Common Sense
About Constipation

A doctor would tell you that the
best thing to do with any ailment
is to get at its cause. If you're
constipated, don't fiddle with
makeshift remedies. Find out
what's giving you the trouble!
Chances are you won't have to
look very far If you eat just the
things most people do. Most likely
you don't get enough "bulk"l And
bulk" doesn't mean just a lot of
food. 1t means kind of food that
isn't consumed in the body, but
leaves soft bulky" mass in the
intestines and helps a bowel
movement.
If this is what you lack. your
ticket is crisp crunchy Kellogg's
All-Bran for breakfast. It con-
tains the bulk" you need plus
the intestinal tonic, vitamin B.
and it's not a drug. not a medicine!
Eat All-Bran every day, drink
plenty of water, and join the
"regulars"l Made by Kellogg's in
Battle Creek. Sold by every grocer.

"Stop, young man, hands up! Other
wise my revolver may go off ="
"You call your revolver modern
one, Mr.. Consul? 1 would like to
show you better one"
"Stop your jokes!" snapped the Con-
sui angrily.
Then I noticed that he could not
stand my wise-cracking any more
he had reached his limit of endurance.
The Consul looked surprisingly well
groomed. He wore a nightshirt in
stead of pajamas, being a trifle old
fashioned. A man, clad in a nightshirt,
holding a revolver in his hand, and
with shivering legs, is enough to
make one laugh. But the Consul had
an angry look in his eye and his pro-
truding white teeth glistened like
those of snarling dog. His grey hair
hung in strands about his big ears.
Perhaps his ears appeared big to me
only because they had detected my
presence in the house.
was trapped. It would not be hard
to think of more pleasant surprises.
But I have no time. Every second
is gold more precious to me than the
stomach of the big iron man.
My brain works feverishly, trying
to think out way to freedom but my
luck thermometer has dropped to zero.
Perhaps what disconcerts me is the
fact that the Consul with unusual
patience holds the revolver pointed at
the fort of my intelligence, while l
obediently hold my hands above my
head.
His revolver is old-fashioned. 1t
certainly is that. But somehow I have
an idea that at range of three yards
it shoots pretty accurate.
Why doesn't the Consul say some
thing? There he stands and watches
me in such a peculiar way that it
makes me uneasy.
The devil-perhaps I should say
something. This stupid staring makes
me nervous.
All, now a change comes over his
face. he seems to have come to some
sort of a decision and to have given
up his silent scrutiny. I fear that it
is decision that does not augur well
for me. His nut-cracker jaw opens.
"First I'll take your revolver out
of your pocket. :"
He approaches me and am con-
scious of the pleasing odor of eau de

cologne about him. Evidently the
Consul is careful of his person.
Ny dear Consul, you are more of a
gentleman than gave you credit fol-
being. -.
His revolver is now directly in front
of my face. l must watch my chance
to let my hands drop and strike that
gun from his grasp.
The Consul must have read my
thought for he said very quietly, but
with energy:
"Do not try tricks with me. Before
your hands could drop, you would hit
on the floor. Do not undervalue me as
an opponent. The life of a man, as
long as it is not my life, is of no value
to me. Think that over your life
your prime interest right now. Per-
haps that dispenses with any stupid
ideas of yours"
Then he laughed a hateful laugh
a laugh that showed his protruding
teeth in demoniacal leer.
$780," said the Consul, tossing my
wonderful little twelve-shooter of the
latest make on the table. Then he
passed his hand over me to assure him
self that I was not armed. He surely
is an expert.
"Now, sit down." he commanded,
in tone not to be denied. I sat in
one of the big easy chairs. The Con-
sui looked pleased but there was a
strange something in his eyes.
And there is something behind all
this politeness to me, a burglar. Why
did he ask me to be seated?
Perhaps it is only a whim, per-
haps he feels a bit theatrical. His chin
is brutal and I do not like his eyes.
He is an actor, author and director,
all in one, and "moves like a
ghost"
He knows that l am somewhat puz-
zled and that tickles his fancy; the
nut-cracker teeth again open and a
laugh gurgles in his throat. But in
spite of that laughter, I am far from
comfortable. Somehow his humor does
not match his face. He is like wild
animal, playing with its prey.
Meanwhile 1 attempt to control my
pear to watch me, but sits there like

features. The Consul does not ap-
an evil angel in his nightshirt- angel
ic in fancy only because of the white
nightrobe. In his hand is the old fash
Toned revolver which annoys me. His
face reminds me of brutal type of
polished military observation-disclosures
and cruelty diabolically blended.
He lights a cigar and puffs at it.
If you smoke, dear Consul, so can

ask him to give me a cigar? Though
unwelcome, / am his guest, so he
might offer me one. l really am glad

I put my hand again in my pocket
and grasp it.
Oh, how wonderful the first few
puffs arel Soothing indeed! especially
when ons is in such situation.
"Stop-Consul! . Wait"
The Consul has levelled his revol-
yer at me.
Pfft Pfft Pffft =.
Am dead? Am shot? Consul, are
you a murderer? Oh, no, the Consul
is not a murderer, but he is many
times smarter than / am. How I have
moderated him!
The Consul had only shot the Gig

Now he stamps on the cigarette =.

fearfully he draws in deep breaths

me now to find out that his revolver
is noiseless air pistol? When l think
of the tremendous force with which
it ripped the cigarette from my hand,
realize that it is wonderful weapon
the right one for secret murder.
Consul, 1 am terrified, why have
you such a revolver? Consul, we ex-
change places-you are not what you
appear to be, and 1 am only trapped
burglar.
Then the Consul said: II knew that
