Poppy Money To Be Used To Aid Disabled Vets Continuation of the extensive work for the welfare of disabled World war veterans and their families, carried out by the American Legion and Its auxiliary, will be mado possible by means of the memorial popples which will be distributed throughout the nation next Saturday, according to Bertha Flanery, rehabilitation chair man of the local auxiliary unit. Con tributions for the popples will form the principal source of support for the legion and auxiliary's welfare work during the coming twelve months, she said. "Even beforo the curtailment of governmental benefits for the dis abled, a vast amount of relief and rehabilitation work was left for the legion and auxiliary to do." Mrs. Flanery explained. "Federal economy measures last year lncrea.sed this greatly. Because of the inflexibility of laws and the necessary technicali ties guarding governmental expendi tures, the government was never able to reach all the needy disabled, and now the number left without govern, ment aid is larger than ever beforo. "Here In La Grande our unit of the American Legion auxiliary has a con stant relief and rehabilitation prob lem. Disabled veterans are under a severe handicap when they compete with abled-bodlcd men for employ ment, even In good times, and under present conditions their situation Is frequently desperate." ThT' American Legion and auxiliary always have been their friends In need and with the help of those who wear the poppy Saturday, we will continue to be dur ing the coming year. , l The auxiliary women who will dls tribute the poppies will work as vol' unteers and all of the money con tributed for the little red flowers of remembrance will go to the rehabili that Chesterfields are Milder that Chesterfields Taste Better tation and child welfare funds of the legion and auxiliary. , GEO.

Have tried every remedy under the sun. "One day I read an account oi some ono who had been relieved by All-Bran, but I thought 'What was tho use of mo trying anything more when all else had failed?' "A while after, I read it again. That time I thought I would try it, it would do no harm anyway. "I began with a small dish of your All-Bran for breakfast, and wonderful to say, I never need to take any physic at all now. How 1 wish other poor sufferers from con stipation could be persuaded to try it." Mrs. Sarah Haynes, 138 Ce darwood Terrace, Rochester, N. Y. Tests show Kellogg's All-Bran provides "bulk" and vitamin B to aid regular habits. Also iron for the blood. This "bulk" in All-Bran is much liko that in leafy vegetables.
