MARSHALL 819 OreCoa Bide PHn 5509 EVERY WOMAN faces this question "How do I look to other people?" If you have a lovely skin, attractive eyes, and plenty of enthusiasm, you need not worry. So many women, though, risk their beauty by neglect of constipa tion. It often causes loss of pep, sallow skins, dull eyes, pimples. Yet constipation can be overcome by eating Keilogg's All-Bran. This cereal provides "bulk" to exercise the intestines, and Vitamin B which tones the intestinal tract. All-Bkan also supplies iron for the blood. The "bulk" in Axl-Bban is much like that of lettuce. Special cooking processes make it finer, more pal atable. It is cot habit-forming. Surely this is safer than abusing the system with pills, and drugs so often habit-forming. Two tablespoonfuls daily will correct most types of constipation. If your intestinal trouble is not re lieved this way, see your doctor. At all grocers. In the red -and -green package. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
