Nearly all our family suffered from constipation. Our friends suggested pills and powders, but relief was only tem- porary. Now we eat ALX.-saAN •regularly and recommend it to our friends." Instead of waiting until you suffer and then dosing yourself with harsh purgatives, try • ALL -BRAN'S "Better Way" to correct the cause of constipation due to the lack of the right kind of "bulk" in the diet. Eat it daily and drink plenty of water, but remember, ALL-BRA1 doesn't work like a cathartic; it takes time.

JACK SS MAIL Adapted from the Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer Picture by H A L S E Y RAINES SYNOPSIS: Abandoning at least temporar- ily his career as vagabond and horse thief when Clementine Tucker, a reformer who runs a naaloon to pay her deceased uncle's debts, gets hold of him, "Just" Maggot is stumped. Defending himself in a saloon duel, he has killed Red Gargan, an outlaw. Now Tommie, Red's ten -year-old con, who doesn't know how his father was slain, asks Baggot to allow him to live with him and help with the mule -pack mail, which Baggot runs for Miss Tucker. Reluctantly, Baggot ac- cedes. CHAPTER FOUR Baggot and Tommie hit it off Strom the start, as Clementine sometimes accompanied them on their mail delivery trips. The gruff, more or less inarticulate plainsman and the bright-eyed Youngster were exchanging les- sons within a week. Baggot taught Tommie how to draw a bead without raising the gun much. above the hip. Tommie, in re- turn, provided reading instruc- tion. Baggot grumbled something about the foolishness of an old :horse being taught new tricks, but he was nevertheless secretly proud of his growing mastery of the rudiments of "book larnin';' Two things, in Baggot's estima- tion, were very bad. Clementine vas saving his money for him, against his will, while neither be- fore Tommie nor Clementine could he indulge his fondness for a good stout nip. Finally he carne to the point of slipping away to Miguel O'Sullivan's shack when he wanted something of this sort. O'Sullivan's whiskey bottle was always on the table; but the Cas- tilian Irishman had other thoughts than casual hospitality in his mind. He had hinted before — now he hinted again — how easy it would be to hold up the mule - pack mail "But you know you couldn't rob that mail wagon without Tom- mie knowin"'bout it," protested Baggot. "Ah!" said O'Sullivan, winking slyly, "that part ees simple. Over the face I put the bandana and I am the bad man who hold up you and the mail." "An' I guess you figger I'd hand over the gold and let you go skootin' off with it," demurred Diaggot, whose scruples had noth- ing to do with such ethical ques- tions as property ownership. "But in Sacramento City we would meet together," went on O'Sullivan hastily. "You see, amigo, it would be easy! And tomorrow they make up the beeg shipment of most one hundred pounds for you to take." "That's near thirty thousand dollars!" whistled Baggot. O'Sullivan smiled hopefully, "You like thees idea, amigo?" "No, I don't like it," said Bag - got. "I got a good mind to have n.athin' more to do with you." He looked about covertly and lowered his voice. "When was you fig- gerin' on 'loin' this terrible thing?" Clementine had heard from a trusted friend, Mr. O'Leary, that he contemplated building a rail- road from Sacramento City out through the mining camp, but was desperately short of money. Be- lieving both in O'Leary and in the future destiny of the town, . she put the situation up to the miners and in a very short space of time had received dozens of pledges ranging from two thous- and dollars up. When Baggot was told that his own forcibly saved earnings were to be put into railway stock, he gulped and tried to argue, then realized the futility of it. It only strengthened his determination, however, to be at least a passive collaborator in the suggestion ad- vanced by Miguel O'Sullivan. But, above all, he must be very, very careful about Tommie. There was just one thing radi- cally wrong with the plotted rob- bery. Baggot took it for granted that the outlaw who rode up with masked face, as he and Tommie were jogging past Oak Tree Bend, was O'Sullivan. Actually it was Jim Swade, who was about O'Sul- livan's height and build. "Look out, kid, it's a hold-up!" cried Baggot, feigning nervous- ness and pushing Tommie to safe- ty in the back of the wagon. "Don't shoot mister!" he went on, with a secret wink, as he began to pull out the chest of gold under the front seat. Swade, surprised and pleased by the cowering manner of a man whom he had regarded as devoid of fear, took the chest and bound it to his horse. Meanwhile, with- out Baggot's knowledge, Tommie had slipped out from the rear of the wagon. When the hold-up man started down the road, Tom- mie was nearby, his rifle ready for a shot, Baggot heard the shot, and it affected him like a thunderclap. Whirling around and finding Tom- mie missing, he whipped up the team and cavorted wildly down the road. A second shot sounded. A hundred yards away, Swade was now taking aim at Tommie, as the latter crouched in a tree. Baggot pulled out his own gun but his shot was hurried. Swade pivoted around, while the box of gold slipped from its loose fastening to the ground. As the other man sped out of sight, Baggot hurried over, picked up the money receptacle and heav- ed it back on the wagon. Sudden- ly he became conscious that all was not well with Tommie. He hastened to the boy, who had crawled from the tree to the CROCHETED RUGS Design No. 360 The ideal crocheted rug is made from cast off silk hosiery or t'en's socks, and two shades of carpet warp, These rugs may lag used in any room, and may be either; round or oval.

