In these buy days of war you owe It to your country --as well as to your- eelf—to keep "in the pink", That's why it's so important to avoid the common type of constipation caused by lack of "bulk" in the diet And do it by getting right at the cause instead of "dosing" with harsh purga- tives that give only temporary relief. Just follow this simple plan. Eat eesLLOGG''S ALL -BRAN- every day t It's delicious as a cereal or in hot; tasty muffins. Drink plenty of water. Then see if you don't agree ALL.l3itAN is the "better way" to natural regu- larity. But remember, eat ALL.BI2AN every day!

Deaehman We are going to examine today a few slogans, take them apart, see 'what is in them, find out eehether they are true or false, is whole or in part . "The world owes everybody a Tang"! The world owes nobody p living. Each new generation is debtor to the past for the ex- ttellent start it gets in life. The only means by which that debt can be repaid is by passing on to those who conte after us a coun- try better, richer, stronger than we found it. That should be the spirit of the age—it is the way et progress .. . "Production should be for use and not for profit." Profit is the Incentive to effort. If we destroy the incentive, something else must be put in its place—otherwise the UNIQUE CHAIR SET Remember the fans of Grand- mother's dancing days?

If we destroy the profit motive, is there anything which could be put in its place except compul- sion? That is the condition in Russia, The law there is, if you do not work, neither will you eat. Similar provision, would have to be made in this country. Under a controlled economy, personal freedom cannot survt e, "A five day week, six hours a day and two weeks holidays with pay, while retaining the present rate of wages, would eliminate unemployment," National income, including the income of those in receipt of sal- aries and wages, depends upon production. This suggestion means a reduction in the total national income—also a sharp increase in rates of pay. How, out of a re- duced national income, can we afford to increase the earnings of the workers and at the same time give employment to more? I leave the question with you. Who has the answer? There is no such thing as holi- days with pay. If all the people of Canada took two weeks holi- days, each year, there would be a smaller total volume of produc- tion; again, out of a smaller total there could Lot be a higher total wage and salary payments. The proposal would end b. a decrease in, the volume of employment. 1 an not opposing holidays for workers but they must be paid for by somebody and in the long run they will. Troops In Italy Buy Victory Bonds Canadians in Italy, given a $1,000,000 objective in their country's Fifth Victory Loan, bought 10,300 bonds worth $1,- 210,600 from October 25 to No- vember 6, it was announced last week. Acres of posters and other advertising helped put the Ioan across. Signs told the troops— "Bonds buy bullets—bonds buy victory—a bond is a ticket home." A wrecked jeep hung frons a crane at a cross-roads, bearing a sign saying bonds would buy a new one. A personal message from the commander at the start of the campaign asked the men to con- sider the advantages of the loan, particularly when the time for individual post-war re-establish- ment came, Officers and troops got into the spirit of the cam- paign and units and higher fore mations vied with one another for the highest totals. This was scored by gunners of a light anti-aircraft unit who subscribed $101,000 and, with gunners in anti-tank and field artillery regiments sub- scribed $267,000. Headquarters personnel, includ- ing senior officers, subscribed $28,000. A busy little mobile bath unit was represented with n total of $700 while tankmen reached $178,000. French-speaking troops sub- aeribed $65,000 more than any other infantry unit, Sweden is using a meat sub- stitute consisting of dry yeast made from cellulose.

Dave sueeeeds, duly to discover that Curran expected the horse to kill itim. A girl named Lois rides . up just as Dave has bit Curran, She is angry with Dave for breaking "leer" horse, She rides off on Black Dawu, and Dave follows, you, Dave, there comes a time in every man's life when he doesn't want to go on living auy more. A pest, that's what Lonergan called me, I reckon he was right, Yes, I remember taking you in as part- nor, and I'ni not sorry for it. But if anything happens to me, I want You t0 take care of Lois. She nev- er had. a chance, poor kid." "You can trust me to do that," answered Dave, looking steadily auto Hooker's eyes. "I know I eau. I know it, boy, I'm an old, drunken pest, but I "It's just the the loneliness, bare—" but she refuses to speak to him, Later, in a bar, Dave pays off a mortgage for au old man named Hooker, who offers him a part- nership. They go to Hooker's ranch where Dave finds that Lois is Hooker's daughter. Lois, still angry, leaves and has not re- turned when Hooker awakes several hours later. "I dreamed my wife came to me and said my troubles would soon be over," Hooker muttered. "I tell can see when a man's to he trust- ed rusted and when he's not. Get her away from here. But there's some- thing I've got to tell you, Dave. I've got the feeling that my time's short " "Steady, old-timer," Dave inter- rupted. "You're just remembering that dream of yores. Dreams don't mean nothing. Of course you can trust me, but don't tell me noth- ing now that you might be sorry for later." "It's not that, Dave.

