SUFFERED SIX
 YEARS WITH
 CONSTIPATION y

"For six years I suffered with constipation, and I decided to try ALL-BRAN. I have been eating it once a day for about four years, and it has certainly done the work. i" = Mrs. Herman Futrell, 905 w.. Oak Ave, Jonesboro, Ark.
 Tests prove that Kellogg's ALL BRAN is safe and effective for cor recting common constipation.
 Within the body, ALL-BRAN ab- sorbs twice it's weight in water, and gently exercises and cleanses the intestines. It also furnishes vitamin B to tone the intestines, and iron for the blood.
 Just eat two tablespoonfuls daily, either as a cereal with milk or cream, or in cooked dishes. Three times daily in severe cases. You'll find this food far better than habit forming pills and drugs. ALL-BR is sold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

recent times and which persists
among primitive peoples is the re-

especially made opening in the side

the funeral. Thus, says writer in

MOntesano - Continuance of the

county was assured when the county
commissioners approved an emery

purpose. There was no opposition,

These offices were omitted from
the 1887 budget after the people
failed to vote special levy for them
last fall. However, numerous petit
lions that they be maintained were
presented to the commissioners.
Many voters explained they voted
against the levy because they were
voting for numerous other larger

AFTER ALL, WHOSE
BUSINESS IS 1T?

There seems to have been a concerted
effort in recent weeks TO blame employ
ers for CALIFORNIA; recent increase in
the number of persons on relief. Relief
officials have declared that. among
other reasons, there are a lot of Cali
fornians on relief because employers
do not notify the relief offices when
they want laborers. Looking at it i'm
partially, there seem to be two sides to
this particular question, and neither one
is above criticism.
In Imperial Valley, the relief roll
could undoubtedly be cut in half if the
agricultural employers would call on
the National Unemployment Service
when they need them 1t is just as true,
however, that there are lot of them on
relief who are qualified for work, know
where Jobs are to be had and could
obtain them-but seem entirely immune
from the temptations of labor in private
industry.
OF the three agencies involved-the
relief administration, the National Re
employment Service and the employers

far, is deserving of unadulterated praise.
ceives the demands of employers. it re-
CelVeS the TelleI llSIS, ana IL SeHuS re-
lief clients to the jobs. 1t has nething
to do with placing the so-called clients
on relief.
We can only pity those individuals
whose minds are so warped that they
would rather subsist on a relief check
than earn decent living by exchang
ing for it good days work. We do
blame those relief officials who, after
n fashion, encourage the practice by
making relief easy.
There is neither pity nor any great
measure of blame for the employers who
fail to take advantage of the chance to
relieve the relief lists by calling on the
unemployment office for men. After
all. they pay the bill in the end, through
taxes-so it is their own harm they are
working.
1t is little difficult, however, to
understand how the responsibility for
overburdening relief expenditures can
be placed entirely on the employers.
The jobs are there. When there are
Jobs it has been the practice of men
who wanted work to look for them. 1t
is very special job. indeed, that has
to look for man. If men do not want
work, then certainly they are not en-

Bruce Cation Says:>>
A Reformatory That Reforms is NEWS!

Sometimes you can get a
pretty fair line on the sort of
people we are by exami ming
the things which we consider to
be news.
Leaving aside momentous things
such as W ars strikes, acts of
Congress, and presidential solil-.
oquies, news is the unusual. The
thing that makes news is the thing
which. is in contrast to our regular
routine
So when you find a metropol-
itan newspaper such as the San
Francisco News printing an in
teresting, three-part series OH
California,s state reformatory at
Preston, you are safe in assuming
that the reformatory is news be-
cause it does things differently
than ordinary reformatories do
them.
The Preston institution-and. by
the way, they don't like to have it
called reformatory; it's the Pres
ton School of Industry-looks like
a pleasant little university. 1t is
out in the country, with neat dor
moritories, farmlands, athletic
field, and campus spread out over
a thousand rolling acres
The boys are called cadets"
not inmates" and the routine is
much like that of any military
academy. Bars and armed guards
are reserved only for a few-the
incorrigibles. the won't works, the
sullen and vicious.
The other lads attend classes per-
form military drill, IN trades,
get their educationa lortcomings
set right, and are M to feel that
society is ready to them all the
breaks in the woI if they will
just give society hal a chance.
In other words, the institution is
honestly designed to take young
offenders, build them up physic-
ally, morally, and mentally, and
send them back to become useful
members of the social order.
It's all very encouraging-until
you stop to figure out why this in
stitution is news.
1t is news, obviously, because it

ordinary reformatory
The average reformatory is moth
ing but a penitentiary in disguise.
1t generally is swamped with twice
as many offenders as it was design
ed to handle 1t is all too often
crippled by politics. The idea of
stern, undertaking punishment
tends to take precedence of the idea
of reform. The result is that in
far, far too many cases. if young
man isn't ruined when he comes
out. The very word, "reforma-
tory" has become bitter mockcry.
So when find reformatory
which is actually operated so as to
reform the boys who are sent to it

about it.

FOOD PRICES, AT LEAST,
ARE PROSPERING

nationwide rise in food prices to lev
els equalling those of pre-depression
days need not be such bad news to the
American housewife. In individual in
stances, perhaps, the increase will work
hardship, but on a national picture re-
cent wage increases have outdistanced
even the sharp rise in the cost of food
stuffs
Those perennial optimists who ex-
pected that prices of goods purchased
by the average man would remain at
their usual levels, while rising wages,
increased cost of materials and in
creased cost of production through tax
alton and other means, went on, were
poor students of economics.
Just as immutable as the law of sup
ply and demand is the law of economics
which provides that man cannot con-
tinue in business if he loses money on
his product If an employer must pay
higher wages, if he must pay an unu-
sually large proportion of his earnings
in taxes, then it follows that he must
obtain better prices for what he sells.
Somehow or other, in spite of the grand
est theories, it equals up sooner or later.
