You're Constipated When there's something wrong with you, the first rule is: get at the cause. If you are constipated, don't endure it first and "cure" it afterward. Find out what's giving you the trouble.

Chances are it's simple if you eat the super-refined foods most people do: meat, white bread, potatoes. It's likely you don't get enough "bulk." And "bulk" doesn't mean a lot of food. It's a kind of food that isn't consumed in the body, but leaves a soft "bulky" mass in the intestines and helps a bowel movement. If this is your trouble, you should eat a natural "bulk" producing food such a one as the crunchy. toasted, ready -to -eat cereal, Kellogg's All-Bran.

Final instructions were given today to a corps of 200 cashiers, supervisors and clerks who will be in charge of the 12 district stations. Two employes, Dorothy LeVelle, 235 S.

'because of the necessity of climbing stairs." Farmers who had used the space that is now leased to the Federal aeency free, opposed bitterly being driven from their quarters. Councilmen James L.

OToole and Fred W. Weir opposed letting: the space to the stamp plan, suggesting that less valuable quarters could be found. Cites Low Farmers' Kent Director Barr submitted figures Fhowing the section of floor allotted the farmers' market brings in $1675 a year rental, while the regular standholders pay a total of annually. "It is doubtful." he said, "if the rentals paid by the farmers is sufficient to pay for the light, heat and janitor service to keep their space going." The North Side Market was repaired several years ago at a cost of $275,036 for which rentals are used to pay off the indebtedness. Indications are the plan will be in operation in Pittsburgh.
