CORRECTE In these busy days of war you owe it to your country—as well as to your- self—to our- self 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 KELLOGG'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 -BRAD' is the "better way" to natural reps - laxity. But remember, eat ALL -BRAN twerp day! Grocers have ALL -BRAN in two convenient sizes. Made by Kellogg's in London, Canada. A E MIS L C] S SADIE 8.• CHAMBERS Pastryless Pies There's no reason in the world why your family should not en- joy delicious pies for dessert, de- spite the scarcity of rationed butter and other shortenings. Here's a pie crust that requires no shortening of any kind — a tender, delicious pie crust that comes ready-made straight out of a cardboard package—no flour, no rolling, no fuss whatever. First, get a package of Chris - tie's Graham Wafers. Then place a layer of wafers on the bottom of 'a lightly -greased pie plate, trimming some of them to fit the shape, and filling in any un- covered spaces with wafer crumbs. Cut other wafers in halves and stand them on edge around the sloping side of the pie plate. And there's your pie crust! Don't be skeptical as to whether the pie crust will hang together when individual pieces are cut after the filling goes in. It will! Just try it and see for yourself. You'll find that each individual wedge of pie comes out intact. For the filling of Christie's Gra- ham Wafer Pie, use one of the following recipes: Chocolate Filling 3 tablespoons corn starch 2 cups milk 5 tablespoons sugar 1 square chocolate or tablespoons cocoa xfi teaspoon vanilla Mix dry ingredients with a little cold milk. Scald rest of milk and add corn starch mixture. Put in double boiler and stir while it cooks and thickens.

Synopsis: Over the Macauley house In the small town of Ithaca, California, 'rovers the tender, protective spirit of Matthew, the father who left his family two years before for the great mysterious journey of death. He loves them all, five year old 'Ulysses, sixteen year .old Homer, Marcus, off in an army camp, daughter Bess, his beloved wife Batey. For Homer, life is'just opening up. He has a job es a messenger boy and already he has seen sorrow. There was the sick hungry boy who sent a 'telegram to his mother for money to come home. There was the War De- partment message he hadtaken to Mrs. Sandoval about the death of her soldier son, And there's Wiillie Grogan, the grey haired telegrapher, who's afraid of losing his job. Homer wonders why life is so difficult. He doesn't realize that it is he who is growing up. CHAPTER. TWO The alarm clock rang at seven the next morning. Homer shut it off promptly then got out of his body building outfit. He opened the book at lesson Seven and went to work with his elastic greeter. Ulysses was awake. He sat up • on his elbow, turned up hie.. little freckled face. "Hey. Going to, be the strongest man in the world? Going to be a gaint?" "Isaah!" Homer exercised rhyth- mically. "I'm gonna be a track man. I'm gonna run the two t4ven- ty low hurdles today and try to win". "Why?" "Because it's ;the big race of Ithaca High." Ulysses nodded _Telaat esapialea. xun the twenty two, the twenty two, the tweny two . ." He was still chanting the fascin- ating words as Mrs. Macauley call- ed them to breakfast. Homer's sister Bess was already at the preached was weeping in her heart. table. So was Mary Arena. She was Marcus' girl the daughter of "home folks" who lived next door. Homer didn't pay much atten- tion to the girl's talk until they started that business of getting jobs and going to work. "What about that Ma?" he demanded. "Their getting ideas like that?" His mother laughed softly. "Why it's perfectly natural for a couple of girls to want to get out and Dap their wings." Homer stuffed some sausage In his mouth and frowned. "I thought I was going to do the work around here. I don't think Marcus would want the girls to . ," He stopped indignantly. They weren't paying any attention to him, just whisper- ing together, Huh! Silly girl talk He jumped up and grabbed his cap. Couldn't be late to school to- day. "Oh well, See you tonight when I get home, Ma." ' * * The classroom was filled on the dot of nine. Homer brushed past Helen Elliot and smiled faintly as he put a newly cut rose on her desk. Then he went across the room to his seat and sat there, adoring her brunette beauty, Mist Hicks started them.day's se - Mon hut Homer was off in his thoughts. A lot of things were bothering him. He knew he was in love with Helen, And he had that job. He was earning a living like a grown man. School didn't seem right now. It was for kids who didn't know about life, He stiffened suddenly, That Hubert Ackley. The big snob. He was whispering to Helen, trying to cut in on him, And be had taken the rose and put it in his lapel. One of the pupils was giving a long disseration to the class on the conquering Assyrians. Homer jumped to his feet and blurted out: "How about Hubert Ackley the Third? Who did he conquer or what did he do?" Ack- ley rose like the jack-in-the-box, Homer yelled, "Sit down." Ackley was fierce 'in reto t. "Well, at least no Ackley has ever been a common faefaron, a hood. lum, a braggart, a .. The class was charmed by the sensation of the two boys quarrel- ing. It all ended dramatieally with