SALVATION ARMY'S REPORT FOR
AUGUST SHOWS MUCH WORK HERE

come to the Salvation Army for
help. If worthy they are given food,
and in some cases transportation,
of which there we're is such cases
last month.
'The people of Ell Centro are
urged by the Army not to give
money to those who are SO often
stopping individuals on the street
and asking for funds with which to
purchase food or lodging for the
night. There is no need of their
being given cent, inasmuch as no
man is turned away from the Army
kitchen or shelter unless he be un-
worthy, either refusing to work or
causing trouble here among the
men. An instance of just what this
indiscriminate giving does is shown
by case yesterday.
"a local minister called the Army
and reported two young men calling
on him for funds to buy food. He
did the proper thing by calling on
the telephone and asking if they
could not be fed at the Army. He
was told they could and so sent
them to see the captain. When
they arrived they were told that
meals were given twice a day, at
in the morning and $50 in the
evening. AS this was in the after
, noon they were told to return at
| 4:30. Some complaint was made
because they were not fed imme-
diately, but they returned at the
proper time and were told to go to
the wood yard and there work for
half an hour.
This they flatly refused to do,
saying: We don't have to work
for what we get; it's too easy to
bum it. And SO they no doubt
went to town, there to accost some
one with sad tale of hunger and
we're given money that might well
have been given to someone in ac-
tual want, and that, as is often the
case, not spent for food at all.
mo person need give any person
money for food or lodging, regard
less of what story they may relate.
We are able to give them sufficient
food and beds for those who need
them. Much harm is done in in
discriminate giving, and it con-
tributes to one of the unemploy-
ment problems, helping to care for
those not worthy and helping to
keep them in the valley.
"We feel deeply indebted to the
many who are assisting us to do
this work by the various donations
for without their aid many would
have gone without that received
sufficient food to tide them over to
a better time"

TRIPLE THREAT
ALIBI FAILS TO
CONVINCE JUDGE

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. Is. UP)-
The triple threat alibi which Al
phonse Bonkowski, 26, figured would
aid him in winning a discharge
from traffic violation arrest, van
ished into thin air, and the young
man left the courtroom SIS poorer
than he had entered it.
To the charge that he had run
his machine into two others parked
along the boulevard, Alphonse Of
fered his first alibi-the trip home
had been uneventful. He remem-
bered nothing of any accidents.
Two irate automobile owners ex-
ploded this alibi for him. Then
Alphonse declared that he had not
been near the scene of the accident,
but had visited a drug store some
distance away to buy a newspaper.
One of the complainants de-
clared:
"You didn't buy a newspaper in
that drug store. I know, because
I own it. We don't sell papers,"
For his third alibi, Alphone in
troduced his father.
"It wasn't much of a party he
attended" the elder man said.
"The boys just sat around drink
ing all afternoon. Alphonse drank
quite bit. 1t wasn't very strong"

RESEARCH REVEALS
ALL.BRAN RICH IN
HEALTH.ELEMENTS
Helps Correct Constipation
with "Bulk" and Vitamin B;
Also Has Iron

Recent scientific research shows
that Kellogg's ALL-BRAN contains
two things needed to overcome tenn
porary and recurring constipation.
1t has "bulk" to exercise the intes-
tines, and Vitamin B to tone the
intestinal tract.
These two important food-ele-
ments promote regular habits, and
help do away with the headaches,
loss of appetite and energy, so often
the result of constipation.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is mild
in action = much like that of let
tuce. Inside the body, it forms a
soft mass, which gently clears the
intestines of wastes. Special cook
ing processes make ALL-BRAN finer,
softer, more palatable.
Isn't this pleasant "cereal way"
far more healthful than using pills
and drugs-so often habit-forming?
just eat two tablespoonfuls of
Kellogg's daily - enough for most
types of constipation. If your in
testinal trouble is not relieved this
way, see your doctor.
Besides, ALL-BRAN brings your
body twice as much bodybuilding
iron as an equal amount by weight
of beef liver.
Equally tasty as a cereal with
milk or cream, or used in cooking.

