Common Sense
About Constipation

A doctor would tell you that the
best thing to do with constipation
is get at its cause. That way you
don't have to endure it first and
try to cure it afterward-you can
avoid having it.
Chances are you won't have to
look far for the cause if you eat
the super-refined foods most
people do. Most likely you don't
get enough "bulk"I And bulk"
doesn't mean a lot of food. It
means a kind of food that isn't
consumed in the body, but
leaves a soft bulky" mass in the
intestines.
If this is what you lack, try
crisp crunchy Kellogg's All-Bran
for breakfast. 1t contains Just the
bulk" you need.
Eat All-Bran every day, drink
plenty of water, and Join the
Regulars. Made by Kellogg's in
Battle Greek. Sold by every grocer.

automobile accident and may not be
available for early games. His post
has been filled by Carl Pierce, soph-
omore from Greenville, who appears
to be Conner.
The infield looks to be the best
that has graced Duke diamond since
the days of 1880 and Bill Werber,
Boley Farley, Dayton Dean and Hen
ry Kistler. Russ Bergman at short
and Crash Davis at second who broke
al records for double plays at the
keystone last year are back. Glenn
Price and Ed Smokes, promising
sophomores, appear to have won the
jobs at third and first, respectively.
For the catching job, Coach Coombs
has been alternating Frank Hoye,
who was shifted to that post from
first base which he held down regu-
larly last season, Joe Morris, sopho-
more, and Sid Truesdale, midget vet
eran.
In addition to McGrory, Young and

Middleburg high school will play
their first baseball game of the sea-
son Friday afternoon, March 81, talk
ing on Aycock at Aycock, according
to Coach H. H. Yates, who is tutor
ing the Middleburg team this year.
Coach Yates declared his material
was not the best he has had, but the
boys were expected to round into
better condition as weather opens up.
Pitchers and catchers have been
working out in the school auditorium
during the past several days, limber-
ing up for the tough season ahead.
About the best pitching talent on
the squad is Breedlove, according to
Yates, and this lad is expected to
carry the most work during the COM
ing season.
Just what Aycock will have to Of
fer is uncertain, since no announce
ment of the diamond sport has come
from that school, Aycock usually has
one of the best high school mines in
this section, and this years aggrega-
ton is not expected to widely differ
from the crack teams of the past.

Coombs Names Hurlers For
Opening Contest Saturday

Durham, March 22.-Two sopho-
mores and senior will divide mound
duties for Dukes Blue Devils when
they open against the Springfield
college nine in Duke park Saturday
afternoon, Coach Jack Coombs an
nounced today.
The hurlers for the opener will be
Jim McGrory, sophomore righthand-
er, Clark Young, soph southpaw, and
John Perry, senior Highlander. The
Duke mentor is hoping that one or
more of the boys will show him
something that will help solve his
1899 pitching problem.
AS the team stacks up, it will be
potent enough in the field and at bat
but the mound corps lacks the class
of those of Duke teams OF the past
several years. While Coach Coombs
has hurlers in large numbers, the
quality is lacking.
The same outfield that performed
so brilliantly last year as Duke won
state and conference crowns for the
second straight season will be avail
able. Eric Upton, the football and
baseball star, will be in left field and
Tom Gaddy, another vet in right.

Coach w. F. Burton
Has About Same Ma
terial as Last Year;
Sport Partly Financed
From Basketball Sea-
son, Which Was Sue
cessful One

Zeb Vance high school has lost no
time in getting baseball started at
that school, and Coach w. F. Burton
is working his lads hard for stiff
season that is just ahead. The mentor
has not completed his schedule, and
did not have his first game ready for
announcement.
Much of the same material taht was
present last year is on hand for this
season, and James Kittrell, stellar
basketball player, is slated for the
No. l spot on the mound. His brother
Asa Kittrell, another court perform
er of note, will occupy the short field,
and Charles Brown, whose defensive
work on the basketball team was a
sweet thing to watch, will do the re-
ceiving.
These lads, coupled with other
likely looking talent, are expected to
bear the brunt of winning games dur
ing the coming year.
Coach Burton, who piloted his
basketball team through a most sue
cessful season, declared his team to
be 'fair" and about on par with last
years aggregation. The Zeb Vance
team plays at the school grounds, and
the sport is financed largely through
receipts from basketball and gate re-
ceiptS at the various contests.

