London (U.R) A striking

government wake proposals Sat
urday and Minister of Labor Sir
Walter Monckton intervened to
try to save faltering peace talks
from breaking down.
Leaders of the striking As

Engineers and Firemen turned
down the compromise offer in a
message to the British Trans
port commission which runs the
nationalized railways.
Details of the government's
pay offer were not disclosed.
Monckton was immediately
called in to a joint session of the
commission and the union,
whose 70,000 striking members
have brought Britain's rail sys
tem to a near halt and severely
crippled the nation's economy.
It was the first time Monck
ton had entered negotiations
since the 14-day-old strike
started.
Earlier, non-striking trainmen

Try Nature's Great
Food Combination
ALL-BRAN AND MILK
FOR FITNESS AND REGULARITY
Improves Your
"Intestinal Tone"
Adds Important food Essentials to Diet
Ton know what milk is. It is generally considered nature's most
nearly perfect food.
But do you know about bran ... All-Bran? If you're interested
in a natural aid to regularity and fitness, you'll be interested in
these facta.
W. K. Kellogg pioneered Kellogg's All-Bran almost 40 years
ago. He set out to make it three great cereals in one: 1) a good-to-eat
cereal; 2) a cereal which in combination with milk would pro
vide very solid nutritional benefits; and 3) a natural remedy for
one of mankind's most common ailments, constipation due to
insufficient bulk. til
This e achieved. For Kellogg's All-Bran, the original whole
bran cereal, has become the most widely accepted and used of all
bran cereals. It has Literally helped millions.
Now as to Kellogg's All-Bran itself and why it is such a great
food the answer is simple. All-Bran is made from the vitamin and
mineral rich outer layers of the whole wheat grain. And not only
does All-Bran supply vitamins, minerals and protein it is scien
tifically milled to bring you the natural food bulk you need in its
most effective and appetizing form. All-Bran stays crisp in milk
and is easy to eat.
Yes, All-Bran does things no drug-type laxative can even begin
to accomplish it actually improves your "Intestinal Tone" which
may be below par due to insufficient bulk.
And Kellogg's All-Bran, served with milk, contributes nine
body-builders you need daily for fitness.
So why not get the safe, gentle, natural laxative cereal you know
you can depend on. Kellogg's All-Bran, the original. Eat a half
cup of Kellogg's All-Bran every morning for 10 days. If it doesn't
bring yon satisfying, effective relief from constipation, you get
double your money back. That's a prom
ise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Mich.
