WONDERFULLY
Read this voluntary letter: “Jn
Regard to your All-Bran, it is
marked on the package ‘best as a
cereal, best for cooking,’ and, as far
as I am concerned, you might add
best for health. Since I have begun
to eat it, I have improved wonder
fully."—-Mr. H. p. Poole (address
on request),
All-Bran corrects common con
stipation, due to meals low in
"bulk.” Within the body, it absorbs
water, and forms a soft mass,
gently sponging out the system,
All-Bran also supplies vitamin
B to tone UP the intestines, and
iron for the blood. Isn’t this food
better than taking weakening pills
and drugs?
Eat two tablespoonfuls .daily,
either as a cereal with milk or
cream, or in recipes. In chronic
cases, with each meal. Sold by all
grocers. Made arid gauranteed by
Kellogg in London,
Campbell gave the motorboat world
a new international record worth

Prime Minister intimated his Govern
ment was moving steadily to the
point where one nominal license fee,
regardless of the horsepower or cy

made effective, and where the gaso-
