TELLS HIS CUSTOMERS
ABOUT ALL-BRAN
And How Tt Helped Relieve
His Constipation
Here's a really enthusiastic LETT
ter you'll want to read:

y
eI'd suffered for years with constipation.
Took everything from salts to castor oils
and felt run down, always taking so many
physics. Then, two weeks ago, found out
about ALL-BRAN. Since I've been eating
lALL-BRANs have needed no physics, and
am starting to feel like new man. I'm
telling my customers on my milk route
about your wonderful product" Mr.. Leon
Swartz. 1888 N. Wilton St.s Phila., Pa
What's the secret of such re-
ports Of ALL-BRAN's results?
Simply that ALL-BRAN is one of
Natures most effective sources of
certain "cellulosic" elements-lack
of which in sufficient quantities is
a common cause of constipation
They help the friendly colonic fora
fluff up and prepare the colonic
contents for easy, natural elimina-
ton. ALL-BRAN is not a cathar-
tic! It doesn't "sweep you out"i
1t is a gentle-acting, regulating"
food! If this is your trouble eat
ALL-BRAN regularly, drink
plenty of water. See if you don't
cheer it's welcome relief! Insist on
genuine ALL-BRAN, made only
by Kellogg's in Battle Greek.

modified as q result Of the discus
sion in the coming weeks and
months, and in its application there
after.
It covers, roughly, two phases.
First, is partial liberation.
Just as soon as the Allies have
taken over a portion of France and
the military organization moves for
ward, the French committee would
be placed in charge under this plan.
Immediately municipa officers would
be selected, councils for each mu-
nicipality. When an entire province
has been taken over, each munich
pal council already functioning would
select delegates to the assembly now
existing in A1giers. There are, at
present, about 10 members Of this
assembly, composed Of F'renchmen
who have been selected by the I'M
foreground organizations, by politi-
cal organizations and by labor and
other groups, and have been SNUG
gled into Africa. They would be
joined, or perhaps substituted by,
the newly elected delegates chosen
by the municipal groups Of each
province. There would be approx
mately one for each 100000 inhabi-
tants.
Finally, the day comes when AL
lied troops march down the Champs
Elysees and across the Seine to the
Place du Palais Bourbon. Then the
ancient building, which housed the
chamber of deputies of the Third
Republic, will open it's doors to the
new assembly. By this time, it will
probably represent at least two
thirds of France.
Second Step 7
Now the second step Of the plan,
now considered, will be taken.
The assembly will have reached,
depending on the populations Iber-
ated, some 400 members.
Then the provisional government
Il use the word government in
the European sense; we would call
it the cabinet with an executive
head would be chosen by the as
sembly. The national committee
would cease to be the executive body
but would assist the assembly, I'M
der this chosen government, to work
out the plan for the general cleo
ton which would decide upon the
form Of government which France
would have.
However, this election could not
be held at once for the thousands
upon thousands of Frenchmen taken
from their homes for forced labor
in Germany and elsewhere would
have to be repatriated first.
Every attempt is now being made
to carry out the preliminary plans
for procedures in the spirit, If not
exactly in accordance with the let
ter Of the French constitution and
law.

ARMS are what we want, arms,
arms, arms!"
My companion leaned across the
table and pounded it with Gallo
fervor, his black eyes flashing.
It was our first meeting for more
than year, and I knew that those
eyes fixed on me so earnestly had
met the light of the desert sun, for
he had fought with the Free French
forces under De Gaulle in Africa
and had had many an adventure
serving his country abroad before
he returned for this visit to his tenn
porary home.
1--WE have quarter Of million
men in the French underground,
ready, willing, able and anxious to
bear arms-only one out of 20 of
those has a single frearm, and that
means that while IL men can har-
rass the German forces, as they are
doing every day and every night,
despite their inadequate help from
the outside, 228 others must sit,
twiddling their thumbs. They are
getting very tired of waiting but
their ennui would leave them if fire.
arms could be put in their hands. If
America will provide them, we will
guarantee to get them into France,
we will guarantee to transport them
and distribute them
It is very difficult to write of that
shadowy world, the European under
ground, for even the few scraps of
information which one might piece
together make a dangerous pat
tern which might bring swift enemy
reprisal.
There is no question about the
efficiency and the effectiveness of
this silent army in France, in all
the occupied countries for that mat
ter. There is no question about the
fact that through it flows steady
stream of information out of the
heart of the enemy territory right
back to the Allied high commands.
Today two-thirds of the Creusot
factories, once the makers of the
famous French 75s, long a vital
source of the German arms supply,
have been put out of commission
by a group of loyal Frenchmen, &C.
cording to a story that is now cur
rent in Washington.

mittee must labor in an atmosphere
OF elaboration and enforced delay
which the mood of the underground
finds 1t hard to grasp.
The members of the French Ma
tional Committee of Liberation, with
headquarters in Algiers, have grad
ually achieved more and more au-
thority under the Allies. There have
been many obstacles to overcome
and the French, of course, feel that
they have not been given the free
hand which they desired and de-
served. However, within recent
weeks, it has been evident that the
Allies are changing their ultra-con-
sentative policy and it is now taken
for granted that representatives of
this committee, and later the pro-
visional assembly, which meets in
Africa, and which is made up of
persons representing various groups
in France, will be given the respon-
sibilities Of administering the re-
occupied French territory as it is lib
Grated, piece by piece; also of Gre
ating the machinery for the final
plebescite which will decide the per-
manent government.
Great Difficulties
The committee itself works under
great difficulties. Many Of the mem
bers are utterly inexperienced in
politics and they have responsible
ties much greater than normal
governmental body would have.
They must serve as an administra-
tive agency, they must serve as
quasi legislative body, and they
must likewise plan regulations gov
erning procedure in the interim be-
tween liberation of France and the
time when free election is held.
The recent meeting of the assem-
bly, February 29) began the long
and complicated consideration of the
plans for the provisional govern
ment. One typical plan suggested
can now be described in some detail
although, of course, it is likely to be

Ecu, Inuolued

They did it at very little expense,
few men were involved, and not a
single civilian life was lost. They
did it by blowing up key dam and
thus cutting off the electric power
from the plant. At least three ex-
pensive Allied air raids, long and
carefully planned, had failed to de-
stroy this dam.
Not long ago, word came to an
other group of these French guer-
rillas that a German munition train
was about to move over a certain
stretch of track. The bolts were re-
moved and the rails spread. Then
came the word that ahead Of the
munition train was a passenger
train. Immediately men were sent
out to flag the passenger train and
order it to slow down while other
men worked feverishly to put back
the bolts. The passenger train went
on safely. Once more, the bolts
were Withdrawn and before long,
the munition train was a wrecked
and smoking mass. No French CT
william had been injured.
Less dramatic is the thankless
and difficult task which the French
National Committee of Liberation
has before it, attempting to work out
with the provisional assembly, the
machinery for administering the
areas of France as they are 1iberat-
ed by the Allied armies. The COM

WASHINGTON Scene

W Whenever President Roose-

invariably dearth Of news in

of sans-Roosevelt quiet along

nized by old Washington observ-
ers but, for some reason which
escapes me, they always have
refrained from writing anything

The only reason / can aScribe
for the no-Roosevelt, no-news
situation is that maybe the
heads Of government do not do
or say anything without the big
boss being present to give his

theory that il is not sporting TO
hang a bureaucrat for something
he hasn't said or done.
