URGES ALL TO TEST KONJOLA Indianapolis Man, Who Suffered for Years, Re- - gained Health and Fifty Pounds. The real test of any medicine is just this: Docs it make good? Does it do the things it is intended to do? Well, seveil million bottles of Konjola were used in two years, and a medicine would have to make good to make a record like that. MR. FRANK HENRY Take the experience of Mr. Frank Henry 2106 East Thirtieth street, this city, as a typical case of this new and different medicine of thirty - two ingredients at work. Think over what he says: consider tvhat Konjola did for him, and then meet the Konjola Man at Hook's Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, and get all the facts about this remarkable compound for the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and for rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. But right now read what Mr. Henry said to the Konjola Man: “I had indigestion for a great many years. Food soured, gas formed and I suffered terrible misery. I lost weight and finally had to give up work. My kidneys became affected; my w back hurt and at night I had to get up seven or eight tlmgs. A bad lirer caused headaches and dlaay spells. My complexion was sallow; dark spots came before my eyes and my bowels were slow to move. I took aeven bottle* of Konjola and every •ymptom vanished. 1 gained fifty pounds since taking Konjola. and that was two years ago. I surely recommend Konjola to any one, for todav 3 consider myself In perfect health.” Konjola 1* not designed to glye mere temporary relief: it 1* not that kind of medicine. Konjola contains no alcohol, bo nerve-deadening drugs, no heary-de-presslng chemicals. The Konjola Man Is at Hook's Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets Indianapolis where dally he is explaining Konjola and its emailng record. —FREE SAMPLES GlVEN——Advertisement *

Landis in Test Case Bennett Case Aired in Federal Court at Chicago. BY J. C. AUSTIN C'ait4 hen Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. o.—Followers of America’s national pastime turned today from consideration of the new type baseball to a Chicago federal courtroom where a question of the supreme power of baseball’s dictator, former Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, has been raised. Although the suit against the commissioner by the St. Louis Browns and the Milwaukee Brewers ball clubs was, in fact, for injunction restraining Landis from interfering with the transfer of Fred Bennett, outfielder, observers saw in the case a test of the commissioner’s authority, which never before had been questioned The suit, brought jointly by the two clubs, was filed because Landis ordered Milwaukee to return Bennett to St. Louis after his most recent farming out last year. At that time, Landis told tne United Press that the order was issued because the continual transfer of Bennett was a violation of the major league constitutional agreement. This empowers the commissioner to declare a free agent any player who is constantly shifted between the leagues. Bennett has been farmed out to Tulsa and Wichita clubs, as well as Milwaukee, and the plaintiffs contend he was a willing party to all transfers.

Up the Trail With Jack

In 1908 Jack Dillon met such prelim boys of the local fight colony as Joe McAree, Jack Laffey, Lem Porter, Tom Lelane, Pat Lark, Kid Brown and Teddy Malone, and showed well in all these bouts. But it was his first meeting with Jimmy Cooley that stamped Dillon as a comer in the minds of local fans. Nate Farb was the engineer of Dillon's destinies at this time and was severely criticised by Dillon supporters for over-matching Jack, but Nate knew his fighters. They met early in 1909 at the old Mitchell Club, then located in Alhambra hall on the comer of South and Illinois streets, and what a battle was staged for the fight-loving crowd that had packed the club’s small dance hall! Cooley had acquired a reputation as a K, O. artist and few were the A. A. U. Swim Event Is Set * Entry blanks have been sent to clubs, colleges and universities in the middlewest for the IndianaKentucky and middle west swimming championships, to be held in the Indianapolis Athletic Club pool Saturday, Feb. 28.

pugs who remained perpendicular once Jim landed with his famous right. , The boys wree fighting on even terms in the early rounds with Cooley’s admirers shouting themselves hoarse for a, knockout. “Kiss him with that right, Jim!” was their plea. And in the third round Cooley did that very thing. He landed as hard a right hand punch on Mr. Dillon’s jaw as ever was blocked by the battered physog of a pugilist in a local ring. But did Jack go down? He did not. He merely shock himself, ana lungtd into Cooley, ripping, tearing., slamming away with both hands to earn himself a well merited victory and the plaudits of crowd. Dillon’s failure to succumb to Jim’s terrific right hand wallop did not prove th/.t Cooley had lost his punch. It plainly showed that Jack was one boy who would stand up under rough going, blessed with a concrete Jaw. Cooley at present is one of the state’s best referees. (To Be Continued.)
