IOWWEREC0MMEII Says Mrs. Jo&cpb Pare, Montreal. Quebec: "I find KELLOCC'S ALL- BRAN much more satisfactory than pills or powders. Nearly all our family suffered from constipation. Our friends suggested pills and powders, but relief was only tem- porary. Now we eat ALL- BRAN regularly and recommend it to our friends." Instead of wailing until you suffer and then dosing yourself with harsh purgatives, try ALL- BRAN'S "Better Way" to correct the cause of constipation due to the lack of the right kind of "bulk" in the diet. Eat it daily and drink plenty of water, but remember, ALL-BRAN doesn't work like a cathartic; it tiikrs time. ALL-BRAN is sold at your (racer's in two convenient size packages; at restaurants in indi- vidual serving packages. Made by Kellogg's in London, Canada. SERIAL STORY LUCKY PENNY BY GLORIA KAYE CHAPTER 1 Flaming skies were no novelty to 1'enny Kirk. She had seen London's inferno of bursting bomiis. She had raced against death in Mazing France. Now Penny drove leisurely along a road canopied, by heavens of red but this was different. The glare in the skies was friend- ly, comforting, reflecting the glowing furnaces of the Kirk mills her mills. This, Penny knew, was where she belonged. In all the years she had spent abroad she had never before thought of Kirktown as anything more than the setting for Grandfather John's stories of a career that had brought him excitingly from poverty to riches. Now the Kirk mills belonged to Penny. For the first time in the 23 years of her leisurely, lazy- life, she felt a sense of respon- sibility, a sense that here she would find a eonstructive outlet for her energies, a meaning to living. She had been sheltered, too carefully, by indulgent parents who hud sought to protect her from harsh reality. They had never taken an interest in the wills. Their life, and hers, had been luxuriously idle. Now, alone, he would have to rebuild her life from foundations shattered by the thunder of war over Europe. Penny felt as if she were rid- ing in a fabulously rosy toy bal- loon. How different, she reflect- ed, from her last long ride through France. There, too, the skies were red. Death and de- struction rode in the clouds that awful day. Penny shudTfered, remembering that wild ride from her villa to the safe haven of a port from which she could embark for the United .States. She had been crowded into an army car maneu- vered by a sullen poilu in uni- form. Her companions were a diplomat's heavy-set wife and trench-coated correspondent. The diplomat's wife fainted regularly every five minutes. The newspaperman betrayed his shaki- ness by smoking a maddeningly miles* chain of cigarettes. All bout them were havoc, destruc- tion, misery. Penny had never realized how much the simple initials "U.S.A." could mean. Not until she had crossed the dangerous Atlantic in blackened refugee ship. Xot until she stood on deck and wept unashamedly, with all the rest of the passengers, at sight of the Statue of Liberty. That trip had done something to Penny's point of view. Having Pierre create a new coiffure for her every week didn't seem so Important. He would have called British Sailors' Society II.

Aboard ship she had discovered they could inspire confidence and warmth in frightened follow pas- sengers. What good were formal evening gowns and a wardrobe that in- cluded the finest of Paris crea- tions when a trench coat provided o much protection against the sea-sprayed winds? Sophisticated conversation meant nothing to youngsters who had passed through nerve-shattering experi- ences. Mother Goose stories made them happy. So Penny learned to smile and to laugh. Her <|uiet "thumbs up" inspired new courage in others, even when she chared her dread of what the next few minutes might bring. In New York, Penny had gone to only one cocktail party. It was no good. She couldn't help con* trasting the false, forced gaiety ot her placid friends with the natural laughter of the ship-board chil- dren who were so sincere in their appreciation of her half-remem- bered stories. Without fanfare, without M much as a single newspaper inter- view, without posing for a single rotogravure picture, Penny had left New York. "I'm .somebody new," she had told herself. "1 left the old Penelope Kirk in France. Now I had better go home really home and find myself ag-ain." * The Kirk estate, overlooking a valley that was green along its upper slopes and brown along the river that served the steel mills, was more beautiful than she had dreamed it would be. Kirktown neetled iike a doll village down below. Late in the afternoon of her unheralded arrival, after caution- ing the caretaker and his wife to tell no one she had come, Penny selected a gray roadster and started out for Kirktown. The winding road down to the river was pleasant, cool in lengthening shadows. As dusk deepened, the furnaces lit the somber skies with an ever brightening glow. The summer night was calm and peaceful. The roadster neared a fork in the road. One. tangent stretched invitingly upward, toward a white building that dominated the street, and past, little houses whose lights were just now beginning to blink. Another way reached downward to the mills and the river. Penny chose the upward road. At the top of the hill, the white building she had noticed was framed in brilliant light that flooded frof hidden recesses in the shrubbery. Now Penny could see, the name above the entrance. "John Kirk Memorial Auditori- um" she rend. Penny stopped. She read the name again. "John Kirk Memorial Auditorium." How like (iramifathcr John to present so fine a- gift tn his town. * * * Nothing she had ever experi- enced could equal Penny's thrill as she stood now, a tiny figure, staring up at the gracefully col- onnaded edifice, so like a (irecinn temple.

