ANOTHER UNS0-
LIGHTED TRIBUTE
FOR AlL-BRAN
Good news for sufferers
from constipation

Mrs. Kiell sat down and wrote
us a letter when she had proved
ALL-BRAN safe "sure-cure" for
constipation. Read her voluntary
tribute:
April a. 1927
81 have been using kellogg's ALL-BRAN
for quite some time and ] want TO tell you
how much appreciate IL. / have found it
a sune-oure for constipation. and know IL
Is a remarkable regulator for the stomach.
After using it, my family and certainly
will not be without IL. ! have even gone
80 far as 10 send some of 1t 70 my mother
IN Poland, Europe"
Gratefully yours,
Mrs. ANNA KEEL,
II wolcott Terrace, Newark, N. j.
Perhaps you know what terri
bic affiietion constipation is. Blight
ing wherever it thriges. Running
health. Marring beauty. Causing
headaches, back pains, foul breath,
loss of sieep-indeed, leading to
naore than forty serious diseases.
But did you know it can be easily
relieved by a pleasant cereal food?
kellogg's ALL-BRAN is guaran-
teed TO bring relief. Eat two table
spoonfuls daily--chronic cases, with
every meal. Serve with milk or
cream--fruits or honey added. Use
in cooking. At grocers. Made by
kellogg in Battle Greek.

PatrOniZe Your
Local Merchants

Commencing today, and continu
ing once each week until Christmas,
the Press will conduct a special ad,
vertising section for the Christmas
shopper.
The idea of the Christmas section
is to enable readers of the Press to
simplify their shopping by reading
the advertisements and making out
list of their requirements before
starting down town. In this way
they will save much time and energy
for themselves and tighten the work
of store clerks.
FL Centre merchants are carrying
exceptionally fine Christmas stocks,
making it unnecessary for local resi-
dents to go to the coast for their
Christmas needs.
Read the Press ads, shop early,
patronize your own merchants, and
keep Ell Centre money here.

CITY'S GUESTS
Danielscn's Shut-'em-O Out Policy
May Account For increas-
ed Number.

The following from Danielson may
explain why Putnam is entertaining
so many guests" or. in other words,
why the police station gives free
lodging to so many tramps:
"Danielson's fixed policy Of refus-
ing TO furnish nights lodgings for
FOUNDERS is working out very salts
factorily. II appears that the gentry
of the road have passed the word
along that this town is not one that
welcomes them with open arms. The
majority of them are giving il wide
berth-but not all of them. Dc
casionally a candidate for place 60
sleep and breakfast makes applica-
ton but invariably is turned down.
Many are the tales poured into Off
GERS ears and many the ruses tried in
an effort to get sympathy and the
comfort that goes with II. but the
officers are obdurate and their an
swer is always firm no.
Danielson's policy may be the bet
ter one yet there are many who apply
for nights lodging who are truly
worthy. Perhaps it is better TO house
ten unworthy guests than TO turn
away one that is worthy. They are
derelicts but nevertheless they are hu
