DELICIOUS NEW
BREAD RELIEVES
CONSTIPATION
Doctors Warn
Against Drugs!

Doctors have repeatedly warned
sufferers from constipation against
the harmful effects of powerful!
drugs. A sluggish system can not
be restored to normal action by
constant purging.
Now, it is no longer necessary to
resort to such dangerous expedients.
After months of experimenting, a
famous food laboratory, in co-opera-
ton with a local baker, has perfect
ed a most delightful bread which
contains two of Natures finest lax
alive foods; faxed wheat and the
concentrated juice of select SUM-
ripened pruneS.
Named after it's two principal in
gradients, PRUN = o = WHEAT
BREAD provides an abundance of
nourishment and at the same time
gently and naturally stimulates the
intestinal tract to normal activity.
PRUN-O-WHEAT BREAD is a
natural laxative food that will be
welcomed by thousands. It's match
less flavor will make it a favorite on
any table. It's mild, but certain lax
alive properties will relieve all but
the most obstinate cases of consti-
patton, with their attendant evils.

'FACE-MAKINC
NURSE STARTS
COURT UPROAR
Witness in Chapman Trial
ReSentS Criticism of
Karrer.

There was a time, perhaps in the
girlhood days of Miss Mary Mullins,
nurse in charge of the psycopathic
ward at the City Hospital, when she
might have made faces at people
and gotten away with it.
But yesterday was another day,
and little did Miss Mullins expect
that one of her girlhood antics
might have landed her in Jail for
contempt of court.
1t all happened in the trial of
Charles Chapman, so, charged with
the murder of his sweetheart, Mrs.
Grace Lackey, 46. The trial is being
held in Criminal Court before a jury
and Special Judge Clyde Karrer.
Miss Mullins appeared as a defense
witness.
Miss Mullins did her t~estifying
under guidance of the defense at
torneys.
She related incidents she said
took place during Chapman's STAY
at the hospital, where he was re-
covering from wounds the state
charges were inflicted with a gun in
a suicide attempt after, the prose-
cution says, he had killed Mrs.
Lackey.
Miss Mullins expressed an opinion
that Chapman was of unsound
mind at the time he is said to have
made confessions to the police.
The states attorneys did not
croSs-examine Miss Mullins, but
Judge Karrer had one or two things
he wanted to know. He asked Miss
Mullins if she knew what days the
officers were there and what time of
day it was, and her answer to both
was that she didn't remember"
She was excused and as she start
ed to leave the witness chair, Judge
Karrer added:
1T looks as though you are a lit
tie careless out there, allowing per-
sons in that physical condition to
be bothered by interviews"
Miss Mullins wheeled and made a
face. Almost as quickly, she re-

Pyun-O-WheG
Can Be Served in Manu-
Delightful Ways

1t should be remembered that for
all its splendid laxative qualities,
PRUN-O-WHEAT BREAD is also a
tempting food. Here is a bread the
whole family will enjoy for its rich
and appetizing flavor.
P~RUN-O-WHEAT toast makes a
wonderful addition to the breakfast
menu. The younger members of the
family will hail it with delight.
Sandwiches made with PRUN-O-
WHEAT BREAD have a novel
charm, especially when a sweet or
semi-sweet filling is used. Served
at the table for every meal, in adj
dition to white bread, PRUN-O-
WHEAT makes for a variety that
will appeal to every taste.
Independent grocers are glad to
supply PRUN- upon re-
quest. 1t represents of the most
spectacular achievements of the
baking industry.

ceived the ACCOMPLISHMENT that any
further antics like that would bring
contempt charges.
Then, as she walked down past
the jury box, she tapped her hand
haughtily on the top of the rail.
Once again Judge Karrer repeated
the admonition. Prosecutor Her
bert M. Spencer and Deputy Prose-
cutor James A. Watson said she was
still making faces.
The second ACCOMPLISHMENT
brought from Defense Attorney
Herman Ridenour a demand that
all of Judge Karrer's remarks be
made a part of the record.
The judge advised Mr. Ridenour
that he was the judge and that any
such continued actions on the part
of the defense counsel and its wit
nesses would result in all of them
being sent to jail for contempt.
A recess vas ordered. Defense
attorneys and the judge got to-
gether and laughed it off. Miss
Mullins made her exit and was on
her back to the hospital. The trial
was resumed today.

