So to discover the actual facts of the case, the. Kellogg Company asked for a series of laboratory tests at lead­ ing universities. Experimental studies on a group of healthy women showed that the continued use of bran was thor­ oughly satisfactory. Unlike ca­ thartics, it did not lose its effect. Other independent tests on men indicated that, with certain people,, the “bulk” in bran was more effec­ tive than that found in fruits and vegetables. Laboratory analysis proved that' Kellogg’s All-Bran supplied vita­ min B and iron as well as plenty of bulk. This “bulk” in All-Bran is gentle in action. It absorbs a great deal of moisture, and cleanses the intestinal tract. All-Bran corrects constipation due to insufficient “bulk.” It is the? natural way—far better than us­ ing pills and tablets. Serve as a; cereal—or use in cooking. Sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. Vogan is on the sick list. Charlie Kreuller delivered a team, of horses to Mr. Turner of Clinton. R. A. Taylor delivered a horse to Mildway on Saturday. Harry Gowdy trucked a fine load, of big cattle to Toronto last Mon­ day. Wilford Brown is still on the line circling wood. Glad to see Mr. Ritchie is on the line again after the snow banks are all cleared away. R. A. Taylor attended the funeral of the late Mrs. John Haines of Riversdale on Wednesday.