eral. Later he was C. 0. P. congress
sional campaign secretary-the c..
0. P. was in control then, but GER
tainly McCarrs record wasn't con-
sentative.
Well, he surely threw a crimp into
political expenditures. That was all
right until the Democratic regime
began. Then it started to be desper-
ately annoying. It continued to be so
until his 15-year term expired. AT
its end he couldn't be reappointed,
and assuredly wouldn't have been
anyway.
Nobody has been appointed to
succeed him. Richard N. Elliott, his
assistant, has followed him as act
ing comptroller general And he's
been as recalcitrant as McCarl ever
was
To be sure, the 15-year term
doesn't apply to Elliott. He's only
''acting." He can be supplanted any
old time. But it would be rather en-
barrassing to displace him on the so
obvious ground that he's unman-
ageable. 1t would be nicer to emas-
culate the General Accounting Of
flee.
The idea is to limit that office to
auditing expenditures after they've
been made; not to preventing them
beforehand.

fessor Harvey C. Mansfield, who
contends that the General Account
ing Office has "outlived it's useful

control over these set-ups to the
President, whereas Congress claims
complete control over them. Congress
was willing to let the chief executive
make recommendations, but not to
put them into effect without legiS-
lative Endorsement
The judicial wing of the govern
ment didn't care SO much, for the Su-
preme Court has the power to nullify
acts of Congress by declaring them
unconstitutional.
But here was a case in which the
President sought power superior to
the legislative branch-at which
Congress baked, for Congress is ex-
ceedingly jealous of its rights under
the Constitution
Consequently the reorganization
bill fizzled at that session.
Yet it's up again this time
At present the scheme is to give
Congress a qualified veto power over

dent likes, but not as much of a veto
as a lot of congressman demand.
How that controversy will come
out is problematic
There's another thing, though, in
sisted on by many lawmakers, which
the White House resents exceedingly.
This item lists certain bureaus
that the President is not permitted
to tinker with at all.
One of them is the General Ac-

not, it comes out Of his own pocket.
Congressman realized that the Of
flee of chief (the comptroller gen

dous pressures. Therefore it gave him
a 15-year irrevocable term, not sub

Secret Ballot To Decide
Spring Sports Program
Student Body Meet
ing Told of Coach
Bing Miller's Plans
for Athletics I h i s
Spring; Boys Definite
lv Want Baseball

Nothing definite was accomplish
ed this morning at meeting Oh tne
student body at Henderson nlgh
school relative to the athletic sltua-
ton for spring, according to authorl-
ties at the school.
Coach Bing Miller called the stu
dents to the auditorium during ac-
tivity PERIOD" presented his plan Tor
intra-mural sports, and heard dis
cusSionS for both angles.
It was stated that boys who play
baseball are definitely in favor OF a
baseball team during the spring. Is
The authorities decided to hold an
election by secret ballot from each
home room, the total vote deciding
which plan would be put into opera
ton. The vote will be taken some
time this week, it is said.
One of the obstacles to baseball,
that of a backstop at the athletic
field, is fast being removed for WPA
workers were busy there yesterday
and today erecting a barrier.
Very little work is needed to put
the field in playing condition for
high school games, according to
those who have seen the field.
The grass on the athletic field,
which cost something around $15,-
900 to put into its best condition, at
present, is dead, being of a variety
that comes out late in the spring.
One corner of the field would be
used for the diamond proper, while
the other portion of the field would
be left to grass.
Baseball season would end about
the middle of May, if carried out,
leaving plenty of time for grass to
grow before football practice begins
next September.
While Henderson is deciding on
its baseball, many of the county
schools are practicing their squads
and scheduling games to be carried
out during the spring.
Henderson high school hasn't fail
ed to place baseball team in the
field in a number of years, and if
the sport falls through this year, it
will be the first time in certainly the
past Is years.
