Here is an unsolicited letter from
Mr.. Daniels:
"For many years I have been
habitually constipated, and have
used all sorts of laxatiyes. So, in
fairness to Kellogg's ALL-BRAN, |
heartily claim it to be most Won
derful remedy for constipation.
"Need / tell you that l have long
since ceased using laxatives? Kel-
logg's ALL-BRAN is the National
Natural Laxative. If it were used
by every family in the United
States for breakfast, we would
have a much healthier race of peo-
le."-Mr. John Daniels, 1890 Third
St., North Bergen, N. j.
Tests show Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
furnishes "bulk" to exercise the in
testines and vitamin B to help tone
the intestinal tract. ALL-BRAN also
supplies iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in leafy vegetables. Isn't
this food much pleasanter than
risking pills and drugs? Two table,
spoonfuls daily are usually suffi-
cient. If not relieved this way, see

BRITAIN is SKEPTICAL.
England Sees No Need for Silver
Conference.

LONDON, May % (R.-The idea
of convoking a world conference for
rehabilitation of silver, thought by
many here to have been in President
Roosevelts mind when he submitted
his silver message to Congress yester-
day, failed to strike particularly
responsive chord In British govern
ment circles
1t was declared semi-of1cially today
that whereas silver may be AN ex-
tremely important political considera-
ton" in the United States. 1t has nc
such significance in Great Britain.
While the British government has
long expressed the belief that re-
habilitation of silver would play an
important part in world economic
recovery, official circles have been
skeptical that the part played would
be as great as anticipated in other
capitals, especially Washington.
Since the World Economic Confer
ence the British government mas been
somewhat chary of world conferences
of any sort. Semi-of1cially it was
indicated today that this attitude
holds good as regards any immediate
world silver conference.
So far as is known here there has
been no approach by the United
States to bring Great Britain into
such a conference.

"First, we must balance the budget
Not only the regular budget, but the
so-called emergency budget.
Second, we must fix once and for
all our currency policy. The expert
ences of a century prove that a sta
bilized currency is the only thing
which the average business man can
understand and which will give him
confidence.
Third, we must get rid, as soon as
possible, of our emergency govern

administration is developing more anc
