Cooke drected Governor Pin- chot’s giant power survey in 1921, the biggest thing of the kind ever at- tempted. ** By. MORRIS TLEWELLYN COOKE Noted Expert on Electric Rates (Written for NEA Service) Since the public has been com- monly aware of the slight cost of gen- erating electricity, utility companies have emphasized the alleged high cost of distribution. “Oh, yes,” one hears. “We could afford to furnish the current for nothing. What costs is distributing Corwin: : it—getting it to the place where the _e consumer wants to use it.” I have undertaken to prove, in a number of ways which I have out- lined, that there is nothing to this statement. “WAN, youn eey WAMT'in cates ‘ly. bssauin tht “Qbétin ackcee me to take a rest.” For a use of 360 kilowatt | where the average domestic consumer | the party are Colonel E. 8.

BLANQUART Don't guess nor wonder about Kon- jola; get all the facts about this amazing medicine and its record from the Konjola Man, who is at the Hall Drug Store, Third and Broadway, this city. Hear of any number of cases like that of Mr. T. O. Blanquart, First street and Ninth avenue, Cedar Rap- ids. Yet his experience, though typi- cal of Konjola at work, is just one of tens of thousands wherein Konjola has proved its merits after all else tried had failed. Let the Konjola Man point out the actual, verified cases of Konjola victories. Facts are what sufferers need and want, not Promises and pledges. Konjola is recommended solely on its record. Konjola is supreme over the com- mon ills of the stomach, liver and bowels, and over rheumatism, neuri- Founviace tis and nervousness. Wherever it has ansemiey, bar: been put to the test Konjola has f w | proved this supremacy, just as in the case of Mr. Blanquart, who gave the following testimonial: “What surprised me most about Konjola was the speed with which it went to the very source of the trou- bles I had endured for. two years, In matter how little I ate, gas and pain| followed. I had no te, Pain. would last for days at a time. T foray Oe may. oe er heard and read about the wonderful results that were obtained week. In short, four bottles of this wonderful medicine ended -my indi- gestion; no more biliousness and head- ‘aches. My bowels function regularly. The rheumatic pains in my lower limbs and the swelling have ceased. I sleep soundly throughout the night; em ing in strength and energy day, and have gained three pounds in weight.” So it goes; the same splendid story of success whenever Konjola is given the chance to show why it is the most erously praised medicine in America.
