The experience of Mrs. Pauline Davis, 223 Leota street, Indianapolis. rather clearly indicates the merit of this famous medicine. In a recent talk with the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, Mrs. Davis has this to say: “I suffered for a long time with kidney trouble. Frightful back pains were followed by a severe swelling in my limbs. Rheumatism resulted and I suffered so dreadfully that I could not do my work. I did not rest at night. Constipation added to my discomfort and my general health became so bad that I'was worried and discouraged. “I began to get relief almost from the first bottle of Konjola and a thorough treatment with this great medicine soon cleared up my ailments. My aches and pains soon passed away arid, although it has been about three years since I finished the treatment with this great tonic. I am still singing its praises to all whom I meet.” Konjola is recommended for ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness.

Mor.tj Carlo, lay near the entrance to Tampa channel in the gulf today, in danger, nautically speaking, of being blown on the sands, financially speaking, of going on the rocks. Three coast guard cutters dispatched from the base at St. Petersburg were reported standing by the response calls for aid sent out as the floating casino was en route to Tampa at the end of a tow line, after a hard winter just outside the three-mile limit off St. Petersburg. The vessel was reported waterlogged and it was feared she might go on the sand bars, blocking Tampa channel. Reports ashore were that the Monte Carlo finally

had anchored pad was not In immediate danger. Rumors that Florida state enforcement officers were waiting to board the craft as soon as she entered Tampa harbor were discounted by Ralph Reina, Tampa, operator of the ship, which had on board elaborate gambling equipment for amusement of pleasure seekers in the southland's resorts. “They’d have no cause to seize her,” he reported. “All evidence of gambling equipment was removed from the ship Wednesday morning and put in secret storage.” “We quit operations this winter, because of lack of patronage,” he added. “But we're going to refit her with her gaming tables this summer and tow her to a spot in the Atlantic Just off Atlantic City, where we'll operate again, using speed boats to transfer patrons from shore to ship and ship to shore.” “Those speed boats are now in Tampa in storage, where they'll stay until business picks up in Atlantic City.” Entertainment for Pupils Set Entertainment and a tea for parents and pupils of the Hibben school of dancing and dramatic art will be held Friday afternoon at 5237 Pleasant Run parkway.
