BEWARE OF DIETS
WITHOUT BULK
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN VIII
Protect You

People are more careful than ever
before about diet. They diet to clear
compilations. They avoid certain
foods to stay thin. They eat others
to get fat. But many are running
a serious danger because they are
missing the "roughage" or 'bulk"
foods that every person must have
to keep well.
AS a result, constipation gets in
its deadly work. Headaches, list
lessness, circled eyes are only the
first symptoms. In the end, con-
stipation ruins health, wrecks beauty
and may cause serious disease.
Don't neglect your daily rough
age. That is natures rule. Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN will supply it. A health
full cereal to eat each day. To use
in cooked dishes or to serve with
milk or cream. To mix with other
cereals.
ALL-BRAN is guaranteed to re-
lieve constipation - to prevent it.
Two tablespoonfuls daily-chronic
cases, with every meal. 1t is 1909
bran. Doctors recommend it. Your
grocer sells it. Served by hotels,
restaurants, dining cars. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.

WOMEN CAUSE
COMPETITION
Difficult Problems Made
In Economic World BY
Feminine Workers

NEW YORK, July 18.-An invest
igator for the New York Trust COM
pany believes that women brought
difficult problems with them to the
economic world when 8,5OO,CO OF
them decided to make their own
living.
The presence Of women in in
duStry and commerce has been a
fact&T Of Importance ever since the
decs&e between 1880 and 1890. In
that period the number Of women
gainfully employed increased GA
per cent compared with an increase
IN feminine population Of 28.5 per
l cent.
J Until the war, however, the bulk
OF women workers were engaged II
domestic service and special tasks
which did not bring them into COM
petition with men. The investiga-
ton was brought about more by
the shifting of women to trades,
professions and factory work, than
by any exceptional increase in the
number of women employees.
The United States census for
1910-192O shows that the number
of women working as clerks, stenog-
rapherS, teachers, saleSwomen, tele-
phone operators, trained nurses and
bo~okkeepers increased by $4,000
while servants, l~aundresses and kim
dred occupations attracted $4,000
less women.
Women today are shown TO be
employed in all but 35 Of the 572
possible occupations. In most Of
these they are in competitions with
me but the wages they receive are
consistently lower than average rate
for male workers.
Figures compiled by the industrial
conference board at the close o.
1927 showed that the average wage
for women was $17.34 weekly, or
almost $40 less than the average for
all wage earners. The average for
male workers at that time was
$29.3 6
A variety Of reasons for wage
inequality have been assembled by
inquiry among employers of women
workers. AS a rule, it is stated,
women regard any employment as
temporary and for that reason are
willing to accept lower wages.
Legal restrictions on the working
hours of women and the type Of
work suitable for them also are cited
by certain industries to show Why
women workers are considered less
valuable than men.

TROUSER SKIRT
IS HANGING ON
Paris Dressmakers SponsoI
New Style In Various
Forms of Frocks

PARIS, July 1S.-R1-Women
have not yet seen the last Of is
er skirts. Like the melody that
fingered on, they keep asserting
themselves when an6 where least
expected.
Half the big dressmakers OF
Paris have sponsored them In "a
form or another and at one time
OF another. Each time a new de-
signer takes them up women make
a note o it, and then forget all
about trouSer skirts until they see
the next pair. 1t begins to look
hopeless.
"A big Rue de Ia Paix house is
the latest sponsor Of jupe-culottes,
They are showing them there as
foundations for house gowns, des-
habille and evening frocks with
lace and chiffon overskirts.
A model with black satin trouser
foundation, and black lace over
dress with lone sleeves, Is said BY
its designer to be having quite a
success.
For every copy Of the dress or
dered with the original trouser
skirt foundation, however, four are
ordered with undivided skirt.
Many Of the most successful -e-
cent paqame suits have divided
skirts instead Of the more usual
trousers. OF medium length they
have the appearance of narrow
skirts when the wearer Is not in
motion.
Other models have trousers with
conventionally tight tops and tlared
ing which simulate ankle Ions
skirts flarino suddenly below the
knee.

On Sept. Is. 1914, the Rheims ca

The cathedral is 453 feet long. The
elaborate west facade. flanked by two

with its sculptures. was scarcely less
beautiful.
The cathedral is famous as the

crowned there, it vas the place for
the coronation of the kings Of France
down to the time Of Charles <.
The town of Rheims, which is 90

Chemistry as All Agent for Peace
Minneapolis T:ibull,

Modern chemistry. plus acronauticS. has made war I'M

all considered. This Is the belief OF Francis P. Garvln
hoiored III Minneapolis this week by the American
Chemical society as Americas most distinguished lay
chemist.
He backs that belief with 4 solid array Of startling
facts which arc in addition to many facts bearing upon
the same viewpoint already established.

cities and against which no mask is proof. and easily
manipulated explosives that are more deadly than All
earthquake. are already here. They are no longer fam
tastic concepts but realities, and to be rcckoned with as
such.
Realization Of this has done more than any other
agency to spur world efforts to end all war. New and
more deadly agencies Of death developed BY comparative
" recent chemical research, make the case moro impress
siyc.
Garvins claim was accompanied by an offer to Presi-
dent Hoover. as president of the Chemical Foundation
Of millions Of dollars to investigate the vast possibilities
Of chemistry as an agent for peace"
His claim that If the politicians would give to research
in chemistry and III other sciences a fraction of the
huge cost Of armies and navies the world would see dis
coveries OF the greatest moment Is not inspired BY ig-
norant enthusiasm. It Is borne out by the impressive
record thus far attained by chemical research.
II chemistry by its ter1ors can outlaw war It will have
constituted itself the greatest single influence for human
progress. There will still be left to It q field for further
constructive research in which there arc linitless posi-
bilitics.
