A newcomer among the trim
looking craft which inhabit
the various channels of the
Potomac, showing renewed
signs 'of activity during the
Spring and Summer months,
is the good yacht Pelican,
which recently has been
brought from Florida waters
by her owners, Mr.. and Mrs.
Malcolm Matheson.
She is a neat little yacht
and boasts her own dock at
Wellington, the NJ a t h e o n
estate just South of Alexan-
dria. During the torrid months
she will be used by the Mathe-
sons and their family for eve
ming cruises, buffet suppers on
board and an occasional run
down to Gunston Cove, to
anchor and enjoy a swim at a
rendezvous popular with Capt.
tai yacht owners.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ar
mold and their small daughter,
Julie, who are Summering with
Mrs. Arnold's parents at We'll
lington, will be among those en-
joying trips on the cruiser as
will Peggy, bud last season,
and Lucy and her fiance. Frank
Hight, jr.
These plans for Summer
trips abroad, cruises and what
nots are simply maddening to
those who are "towning" il
this season. "Dee" Bucheister

GENTLY REGULATES

Furnishes Needed Bulk" for
Regular Habits

Your doctor will tell you that
keeping healthy depends far more
on proper diet than on drugs, that
common constipation is usually due
to insufficient bulk" in meals, and
that patent medicines give you only
temporary relief.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN supplies
gently acting "bulk" which corrects
the cause Of common constipation.*
This "bulk" takes up moisture,
forming a soft mass which helps to
cleanse the system.
ALL-BRAN gives your body the
regular internal exercise it needs to
prevent sluggishness. ALL BRAN
also furnishes vitamin B and iron.
Studies on normal men and wo-
men have shown that this delicious
cereal is perfectly satisfactory.
Serve ALL-BRAN regularly for reg
ularity, with milk or cream-or use
in cooking.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu-
ally sufficient. Consult your doctor
if you do not gain relief this way.
ALL-BRAN is much more effective