In giving a report of the welfare
work in Ell Centre and Vicinity by
the Salvation Army for August,
Capt. Jesse King made the follow
ing statement:
. "A new record of persons helped
has been set in last months work
here. Laboring alone in the relief
field the Army assisted a total of
5707 persons with food, clothing,
place to sleep and transportation.
There we're 101 families aided
an average of six and one-half
times. This means that 642 fam
lilies with total of 1857 members
received assistance once, which in
cluded the gift of over 40 sacks of
whole wheat flour The flour is
most useful, for it is milled so that
it serves more purposes than is
possible with the common white
flour. Being coarsely ground it can
be sifted so the coarse grade may
be used for cereal, and the finely
ground for baking purposes. Thus
double need is met with a single
article of food.
"In addition to the above fig
ures of the resident family work
there were given to transient men
1878 meals, 270 beds and 83 gar
ments, for which each man is re-
quired to work in the wood yard
unless physically unable. The wood
that is cut by them is sold to help
defray the expenses of operation of
the kitchen and shelter. This OPP
portunity to work helps keep out
undeSirables and also gives the re-
spectacle unemployed the chance
to work for what they get so they
may not feel that they are being
given something in the name of
charity, but actually are earning
what they get.
Added to the other relief work
is the problem of what to do with
the transient family. Many other
cities bordering Imperial Valley are
not even attempting to do more
than assist these families out of
their districts, often barely giving
enough gasoline to get here. They
arrive hungry and travel worn,
without means of going further, and

Furniture Costs
To Be Increased
By Manufacturers

Rising prices in the entire furni-
ture field is the prediction of lead
ing furniture manufacturers, ac-
cording to j. r. Fahs, furniture
buyer for the Imperial Valley
Hardware stores.
I'VE have received notices of ad-
vances in wholesale prices from
practically all the large factories
of the Pacific coast" stated Fahs
today. These increases are due, say
the manufacturers, to the advanc-
ing cost of raw materials amount
ing from 10 per cent to Is per cent.
This will necessarily result in
higher retail prices shortly con-
tinued Fahs. 1--WE are making ex-
tensive purchases. now to protect
our Imperial Valley friends from
higher costs for as long period
as possible"
Fahs will leave tonight for Los
Angeles and other furniture manu-
featuring centers on the coast to
complete purchases that have al
ready been arranged for. Accord
ing to officials of the hardware
firm, they plan to take full adj
vantage of the present low prices,
at the same time making a COM
plete study of the price and style
trends for the coming season.
Evening appointments of furni-
ture customers at our stores will
be continued as usual" says Fahs.
1T has been a practice with us for
many years to meet customers at
our stores for leisurely evening
shopping whenever it is for their
greater convenience. All one has
to do is phone the store and an
evening appointment is cheerfully
arranged to look over any item or
ensemble for homes as we'll as in

1874 DRESS WINS
FOOD SHOW PRIZE
Wedding Gown Worn Again
In 0Id-Fashi0ned Cos.
tune Contest.

Preserved with affection for Is years,
a nineteenth century wedding dress was
brought out again last night to win the
favor Of the audience at the Food Show
in a contest for the most attractive
old-fashioned costume.
Mrs. James H. Stansf1eld Of 1912 q
street was adjudged winner In the con-
test when she appeared on the stage in
the dress her mother wore at her we'd
ding in 1854-the dress Mrs. STAINS
fields grandmother condemned as be-
ing too gaudy for any wedding" And
the costume was complete from tiny
shoes with pointed. turned-up toes and
wasted" heels to heavy Cam
ton silk shawl and old cameo brooch.
The shawl, Mrs. Stansfield explained
after the contest, was a gift to her
mother, then Miss Eleanor Bensley Of
Barton, N. Y, from an old sea captain
family friend in 1850. The shawl was
stored away in the young girls "dowry
chest" and was brought out when she
became Mrs. George Snyder in 1854.
The dainty collar and cuffs on the dress
itself were handmade by the bride,
and the dress was lined with homespun
linen. dyed with butternut.
The charge Of "gaudy" made by the
brides mother is difficult for Mrs.
Stansfield to reconcile with the almost
somber tones of brown plaid.
The contest was witnessed by an
audience of more than 1000 persons
who def1ed the wind and rain to attend
the opening of the show in the Wash
ington Auditorium. Sponsored by the
District Grocery Stores, Inc, the Food
Show will continue through Saturday
night, November 49, The first matinee
session of the exhibition is being held
this afternoon, and at it the shows

Santa Claus, too, will make his first
appearance at the show this afternoon,
and he will return each afternoon

sented with 32-piece set of rock crys-
tai at the opening session last night
Tonight's major gift will be a 69-piece
china set. Generous gifts Of foodstuffs
were made at stated intervals through
out last evening. and this procedure
will be followed for the remainder Of
the show.