At the foot of the hill stretched the giant, bu.'y mills, making fiery sacrifice every night and all through the dny to this shrine of their founder. For a long time Penny remained thus, in worshipful silence, obliv- ious to the murmur of .conversa- tion of strollers who passed by. Her awakening was rude. She heard a bitter, vicious voice, whose words she knew could not have been directed to her. Hut they seared her like a hot iron pressed against her flesh. "John Kirk Memorial Audito- rium ! They should have shaped it into a heart of stone. That's what John Kirk was really like. The poor devils who sweated and sickened and died to build this thing! They lived in ratholes and dressed in rags so he could have the glory of a pretty marble pal- ace to show them how puny they really are.' 1 Slowly Penny turned to face the speaker. Her cheeks were flushed with anger. Her tongue was ready to lash out in biting rebuttal. Then .she stopped, and stared in wide-eyed amazement. Jim Vickers? It couldn't be! There was no mistaking him. The last time Penny had seen Jim. Vickers had been several years earlier in Paris. He hadn't changed at all. What strange coincidence h.id brought this tall, broad - shouldered, tweed - suited man to Kirktown? She knew that round, boyish face. She knew his searching, troubled blue eyes. Jim Vickers, apple-checked, good-humored, ace correspondent for a New York newspaper, had been i familiar figure in her circle abroad. He passed within a few inches of her, but showed no sign of recognition. Of course he wouldn't know her, Penny realized. She had been much younger then. She had changed. Strangely, as if she were listen- ing to a hazy voice in an impos- sible nightmare, she heard Jim Vickers say: "The Kirks were a pretty sel- fish breed. 1 met John Kirk's granddaughter abroad. A littla snip of a spoiled brat without an ounce of common sense in her head. She owns the Kirk mills now." Penny felt lonely and sick at heart. Should she risk further disillusionment by visiting the mills and the town named for her family? Would she find the Kirk name a disgrace rather than a proud heritage? Wouldn't it be better to rediscover her.elf in some gentler way ? "I'll sleep on it," she det-ided, driving slowly, thoughtfully home. ntinued Next Week) iving s ~-"~f> Mustard Poultice On Paper Napkin Where illness has developed which requires the application ot mustard poultices, an excellent method is to spread the mustard mixture on a thin paper table nap- kin. Put a second one over th mustard and put them between a folded piece of cheesecloth or thin flannel or cotton. After the poul- tice is removed, the paper con- taining it can b* thrown away, and it is a simple matter to wash out the covering cloth BO it can be used again and again. To make the poultice, mix two or more tablespoons of flour to one of mustard, with enough water to form a smooth paste. Spread it over the paper napkin to form a six by eight-Inch rec- tangle, and after greasing the skin with vaseline, leave the poul- tice on the chest, back, or what- ever part of the body is in pain or congested, for 10 to 20 min- utes until the skin turns a deep pink color. Mustard Is very effec- tive when used as a poultice, and this is the most convenient way to prepare one. Sailors of Empire Meet In London For over a century the Sailors of the Empire and their friends have been invited by the Lord Mayor of London to meet with him at the Mansion House. The 123rd Annual Meeting was held there recently. The Lord Mayor, in keeping with all the dignit) and bearing of his high and anci- ent office presided and was sup- ported by a distinguished com- pany. The Rt. Hon. Sir Frederick Sykcs, the Honorary Treasurer of the Society, referred to the heavy expenditure involved in the war commitments of the Society and the obligations resting on the Society, which would have to be met after the war, for the rein- statement of many of the prop- erties that have been rented or requinitioned and adapted to meet the present needs. These obliga- tions made it of importance that sufficient of the funds should be reserved to provide what may be required, and Sir Frederick urged the supporters of the Society to have the suggestion much in mind. In a cordial reference to the generosity and valuable hon- orary services of the friends of ROYAL SISTERS OF EGYPT Attractive daughters of the Nile are Princesses Ferial, 4, and Fiiwzia, 3, children of King Farouk and Queen Farida of Egypt. the Society, he mentioned speci- ally The British War Relief Soci- ety of the U.S.A., the Merchant Navy Fund of Capetown, and the Canadian Red Cross Society. Pointers On Making Sheets Last Longer Making sheets last longer be- comes the duty of eveiy Tmime household. For this reason Con- sumer Information Service has suggested a number of ways to extend their wear. Sheets should be washed as soon as possible after use. Oils and acids on the skin's surface will shorten the life of sheets. All traces of soap should be rinsed out completely. Also they should not be subjected to strong, caustic- bleaches. They should be dried evenly without pulling. In ironing too hot an iron should be avoided, and care should be taken that the folds are not pressed at all. As a matter of fact to save electric, power and time_ it is better to press only the top three or four feet. Beds should be made properly. Kdges smoothed under the mat- trest get less abrasive wear than bunched-under edges. They hould also not be yanked off the bed, but should be loosened first. A mattress pad between the sheet and mattress will lengthen the sheet's life. Sheets should never be used to bundle- up the weekly washing. That's what laundry bajre are for. Soil beneath nearly half the surface of Russia is permanently frozen, according to a Moscow re- port. A SLIP FOR MATRONS By Anne Adamt Here's a slip style designed especially for the larger figure!

