Picture Version OF
Passion Play At
Baptist Church

Sunday night at 7:30 o'clock in
the First Baptist church motion
picture version of the Passion
play will be shown.
So realistic is this picture that
those who have seen it have de-
clared it to be as fine as the Ober-
ammergau, Bavaria, production,
those who portray the various
characters giving a moving and
deeply religious performance.
The picture tells the life story
of Christ and is as nearly as
possible an exact reproduction of
the original Oberammergau play.
This film cost nearly $3,000,000 to
produce and several have pro-
nounced it to be even greater and
more spectacular than the original
Passion play.
There is no charge for admis-
sion but silver offering will be
taken.

YES, THIS FOOD ENDS
YOUR CONSTIPATION

Look out for those half-sick days,
when you feel listless, headachy,
out-of-sorts. Your trouble may be
constipation. The real cause of
common constipation is too little
bulk" in meals. Your system
misses its regular exercise.
Get this needed "bulk" in deli
cious cereal: Kellogg's ALL BRAN.
Within the body, its "bulk" absorbs
moisture, forms a soft mass, gently
sponges out the system.
Why keep on feeling bad when
you can feel good? Millions of
people use ALL-BRAN. Tests prove
it's safe and effective. ALL BRAN is
guaranteed. Try it week. If not
satisfactory, your money will be
refunded by the Kellogg Company.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu-
ally sufficient. Serve as a cereal,
with milk or cream, or cook into
recipes. Remember, ALL-BRAN also
supplies vitamin B and iron.
Certainly you'd rather eat a food
than take pills and drugs. Buy
ALI-BRAN at your grocer's. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
