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-refned
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 the intestines.
If this common form of con-
stipation is your trouble, eat
Kellogg's All-Bran regularly, and
drink plenty of water. All-Bran
isn't a medicine-it's a crunchy,
toasted cereal. And it will help
you not only to get regular but to
keep regular. Made by Kellogg's
in Battle Creek. If your condition
is chronic, it is wise to consult
= physician.

For Leather Chairs.-Rub equal
parts of linseed oil and vinegar,
well shaken, into leather chairs,
occasionally. 1t keeps them in
good condition.
1t is not too early to look over
window screens. Mend and paint
them now SO they will be ready
when it is time to put them in.
Save the Buttons.-The continu-
al ripping off of buttons by the
clothes wringer can be prevented
by folding the buttons inside the
garment and holding it flat as you
turn it through the wringer.
When poaching eggs, let water
come to a full rolling boil, drop
eggs into it, turn out gas and eggs
will finish poaching in the boiling
water.
If a drawer runs unevenly and
causes trouble in opening and shut
ting it is not always necessary to
have recourse to the carpenter,
for frequently the very simple
method of rubbing little soap on
the inner edges of the drawer will
overcome this difficulty.
Don't throw away bulbs grown
in the house. After they are
through blooming set away until
leaves dry and plant in the garden
in the spring. They may not
bloom until the second year.

When sprinkling flat pieces, such
as towels, pillow-slips, napkins,
curtains, handkerchiefs, and so
forth, for ironing, dip one article
in five in clear water, squeezing,
not wringing, as dry as possible.
Lay flat two dry articles, then one
wet one, then two dry, and so on,
rolling tightly, when all are done.
There will be no dry spots and
every piece will be a good even

clothes dampened this way.

In time Of war, our minds may
travel to the work Of great woman
Florence Nightingale. She did
ever 30 much to bring about new
plans to save the lives Of men
wounded on the battlefield.
Back in the year 1920, an Eng
lishman and his wife were In Flor
ence, Italy. They were Mr.. and
Mrs. William Shore Nightingale, and
while they &were in the "City of
Flowers" q daughter was born to
them.
What shall we call her?" they
wondered, and soon they found the
answer. "Her name will be Flor
ence." they decided. Since that day.
thousands Of other baby girls have
been named Florence. The name
grew popular after the work of
Florence Nightingale became widely
known.
Little Florence did not grow up
In Italy. While she still was a
tiny tot" her parents returned to
England, where she spent her girl
hood. She had one sister, Parthe,
q year older than herself.
We are told that as a child she
howed much tenderness of heart.
V|hen q collie dog broke his leg,
sne helped the doctor set the bone,
and ca>ed for the dog as well as
she could Until his leg was quite

The governess was not their only
teacher. Mr.. Nightingale gave
great deal of time to helping his
daughters to learn. He trained
them to be orderly and neat, and
always to be on time for school work.
Among their studies were Latin,
Greek and general science.
In their late teens, the girls "en-

attended balls and other parties.

The Day, that Il consider anti

America"
What man with a conscience, +"
the Republican presidential NOM

knows the suffering of Israel and
what Israel has tried to accomplish
and has accomplished in the march
of humanity, cannot be tolerant
toward Israel? -

ton against race hatred, bigotry
and Hitlerism =" long before
even thought of being a presidential
candidate. I did it solely because I
wanted to express my protest
against Hitlerism and against all

IF anti-Semitism should spread
its roots in the United States as it

of Europe, then it would definitely
be calamity for the United States. -

Former Hitler Aide Sees
War StaIemate as BLESSING

BY the Associated Press.
Victory by Germany or England
would not solve the European peace
problem, DR.. Ernest Meyers, former
member of the German Embassy at
Washington, asserted yesterday.
Lecturing at the University of
Maryland summer school on THE
German Problem and the Problem
of Peace" DR.. Meyers said perma-
nent peace in Europe might result
from a military stalemate.
Permanent order in the world will
require an international law which
can be enforced, he declared. He
said nations would have to sur
render certain sovereign rights for
the sake of international order.
I'm the event of an English vic
tory" he asserted, "a peace dictated
in accordance with plans outlined
by Duff Cooper calling for dismem-
berment of Germany to make her
prosperous but poWerless would
prove a tragedy which sooner or
later would demand settlement.
"A peace dictated by Hitler vic
tory would mean destruction
of all that is noble in the German
people. 1t would mean the defeat
of western civilization in Europe
I" - the breakdown Of the world
economic system"
DR.. Meyers was member of the
German Embassy from 1881 to 1887.
Since then he has been lecturing
throughout the Nation. and at pres
ent is teaching at Adelphi College,
