That tired feeling, that persistent
headache, that bad breath are often
symptoms Of constipation.
There Is only one thing to do
clean out your system. Do it now
or you may be seriously sick. Your
intestines are clogged because you
have not eaten enough roughage.
And there is no better roughage
than that healthful, appetizing
cereal-Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
ALL-BRAN Il d natural food
that brings natural results regu-
larry. It's fiber content sweeps the
intestines clean of poisonous
wastes. Much better than habit
forming pills which become useless
unless their dose is increased.
In addition, K~ellogg's A
is rich in iron. Scientific research
has proved that practically all Of
this iron goes into the blood-bring-
ing the glowing color Of health to
the complexion and strengthening
the entire body. A wonderful way
to enjoy keeping well!

MARKING TIME

An irregular market was fore
cast for the early part Of this
week in brokerage circles today.
The taking Of trading profit was
generally advised.
We continue uncertain regard
ing the longer range outlook for
the market and suggest confining
new commitments to trading
operations.-OTIS & CO.
It is not quite probable that the
market will start sharply forward
until after the details of the Can
adian tariff changes have been
made public. some time before the
middle Of this week, particularly
since the technical reaction of the
market might logically be ex-
pected to continue until that
time. HORNBLOWER g.

It's a thin market both ways
and uneven price movements are
to be expected, but would con-
tinue to buy standard issues dur

Do not feel that the reaction in
stocks in the last few sessions has
given any cause for the alteration
of our previously expressed opin-
ion on the market. Believe that
the recovery is under way, but
that it will be slow and irregular.

Weak Units Eliminated
From Business Fields

In the upheaval of American
business that has been an Incl
dent of the depression existing
since the first Of the year 1911
commercial failures have taken
place, representing total liabilities
Of $337 ,086, 900, according to
figures compiled from Federal
Reserve System reports today for
the period from January ! to
July /.
During the first half of 1929
when business was booming as
never before during the country.
history. there were 1872 COM
mercial failures. A total Of $780,
l30, 900 in liabilities were reported
by these firms.
The large number of business
crashes, however, is not without
its bright side. 1t was pointed
out by officials that the vast
economic adjustments that fol-
lowed the stock market crash
eliminated thousands of the
weaker units of the commercial
fabric of the country.
The opinion was expressed that

ness and manufacturing estab-
lishrpents will have been removed,
leaving as a basis for the new
day in American business a
structure with a firm foundation.
In addition to the elimination
