Mr.. Durigan Finds Relief in
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
Here is his enthusiastic letter

Here is his enthusiastic letter:
Am 70. years of age, and for
40 of these years there never was
a week but what I had to take a
pill or some kind of cathartic.
II took everything, but gained
only temporary relief. Until last
spring my daughter, who is a nurse
in a hospital, brought me some
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
"At the end Of the week, knew
had something that was it, and
kept on taking it. I haven't taken
a cathartic since. I can eat meat
any time, as often as like, or any
other kind of food, and no consti-
patton" Mr.. L. M. Durigan. 6811
Buffalo Ave, Jacksonville, Florida.
Laboratory tests show Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN provides bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines, and vitamin B
to help muscle tone. Also iron for
the blood.
The bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. Inside the body,
it forms a soft mass. Gently, it
clears out the intestinal wastes.
How much safer than patent
medicines. Two tablespoonfuls
daily are usually sufficient. With
each meal in serious cases If not
relieved this way, see your doctor.

SUPPOSED TEETH
GERMS FOUND
Government Dairy Experts
Blame Decay to New
Found Organism.

A new kind of microscopic organ
ism, which may be responsible for
the decay of teeth, has been isolated
by workers in the dairy research lab
oratory OF the Department Of Agri-
culture
The discovery was reported before
the Washington Society of Bacteriolo-
gists last night by DR.. L. A. Rogers,
chief of the laboratory force, and
promises to play considerable role
in future dental research. For some
time the production of dental carries,
the most common tooth malady, has
been attributed to one Of the Sc
called milk bacilli-a one-called Or
ganism known as lactobacillus acidC-
pholuS.
This is the same organism which IS
used for the souring of milk for GER
tain medical purposes, although 1t has
nothing to do with ordinary milk
souring. 1t is very active in ferment-
ing sugars, especially milk sugar, and
forming Tactic acid.
Rapid Acid Producer.
Presumably it did much the same
thing in the mouth, producing acid
rapidly, which ate away the calcium
from a tooth and caused decay. Or
ganiSmS identified as lactObacllMS
acidopholus were found in the mouth
in considerable numbers.
DR.. Rogers and his coworkerS, Har-
old r. Curren and E. o. Whittier, ap-
preached the problem from an en-
tirely different viewpoint-their in
tereSt being in what the organisms
did to the milk After examining
considerable numbers they found that
they fell into three groups. One was
active in the production OF inactive
tactic acid, established rough or fuzzy
colonies, grew only between the temp
eratures of 20 and 46 centigrade, and
formed considerable carbon dioxide
This was about what was expected
from the milk-souring bacillus.
Similar in Appearance.
The second was quite similar in
appearance but quite different in be-
20 degrees centigrade. 1t would net
cause fermentation of the same ma
terialS. 1t was less active than the
first group, and could be more easily
inhibited. A third group showed
slighter variations in behavior.
When the baciln obtained from
teeth were compared. the great ma
jority of them were found to fall into
this second and hitherto unsuspected
group. They may be the bugs re-
sponSible for what has been charac-
terized as the most prevalent dis
ease in the world" and one which
costs the American public many mil
lions year in dental bills.
Since discovery of the probable
Daclllary nature OF dental carries re-
search on means of prevention has
been largely concentrated on the
acidopholus organism, which probably
has been innocent, while the real cui-
prit may better be restrained by other
measures.

Clash on 3O-Hour Week
Administration officials Think Connery Bill Too
Drastic snd N. R. II. VIII Bring Solution,
Despite House Committee.

They are old-age pensions and unem-
ployment insurance in industry. Mr..
Swope, who, because he is an indus
trialist, took the worst beating from
individual members of the committee,
added life insurance as desirable ad
dition. He said:
The basic principle of all three
is that they should be contributory
by employees and employers, which
gives the employe the right to par
ticipate in the administration of the
plans so the funds are not collected
and administered for him, but by
him and with him." and the plans
should be SO comprehensive that
when the employe goes from one COM
pany to another he will not lose the
accumulations to his credit in the
pension fund, or be subject to higher
premium on his policy for life insur-
ance because Of advancing age"

Gen. johnson, direct and salty as

taking as examples the automobile

patience on the committee In answer
to a question from Representative
Dunn as to what was the solution
of the problem, the general said:
II think this has been approached
as intelligenty as any similar prob
lem ever has been. 1t has encom-
passed the farm problem, the debt
problem, the activating Of the heavy
goods industries and the consumers
industries. We mustn't be too i'm

six months that the N. r. A. has be

warned the committee Of the neces-

mittee seemed hard to convince. Even
after Gen. johnson suggested they

Referring to recently published

CIVIL SERVICE RUIN
SEEN IN SPOILSME EN-
Federal Employe Editorial Pleads
for Preservation Of Merit
System.

An appeal for preservation Of the
merit system In the Government serv-
ice was made yesterday in the leading
editorial in the current issue Of the
Federal Employe, official organ of the
National Federation Of Federal En-
ployes
The editorial declares the civil serv-
ice is facing destruction as a result
Of the activities of ''spoilsmen."
The hordes Of job seekers are
being accommodated" 1t said. Thou
sands are being placed, or already
have been place. It is fallacious to
assume that the drive of the spoils-
men has been successful only In the
new Federal agencies
The pressure for jobs-a pressure
which has increased rather than di-
minished-and the attitude of cynical
indifference assumed in high places
with respect to the civil service, has
made the situation more critical with
the passage of time"
The editorial, however declares that
much has been done 10 preserve the
merit system "and to render impossi-
BILE in the future defilement of the
temple of good government by spoils-
men bent simply and solely upon
holding a job, regardless of qualifi-
cation"

The Khan (for so Limbu addressed
him) was fine specimen Of hill

He and his sons, besides being armed