CLOTHES ARE NO. 1 WORRY "You be the mannequin, Charlie," was what Queen Elizabeth said to this elderly worker in a London clothing depot. The sheepskin coat he is trying onwill go to the Royal Navy. Although clothing is the formost problem of civilians, there is plenty for the military forces. Britain's No, 1 home -front wor• ry today is the clothing shortage. Worry No. 2 is contacting relatives abroad—in the Services and in enemy -occupied territories. Wor- ry No, 3 is about service condi- tions and pity. Worry No. 4 covers family troubles, These havo developed during foto' years of war. Back i.t 11139 chief headaches were: 1, Evacuation billets. 2. Con- scription problems. 3, Uuentploy- meut. 4, Money. As the war has proceeded, of- ficials running England's Citizens' Advice Bureaus have discovered that people's troubles in many in- stances have been completely re- versed, And they should know. In the four years since the war started, 7,500,000 citizens have taken their troubles to the 0,A.B. The first bureaus opened their doors barely one week after Eng- land declared war on Germany, There were less than a dozen of them scattered through the British Isles. Today 1000 bureaus are op. erating. Tile first year the C,A,13. handled 1,000,000 worries, in the second year the figure jumped to 1,750,000, thea to 2,225,000 for the third year, reachiug en imposing total of 2,500,000 in the fourth, Since 1039, millions of workers' concern has switched from the bogey of unemployment to exces- sive demands for their labor. Again, well into 1040, landlords had vacant houses, sometimes even entire blocks of apartments on their hands, Today, unfurnished houses and apartments are practi- cally trnobtahrable, Itents Of fur- nished places are from 100 to 150 per cent higher, and there is wholesale profiteering all along the bne. Concern about missing relatives started with Dunkirk and now the bureaus aro beset by anxious fam- ilies to get news of next-of-kin in the Near and lar Last, and right now; of men who have beery oracle prisoners In Italy. Within the last few mounts the Ci Mans' Advice 'Bureau haya been training people for post-war welfare work, which hrelucles the tracing of relative:.; as well as solv- ing the new kinds of problems which will come with the r'etur'n of men and women in the ac:'ryiees to eivillan life,. been slowly putting two and two together since Lonergan offered. Me and my wife this mesa—ranch, he called it --ail condition we'd bring up Lois as our daughter WA never let her know, I thought site was a natural child of his. But she's not. 9 9 4. "Site found out I wasn't hor Clad nlmest at onto, and that my wife waslt't her mother. You see, shell got a locket with her mother's pho- tograph in it, which we didn't know about, Lois was just old en• ouglt to remember her when we took her from tho orphanage. "Well, I've been trying to piece things together, wily Lonergan wanted nye and my wife to bring Lois here, and why Wilbur Ferris is afraid of him, It all goes balk to the time when Ferris and 131ane Rowland went into partnership in the valley, some fifteen or sixteen Years ago: "Those were prosperous times, and the Cross -Bar was doing well. Rowland and Ferris were both steady, quiet fellows, awl Ferris had brought Rowland West to in- vest leis capital in the Cross -Bar. Then Rowland forged Ferris' name to a joint check for about twenty thousand dollars, on the bank in Hampton, which was to be used for buying stock in Mexico, and skip- ped the country. "I dunno how Lonergan came into the picture. Maybe there was some crooked work all around, but he's got Wilbur Ferris where he wants him now. He's got a mort- gage on the Cross -Bar, and he put Curran in to run things the way he wants them." r * 9 "How d'you come to meet up with Lonergan, if it ain't an tut' pertinent question?" asked Dave. "'Why, I—well, I'd done some- thing I shouldn't have done, and I'd come West. Lonergan was act- ing -sheriff in Mescal at the time, and he recognized me from the description and photograph when I hit Mescal, supposing that it had all been forgotten. It was some- thing I did when I'd been drinking and got desperate. But I couldn't have been all Lonergan says I am, because my wife stuck to me till she died. "Well, Dave, I had to do what Lonergan said, or face a term in the penitentiary. You're the first man I've told that to. So there was I, with my wanderings cut short, and anchored to this place, with my wife and the girl." "Just what was Lonergau's idea, d'you s'pose?" asked Dave. "That's what I'm slowly figuring out, Dave," Hooker answered, "And I don't know either why he tried to put me off this mesa, when I'd never paid a cent to bim all these twelve years, unless it was because I threatened him when I'll been drinking. Maybe I'm just an old pest, lute Lonergan says, but I'm on the trail of something, and Ivo got my own 9 suspicions." That cunning look was in old Hooker's eyes again. He reached out for the bottle. Dave interven- ed, "I guess you've had enough to sober int on, parsner," he suggest- ed. "Why don't you go to sleep now and take one more ilrinit when you wake up, That will set you plumb to rights." "Must have one more," pleaded Hooker. "Then I'll have a good sleep, and wake up feeling fuse. I won't want another drink after that. I'm through with liquor for life, It's 'just the—the loneliness, Dare." He drained the bottle and hand- ed it to Dave, "Well, that's the last of it," he leered, "so you won't need to worry partner. Throw that bottle away somewhere where Lois won't find it, or she'll give me tile devil. You've promised me you'll loop out for her if anything hap- pens to me. And now I'm going to tell you something I've suspected-- something uspected—something that's going to solve the mystery—" The sentence was cut off abrupt- ly by the roar of a six-gun. Smoke and the acrid stench of powder filled the room. Hooker slipped back upon his pillow, the sentence uncompleted, and lay still. Dave saw a little blue spot on his left temple, from which a stream of blood was trickling.