Miss 'Ticks declaring that the boys would have" to stay in atter school. And everybody knew that they were rivals ill the track meet that e.fternoou. It had ell the elements the world? Going to be a of melodrama.. When the day dragged by some- how and only Homer and Ackley were left Miss Hicks said calmly, "I'm not keeping you in to punish you, boys. I've kept you here so that a better understanding will come out of all this." Ackley snapped, "He had no right to talk about me like that." Homer glared at him. "What's the matter with you? You seem to think you're better than the other boys. And trying to make Helen Elliot believe that too," he fumed. Firmly, Miss Hicks cut in. "You will both learn that every man in the world is better than some- one-else. ome- one-else. In a democratic state every man is the equal of every other man up to the point of ex- ertion and then every man Is free to exert himself to do good or not, to grow nobly or foolishly. `I am eager for my boys and girls to ex- ert themselves to do good and to understand that each of you will begin to be real men and truly human when, in spite of your dif- ferences with one another you stili respect one another. That is what it means to be civilized." * * * A hush fell over the room after she had spoken. It was then Mr. Blenton the eoach strode in. Blenton was furi- ous as he demanded. that Miss Hicks release Ackley for the track meet. In lush phrases he told her of Ackley's background, of his courtesy, his obedient caracter, his fine upbringing. It was all a little sickening because everybody liataaa . tZi~-•, 81493'.c.. raVAvei 3=40 "Come on Ackley," he wound up "I'm giving you permission to leave with me. Come on." Ackley sent a startled, sidelong look ,at Miss Hicks. Then he scur- ried ut after the coach. Homer stood there and did a slow burn. "Well Miss Hicks you saw that. Is that democratic? Is that being civilized?" He didn't know it but Miss Hicks, as noble as the words she "tI certainly isn't," she flared. Slie blew her nose, "And that Mr. Blenton doesn't know the first thing about sportsmanship,' She was speaking almost to herself. "I've seen good men pushed aside by his kind .. , the kind who go through life, lying and cheating, toadying to those whom they think are their superiors and crowding out men who are above such treachery." Her eyes went straight to Horner. "The two twenty low hurdles indeed. Huh! You go out on that field Homer Macauley and go out to win. Homer whistled. Miss Hicks was so unexpected. "Gee I didn't know that teachers are human beings like anybody else." It sounded so tepid compared to his feelings.

I'll be watching ..." * * * At the athletic field, three of the fellows including Ackley were already In the lanes. The starter was looking at his watch, his pistol in readiness. A low murmur went up from the spectators as they saw Homer. Homer giggled inside himself as he caught a glimpse of Blenton look- ing madder'n a hornet. Then Ack- ley saw him and the bleat he let out was music to Homer's ears. "How did you get here?" he de- manded, "I was civilized," Homer re- torted loftily. "You haven't got a chance." . "Oh a. fortune teller," Homer chirped. His eyes were on the starter. "Well confidentially I'm going to win." "Who says so?" "Miss Hicks." The starter's voice rang out.. "On your marks. Get set!" There was the loud report of his pistol. "They're off!" shouted the crowd and in that instant they all felt much in common as if they were members of one big choe,rina. Homer's running legs quaked. This wasn't just a race. It was the test of a strange upsurge of love he felt for funny looking Miss Hicks: And it was a way of prov- ing rowing that maybe a civilized man is the better man. And maybe it was to show Helen Elliott that she ought to concentrate on a champ like Hamer Macauley. (The outcome of this race means a .lot to Homer. He must make good for Miss Hicks and Helen, And he must prove to himself that the.deeent way is the winning way. Don't miss Homer as loser or victor in to -morrow's thrilling install- ment.) Post Overseas Christmas Mail By November 1 Faced with the task of moving more Christmas mail to more Canadians in more corners of the world than ever before, the Post - office Department announced last week the deadline for parcel mailings will be November 1. Parcels mailed by that date— unless there is a mad rush at the last moment—will be delivered to Canadians in Sicily, Italy, Cey- lon, North Africa. the United Kingdom, the Aleutians, the West Indies or wherever else Cana- dians may be. The mailing deadline is set 10 dyes earlier than in 1042. Officials said Christmas mail- ings overseas last Year amount- ed to 8,500,000 pounds compared with 5,6.00,000 pounds in the pre- vious year. This year, with more Canadian servicemen and women overseas, they anticipate a total mail load of about 10,000,000 pounds. "We are suggesting that Cana- dians planning to get Christmas mail to their friends overseas get started as soon as possible," one official said. "It is far better that a parcel be mailed in September or Octo- ber with the assurance that it will be delivered in time -- barring accidents beyond any control — than that the men overseas should be disappointed at Christmas by not receiving the expected gifts from home."
