Senor Angel Martinez, principal
of the government normal school
at Mexicali was speaker of the day
for the Women s University club
meeting held at the Barbara Worth
hotel on Saturday.
Educational progress in Mexico,
was the general theme Of Sr Mar
tinez remarks in which he described
the six, rather than a five, year
plan as the elimination of Mexico s
educational program begun in 1910.
To understand Mexico, he de-
clared, one must think OF it as oc-
cupied with a struggle between con-
querors and conquered, while back
of the conflict has been and is a
group of those who hope TO bring
about q new era through amalga-
nation of the two classes.
Ignorance he declared to be the
primary cause for the struggle and

fine program of education which

Mr.. Durigan Finds Relief in
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN

Here is his enthusiastic letter:
cam 70 years of age, and for
40 of these years there never was
a week but what l had to take "a
pill or some kind of cathartic.
"T took everything, but gained
only temporary relief. Until last
spring my daughter, who is nurse
in a hospital, brought me some
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
"At the end of the week, I knew
I had something that was it, and l
kept on taking it. l haven't taken
a cathartic since. | can eat meat
any time, as often as l like, or any
other kind of food, and no eonsti-
patton" Mr.. L. M. Durigan, 68ll
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 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 re-
lieved this way, see your doctor.

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

The famous Prince Matchabelli
knows exactly what the girls want
done about their Valentine hearts.
They don't want them dangling
on somebody's IS sleeve as tradition
once supposed, and they don't want
them filled with sugar candy. The
best hearts today must be filled
with Duchess of York, Ave Maria,
Princess Norma, or Queen OF
Georgia perfume, and delivered un-
broken. There hasn't been per-
fume in years that has made the
quick flight to popularity that the
Russian IS have, and the products
merit the acclaim, incidentally
Two dollars February 14th, on the
Duchess of York is likely to keep
you in mind longer than the same
amount on a bunch of snapdragons
or pansieS.
