Concerning The Matter or
Old Age Pensions

Approximately so percent of the
applications for old age pensions
filed in Morgan county, have been
the local old age pension office was
opened on May %, according to a
statement made today by Margaret
Curran, local old age pension in
vestigator in charge of the office.
Announcement was made at the
same time that instructions have
been received from M. L. Brown,
chief of the division of aid for the
aged of the state welfare depart
ment at Columbus, to exert every ef-
fort to place every person who is
eligible for a pension and who is in
actual want at this time on the pen
sion payroll before cold weather
sets in. The statement from Mr..
Brown, addressed to all investiga-
tors follows:
GAS the summer season nears an
end, and autumn with it's cold
weather draws near, it becomes in
creasingly important that every ef-
fort be exerted by the division Of aid
for the aged to go over all applica-
tions for aid which have been filed
and take care Immediately of all
cases which can qualify for aid and
where there is evidence of actual
want. Such cases, where the appli-
cant is helpless and has no funds of
his own or property, and has no out
side aid available, either from rela-
tives or friends or from public
sources should be pushed now ahead
of all others, since it is an impos-
sibility, with the limited funds
available, to clear all pending cases
at once. Urgent cases should take
precedence over cases where the ap-
plicant is now receiving a measure

of relief from public or private
sources, either temporary or per-
manent. Those actually in want,
and unable to help themselves, are
those whom the law is intended to
benefit primarily. 1t should be
kept in mind also that the appropri-
ations for old age pensions and for
administrative purposes, both, for
the remainder of this year, are very
limited. Therefore it is most i'm
portant that the state get the most
good for the money it has available,
and take care first of those cases
where there is the most want Next
year the legislature will have more
accurate figures before it on the es-
timated needs for pensions and for
investigators to handle all the cases
filed, and it is the hope Of the di-
vision that ample appropriations
will be made to insure that all who
are entitled to relief in any degree
will receive the full amount due
them. For the present we must do
the best we can with the funds
available"
Investigator said he has already
taken steps to follow out Mr..
Browns instructions. Up to date,
total of 81 applications have
been filed in this county for old age
pensions" the. Investigator said.
"Of this number, we have investi-
gated $50, and 121 have been certi-
fed to the state headquarters at
Columbus to be placed on the pen
sion payroll. A number of applica-
tions which have been investigated
are waiting on reply from relatives.
The local pension office was opened
May %, and practically all of our
time the first month was taken up
meeting applicants for pensions and
helping them fill out their applica-
ton blanks. So that the number OF
applications finally investigated and
disposed of represents really only
three months field work. For the
month of September, Mr.. Brown has
assigned to the office here a quota
of 60 new names to be placed on the
pension payroll. Similar quotas
have been assigned to every county
in the state, based on population.
This quota system was inaugurated
after a study Of conditions over the
state to let each county office know
what constitutes a fair months
work for it. IF the office exceeds
it's quota, it is doing excellent; if it
meets the quota, it is doing good;
and if it falls below the quota, it is
doing poor, providing there are no
extenuating local circumstances.
Since the first of September the To-
cal office has sent to Columbus a to-
tai of 81 approved applications, and
we still have seven days before the
month is ended"

Your Grocer Has
This Sunny Way
To Better Health
Check Common Constipa-
ton with a Delicious Cereal

Food has a lot to do with how
you feel and how you look. For in
stance, you need plenty of bulk"
with your meals to avoid the risk
of common constipation.
This ailment frequently causes
headaches, loss of appetite and en-
ergy. Yet. in most cases. it can be
overcome pleasantly and safely by
eating a delicious cereal.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN furnishes
bulk" in convenient and concen-
trated form. Laboratory tests show
the bulk" in ALL-BRAN is safe and
effective. In fact, it is much like
that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, the fiber of
ALL-BRAN absorbs moisture, and
forms soft mass. Gently, this
clears out the intestinal wastes.
In addition. ALL-BRAN provides
vitamin B and iron.
Isn't this sunny way better than
taking patent medicines-so often
harmful? Two tablespoonfuls of
ALL-BRAN daily are usually suffi-
cient. Chronic cases with each
meal. If seriously i'll. see your doc
tor. ALL-BRAN makes no claim to
be cure all"
Enjoy ALL-BRAN as a cereal, or
cook into appetizing recipes. Be
sure you get Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.

bulk than part-bran products. In

The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health

creased alkalinity of the fluids Of the
body, as this was all that could have
happened from this very simple form
of treatment.
He made a mistake, I think, in at
curative functions in this disease, and
I am firmly convinced that he would
have gotten as good results with
orange juice or lemon juice or even
apple cider.
He stopped the creation Of further
acid toxins by stopping the intake of
all acid-forming foods, and one of the
worst crimes on the calendar is feed
ing anything at all in influenza. When
the appetite is completely gone, even
normal taste is gone, and consequently
the ability to digest and assimilate
food is entirely missing!
The body has a heavy and haSty
task in eliminating the waste already
saturating the body. Why add to this
and pile up further tasks in oxidation
and elimination, while the body is
completely swamped with those tasks
now on hand?
McKenzie'S experience has taught us
once more that influenza is distinctly
an acid condition, but it is perhaps
only little deeper acid state than is
the common cold Both recover only

cred alkalinity, therefore his whole
object was to raise the body alkallnlty
as rapidly as possible.
He stopped all food intake except
grapefruit, which was given IN the
form of juices only. He also gave
teaspoonful of bicarbonate OF soda
three times a day, to assist rapidly
with the alkalization of the body.
His death rates fell below even those
of the civilian population, and though
many of the boys developed the usual
pneumonia, but few died of this, And
but few died of any of the usual ter
limitations of influenza.

wager that few of any developed post

sleeping sickness that followed so
many of the Army cases, If they did
not die initially of influenza.
No medication of any sort was used,
and the length of each individual case
was greatly shortened, as well as light
ened in severity.
This experience so impressed DR..
Mckenzie that he wrote paper on
the subject afterward. and dwelt at
length on the simplicity of the treat
ment. He called attention to the fact
that the whole improvement Of the

This is the way to relieve occa-

First: select liquid laxative OF
the proper strength for children.
Second: give the dose suited to
the child's age, and condition.
Third: reduce the dose, if repeated,
until the bowels are moving with
out any help at all.

pose is California Syrup of Figs
