Ontario's Branding of Live Stock
Act, which was introduced into the
Legislature by Hon. Duncan Marshall.
"The object of this bill,” the Agri

chickens,” he said, “could be identi

the wing off, he should be held for

Says Social Credit Impractical
For Alberta
London—“Douglasism” . or social

the New Statesman and Nation, left

on the parting of Major C. H. Doug

“There was never a real prospect of
Alberta Social Crediters being able to
carry out the policy of Douglasism,”
the journal continues. “It is beyond
reach of a Provincial Legislature, sub
ordinate in most matters to Domin
ion authority. These hard facts would
remain even if Aberhart were not at

Since its introduction, some fif
teen years ago, Kellogg’s All-Bran
has been used with beneficial results
by millions of people.
Realizing the important relation
ship between proper diet and
health, the Kellogg Company has
aided for some years research in
leading university laboratories.
These tests show that the continued
use of bran is thoroughly satisfac
tory.
All-Bran supplies soft “bulk”
which absorbs water, and gently
cleanses the intestinal tract. All
Bran also furnishes vitamin B and
iron. Use as a cereal with milk
or cream, or cook in delicious
recipes.
This tempting cereal may be en
joyed by every normal person. Two
tablespoonfuls of Kellogg’s All

Consult your doctor if you do not
gain relief this way.
Help your family keep well. Serve
