What do you eat for lunch and dinner? White bread, meat, potatoes? It's little wonder you're constipated. You probably don't eat enough "bulk." And "bulk" doesn't mean the amount you eat. It's a kind of food that forms a soft "bulky" mass in the intestines and helps a movement. If this is your trouble, may we suggest a crunchy toasted cereal- Kellogg's All-Bran-for breakfast. All-Bran is a natural food, not a medicine-but it's particularly rich in "bulk." Being so, it can help you not only to get regular but to keep regular.

Since the war began, Americans have been forbidden to travel to Europe for any ordinary purposes. Passports were called in, and are not reissued unless Mrs. Shipley gives the nod of approval and Mr. McKenna gives the stamp. It was not a nod but a negative shake of the head which Mrs. Shipley gave to an American dowager recently who wanted to go to France. The woman had lived in France, and had cabled servants to ship her belongings to this country. So she came to the state department and requested a passport to France, for the ‘‘imperative necessity'' of bringing back her pet dog. The passport was not approved and Mr. McKenna did not remove the bandage from his thumb.

The war in Europe has put a bandage on the thumb of a certain state department official in Washington. Twenty times a day he removes the bandage and uses that valuable thumb in the department's official business. James E. McKenna, of the passport division, validates every passport issued for travel to Europe by pressing his right thumb on an ink pad, then stamping the fingerprint in two places on the passport-one print on-the picture of the applicant, and one on the facing page. His fingerprint is on file in every U. S. consulate abroad, and through it U. S. consuls can establish the validity of every passport. Mrs. Ruth B.

If the astonishing developments in medicine continue at their recent rate, many will have to be shot on Judgment day. There is a professional prejudice against laymen discussing these developments. The most cruel deceptions have resulted from ignorant ballyhoo of quack cures. The medical profession has suffered so much on the rebound that any popular publicity touches its most sensitive spoés. Recent developments are marvelous-the control of many types of pneumonia and one of the most stubborn social diseases by sulfapyridine-the still experimental five-day cure for syphillis-the checking of the anaemia of old age-these are but an acceleration of the improvement in four decades which saw the conquest of typhoid, typhus, yellow fever and several tropical diseases. Surgery does not lag. In a recent minor siege with it myself, I ran across a professional paper of which a co-author with a navy surgeon is one of our most distinguished army medicos. The service group has lagged behind none in its contribution to this revolution which is revising the mortality tables by amazingly extending the years of our lives. Reed, Gorgas, Keller, Grayson, Metcalf, Magee, McIntyre -they are the peers of any. The thing in this paper that would astonish anybody and which I myself have seen and felt is the tremendous advance in anaesthesia (another mystic word) and battlefield surgery since soldiers in battle have had to have their shattered legs cut off with no more surceas e than a horn of hootch. Anaesthesia means eliminating or dulling pain under the knife. This art has so far advanced that, under a compete nt surgeon, I would have little apprehension of either danger or pain under any ordinary operation. fy a in 1784 in a magazine contri} I 4.
