Nazis Object to Peace Award Official Nazi objections to the be­ stowal of the Nobel Peace Prize on Carl von Ossietsky are quite Nazi.

High German officials explain, with German earnestness, that it is “preposterous and fatal” to give a peace prize to a pacifist if he is a German pacifist. To give it to a German pacifist who has been found guilty by a Nazi court of opposition to war is, in the view of the German Foreign Office “A con­ scious and libelous insult many.” Captured!

' ing.” The most common type of con­ stipation is due to insufficient “bulk” in the diet. When you con­ tinue to eat poorly balanced meals, oyei’ a period of weeks and months, faulty elimination often develops. You feel uncomfortable, Jack your accustomed vigor. Eat a balanced diet. Include milk, fruits and vegetables as pro­ tective foods. Also sufficient '‘bulk.” Kellogg’s All-Bran is a conve­ nient source of “bulk.” Within the body, it absorbs moisture, forms a soft mass, gently cleanses the in­ testinal tract, Fruits and vegetables contain some “bulk,” of course. But scien­ tific tests show that, with certain people, this “bulk” is largely broken down within the body. This does not happen to the same extent with ■ bran. When you eat Kellogg’s All­ Bran, you can be sure of obtaining effective “bulk.” Serve All-Bran as a cereal, with milk or cream, or cook into muffins, breads, etc. Two table­ spoonfuls daily are usually suffi­ cient. Stubborn cases may require All-Bran oftener. If not relieved this way, consult your doctor. All-Bran is guaranteed by the Kellogg Company as a natural laxa­ tive food for constipation.* Eat it regularly for regularity. Sold by . all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. * Constipat ion due to insufficient “bulk?

Shipment of Planes Is Legal Ottawa—No Dominion regulations were violated by ,the shipment of air­ planes from a Fort Erie factory to Mexico, Prime Minister Mackenzie King stated, and no action was con­ templated by the Government.
