 No Mileage
 A telegram from Delegate An thony J. Dimond to Auditor Frank A. Boyle was read into the record of the Senate this morning, indi- eating to the Legislators that they may not get extra mileage for the special session.
 The Delegate said in his message that he doubted the Budget Board would approve round-trip mileage to their homes for the lawmakers during their stay here the week between the regular and special ses- sions. Such an item would amount to around $9,500, more than all the other expenses of the special ses- sion which is estimated to be about $8,00O. Many officials in Washing ton felt. Delegate Dimond wired, that the Legislature should have taken care of Social Security dur ing the regular session.
 There was indication that so much a day would be allowed the Legis- lators for the week they were not in session but were off the legisla- tive payroll.

"ALL.BRAN SAVED ME FROM A LIFETIME
 OF SUFFERING

"I had suffered from constipa- ton for three years. My condition was becoming really serious, when I read of Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
 "I bought a package. Within two weeks, my bowels were regular, and I began to enjoy living again. It has saved me from lifetime of suffering."- Mrs. Lloyd Baird, 384 s. Bannock St., Denver, Colo. Try ALL-BRAN yourself. It cor rects the common type of constipa- tion. Within the body, it absorbs twice it's weight in water, forms soft mass, gently cleanses the sys- tenn. Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily. Three times daily in severe cases. As a cereal with milk or cream, or in recipes.
 Isn't it better to eat wholesome food than to take pills and drugs that may be harmful and often lose their effect? ALL-BRAN is sold by all grocers. Made and g1toranteed by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
