One way to treat constipation Is
to endure it first and cure it
afterward. The other way Is to
auoid hauing it by getting at its
cause. So why not save yourself

the inevitable trips to the medi-

If your trouble, like that Of
millions, is due to lack Of bulk"
in the diet, "the better way" is to
eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat

need. If you eat it every day-and
drink plenty of water-you can

The Japanese Beetle
Battle Begins
Determined War Being Wag.
ed Against Spread OF The
Destructive Pest

The Japanese BEETLE is making its
appearance lin increasing numbers
in almost every section Of cur coun-
ty. and Federal, State and County
authorities are making determin-
ed fight to check the spread OF the
nest that does such widespread
damage.
County Agent, ]. q. Miller an
nounces that traps are now available
for farmers and residents in all
sections of the county. Funds were
provided by the authorities to pay a
large part of the cost OF the traps,
and they are being distributed frcm
Elkton, Cecilton and Rising Sun.
Last year more damage was done
by the pests than any time previous.
Not emily did they attack flowers,
eyergreens and various kinds OF
fruit trees, doing great damage, put
also inflicted severe damage to
growing corn. 1t is estimated that
thousands of bushels of corn was
ruined or greatly damaged.
Farmers and property owners who
found a few BEETLES around last year
or who have observed some already
this season are urged to obtain as
many traps as they can tend salts
factcrily. The support of everyone
in the county is needed to check
the ravages of this pests reports the
county agent.
Increasing numbers OF beetles
will continue to emerge from their
winter habitat for the next week
or ten days and will probably
reach their peak of activity around
July %.