"Blasted furrinerP' cried Bag- got, still thinking it was O'Sulli- van who had engineered the hold- up. "He wasn't no foreigner," said Tommie weakly. "That was Swade —the feller who killed Red. I ehoulda got him—" "Wbere'd he hit you?" ex- claimed Baggot, as the boy sank back, Alarmed, when Tommie closed his eyes, Baggot picked him up, put him gently in the back part of the wagon and start- ed at top speed for Sacramento City. Down the road a bit, the stage was set for the prearranged piece of banditry, O'Sullivan had his revolver drawn, as the mule pack came thundering along. He called out to Baggot to throw up his hands. Baggot scarcely saw him, and merely increased his pace. O'Sullivan's jaw fell and he looked the picture of baffled bewilder- ment, as he was left behind, Although Tommie was weak from loss of blood, his wound proved to be merely a superficial one, .Swede's bullet having grazed his shoulder. Baggot, deeply re- lieved as he got the boy safely back home from the doctor, went *over to O'Sullivan's place to ex- press his gratitude with a bit of liquid refreshment. * * * • O'Sullivan, as hey slapped him jovially across the back, turned angrily. "You have the bad memory, eh?" he exclaimed. "I stall' there to make the hold-up, and—fft!— I get the dust in the face!" "Now, Seenor," ,said Baggot in a compromising manner. "I couldn't help that. I figgered poor Tommie was hurt bad." "And now you have .all the dinero yourself," commented O'Sullivan. Baggot shook his head. "I ain't got none o' that gold," he said. "I turned it in at the bank in Sacramento. Here's the re- ceipt." "You have the gold and geeve heem up?" asked O'Sullivan, eyes popping. "You are not the man you used to be, amigo, No, now you are the beeg family man." Before he could • dilate further on this theme, he caught a glimpse of Clementine . Tucker and Tom- mie coming across the adjacent yard, He pointed them out to Baggot, and the latter pushed the whiskey bottle out of sight as though he had been scotching: a rattlesnake. When Clementine crossed the - threshold, she • stood with folded arms facing Baggot. "You wasn't tryin" to get out of comin' to the temperance meetin' -tonight, was you?" she asked. "Aw, if there's anythin' gives me the miseries, •it's temperance meetin's!" muttered Baggot. "None o' that!" ordered Cle- mentine. "Just when you're get - tin' half may respectable, you want to go have a relapse? Git along now!" She pulled him out by the arm, as O'Sullivan shook his head dole- fully. • (Continued Next Week) Falling Machine Gun Wrecks Jap Plane A machine-gun falling from an American bomber sheered off the propeller of a Japanese Zero plane causing its destruction at Milne Bay, a Melbourne Herald war correspondent reports. F. C. Folkard, the writer, said the story was vouched for by Gunnery Sgt. J. P. Papp and others in the bomber. Papp said the bomber cane so close to another plane that he feared the machines would col- lide. He made a sudden motion to adjust his life preserver, ac- cidently giving his machine-gun a wrench. There was no collision, but screws holding the gun broke. "The gun fell out. I almost followed it in my effort to save it," Papp told the correspondent. "Looking do«n, I was startled to see a Zero, 200 feet below and coning up at us fast to make a .belly attack, "Now this may sound in -cred- ible, but that falling gun hit the Zero's propeller, which was knocked to pieces. The Zero kept coming a moment and then dived straight down to the wa- ter."

Teach Economy Of Electric Power Ontario Wowen Will Be Ask- ed To Stagger Ironing Days Housewives in Ontario will be urged to stagger their ironing days this fall and winter, W. L. Houck, vice-chairman of the Ont- ario Hydro -Electric Power Com- mission said recently. "We are going to conduct an educational campaign to teach housewives how to conserve elec- tric power," he said. "November and December are the two worst months of the year. Tuesday is the worst day, That is the day the housewives do the ironing. We are going to try to get them to do their ironing on other days of the week." Mr. Houck said that before the end of this month the Hydro - Electric Power Commission will Industrial history is made as fair sex invades Canadian Na- tional Railways yards. The rail- ways employed a few women dur- ing the last war, but a much larger program is planned now, as the National System prepares to meet the increasing war -time traffic demands that will be made upon it. "Our only requirement is that women must be willing to work and have the intelligence to do a good job," declared E. R. Battley, General Superintendent of Motive Power and Car Equip- • meat, Central Region. Women are cleaning everything in the yards from ashtrays to giant locomo- tives, in addition to handling food- stuffs in the Commissary Stores for Canadian • National dining cars. At present women are em- ployed at Toronto, Montreal, Windsor and Sarnia in similar capacities, and they will be en- gaged at other points across the system as the necessity demands. Experience has proved they are dependable workers, who do a splendid job of work. ask that advertising lighting be absolutely curtailed. Theatres, he said, will be allowed enough lights in front to permit the public to see what pictures are being dis- played and to find its way in and out of the theatres, Housewives will be asked to have more oven dinners to out down on use of elements, and to turn off radios when they are in other parts of the house. "These things may seen' small," he said, "but the system serves 600,000 urban and 130,000 rural homes. A little saved in each home will add up to a large total, "There is going to be a power shortage of from 200,000 ta 300,- 000 horsepower this fall,;" Mr. Houck said. Housewives Have War Organization Housewives are mobilizing in the British war effort through a nation=wide good -neighbor scheme. Like the women in the forces, or the ''embers of the Land Army, housewives have their own organization. Cards in the windows of more than three-quarters of a million houses in city streets and coni+ try lanes indicate the residences of members of the Housewives Section of the Women's Voluntary Service. Here are the *-*,omen who, though they cannot da a wholetime job in factory or work= shop, have been trained through A.E.P. lectures, cookery and nurse ing, and other dereonstratione to give efficient service • to their neighbors in any emergency. Wherever the wheels of Britain's war machine can be oiled to pre- vent friction upon the indh'iduaI, • right there, it seems, is a mens- ber of this service to gh,e, the necessary comfort and help. From this organization, for ins stance, come the Sister Sures of World War II. No longer does Tommy Atkins have to spend hard- earned pennies in postage stamps. to send his socks home to Mother.
