Rosy Cheeks for indoor days Crisp cold air brings a touch of color to every one, but it soon passes unless good health keeps it there. Shredded Wheat is an ideal indoor-weather food. It contains the mineral salts that make healthy red blood and the bran that promotes regular habit even though exercise is restricted. Plenty of nourishment—and easily digested too. Eat Shredded Wheat every morning—a biscuit or two with hot milk for a delicious, vitalizing breakfast. SHREDDED g^ftfHEAT sM iflrifcj WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT THE SHREDDED WHEAT COMPANY

Given Rousing Ovation Lewis, given a rousing ovation after his address Tuesday afternoon, smiled when he read dispatches from Springfield in which Alexander Howat, Kansas union leader, was quoted as declaring the rank and file of the miners’ union has adopted anew constitution and seens only the right to abolish the "moribund leadership and greedy control of John L. Lewis.” The vote placing blame upon District No. 12 un.on leaders for failure of the 1927 strike and the breakdown of the joint wage scale contract for the central competitive field, came on approval of officers’ reports. The committee on officers’ reports declared that in June, 1928, the Illinois executive board held a meeting at St. Louis, Mo., at which the public was informed the Illinois officials were in favor of a wage reduction due to economic conditions. Vote to Change Policy On petition of the Illinois executives, the report sets out, the international executive board convened a policy committee meeting, and the policy committee voted to change the policy to permit district settlements and contracts.

I miners’ demands for a revised scale | made it mandatory on the policy committee to accede to the ifquest,*’ ' the committee reoorted. "Thfre was ! nothing else to do. The bility for disappointment,* jnd economic losses resulting from the change in policy rests squarely upon the officials of District No. 12.” Expulsion of all miners attending the Springfield (111.) rump convention was looked upon as probable. The convention, approving reports of officers, went on record as urging passage of a senate bill providing for licensing of bituminous coal operators and regulation of mine operation. It was the first time in history a mine union convention has advocated such legislation, but legislative action was declared vital by the officers. Ask Senate Aid BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Times Staff Correspondent SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 12. Rebuffed by Indianapolis leaders in their plea for a joint convention of miners under the supervision of the American Federation of Labor, the Springfield reorganization convention today placed Its case before the senate labor committee. "This convention earnestly pleads for the aid cf your committee,” said a telegram sent to Senator Borah of Idaho, ranking Republican member of the committee, and to Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada, :h3irman of the committee on mines. Signed by Alexander Howat, Kansas mine leader and chairman of the convention, the message declared the nation at large would be called upon to share the cost of “the illegal and unconstitutional procedure of the Indianapolis convention.” Adopt New Constitution The Indianapolis convention is composed of delegates selected by Lewis organizers, whose expenses are paid from the international treasury. It has no authority in law or justice to pretend to represent anything but a cruel and mercenary

oligarchy whose only motive is to maintain itself on a lucrative pay roll,” the telegram charged. The rank -and file of the miners’ union, Howat telegraphed the senate committee, have adopted anew constitution and seek only the right to abolish “the moribund leadership and greedy control of John L. Lewis.” “The constitution of *he United Mine Workers of America expired on April 1, 1929,” he said. “It contained no provision by which it might be extended beyond that date without the sanction of an ixiterntaional convention. The convention required by the old constitution to be held in January, 1929, was illegally postponed by Lewis in the face of growing revolt within the ranks. ’’ Lewis Is Flayed Recounting what he described as the “death agonies ’ of the Ohio Miners union since the 1927 strike Oral Daugherty, former Ohio district official, told the convention Lewis twice had blocked efforts of the Ohio officials to settle the strike on terms which would have preserved the organization. “Thousands of oiu - miners are earning less than $3.50 a day and working on an.average of three days a week," he said. “When Lewis took control we had more than 42,000 union members in Ohio. Today we have less than 1,000.” Leaders in the reorganization

MORE EVIDENCE OF RARE MERIT OF NEW KONJOLA Again New and Different Medicine Brings Re * markable Relief From Stubborn Ailments. In the record of Konjola, the new and different medicine, sufferers can find more and more reason for hope as this great compoimd marches on to victory after victory and triumph after triumph.

.r .-mM- Jsm

MR. JOHN REED —Photo by National Studio. Men and women who have taken Konjola—given it a fair tral—in many cases are eagerly Indorsing and praising it, as shown by the testimonial produced here. To give Konjola a fair test, the sufferer 1 should continue with this remark - ! able medicine six or eight weeks. One bottle will last a week, and the cost is small, indeed, for such a worth-while treatment. This super-medicine, of 32 valuable ingredients, strikes at the very source of the ailment, and, as hundreds of men and women of all ! ages have learned, to their everlasting joy, brings relief that is swift and thorough. The experience of Mr. John Reed, age 69, who lives at 443 West South street, Indianapolis, is an added event in support of this claim. The Konjola Man, now at Hook’s Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, will give you all the facts about Konjola. He is not there to make promises but to tell you what Konjola has done, Is dong, and will do. Mr. Reed recently ~aid to the Konjola Man: “For three years I had been in a weakened, run-down condition because of stomach, liver and kidney troubles. It is little wonder that rheumatism, with Its terrible aches and pains, settled in my arms and shoulders. Food did not digest as it should, but lay in my stomach and soured. Gas, bloating and cramping pains caused misery for hours after every meal, I had a burning sensation from my throat to my stomach. I had sharp pains across the small of my back; my | hands felt numb, and I suffered ! with headaches and dizzy spells oci casionally. Naturally, I could not sleep well at night, and lest in weight and strength. “My attention was attracted to ' Konjola by the many sincere endorsements and I wondered If Konjola was the medicine I needed. Well, I was not long in finding out, for, just as I was told it would do, Konjola lost no time in going to work. Within a week I felt ira--1 proved, and in four weeks Konjola : had completely banished every last j one of my ailments. It is, indeed, remarkable how this medicine i stimulated my organs, renewed my : strength and vitality; particularly I so, when my age, 69, is taken into j consideration. And it has been over ! a year since Konjola restored my | health, and not a trace of my for- | mer ailments have returned. Ifc j gives me much pleasure to endorse ' Konjola.” i. That's tbe kind of medicine Konjola i Is . . . . one that Veeps tbe faith; that i l.rifgF result': tli.it makes good.
