Your InteStines
WANT to Be Regular

If your intestines could talk, they'd
tell you that common constipation
comes from NEGLECT. Modern meals
too often omit Natures 'regulatorS"-
the laxative parts of wheat.
You can avoid common constipation
by eating Kellogg'S All-Bran. /
Al-Bran does TWO things. First, ID
gives you "bulk." It absorbS water and
softens like a sponge-this water
softened mass aids elimination. And
second, Vitamin 'tB,"-the vitamin
that tones up your intestinal tract and
promotes healthy movement.
Kellogg's AIt-Bran is q crunciy,
toasted cereal. Eat it with milk or
cream and fruits-or In cooking. But
however you eat it, use it REGU-
LARLY. Eat two tablespoons Of ALE,
Bran and drink plenty of water. Il you
do this every day you can avoid com |
mon constipation and catharticS, too
Every grocer sells All-Bran. Made by

JAPAN TO DENY
RECOGNITION TO.
CHANG REGIME.
Tokyo AWalrs Fall of
Marking to Act
BY JAMES r.. YOUNG

TOKYO, Dec. G.N.SO-Of.
ficial advices that Japanese troops
are storming Nanking plunged
Japan into a fever of rejoicing to-
day-in anticipation that Chinese
resistance will crack and that the
five-months old war will end.
The official Japanese news
agency added to the jubilation by
announcing the Tokyo government
is "likely to issue statement with
drawing recognition from the Chi
nese government after the fall of
Marking"
EMPEROR ADVISED
Shortly after the dispatch was
distributed, the cabinet met and
was reported to have agreed def
nitely to withdraw Japanese recog-
milton from China after Marking
is occupied.
At the same time, representa-
tives of the navy, war office and
foreign office met to. draft a for
NAL statement. Foreign Minister
Koki Hiroat advised Emperor
Hirohito of the latest develop
ments.
In government and military cir
cles here, authorities freely pre-
dicted Nippon'S troops will plant
the rising sun flag in the center
of the Chinese capital within a
relatively few hours. 49,.
"KILLINK" AT HAND
Loyal Japanese subjects talked
of delivering Nanking to Nippon
as a Christmas present." but as
they prepared for gigantic vic
tory celebration, they believed the
killing" would be made well be-
fore Christmas.
So widespread was this belief
that the cabinet of Premier Prince
Fumimaro Konoye held itself
ready for an extraordinary meeting
as soon as news is received that
Nanking has succumbed. With i'm
perial approval, the government is
then expected to make its momen-
tous statement of future policy re-
garding China.
In some quarters it was believed
the statement, in addition to "out-
lawing" China's government, may
proclaim Japan's intention Of
pushing deep into middle China
and capturing Chungking and

at last enter the city they will find
themselves in possession of a
wrecked and useless city.
Among the few remaining for
eigners here, there was the grave
fear the Chinese would burn the
city's magnificent public buildings
before they evacuate completely.
TOMB IS SEIZED
Japanese occupation of Purple
Mountain, where the remains of
Sun Yat-Sen are inferred in a
sacred mausoleum, appeared to
convince the Chinese there was
neither hope nor object in saving
for poSterity this metropolis which
since the Han Dynasty has been
intertwined with the history of
China.
There was some attempt to pre-
serve a semblance of order, how
ever, and frequent volleys were
heard as looters were executed
ruthlessly. So far as material pos
sessions were concerned, there
seemed to be but one aim-to de-
stroy them.

The entire fleet of Chinese air.
planes held here for a last-Stage
defense against the invaders were
sent aloft in the early hours of the
morning and dispatched to some
new base in the interior. Machines
incapable of flight without lengthy
preparation were set afire and de:
stroyed.
The systematic destruction of
the city began suddenly. For many
hours as the Japanese steadily ap-
preached, all remained calm ex-
cept for few fires set by raiding
japanese airplanes late yesterday.
But as the Japanese columns
neared the gates, swarming over
Purple mountain and planting the
flag Of the Rising Sun on soil
made sacred by the bones of the
Ascetic who founded modern
China, Markings defenders re-
verted 70 destruction.
