Senator Borah is amazed, he says,
at the refusal of the senate civil
service committee to arrive his bill
ending mileage payments to con-
gressmen. The mileage rate of 20
cents a mile paid congressman
for their travel was established
back in 1866 when travel was slow
and far more costly than today.

the mileage rate is eXorbitant re-

NOW science Tells
WHY BRAN is 50
GOOD FOR HEALTH
Kellogg's ALL BRAN Has
"Bulk" and Vitamin b;
Also Healthful Iron

BY using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN,
millions of people have overcome
common constipation, and the head
aches, loss Of appetite and energy
that so frequently result.
New laboratory tests show ALI,-
BRAN supplies two things needed to
overcome temporary and recurring
constipation: Bulk to exercise the
intestines. Vitamin B to help tone
the intestinal tract.
The "bulll" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. Within the body,
it forms a soft mass. Gently it
clears the intestines of wastes.
Further experiments prove ALL
BRAN provides twice as much blood
building iron as an equal amount
by weight of beef liver.
Eat this delicious cereal and avoid
pills and drugs. They cause artif-
cial action, and often lead to harm
full habits.
Try two tablespoonfuls Of
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN daily - suffi-
cient to overcome most types of con-
stipation. If your intestinal trouble
is not relieved this way, see your
doctor.
ALL-BRAN has delicious, nut
sweet flavor. Enjoy as a cereal with
milk or cream, or use in making
fluffy bran mullins, breads, omelets,
etc. Recipes on the red-and-green
package. Sold by all grocers. Made

race, Carey too dropped out, leaving
first place to Sam Palmer.
The 20 mile race was a group of
individual battles which brought
the crowd to its respective feet
every time the races passed the
grandstand Clyde Blomgren and
Lester Spangler battled desperate
ly for first place during the entire
race, each holding that coveted
position at various times. The drlv-
ing of G. E. Woodford in a Dink
Special was one feature of the
race, when he piloted his tiny car
from rear position in the starting
line to fifth place, then fell back
under the wearing grind of the
days most thrilling race. Johnny
Krieger was forced from the race
when his Autograf Special lost a.
wheel on the south turn.
During the early part of the rage
Krieger and Chris Vest battled des-
perately for third place, first one
and then the other leading. When
Krieger fell out, however Vest fell
back to fourth place under a sud-
den burst of speed by Art Scovell,
who took third easily on the last
few laps.
The race had only two laps re-
mining when Blomgren, the winner,
finally passed Spangler for the last
time. He increased his lead on the
10Th lap, and Spangler fell still
farther behind on the last circle.

'REWEHBER THE MAINE

IL is Just February 10, to many of us ;
the day after Valentine day TO others.
To those whose memory Is a little
sharper than others it is the Saith ami
versary of the destruction of the battle
ship Maine in Havana harbor, disaster
that sent this country to war with Spain
a couple of months later
Remember The Maine was a rally
ing cry which sent thousands of men to
enlist in the army; and thousands of
women to doing the thankless tasks
which fall to the lot of women in time
of war.
When the Maine sank to the bottom
of Havana harbor, 260 of her crew went
to their deaths, and the millions of their
countrymen Immediately started the de-
mand for revenge.
Historians may tell us now that big
money" engineered the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, but the men and women who
took up the cry Remember The Maine,
were not inspired by any desire for war
as such. They were ready to go to war
to avenge the deaths of their country
men, and to halt the insolence of Spain.
1t is easy, after the lapse of "a years,
to attribute their feelings to other mo-
tives. 1t is a bit more difficult to prove
another motive.
February Is is memorable date in
American history because it marks the
start of the chain of incidents which
took us out of the isolated class of ma
tions and made us a world power.
Perhaps we would be better off if we
had remained isolated, but that opens
room for considerable argument which
in the end would establish nothing def
mite.
Those who answered the cry 'Remem-
ber The Maine, have been more or less
overshadowed b. the developments of
later years, but the part they played in
American history can by no means be
considered a minor one.

BY United Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. - Nor
mally there are 435 men entitled
to sit in the house of representa-
tives. But when the chaplain, the
Rev. James Shera Montgomery, D.
D. arises at noon each day to offer
the opening prayer, not more than
10 per cent of them usually are
present.
Even though they have every
intention of attending the days
session, few of the members Of
congress consider it necessary to be
there for the prayer
a veteran attache tells a story
of how his father took him to the
house of representatives when he
was a small boy and he heard the
chaplain pray.
NO the father replied, 'he is
praying for the country for which
they legislate.'
This man, who now works for
the congress, feels that perhaps
that is why congressman pay SO
little attention to the prayer.
Tney do accord it one attention,
however. They have ordered pre-
pared 5000 bound copies of the
prayer said during the 10th and
list congresses by the Rev. DR..
Montgomery.
The daily prayer is one of the
Oldest parts of congressional pro-
cedure. The first congress that
ever sat opened with prayer and
the custom never has-and even
according to the inattentive con-
gressmen never will-be broken.
