"The Soviet government is now in
process of building a powerful navy.
and naturally is turning to the United
States for its equipment. There has
been some delay over the 16-inch guns

ical association, "in explaining why
the constitution of the state should
not be amended so as to give the
citizens of the county something
to say as to the terms and condi-
tions of medical and hospital prac.
tees, gave Is reasons why Impe-
rial county should not have an
institution similar to the Kern
county general hospital.
I'm the face of whatever validity
these reasons may have, it is to
be noted that the voters of Kern
county like the experience of hav.
ing such an institution and have
so expressed themselves at the
polls on various occasions.
1.-The question at issue is moi
whether Imperial county shall
build such a hospital but, shall the
board of supervisors and the medi-
cal association be able to prevent
our even discussing such a pro-
posal? The Kern county hospital
is merely the incident that forced
the issue and is not the issue it
self.
1.-The voters of Kern county were
denied the exercise of their will
by the medical association which
secured a ruling preventing the
board of supervisors from taking
a charge for services rendered by
the hospital to those able to pay
Back of the opposition of the
Medical fraternity the hospital
plan," Mrs. Robinson charged, Lies
the fear that the voters of any
county proposing any change in
medical or hospital practices are
invading their rights to full con.
troll of such practices.
ITO this theory the Farm Bu-
reau does not subscribe and pro-
poses a constitutional amendment
which permits and does not COM

medical and hospital care to either

for such service. The voters of

regard to your ALL-BRAN, it is
marked on the package best as a

as l am concerned, you might add
best for health. Since have begun

ALL-BRAN corrects common con-
stipation, due to meals low in
"bulk." Within the body, it absorbs
water and forms a soft mass, gently
sponging out the system.
ALL-BRAN also supplies vitamin
B to tone up the intestines, and
iron for the blood. Isn't this food
better than taking weakening pills
and drugs?
Eat two tablespoonfuls daily,
