WHAT MAKES
PEOPLE MOODY?
Did you know that our health
and our moods are closely related
to intestinal cleanliness?
When tho system is clogged
by constipation, poisons are
generated. Often these bring on
headaches and listlessness. You
feel blue, or become irritable.
The poisons of constipation
frequently aggravate nervous
troubles, rheumatism, high blood
pressure and heart trouble.
Yet constipation can be over
come by eating a delicious
cereal: Kellogg's All-Bran.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are
guaranteed to relieve both tempo
rary and recurring constipation.
; Try, it with milk or cream.
Use in cooking too. Recipes on
the red-and-green package. All-
' Bran also supplies iron for the