TABLE TALKS SADIE B. CHAMBERS Our Garden Friends Vegetables are among our best friends. More vegetables on the table mean fewer medicine bottles in the cupboard. The best tonics come from such simple cheap vegetables as, spinach, carrots, beet greens, dandelion greens, beans, chard, potatoes, etc. The beet laxatives also come from these sources. Vegetables are rich in the substances which we need for good teeth, good blood and for regulating the activity ot the body. Vegetables also furnish the balk which is necessary for the healthy regular action of the intestinal tract. The very common statement that "potatoes are all starch" is not true. Because they can be eaten in fairly large quantities, they furnish the body with con- siderable iron and they also pro- vide one of the important regu- lating materials necessary for re- sistance to disease, for growth, for healthy gums and strong bones. Tomatoes also provide this same regulating substance. In the spring, when old vege- tables are very poor in quality and new ones are expensive it is better to buy canned varieties such as peas, beans, corn and beets. Let us watch Mrs. Economy and Mrs. Extravagance go shopping for 50 cents worth of fresh vege- tables in early winter. Mrs. Economy shops around nd decides that carrots, cabbage and turnips will give the biggest return for her money. Mrs. Extravagance sees some tomatoes and decides to have to- mato sandwiches instead of both- ering to cook a meal. Mrs. Economy 1 can tomatoes 12c 4 Ibs. carrots 8c 4 Ibs. cabbage (2 small) lOc 30c MM. Extravaganc* 1 Ib. tomatoes ... 80c S0 Airs. Economy obtained: 20 times, the energy value, 11 times the material for re- pair and muscle building, 40 times the amount of mineral needed for strong teeth and bones, 17 times the amount of min- eral needed for blood building. Many people do not like vege- tables because they are frequently poorly prepared. Here arc some of the reasons why the children refuse one of the most important and valuable foods in the diet: 1. Overcooking this ruins flavor and appearance and makes the vegetables soggy, mushy, or otherwise unpleasant in texture. 2. Poor seasoning lack of seasoning frequently makes vege- tables flat in taste. 3. Lack of care in preparation thorough cleaning, careful par- ing and careful slicing or cutting 'make the vegetables more attrac- tive. Mrs. Extravagance's children do not like many of the common vegetables. When she prepares them they are usually tasteless, watery and unattractive in ap- pearance. Her family rarely tastes them and the rest BO in the garbage , r Mrs. Economy on the other hand realizes that care in pre- paration i). as important as care in buying, so she carefully fol- lows the iiiles, some of which will be given in the next issue.

Don't Turn Rayon Hosiery While Wet The importance of hai.dling rayon stockings gently when washing them is reflected in the advice of hosiery experts who warn ngrainst turning them inside out while wet. K:iyon is known to lose much of its strength in water. Daily washing in a mild, tepid suds eliminates the necessity for rub- bing. After several rinses moi*- ture should be removed by wrap- ping in a towel, then hanging t<> dry for 48 hours away from direct, heat or sunlight. Cotton feet and welt on rayon legs are recommended as good combinations for durability. Darn- ing thin spots before the threads break will also prolong wear. Germany's Most Precious Treasure The German Army newspaper Die Wehrmacht, describing the formatio.n 3Vj years ago of a "very special battalion'' of the German army, consisting of pick- ed men from all branches, equip- ped with the finest weapons, said, according to a British broodcast : "The very special job of tfm battalion is to guard from all dangers the most precious treas- ure the German people possess " The treasure, the paper said, is Adolf Hitlei. Britons Get One Egg Each Month Fresh eggs, as rare as sirloin tteaks, return to ordinary con- umer this month on at least token basis. Ordinary consum- ers will get one fresh egg a month.