Exposes Evils of
Faulty Elimination

A noted beautician, who wishes
her name withheld, says, 80 many
women fail to realize the underlying
cause of most blemishss, sallow COM
plexions and other skin faults. In
the majority Of cases these defects
are due to chronic constipation or
to the habitual use of powerful lax
atives which contain harmful drugs.
Women should endeavor to re-
move the underlying cause of skin
defects instead Of trying to conceal
them. This can be done in most
cases by attention to the diet and
the regular use of naturally laxative
food such rs faxed wheat and prune

CENTRAL BANK
BILL MAY STIR
BITTER BATTLE
Beginning of End for U. S.
Private System Seen
in Measure.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON SEQ Congress
sional currency rausioniStS pre-
dicted today the Administrations
central bank bill" is the beginning
OF the end Of the American private
banking system. Others believe the
Administration will retreat on the
bank bill when the fight becomes
hot.
If the bill is brought to a vote at
this session it will serve better than
any other pending measure to align
~so-called conservative and radical
groups against each other, regard
less Of party.
The split of Democrats already is
apparent. Senator Elmer Thomas
ID, Okla.), who wrote the currency
expansion measure adopted by the
1888 special session, welcomed the
proposed 1885 bank act. Senator
Carter Glass Cd, Va.) is bitterly
critical.
Il am for it," Mr.. Thomas told
the United Press. The bill is ex-
actly in line with what I have been
trying to assert. Anything that takes
control Of finances out of the hands
Of a few big bankers and tends to
put control in the hands OF the
Feutral Reserve Board will have nv
support. AS empowered in the bill
now before both houses of Congress.
the board should be supreme in
matters of money and finance.
Beginning of the End
This bill looks to me like the
beginning of the end of the private
banking system" he said.
An authoritative although anony-
nous statement of New Deal policy
some weeks ago foretold the type of
legislation planned by the Admin
%istration. This exposition advanced
the argument that the interests of
the banks and the people did not
always coincide.
AT least some of MI. ROOSEVELT
foremost advisers were said to seek
additional control over banks to
enable the government to compel
consideration of mass interests
above purely banking interests
whenever the two were in conflict.
Whether there is any conflict at all
is a matter for debate which will
resound during consideration of the
bank bill.
Senator Thomas has introduced a
central bank bill going further than
the Administration plan. He would
have the government purchase all
stock in the Federal Reserve Banks
Senator Bronson Cutting R., N. M
is drafting a similar bill. The out
right bank centralists probably
would take the Administration bill
as a compromise on the theory the
Administration is coming closer to
their views than they had expected
Roosevelt May Drop Bill
Amendments to carry the Admin
istration bill to the extreme of gov
eminent ownership Of Federal Re-
serve Bank stock will be offered in
the Senate. They will be rejected
There is no doubt President Roose-
welt can keep Congress within the
limits of the legislation now drafted
to expand Federal Reserve Board
control over private banks.
Much more likely than any rad
ical amendment of the bill is the
possibility the Administration may
decide the bank issue is too hot to

handle at this session. New Deal
legislation is encountering serious
congressional OBSTACLES. Glass stand
against amendment of the Federal
Reserve Act viii be a rallying point
for Republican and Democratic con-
servatives.
Mr.. R~ooSevelt's congressional lead
ers shortly will be telling him to
avoid unnecessary trouble at this
session. He is not committed to
bank legislation. There was nc men,
ton of it in his annual message. If
opponents of the central bank" bill
are willing to fight they can stop it,
