Of the nation were much disappoint-
ed in the showing of the Boston Red
Sox last season. The supposedly
unbeatable Boston team folded mid
way in the season and finished
sixth in the American League race.
Now that baseball is about to get
again and the major
league clubs are preparing to leave
for their spring training camps, the
question arises, What will the Red
Sox do this season."
The Sox will have virtually the
same club that slumped last season.
They have made offers to pick up
players from Detroit, Cleveland and
St. Louis, but as yet none Of the
teams have come through with
players.
1t is understood the SoX are ang-
ling for Solters, Vosmik and Pete
Fox to bolster the outfield, for they
have only one outfielder on the
present roster capable of standing
the grind during the season. Doc

FINICkY APPETITES
Often ONE RESULT
OF CONSTIPATION

When nothing tastes right, and
you don't eat as you should, the
trouble may be common constipa-
ton. Poor appetite is one of it's
symptoms. Others are headaches,
listlessness and sallow compilations.
Constipation is usually due to
Tow-bulk" meals. Serve your
family Kellogg's ALL BRAN - a
generous source Of "bulk."
Within the body, this food alb
serbs twice its weight in water,
and gently exercises and sponges
out the system. How much better
than taking pills and drugs!
ALL-BRAN also supplies vitamin
B to tone up the intestines, and
iron for the blood. Two tablespoon
fuls daily are usually sufficient.
Three times daily, in severe cases.
Serve as a cereal with milk or
cream, or cook into appetizing
mullins, breads, etc.
Sold by all grocers. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Creek.
