DANGER LIES IN
REDUCING DIETS
Unless They Have Bulk, Con-
stipation is Inevitable

Today thousands of young wo-
men and girls are wondering why
they are so miserable as they diet
to reduce.
The trouble is that many of the
new diets lack rougkage which is
necessary to clean the intestinal
system. The symptoms are head
aches, "gone" feelings and bad COM
plexions. If allowed to continue
constipation with its evils occurs.
By including Keliogg's ALL-sRAN
in a reducing diet, you keep fit as
you take off weight because you
prevent constipation.
ALL-BRAN does not add fat to
the body. 1t just sweeps the intes-
tines clean of poisonous wastes. No
pills nor drugs can play the part Of
ALL-BRAN in reducing diet. Their
dose has to be constantly increase
and harmful results often follow.
You will like the appetizing. nut
sweet flavor of ALL-BRAN Eat it
in soups. On salads. Soaked in
orange, prune or fruit juice. AS a
cereal with milk or cream. Delicious
with honey added. just eat two
tablespoonfuls daily in chronic
cases with every meal.
Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
Served in hotels, restaurants, din
