Girls Arm Broken in Fall Blamed
0nPoOr Pavement, City Council Told

ralK on Jne east side of the Bap-
list church on Seventh street was
recently called TO our attention
when our daughter caught a roller
skate in a hole while skating home
from school. The result was a bro
ken arm. We realize that there is
some element Of danger always
present when children skate. and
we would not call your attention
to the matter except that there
seems also to be danger to the
pedestrian who passes. The lady
walking in high heels might easily
fall there -.
Would it not be an easy matter
to patch these rather small holes
before someone else is seriously
hurt?"

III the Schools,
Last year the Parent-Teacners'
through Mrs. Edith Barnard, school
associations of this city spent
S149.82 for milk. $135.00 for mater
ials which were made into clothing
for needy children. and $12500 for
hot lunches which were served al
the various elementary schools Ad-
ditional expenditures We're made
for other necessary incidentals.
Three years ago the Parent
Teachers association took over the
administration of the Clothes
Closet, an enterprise that has for
its purpose the providing and ap-
portionment of clothing to needy
children and families Owing to
the huge volume of business that
passes through this agency, it was
found necessary to employ a woman
to make new clothes and rejuve-
nate used garments to make them
serViceable before distribution. She
receives the nominal salary of SIS
per month.
A total of 307 children from 100
families were assisted last year
through the various relief CLASH
fications of the P.-T.A. All aid
was extended automatically and
without publicity. in order that the
sensitive feelings of parents and
children might be spared.
Presidents OF the Parent-Teach-
ers associations Of FL Centre. who
have Oeen instrumental in making

To Stop Constipation
Get at Its Causei

If constipation's got you down
so you feel heavy, tired and dopey
its time you did something
about it. And something more
than taking physicl You should
get at the cause of the trouble.
If you eat only the things most
people do, the chances are that a
very simple fact causes your con-
stipation-you don't get enough
bulk" And bulk" doesn't mean
heavy food. 1t means a kind of
food that isn't consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft bulky"
mass in the intestines and helps
a bowel movement.
If this is your trouble, eat crisp
crunchy Kellogg's All-Bran for
breakfast every day and drink
plenty of water. All-Bran con-
tains both bulk" and the intes-
tinal tonic, vitamin B.. And it's
not a drug, not a medicine!
Made by Kellogg's in Battle
Creek. Sold by every grocer.
