large percentage of the women busy
on quilts of wide varieties of beau
tiful patterns, the group has decided
to do a generous thing. They are
announcing a quilt display and a
hooked rug display and to this all
the womenand men too, of La
Grande and the valley are invited.
The display is to be held at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hackman,
407 Main street. The date is Tues
day, May 20 and the hours are to be
from 3:00 to 5:00 o'clock In the after

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. ,

SO YEARS A MARTYR
TO CONSTIPATION
But Kellogg's All-Bean
Brought Welcome Relief
Read this splendid letter from
Mrs. Iluyncs:
"For BO years I havo been
martyr to constipation. 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. It's
so much safer than taking patent
medicines! Two tablespoonfuls oi
All-Bran daily are usually suffi
cient. Severe cases, with each meal.
If not relieved this way, see your
doctor.
