HOPE TO HEAR HOOVER SPEAK AT CONVENTION Veterans of Foreign Wars Lay Plans for 29th Convention. The possibility that Herbert Hoover, Republican, presidential nominee, would be the principal speaker at the Twenty-ninth annual national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Indianapolis, Aug. 26-31 gained headway today with the report from Hoover’s speakers bureau that the invitation was being given serious consideration. Although the V. F. W. is strictly nonpartisan, it is thought that Indiana’s reputation as a “doubtful” State in the November election added weight to the consideration of the invitation. With the selection of the personnel of the thirty-eight arrangement committees, and the meeting today of the chairmen at the Chamber of Commerce, preparation for the convention is well underway. D. Burr Jones sounded the keynote of the session when he reported the success of the $15,000 budget drive. The money will provide for the entertainment of 20,000 veterans who will attend the convention. “Although this convention is highly important within the organization,” Jones said, “we owe it to our guests to do everything within our power to make their stay in Indianapolis a pleasant memory.” A distinguished list of members were invited to speak before the convention, and letters of acceptance are being received daily, it is said. Although A1 Smith, Democratic presidential nominee, was invited, it is doubtful that he will accept. A reply to the invitation is expected this week. Senators James E. Watson and Arthur Robinson will speak Aug. 27 before a joint meeting of the Veterans and Ladies’ Auxiliary. Smith W. Bi-ookhart, lowa, a veteran of the A., E. F., will attend the convention. Director Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans’ Bureau; Winfield Scott, United States commissioner of pensions, and several other officials of the Army and Navy will attend. Quartermaster Arrives Robert Handy, Jr., Kansas City, quartermaster general of the V. F. W., arrived in Indianapolis last week for the convention. In commenting on the purpose and history of the organization he said: “The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States resulted from the amalgamation of several societies formed immediately after the Span-ish-American War in 1899. Several groups of soldiers who fought in Cuba and the Philippines banded together in local organizations. “In 1913 at a convention in Denver. Colo., the groups merged into the present organization of V. F. W. Since that time thousands of men who have “served under the American flag on foreign soil have become members,” Handy said. Legion Chief Sails By Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 30. Edward E. Spafford, national commander of the American Legion, and Mrs. Spafford sailed from San Francisco Saturday on the Malolo for Hawaii for an official visit to Legion posts. Spafford will be unable to attend the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Indianapolis the last of August, according to word from V. F. W. headquarters. Spafford will attend Legion conventions in Vermont and New York States in August and will return to Indianapolis Sept. 12.

It contains the juices of 22 roots and herbs and works in Nature's 'own way, invigorating and strengthening the inner organs until tlie sufferer’s health is fully restored in every way. Thousands of local people have already called to see the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Streets, Indianapolis, and hear his personal explanation of this celebrated compound, and vast crowds are still calling every day to find out for themselves what this new medicine will do. At the same time letters of praise and gratitude are coming from men and women all over this section telling how this Konjola has helped them. One of the latest received by the Konjola Man is from Mr. G. T.

I was bothered with frequent night rising and this destroyed my rest every night. Doctors told me I had acid in my kidneys, which resulted in terrible burning sensations in tho bladder As this trouble continued, rheumatism gradually set in and added greatly to my suffering. At times my limbs would get cold and it felt as though a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. The pains kept me in almost constant misery and I could never find anything to help me. In time my stomach, too, became disordered and nearly everything I ate would sour and ferment, filling my system with gas until I was so bloated up I could hardly breathe. “I will frankly admit that I didn't think Konjola would help me at the time I started taking this medicine, but in a few days’ time I noticed such wonderful relief in my stomach that I could realize it was true. As I continued to take this medicine faithfully all the other symptoms disappeared and now my health is back to normal in every way. Konjola worked remarkably fast and In my case, considering my advanced age. My rheumatism is gone entirely and' every trace of kidney trouble has left me. I have new strength and energy and wake up every morning with the feeling that I am glad I am alive.” The Konjola Man is at Hook's Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Streets, Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy Konjola is sold in every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this vicinity.—Advertisement. ■
