"ALL.BRAN KEEPS ME
IN SHAPE every Day

"When / had eaten a heavy
breakfast, / would feel logy. After
a couple of days of this, | would
have to take a laxative.
"One morning I had a dish of
ALL-BRAN. Believe me, it beats any
laxative, as it keeps me in shape
every day."-Wm. c. Billings, 1880
18th St., Denver, Colorado.
Why put up with half-sick days,
when a delicious cereal will make
you feel so good? Because ALL
BRAN has "bulk" which absorbs
moisture within the body. Then
gently sponges out your system,
wipes away the listlessness, the
"blues," the headaches.
Scientific tests prove this nat
ural food is both safe and effec-
tiye-worlds better than taking
patent medicines. ALL-BRAN is
Guaranteed. Take it a week. If not
satisfactory, your money will be
refunded by the Kellogg Company.
Serve as cereal or use in cook
ing. ALL-BRAN also supplies vita
min B and iron. At all grocers.

SIX STATES
Acting to Approve Unem-
plOyment Insurance Bills

Washington, D. G. ILNS)-Six
states have called their legislatures
together in special session to pass a
security bill conforming to the fed
eral bill, so as to provide the work
ers of the state with unemployment
insurance.
The legislature of Connecticut pass
ed the required bill the last night of
November, and Governor Wilbur L.
Cross signed it almost at once.
The Pennsylvania legislature was
called in special session on December
|. The bill may become law by the
time this article is in type, and it may
hang on for few days. That it will
be passed is certain.
The Oklahoma legislature has been
in session for some days on this sub
ject, and little doubt is expressed that
suitable bill will be passed
The Ohio legislature has met, con-
sidered the subject, and recessed to
December 8. The Ohio law can be
looked for shortly after.
The Maryland legislature is called
to meet December 8 to consider this
kind of law.
New Jersey has held hearings. If
the commission named to draw up the
law agrees, it probably will pass the
legislature without much debate. If
majority and minority report are
made, Governor Hoffman will send
both to the legislature, which meets
December q.
People who claim to know what is
going on in the Old Dominion say that
the Virginia salons will meet in time
to get a law passed before the end
Of the year No official statement has
been made.

another big boom followed by another
big collapse.
In other words, we want larger
market, but we want it market upon
which we can depend"
There is no use, the speaker said,
Of looking for such a market in Eur
ope. It would be too largely a market
for war goods.
Increasing Buying Power Vital
American workers are different.
They want money, too; but they want
il mostly because they want to buy
more things. They want about all the
things that we business men want
to sell them-things which we must
sell if business is to continue profit
able. II they had higher incomes, we
know that the money would not be
boarded to any great extent; nor
would it be used for the building of
war machines. 1t would be used for
the expansion Of our market.
If they had enough money to en-
able them to buy the capacity output
Of our American industries and if,
meantime, there were such an ade-
quate system Of social insurance that
they would feel free to spend
would have not only a capacity mar
lSet, but a dependable one.
Building up our home market is
now our one big chance; and the big
gest part Of that problem is the build
ing up Of mass buying power, through
removing wages from competition,
and basing wages, by fact-fnding
methods, upon actual productivity. =
Labor Legislative Program
President Green, Of the American
Federation of Labor, outlined a four
point legislative program which he de
clared labor would insist upon at the
next session of congress.
The program:
Establishment of permanent adj
visory economic council with equal
representation for labor, industry and
the public.
Full freedom Of collective bargain
ing.
New minimum wage legislation for
women, elimination Of child labor and
general minimum standards for wage
earners.

6hour days to eliminate unemploy-
ment.
