ton by awarding at least one contract
for surfacing bridge without COM
petitive bidding, we're voiced by Thorn
as A. Butler and his counsel, Richard

tensions.

Severn River Bridge for $5,115 was
taken away from c.. E. Williams of
Annapolis and awarded to Christhilf &
Ensey for $10,140 for the same work,
after williams failed to give bond, was

Z. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring by Dele
gate John G. Callan, Baltimore inSur-
gent, were met in statement. Subse-
quent to the session, by Maj. Lee. The
latter alleged that the Callan charges
were untrue" and ''willful nlisrepre-
Sentation."
Mai. Lee said that Daniel C.. Joseph,
delegate from Baltimore City, and lead
er of the insurgents, had not only audit
ed the current House pay roll, but
also had audited the pay roll of the
1927 Legislature and had found no
fault, which, to his mind, was certain
evidence that it was all right.
~ Speaker Lee said that the charges
were the result of his refusal to allow
Callan to name an employee. The re-
fusal was on account of the fact that
''Callan and Is other Democrats re-
fused to enter the party caucus and

Here's advice from men who know. When
you buy bran be sure you get natural 1907
bran, Pillsbury's Health Bran. It's untreated
and unsweetened; nothing is added, nothing
taken away. You can use it in number
of delicious foods, bran mullins, filled bran tea

macaroons-t there are thirteen good recipes
on every package.
Have some of these bran foods tomorrow
you'll find them delicious, and you'll find they
really help you, because they contain the kind
of bran which is most effective as laxative!
Get package of Pillsbury's Health Bran from
your grocer and try tit really does the work.
