Scientific tests have shown that
meals which miss the proper "bulk'
tend to cause common constipation.
This condition causes discomfort,
and may lead to headaches, loss of
appetite, even serious disease.
Avoid these faulty meals by add
Ing KellogR's Aix-Bran to your
menus. It supplies generous "bulk
in convenient form. This absorbs
moistun, and gently exercises and
cleanses the system. Aix-Bran
also furnishes vitamin B and con.
tains iron.
The "bulk" in All-Bran is often
more effective than that found in
fruita and vegetables as it does not
break down within the body. Two
tablespoonfuls daily are usually
sufficient If not relieved this way,
consult your doctor.

The Story;
of The
Easter Egg
Do you know why peopla cola.
Esstsr eggs? Do you know th derlm.
tlon of the word "Eatr"t
The most anclfnt tribes of whit
there Is any record celebrated the
beginning of spring, and they colored,
eggs to express their joy in their
celebrations. The way the earliest
historical records refer to the custom
of coloring eggs gives us good reason
for believing that the custom was
known before the times of recorded
history.
Primitive peoples believed that the
egg wa a symbol of the world, and
they colored It to add a touch of
gayety to their spring festivals, irons,
the earliest sacred writings of tha
East there are references to eggs coU
ored by the Persians some time be.
tween B.ooo and 10.000 years before;
Christ. One of the first great rellgl.
c-'j leaders of Humanity was Zoroas
ter, a Persian, who lived so long ago
that no one knows his enact blrta
date. He taught his disciples that
there are two gods fighting eacU
other for possession of the world. H
took the egg as a symbol of the world
because the common people had- al.
ready accepted It. The Persians of
old, like many other pagan peoplea,
set aside a number of days In tha
early spring as publlo holidays for
great spring festivals. They saw tha
days lengthening, noticed tha
warmth of the sun Increasing, and.
knew at that season of the year tha
earth began to yield their crops.
Therefore, they called the sprinj
equinoa their New Year. They ex.
pressed their joy In music, and
laughter, and singing, and the
taised brightly colored eggs In tha)
air and gave them to each other as)
gifts, meaning "Happy New Tear.''
Suoh spring New Year festivals vera
common to the Assyrians. Babylon,
lans. Egyptians. Phoenicians, Greeks,
Romans and many others.
The colored egg has been traced ta
Abraham, and the tradition cam
down from the Chaldeans to tha
Israelites. The Chaldeans had a
divinity of spring called Istar, and
scholars have told us that the wore
"Easter" cornea from her name. Thlg
same goddess Is referred to In tha
Bible as As ta roth of the Phoenicians,
Ancient carvings on atone represent.
Istar aa holding In her hand an egg.
still the symbol of tha world, with aa
"Istar" rabbit crouching at her feet,
as tha emblem of fertility, for she
was also the goddess of the principle
of reproduction. Under the name oi
Ashtax she hat been found on Assyro
lan monuments .and was known to
the Babylonians as the queen at
heaven.
Maybe that Is why the rabbit la
associated with Easter and Is how ha
got Into the story, but hundreds of
years ago children In a small pro.
vlnce tn Germany, when they found
their beautiful colored eggs on Easter
morning, exclslmed, "No fowl ever
laid such pretty eggs; the little whlta
hare laid them." But centuries be
fore thtt the Egyptians had their
own Idea of the hare. They believed
that the nervous little animal was tn
tome way connected with the moon.
Because It frequently seeks Its food
by night, and because the little baby
bunnies are bom with their eyea
open, unlike other animals, tha
Egyptians were sure of the relation
with tha moon. They called tha
moon the open-eyed watcher of tha
night skies, and In that they saw a
likeness to the baby rabbits. This
thought was further confirmed by
the Egyptian superstition that tha
new moon is masculine and the wan.
Ing moon femlnme and the fact that
the hare was believed to have tha
power of changing Its sea. Tha
Egyptian word for hare was "un.
meaning open, to open, the opener
and so the hare was part of tha
festivals celebrating the opening of
the new year.
With Christianity spread through
out the Western world, the early
Christians avoided as many obstacles
as they could In their efforts to con.
vert the pagans. They said, In effect,
to those they hoped to persuade,
"Your spring festivals are right; we,
too, rejoice In the early spring. Let
us combine In this Joy over tha
Resurrection of Christ. It Is quits
right for you to think of the egs
as a sign of the world; see how out
of such a lifeless looking thing cornea
life In the form of the newly hatched
chick; so out of the cold rock tomo
oame the risen Lord. It Is right for
you to cfj?r your eggs bright red;
red Is the color of blood and can
now mean to you. aa It does to ua
the blood shed on the cross for the
redemption of all mankind." Tha
early Christians were good salesmen,
or politicians, or what you will. At
least they were tactful enough to
agree to allow harmless customs and
Innocent festivities. For that reason
the coloring of eggs, like many other
pagan customs, has come down to us
from the earliest times, but with a
Christian significance.
