NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK

While this week in California is dedi-
Gated as Newspaper Appreciation Week.
throughout the nation it is being observed
as National Negro Health Week, a coin
cidence which The Press considers eX-
tremely gratifying, this publication be-
ing sincerely interested in the welfare of
the Negro. Ell Centres Negro residents,
who compose one of the most progress
Sive, loyal and active Negro groups in
the United States, are taking an intense
interest in the movement sponsored by
the leaders of their race.
IN this they are meeting with the CO.
operation of the city's leading citizens
and businessmen, who are participating
in the various programs being conducted
each day to teach and encourage interest
among the Negroes in the campaign for
better health.
No group in Ell Centre is more intense
ly interested in building up this city than
the Negro residents We believe the
great majority of the better element in
FL Centre judges its Negro residents, not
by those few who get into trouble, but
by the unselfish devotion and spiritual
leadership of the fine group of Negro
men and women who devote much of
their time and energy to improving the
conditions of their people and thereby
improving FL Centre.
Ell Centre is fortunate in having no
Negro problem as it exists in many
other communities. This condition is
due to the broadmindedness and spirit OF
fair play characteristic of its best white
citizenship and to the desire Of its Negro
citizens to work out their problems
through mutual cooperation and in har-
mony with their white fellow residents.
1t is this happy condition which has
encouraged the Negro residents to take
an active part in the observance of Ma
tional Negro Health Week and which has
prompted leading white residents of the
city to help them make their program
success.
Not only are the Negro citizens to be
complimented on the splendid work
which their participation in the national
program is certain to make successful,
but the city is to be congratulated that
its citizens, regardless of race, can and
do work together for the best interests
of Ell Centre.

THE Joy OF living
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brings
Relief

Constipation takes the sunshine
out of your days. 1t may bring
headaches, loss of appetite and
energy, sleeplessness, sallow skins,
pimples.
Fortunately, you can avoid this
condition by eating a delicious ce-
real. Laboratory tests show that
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN provides two
things needed to help overcome CON-
mon constipation "bulk" and vita
min B. ALL-BRAN is also a rich
source of bodybuilding iron.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of leafy vegetables. With
in the body, it forms a soft mass.
Gently, it clears out the intestinal
wastes.
How much better than dosing
yourself with patent medicines.
Two tablespoonfuls of ALL-BRAN
daily are usually sufficient. With
each meal in chronic cases. IF se-
riously i'll, see your doctor-ALL-
BRAN is not "cure-all."

( Uncle Wiggily, for all the while he
was talking to the Squiggler, the
fish he had caught was whizaine
around in the air on the end Of the
line, and the pole the rabbit gentle
man held was almost tristed out Of
his paws.
What shall I say to this funny
fish to make him stop flying around
my head like a bird?" asked Uncla
Wigigly of the Squiggler.
Why don't you try whistling at
him?" the red-spotted bug asked.
"A good idea! I'll try it," said Mr.
Longears. SO he pursed up his lips,
twinkled his pink nose and went
foot, loot Toot!'
AT once the fish stopped flying
around and sat down on a little
stone close to the rabbit gentleman
and the Squiggler.
oh, I'm almost out Of breath,
said the Flying Fish for he could
talk as well as fly, and he talked
very plainly now that the fish hook
was out of his mouth.
Yes, you flew very fast said
the Squiggler
And I hope I didn't hurt you,
catching you the way I did, with a
hook spoke the rabbit gentleman.
Not at all, answered Flying Fish
politely. II held the hook in my
teeth and it didn't hurt me at all.
But now I am out of the water l
may as we'll stay out for a while
Il hope you will said the rabbit,
Il want to take you home with me
and put you in a bowl of water
where my little bunny children can
see you. How aobut that?"
Il shall be glad to have you take
me home with you and I'll try to
amuse you and the children" an
swered the fish.
You are so kind" murmured Mr..
Longears. Then he put Flying Fish
in his overcOat pocket and SAID
goodbye to the Squiggler. 1t did
not take Mr.. Longears very long to
reach his hollow stump bungalow.
His wife. who was sitting at a win
dow. saw him coming with his pole
over his shoulder but she saw no

Since being in Washington as a

verbal and otherwise, has kept him
in almost continual hot water.
Shoemaker'S first Washington af-

was kept awake by the radio of a
neighbor. He phoned the neighbor,
but the radio kept on playing. He
banged on the neighbours door and
Theodore Cohen came out.
Turn down your radio" Shoe
maker told Cohen.
Mind your own business" Co.

Bangl Shoemakers fist collided
with Cohen'S jaw. The congressman
was arrested and released. He said
he paid Cohens doctor bills.
A few weeks later Shoemaker
again was trying to sleep in a Min

awake by laborers banging on the
street car tracks under his window.
Again he stopped the noise with his
fists.
His latest fracas involved taximan
