ALLEN COUNTY MAN IS ROBBED ——- Lake Township Farmer SluvKed And Robbed By Three Men Fort Wayne, Ind., Jam 22.— (UP) —Harry Forbing, 60, farmer of Lake township, was slugged and robbed of $9.25 last night by three men who forced their way into his home. Forbing, a bachelor, reached for an axe when the men entered the house but one of them struck him on the head with a revolver, cutting a gash in his forehead. The victim was overpowered while the robbers ransacked the house for loot other than that taken from Forbing’s pockets. After a futile search, the men heated a poker witn which they threatened to torture the man unless lie re-1 vealed where the remainder of his ; money was hidden. Forbing insisted that they had taken all he had and they left. With blood oozing from his head wound. Forbing walked several miles in the near-zero weather to report the crime. The robbery was the third of its kind in that vicinity in the past two weeks.. o PRIMARY LAWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ON 17 ber would eliminate lengthy ansj expensive campaign since only months would intervene beftw the , general election.

The bill proposes to reduce the j size of ballots by requiring candi-: dates to file petitions signed by one-half of one per cent of the electorate who voted for secretary of state in tne preceding election. In cases of mayoralty candidates, the last vote for that office would determine the number of signers necessary to assure place on the ballot. Another provision in the bill aimed at reducing the number of candidates would require office seekers to file a fee equal to one per cent of the annual salary of the office sought. The fee would be returned to candidates receiving 10 per cent of all the votes cast by his party. Another bill ready for the senate today was the measure draft-'

“FELT MISERABLE MOST OHHE TIME” Then Kellogg’s All-Bran Checked Her Constipation* Read Mrs. Marsden’s letter: “I have been a subject of constipation* for the last 11 years. I felt miserable and irritable most of the time. My husband is a manager of a chain store. He said ‘Why don’t you try Kellogg’s All-Bran?’ “All-Bran helped me right away. I have taken it now for the past 5 months, and I am as regular as a clock. My health is fine, and I am full of pep.”—Mrs. Charles Marsden, 681 Merrick St., Detroit, Mich. ★Constipation due to insufficient “bulk" in meals. All-Bran provides gentle “bulk” to aid regular habits. It also supplies vitamin B and iron. The “bulk” of All-Bran is more effective than the “bulk” in fruits and vegetables, as it does not break down within the body. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. If not corrected this way, see your doctor. Isn't this food much pleasanter and safer than risking patent medicines? Get the red-and-green package at wgjf your grocer’s.
