abraham Lincoln,” unnecessary to comment on this one. “The Glorious Adventure,” by Richard Halliburton, the gayest account of adventure and travel eyer written as far as I know. “GerUleman John Burgoyne,” by F. J. Hudleston, a story of the adventures of an English general during the Revolutionary War- “ The Happy Pilgrimage,” by Cora Harris, one of the delightful explosions of mental travel I have read recently. Any of the books of verse of William Herschell, especially “The Smile-Bringer.” “What Can a Man Believe,” by Bruce Barton. Stands by itself in this class of thinking. “Paris on Parade," by Robert Forrest Wilson, a very human account of humans in Paris. “We,” by Charles A. Lindbergh, a charming gift for those who love real heroes. Especially suited for men. “Count Luckner; Sea Devil,” by Lowell Thomas. A good account of an Interesting foreign “hero” of the war. “The Story of Philosophy,” by Will Durant. A great gift at any time of the year. These two lists for adult readers, in my opinion, makes at least a satisfactory start toward making a merry Christmas of readings for all adultsI will give my children’s list later on. n n a Indianapolis theaters offer today: Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People” at the Little Theatre Playhouse; “Abie's Irish Rose” at English’s; Rahmen Bey at Keith’s; vaudeville at the Lyric; “The Road to Happiness” at the Colonial; “The Magic Flame” at the Indiana; “Breakfast at Sunrise” at the Circle; “The Road to Romance” at the Ohio; “The Spotlight” at the Apollo; burlesque at the Mutual, and movies at the Isis, saw Pupils of Mrs. Naomi Gray will give a piano recital Wednesday, Nov. 30, at 8 p. m., at the Englewood Christian Church, Rural and E.

Many receive as low as SBO a month for an eight-hour day. Charwomen In Washington are working on their knees on a part-time basis and are receiving a total income of only S4O a month.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

URGES CITIZENS FINANGEPARTY Judge Garvin Tells Women Honest Funds Needed. The good people of Indianapolis must pay, if the city is to be purged or political corruption, Municipal Judge Thomas Garvin told the Indianapolis Council of Women at luncheon at the All Soul’s Unitarian Church Tuesday. “Let the good people who do not want favors contribute to party campaigns, rather than have the corruptionists, who must be paid, meet expenses,” Garvin said. “Raise the money honestly, give it honestly and receive honesty in return. This is the outstanding relief for a situation that i becoming more serious every campaign and may unexpectedly overtake us in disastrous form.” Criminal Judge James A. Collins explained workings of the Indiana probation system, of which he was the originator. He declared that he hoped soon to see a law in effect in Indiana providing pay for dependents for the work of prisoners. Deputy Prosecutor William H. Sheaffer explained duties of the grand Jury, characterizing that body as “the port to Criminal Court.” Newcastle Show Opens NEWCASTLE, IndJ Nov. 30.
