To Check Constipation
Get at Its Cause!

If constipation has you down so
you feel heavy, tired and dopey,
it's time you did something about
it. And something more than just
taking a physic! You should get
at the cause of the trouble.
If you eat the super-refined
food most people eat, the chances
are the difficulty is simple-you
don't get enough bulk" And
bulk" doesn't mean heavy food.
It's kind of food that isn't con-
sumed in the body, but leaves a
soft bulky" mass in theintestines.
If this common form of con-
stipation is your trouble, eat
Kellogg's All-Bran for breakfast
every day and drink plenty of
water. All-Bran isn't medicine
it's a crunchy, toasted, nutri-
tiouS cereal. And it will help you
not only to get regular but to keep
regular, day after day. Made by
Kellogg's in Battle Creek. Sold
by every grocer.

 By request of the Nome chair man, Glenn Briggs, A. V. Peter sen and Miss Bouck, acted as a committee to foster program for the annual Roosevelt Child ren's fund.

Bus stated "why did he rib me so much? Why not include Harold once in a while?" Was it Nor mans lady caught his eye?
 The Kodachrome scenes thru the inside passage, including the towns of southeastern Alaska, were beautiful, bringing many an "Ah" from the whites and "Ahnnelcha' from the natives, was evidence of enjoyment from these scenes.
 After the entertainment, cakes were rallied and auctioned, do- nuts and coffee sold as a means for raising the money for the fund. Dancing after the enter tainment was partaken and en- joyed by all.
 One young gentleman, after several rounds of dancing, de cided to take some friends home for an additional cup of coffee or two, and enjoy the delicious cake he had bought at auction According to one of the party coffee was made, knife in hand with broad smile, the knife went through the cake, a small voice was heard to emit from the center: Ouch, what, why your face is red. Listen old-timer, I'm not a coffee nerve image, but you can get your two dollars back, but why ask for it? Coal costs two dollars a sack. I'm in a sack, you get all the nice paper around me- a cardboard box, a pound of quick fudge and all the walnut meat decorations to boot"

Pullets Need
Pole Lessons

Night schools in roosting
should be conducted for pullets,
advices c. F. Parish, poultry spe-
cialist of the State College Ex-
tension Service. It is important
that pullets use roost poles, and
ample facilities should be pro-
vided, the specialist stated.
The chickens can be taught to
roost in the following manner:
Low roosting racks should be
built in the brooder house after
the chicks are three or four
weeks old. Such racks should
slope from the floor near the
brooder to about one foot in
height at the back of the house.
The rack frames should be COW
cred with one-inch mesh poultry
netting and the roost poles plac-
ed on top of the wire. The chicks
will climb on the wire during the
day and in a few days will use
the perch poles at night also.
BY visiting the brooder house
after dark two or three nights in
succession and placing the chicks
that are not using the roosting
poles on them, it is easy to get
the entire brood to use the perch
eS, Parrish said.
The Extension specialist also
recommends that the pullets be
separated from the cockerels lust
as early as the sex can be deter
mined. AS hot weather approach
es the brood needs more room
and the pullets will grow out
much faster if the cockerels are
removed early.
Parrish also said that the best
health and profit insurance for
the pullet crop is the use of sum-
mer range shelters on clean
ground, with ample green feed,
fresh clean water, and shade
provided. An orchard, corn and
soybean field, lespedeza or alfal-
ia field is ideal for range shell
tiers if chickens have not been on
tho land for the past two years.
