The "cradle of the Renaissance" is situated on the Arno River, in central Italy, says the National Georgraphic Society. In normal times this city of nearly people attracted many tourists, but looked to trade and manufacturing for its basic prosperity. Art is still important in city's industry. Florentine craftsmen are renowned for their works of wrought iron, gold and silver, and embossed leather.

Other specialties include pottery, chandeliers, period furniture, and Inlaid wood. Tourists Stuck to Culture Florence also has foundries and machine shops, silk and woolen mills, motor car works, glass works, straw hat factories, and flour mills.

They bought jewelry, embossed leather purses and book covers, and possibly crossed the Ponte Vecchio to the potteries to purchase prized majolica ware.

Had been taking pills and salts almnet every night. 6 weeks ago, 1 started eating KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN ever morning. Soon I had regular movements without any trouble.

I can't praise ALL-BRAN enough. It mira works wonders for me." Mr. C. Zook, Box 114, Falrbury. 11L How can such amazing results for thousands be explained? Scientists say it'a because KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN is one of Nature's most effective sources of certain "cellulosic" elements, lack of which in the diet is a common cause of constipation.

They help the friendly colonic flora fluff up and prepare the colonic wastes for easy, natural elimination. KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN is not a purgative.

Synthetic Rubber May Stymie Brazil Belem, ParaFelixberto Camar-go, director of the Agricultural Institute of the North, has warned that Brazil cannot compete in the postwar rubber market against U.

Brazilian rubber, which cannot profitably sell for less than 40 cents a pound, he says, must be reduced to a dime a pound to hold its own against the 18-20 cent prewar price of the far east and the rapidly dropping price of synthetic.

He urges Brazil to develop high producing, blight resistant rubber trees such as he and North American experts are already working on and create a network of government-subsidized small-landowners in the Amazon. $850 Three-button classic in Shetland type wool, Sizes 12 to 18, Select Your SUIT or COAT NOW!
