HELPING THE WORLD FIND THAT POEM Clark and Gillespie Get 500 Poems Together Under One Cover to Aid Those Who Need Them, as Well as Those Who Love ’Em. By WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE is seldom that a week passes that I do not have a call asking me to find the name of a poem that starts so and so. Knowing that it is humanly impossible to keep all of that in one's head and so 1 have relied to great extent upon the accommodating people at the library.

Amg glad to tell you now that Thomas Curtis Clark and Esther A. Gillespie have collected 500 poems under one book cover and have called this collection “Quotable Poems." The compilers announce that they have long felt the need for a book that contains quotable poems, those that have the modern tone as well as deep spiritual qualities, those that express the common needs of people, as well as those that have the fine poetic quality regardless of authorship. The authors have divided the book into four sections. The first 200 pages contain more than 300 poems of the modern tone and all are of a quotable character: the next 100 pages are “Poems for the Great Days of the Year," this part being arranged for the use of ministers and other public speakers: the next section includes “Poems on Immortality" and the fourth section includes an index of first lines, authors and titles. Some time ago, T was asked to give the title of a poem which starts “One ship drives east and another west." I did not know it but this book has it and I find that it is the first line of a poem of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, bearing the title “One Ship Drives East.” One of the most valuable sections of this book is that devoted to poems of the great days of the year. Such poems that are suitable for Armistice Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Columbus Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Mother’s Day, Lent and Easter and the like, are to be found in this section. And you will also find in this book that it contains Rupert Brooke's “The Dead." Which proves how sympathetic modern this book is. “Quotation Poems" is published by Willett, Clark & Colby of Chicago. Here is one book that answers the demand for poetry for about every hour and every mood. Here is one book that will never reach my bookshelf because it will always be near my reading chair at home. People are reading more poetry daily than ever before and “Quotable Poems” will bring new beauty into the lives of those who have this book near them. ~ a it Indianapolis theaters today offer: “East Side, West Side at English's: “The Jest" at Keith’s; all comedy bill at the Lyric; “The Jazz Singer" at the Apollo; “The Patent Leather Kid" at the Ohio; “The Son of the Sheik" at the Colonel; Charles Davis at the Indiana; Pat Leane at the Fountain Square; “Drums of Love" at the Palace and burlesque at the Mutual.

Sick stomachs, sour stomachs and indigestion usually mean excess acid. The stomach nerves are over-stimulated. Too much acid makes the stomach and intestines sour. Alkali kills acid instantly. The best form is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia, because one harmless, tasteless dose neutralizes many times its volume in acid. Since its invention, 50 years ago, it has remained the standard with physicians everywhere. Take a spoonful in water and your unhappy condition will probably end

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is one of the largest units of one of the most important industries of the country —an industry that offers a remarkable record. It is a matter of common knowledge that in the last ten years the price of gasoline has advanced less than that of any other commodity in general use, although the demand for it has increased far more than the demand for any of the others. The supply of gasoline has been furnished when and where it was needed so faithfully that the fact is taken for granted. This record of stability has been made by an industry in which costs of production have risen rapidly 7, in which the investment required and the risks incurred have been extraordinarily great. Within the pa*st dozen years more than $750000,000 was expended in the U. S. in drilling dry holes and $500,000,000 more was put into wells that produced so little oil as to turn the investment into a heavy deficit. These statistics emphasize the achievement of the oil industry in furnishing a complete and continuous supply of petroleum products at comparatively stable prices. The average cost of drilling a well in 1913 was $4,765. The average cost of a well last year was $18,725 —or nearly 300 per cent more. Against this background of rapidly rising costs, consider the stability of the price of gasoline which over the first seven months of 1927 was only 12 per cent more than before the war! This achievement of the oil industry has been made possible by increasing efficiency of operation. Science has been employed to improve methods, reduce waste and eliminate loss. The cost of exploration has been reduced by means of the torsion balance, the seismograph and the magnetometer. Methods have been devised for increasing the recovery of gasoline from the crude oil and from natural gas. The oil industry has made such progress in standardizing the equipment used in the production of oil that according to a government bureau it has advanced more in two years than any other industry in twenty years. Back of the steady stream of gasoline that gives life to millions of motor vehicles is an amazing record of difficulties surmounted, of risks undertaken, of tremendous resources at work. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud to be one of the largest units in the oil industryproud of the part it has played in the great task of supplying the nation with petroleum products. Through the years it has carried on its work steadily and efficiently with benefit to all concerned —employes, stockholders and motorists of the Middle West. By faithful service, this Company has earned the confidence and friendly esteem which it enjoys today. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.

Suffered Years of Misery From Health Trouble “I Strongly Indorse Konjola as a Blessing for Anybody,” Says Local Lady. Another well-known Indianapolis lady who tells about the wonderful work of Konjola in her case is Mrs. Elizabeth Volderauer, 1226 N. Illinois St., Apt. 1., this city. She made the following statement while talk-

MRS. ELIZABETH VOLDERAUI H

—Photo by Northland Studio, Indpls. ing with the Konjola Man at Hooks’ drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting large crowds of men and women who come to hear his personal explanation of this surprising medical preparation. “I suffered years of misery from stomach trouble,” said Mrs. Volderauer. ”1 thought them would never be an end to my suffering. Every bite of food I would eat just laid in my stomach in a mass, like a heavy rock. My food would scur and ferment ( and awful gas pains and bloating would follow. Even a piece of bread and buiter would sour on my stomach. I was subject to belching spells and a hot, bitter liquid would rise in my throat. Cramps in the stomach would nearly make me wild and I would nearly double up with pain. D.-y after day I had that worn-out feeling and never had the ambition to do anything. My whole system was in a weak and rundown condition, but I was at loss to know wnat to do to relieve me of this suffering since none of the other remedies I tried would help me. "Then I began to hear reports about this new Kcnjola and how it had helped others here in Indianapolis. I decided to give this medicine a fair trial. It proved to be exactly what my upset system always needed. My stomach was soon in a more healthy condition .so that I could cat anything I wanted and know the food would digest properly. All the old miseries I used to suffer after meals have disappeared. I am in better health now than I have been in years and I owe it all to Konjola. I will always recommend this mnUcino every chance I get.” Konjola is different from any other known remedy in this section. It contains twenty-two juices extracted from natural plants which invigorate the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels to more healthy action. The effect of Konjcla on the whoie inner-system brings amazing relief in cases of suilering that has been going or. for years. At, the same time, many weak and rundown systems hav.; been restored to anew state of health through this compound. Such a vast number of men ahd women in this city have told of their experience with this new medical product until now Konjola is the most highly indorsed medicine that is known in this vicinity The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store. Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he i* daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is also being sold by all the Hook stores in this city and by all the druggists throughout this entire section!— Ad vertisement. TRY A WANT AD IN THE TIMEsI THEY WILL BRING RESULTS,
