AL WILL REPLY TO STRATON IN DIVINPSPULPIT Unusual Word Battle to Be Staged, Probably in Calvary Baptist. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Governor Alfred E. Smith will defend his record and fitness for office against one of the country’s best-known 'Baptist clergymen in joint debate in a Protestant church next month, it appeared probable today. Smith challenged Dr. John Roach Straton, who attacked his record, to debate the issue, and Straton has accepted formally. The clergyman sent his letter of acceptance to the Governor Thursday night, and Smith will receive it when he returns from the Brennan funeral in Chicago. Debate Is Unique While Dr. Straton expressed a preference for Madison Square Garden as the scene of the debate, instead of Calvary Baptist Church, of which he is the pastor, friends of the Governor believed Smith would insist on giving his answer in Calvary Church, where the attack on him was made. Political observers here regarded the debate as unique In American politics. Straton in a sermon had called Smith the country’s "deadliest foe of moral strength and true political wisdom.” The Governor returned a prompt and warm challenge, and it was believed he would take a second opportunity to outline his personal and political creed, as he did last winter in a letter to Louis B. Marshall, New York lawyer. Grabs Opportunity The Governor had been preparing, it was understood, to defend his record against the attack of William Allen White when the Kansas editor withdrew the most objectionable parts of his criticism. The Stfaton sermon apparently gave the Governor an opportunity he was willing to seize. The Governor asked Straton, in “the spirit of American fair play,” to be permitted to answer him in Calvary Church, where the sermon was delivqjed. In his letter written Thursday night. Straton said: “I definitely accept your challenge and will certainly meet you, God willing, face to face.” Straton then suggested that only a fraction of those desiring to hear the debate could be accommodated in his church, and offered Madison Square Garden as an alternative. “Rest assured, however,” he continued, “that I will certainly meet you, as I judge ypu to be a reasonable man, so even If it has to be in Central Park, I shall give you an example of the ‘American fair play,’ that you request.

INDIANAPOLIS MAN REJOICES SINCE TAKING KONJOLA Says Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble Had Weakened His Whole System. Konjola is now being accepted by the people of Indianapolis and all nearby towns as a medicine of proven merit and unlimited value in relieving the common disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys and

bowels, or rheumatism ayd neuritis. It contains the juices of 22 roots and herbs and works in Nature’s own way, invigorating and strengthening the inner organs until the 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. Wright, 342 Parkway Street, Indianapolis. "I have improved so much since taking Konjola that I feel I can help others by telling what this medicine did for me," said Mr. Wright. "It is the best medicine that ever entered my home and I rejoice to think that after several years of suffering I found a medicine to give me lasting relief. “A stubborn case of kidney trouble caused my whole system to become very much rundown. I was bothered witfh 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 the 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. V “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 find 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
