Constipation lays you wide open to other diseases—relieve it with Kellogg’s Bran

Don’t take chances with constipation! This terrible ailment can send poisons into your system which may lead to serious diseases. The longer those poisons accumulate, the more dangerous they become. Begin at once to free your system from them. Eat Kellogg’s Bran. If eaten regularly, it is guaranteed to relieve the most chronic cases of constipation, or your grocer will return your money. Tt is nature’s own way to make the intestine function naturally and regularly—for Kellogg's Bran acts exactly as nature acts. It makes forever unnecessary the use of habit-forming drugs and pills. Kellbgg’s Bran, cooked and krumbled, has proved successful when all else has failed. This is because Kellogg *s is ALL bran. Doctors

township farmer, on August 23, 1922, were held Saturday afternoon when Judge J. 11. Barnes, of Sidney, whb has been asked' to sit in this ease, i heard four motions such as usually lure filed in similar eases. Three of | them were promptly overruled, hut I the defense won out on the fourth. The first three motions were merely "technical or legal,*” being first, a demurrer to the indictment; second a motion to quash the indictment; third, a plea in abatement; and fourth, a motion for the court to appoint a commission to take a deposition of a material witness, who resid-

- everywhere agree t hat only ALL bran 1 can be 100 per cent effective—they y recommend Kellogg ’a Bran. ' Eat at least two tablespoonfula daily—in chronic cases with every meal. You will like it. Y’ou will enjoy the delicious nut-like flavor—- - the exclusive Kellogg flavor. r Eat Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and . krumbled, with milk or cream. Sprinkle . it over other cereals. Cook it with . hot cereals. Try it in wonderful bran . , muffins, bread, griddle cakes and other . recipes given on every package. ! Kellogg’s Bran is the road back to health.

. es in the state of Washington. These motions were presented by Attorneys ' , I for the defense, John Pierce, B. M. Myers and W. E. TouVelle. ' I Judge Barnes summarily dismissed r the first three answering the various 'exceptions listed under the three moI tlons in a brief but comprehensive i manner. As has been pointed out i these objections were largely "techI ntcal." but in nearly all murder cases similar motions are filed as a loopI hole should favorable testimony unexpectedly develop. _ i In passing on the fourth motion Judge Barnes plainly showed that he ■ wants to give the defendant every opportunity to prose his innocense. Th" state objected to the appointment on -the grounds that it has been two months or more since tile assignment of the case and that these has been ample time in which to secure the deposition now desired, also that the appointment of a commission to take this deposition would cause a delay in the trial and an unnecessary delay of justice. The court, however, stated that he did not wish to exclude any testimony of a (material witness and arranged for the appointment of the Comrnis- | sion to take the deposition, as requested. In doing this Judge Barnes [Stated that he felt that it could be dqne without causing a delay in the ' rial and unless otherwise notified an- , noFnced that the trial will begin next ■ Monday morning, September 15, at ■ which time the jurors will be selecti ed.

A. Dugan will be hostess to the Bridge Club this afternoon at her home on West Monroe street.

Hensley, George Flanders, the Misses Anna and Elizabeth Carlisle and the hostess. • Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of 'he General Federation of Woman's Clubs, tells of privileges to the Club Headquarters at Washington, that etui) women may enjoy while there: “Mrs. Sherman valla the club women's attention to the privileges to be enjoyed at the headquarters by the clubwoman who is visiting Washington. ’She can have her mail and telegrams delivered there. She can rest therebetween sight-seeing jaunts, write her home letters, entertain her friends at luncheon, tea or dinner, and if she writes in advance may be able to engage a room for her stay in Washington. Headquarters is the clubwoman's home in Washington ’ The most convincing indication that clubs have come to stay is the trend of such groups to possess property, to buy them a home from which their various activities may be conducted and in which they can serve their communities better. In some states the idea has grown to such an extent that the club that has no club home is the exception rather than the rule. In order to check up the property owning clubs tn Indiana and to stimulate an inter est in this line of club activities, Mrs. Oscar M. Pittenger, president of the Indiana Federation, is sending out the following letter to Indiana clubs: 'Will yon please write me at once a brief sketch of your clubhouse enterprise; tell how financed, whether old house adapted to needs of club, how used as a community, private or civic proposition. I shall appreviate cuts if you have l <m —interior or exterior.
