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 a 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 for breakfast every day and drink plenty of water. All-Bran Isn’t a 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.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) ‘Swing Style’ Reading Not New; The Greeks Had a Word for It Every now and then, the news papers report a “brand new” idea or a “brand new” discovery. Take, for instance, the report about “swing reading.” Accord ing to recent headlines, “swing reading” is the latest thing imag inable—the invention of two smart eye doctors in Los Angeles. As the papers say, the doctors disclosed their “idea” a short time ago at a national convention of the American (jptometric association. Advocating a new system of print ing in “swing style,” the doctors said they had something that would help the eyes. In short, they urged this type of thing: Many of the convention delegates a rof snoisses dennuhs yadretsey day on the golf course. The weath- .enif saw re This little excerpt must be read by swinging the eyes left to right along one line, then right to left along the next, and so on. Well, we don’t like to make our selves seem scholarly, but the doc tors have unwittingly dug up something pretty old. As a mat ter of fact, the ancient Greeks had a word for it, used the system and gave it up. They called it boustrophedon, and you can find the word in a good dictionary even to this day. Pronounced boo «*r,n- fee-don, with the accent on the third syllable, it means literally “turning like oxen in plowing.” It is a compound of two Greek words—bous, meaning ox, and strephein, meaning to turn. P. S. Incidentally, the excerpt quoted above reads normally this way: “Many of the convention delegates yesterday shunned ses sions for a day on the golf course. The weather,was fine.” Anybody else got a new idea?— Pathfinder. Finally Name Was O. K. Though Not ‘O, 9 but ‘K* A gentleman had completed his purchases, and the clerk, in filling out the sales slip, asked: “What is the name, please?” “Jepson,” replied our hero. “Six teen twenty-one West—” “Your first initial, please.” “Oh, K.” “O. K. Jepson.” ; “I said ‘Oh.’ ” • • “O. Jepson.” “No. Rub out the O.” The clerk began to look hag gard. ' ’ “Your initials again, please?”^ “I said‘K.’” ..f “Pardon, you said ‘O. K.’” . t *• “I said ‘Oh’—” “Just now you said ‘K.’ ” “I said ‘Oh,’ because I didn’t' understand what you were asking me. I didn’t mean it was my ini tial. My name is Kirby Jepson.'* “Oh.” “No. Not O, but K. Here, giv* me the pencil and I’ll write it my self. There, I guess it’s O. K. now.”—Annapolis Log.
