II TAKES
 ALL-bRAN
 TO RELIEVE CONSTIPATION

More and more people are eating bran for "health's sake" these days. And it's fine thing. But not every- body realizes what difference thero is in so-called "brans." Doctors say it takes 1O01o bran to supply enough roughage to relieve consti- patton. Part-bran products, at best, can only be partly effective.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN s 1oo1s bran. It furnishes roughage in effective quantities-and in the most effective form: cooked and krumbled. It does . work part-bran products cannot hope to equal. Two tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases, with every meal-are guaranteed to relieve constipation.
 Serve ALL-BRAN often. With milk or crean-fruits or honey added. Be sure you get genuine Kellogg's though-in the red-and- green package. Use it in cooking. Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN is sold by all grocers. Served every- where. Made by Kellogg in Battle Greek.

ing beings are not elements, but
reaction systems; their behavior
can be nodded. Ours is already
set; but it is not necessary that
we condition our children to the
mold in which we hardened.
In the whole history Of human
thought there has been voiced
only one rule OF conduct Of the
slightest value as standard for
human behavior. It is applicable
to individuals, families, conmun-
tiles, cities, States and Nations:
LAS We would that men should
do you, do We also to them like
WISE
But note that you and / as
individuals can never get start
on putting the Golden Rule into
practice until we have set our
own house in order. When we
strip our unethical and. infantile
hang-overs of behavior of their
veneer of naturalization we are
likely to be astounded, as Watson
points out, at our susceptibility
to flattery, weakness, tIadequacy
or lack of knowledge, jealousy,
fear of rivals, fear of being made
the scapegoat," and proneness to
hurl criticism upon others to
escape it ourselves. The first
step in setting our house in order
is to remove the beam from our
own eyes-perhaps the hardest
task man ever set himself, cer-
tainly a task that can be achieved
only by the brave.
When human society starts to
practice the Golden Rule, it will
lay a foundation for civilization
which no flood of passion can
shake. Any other conditioning Of
our inherent nature leaves us as
we are-with an animal nature
modified only by man-made de-
vices to satisfy living impulses as
old as life itself Man is the
product of evolution, humanity
must be the goal Of human en-
deavor.

Write Your Troubles
By Lucy Lowell

years ago when had noticed that
something which seemed to
be bothering me great lot didn't
bother at all after I had written
all about it in a letter to a friend.
1 never sent the letter, for when
l read it over it seemed to me l
was making so much of so little
that l was ashland to--but that
very viewpoint was what helped
me.
"And that, you see, is the oh.
ject of the notebook. BY the time
you have written Gown q full

ter how big it may seem when
you're just thinking about it, it
will have shrunk so that you'll
just want to laugh at yourself for
noticing it at all.
II don't know why this is so,

thing seems to fasten it into per-
manence some way. But it's a
stunt which has assisted me over

any rate, her method of working
off grouches. snubs, sights, bad
temper, worries. and whatever
else belongs in that category is
original.
She keeps a notebook tucked
away where she can reach it
easily and when she has reason
to believe herself entitled to a
crouch or to any other of the
things in the list, she takes out
the notebook and writes about It.
First, she writes down what has
happened to upset her disposi.
ton and viewpoint. Then she
describes exactly why it bothers
her; whether there is some spe-
clal reason, or II it Is a thing
which always has this effect upon
her.
And ii there ara other people
besides herself concerned with the
incident, whatever it is, she writes
something about each one-why

CHAPTER TT.

There is no knowing man with
out knowing men. "Everybody's
doing it" and People don't do
such things are collective reac-
tons. biologically useful in herds
and early human society. but they
persist in countless forms today
that extend their influence to such
unimportant biologic factors in
modern life as ruffles on skirts and
creases in trousers. Everybody
is" and People don't" become
potent factors in modifying the
environment to which individuals
are conditioned to respond.
Almost before the youngster has
learned to respond to the facts OF
justment to the fancies of life.
Human behavior as adjustment is
meaningless without understand
ment to enforce it's limited re-
sponses upon the newcomers. So
ciety does not easily change its
mind, because to change is to
acknowledge defeat: It hates to
run. It's mind being Its entire
body and tied up with emotion, 1t
vents it's hate on "Dont's" and
much of it's energy in enforcing
obedience.
But there is almost no limit to
the pressure that a normal indi-
vidual can stand IL the pressure is
applied gradually: we get cal
loused: to odors, sights, sounds and
bondage of trappings, and the
harness by which we draw our
burdens. And well for us that we
can become accustomed to the bur-
dens of things, people and situa-
tons that we must bear. But man
is not by nature a beast of burden
or fitted by nature to keep his nose
to a grindstone. And the man so
yoked or chain Is one more human
