ALL-BRAN

New Rochelle, N. Y, for buriaf.~
News Of the passing of Mr.. Foy,
who had been on the stage for more
than half century, brougnC words
OF coincidence from theatrical stars
throughout the country "A great
actor" "the greatest Clown and "a
Iovable character" were terms used in
/ describing the veteran.
Mrs Foy, who was the actors
fourth wife, was with him at death.
The Rev John Hennessey admin
istered the last rites OF the Catholic
| church.
Six of the seven Foy children, who
were scheduled to open a vaudeville
engagement at Madison, Wis, today,
were notified and Will join the fun
eral party at Chicago. The eldest sen
was in California.
| Mr.. Foy had been subject to heart
attacks for several months but his
condition was not regarded as serious
After his performance last night he
complained OF having eaten some
thing that did not agree with him.
| He. ccnfided in friend Tuesday
night that he did not peiieve he
| would be able to finish out the
season. But on other occasions here
he told newspaper men that he had
had no intention Of retiring

I demanded of interviewers. "Shay,
I'll fall over in the orchestra pit
firsht," he declared i'll characteristic
fashion, speaking out OF one corner
of his mouth
Starting his theatrical career in
Chicago. in 1869 with a clog dance
at benefit performance, Foy rose
to place on Broadway as a musical
comedy star. In later years his
engagements were mostly on the
vaudeville stage.
His death recalled the heroism he
displayed when hundreds OF persons
were trapped and killed in the Irl-
quois theater fire in Chicago "a years
ago. With flames roaring about his
head, Foy pleaded with the audience
to avert a panic. A group of girls
under his direction went on with the
show and for a moment arrested the
mad scramble for the doors. Foy
was the last to leave the stage.

ANOTHER UNSO-
LIGHTED TRIBUTE
FOR ALL-DRAN
Good news for sufferers
from constipation

Mrs. Kiell sat down and wrote
us a letter when she had proved
ALL-BRAN a safe "sure-cure" for
constipation. Read her voluntary
tribute:
April 4, 1927
'sI have been using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
for quite some time and want to tell you
how much l appreciate it. have found it
a sure-cure for constipation, and know It
is a remarkable regulator for the stomach.
After using it, my family and certainly
will not be without IL. i have even gone
so far as to send some of II to my mother
in Poland, Europe"
Gratefully yours,
MRs. ANNA KETK,
a Wolcott Terrace. Newark. N. J.
Perhaps you know what a terri
BILE affection constipation is. Blight
ing wherever it thrives. Running
health. Mafring beauty. Causing
headaches, back pains, foul breath,
loss of sleep-indeed, leading to
more than forty serious diseases.
But did you know it can be easily
relieved by 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.

WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT

Election day has come and gone,
and once more the voice of the
people of our nation has spoken
through the ballots cast for it's ma
tional, state and county officers.
Whatever our personal views
may have been we are to abide by
the choice of the. people, their
Judgment is final, and it is hoped
that whatever animosities, person
FL feeling or such will die down.
The public demands service
and they have a right to expect it
honest, fair and helpful to our
country, in return for the conf
dence they placed in the numer-
Gus victorious candidates at the
polls last Tuesday. Let the ma
iority rule, and the majority has
chosen its candidates, and the
people of our country will forget
soon whether they belong to the
republican, democratic or some
other party. They will forget reli-
gion, prediction promises and
everything if they prove faithful
to the trust the electors have plac,
ed in them.

WHEELER'S ELECTION
(HaXre Daily NeWs-Promoter)

A frequent comment Of thu
state press since Tuesdays vote
has been on the fact that the state
chose to endorse the candidacy o.
Herbert Hoover for the presiden
cy and then selected a mar fol
the senate from a different party
and one who presumably would
not be in accord with President
Hoover on national policies.
There are several explanations
being offered as to the victory of
Senator Wheeler but we believe
that it is not a difficult matter to
figure out. Bert Wheeler receiv-
ed a heavy vote in the rural coun-
ties in which his opponent has
always been strong. Such coun-
ties as Blaine, that have always
been very friendly to Joe Dixon,
were carried by Mr.. Wheeler. The
sentiment in such counties for the
present senator has been very
evident all through the campaign.
The explanation that the average
of the senator gave was
very concrete. 1t was simply this.
Senator Wheeler only did his
duty in attacking Attorney General
Dangherty for his conduct in of
flee. To refuse to re-elect him to
the senate would be to rebuke him
for doing the right thing. He has
reelection coming as a reward"
No argument offered was able to
overcome that feeling in the rural
communities. 1t was not dislike
Of Dixon that lost him the coun-
les he has always carried before.
t was the feeling in regard to
Wheeler that determined the re-
iult. 4 x 4

Press Comment on Election Results

80 te
The first Statement coming from
the Hoover publicity bureau
should be very encouraging to the
liberals and progressives. He
promises to clean house, and when
he takes full command of party af-
fairs, we are promised that he will
"reorganize the affairs of the Re
publican party as drastically as
he contemplates an over-hauling
OF the party machinery"
1t is asserted that he harbors a
strong disgust with the party con
troll as it has come down from the
Harding administration, and that
he will administer a powerful pur-
gative after he becomes the chief
physician. He also wants a party
on whose loyalty he may depend,
and for that purpose will try to
consolidate his gains in the south.
His program, he says, will also in
clude farm relief.
We wish the next president I'M
bounded success in his ambitious
program. God knows a house
cleaning at Washington is badly
needed, and if he succeeds in that
we're for him, even though he may
not prove as progressive as we
would 1ilq to homo
