**How I stopped dosing constipation" "Sure I'm another booster for all- BRAN for constipation like mine. Imagine -no more need for those nasty purgatives which griped, yet helped only briefly. Believe me, eating AIX- BRAN is much better and far gentler. It's my idea of the way to keep regular." It's simple and gentle. That's the beauty of the AU.-BRAN wayâ€" if your constipation is due to lack of "bulk" in tlie diet. Here's all you do. Eat KEU.ocG'S ALL-BRAN every day, as a cereal or in several hot muffinsâ€" and drink plenty of watw. ALL-BRAN hel|'>s to produce smooth-working "bulk" and prepare wastes for easy elimination. The comforting relief convinces you it's wise to eat ALL- BRAN daily to stay regular. Remem- ber, it's a cerealâ€" not a medicine. So get ALL-BRAN at youT grocer's. 2 handy sizes.

Traffic On Great Lakes Is Reopened Reopening of the Great Lakes water route emphasizes the tre- mendous volume of ship trans- portation on the lakes and the part this plays in the war efforts of Canada and the United States, comments The London Free Press. The Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence river form one of the busiest waterways in the world. More traffic passes up and down the Detroit river than on any other waterway in the world. Traffic through the Detroit river reached a peak of 111,346,567 tons in 1940, the last year for which there are official figures. By the end of 1943 more than 110,000,000 tons of freight had passed through the canals at Sault Ste. ifaric. In the same year more than 2,000 â- easels cleard from Port Arthur and Fort William, two busiest Canadian Lake ports. These figures are a long way ahead of statistics for either the Suez or Pauan)a canals and give an indication of the iinportancc of these routes to the Allied war effort. The Great I-akes lie at the heart of the "arsenal of democ- racy"; their ships and their crews render one of the most essential services of the United Nations.

SERIAL STORY Murder on the Boardwdlk BY ELINORE COWAN STONE • ••-»jes«-r Last Week: Christine does a portrait of Chandra, an Oriental ivvami, finds her new job pays gen- erously. She finds a message pin- ned to her easel: "If you are wor- ried, consult Chandra." She goes to the Oriental's "Tempe of Truth.'" CHAPTER IV From within the "Temple of Truth" came the tinkle of bells and the wailing of pipes. "Well, at least this is free," Christine .said aloud, "and after all, he yavc me my start on the Boardwalk." .She slipped in?ide. On a stage designed to suggest all the mystery of the Orient, two slim girls, dressed as temple dancers, were gyrating and pros- trating themselves as if before an unseen presence. \ dcei) gong souned, and they scurried from sight. From behind a screen of grilhvork that simu- lated delicately carved white mar- ble, a shining figure in silver robes appeared as if by magic. He moved majestically forward and stood for a moment, his arms crossed on his chest, his dark face lifted as if waiting â€" listening. Then he intoned in a deep, vibrant voice. "Thy servant is ready, O Kri.shnal Speak through these un- worthy lips." » • » For a while Chandra's perform- ance was iiinch like others Chris- tine had attended. He described small objects, gave the numbers of license cards, the insignia of lodge emblems, and the dates on letters which an 'assistant in a white turban took from people sit- ting here and there and held, ap- parently without glancing at them, pressed ag.Tinst his own forehead. He read and answered questions without having seen or touched the cards on which they were written: ".\ lady wishes to know about a ring. . . . Yes, I see it clearly â€" an emerald set in diamonds. . . . She thinks a maid stole it." Suddeiilj' the strange tawny eyes in the dark face fixed them- selves upon a stout woman near Christine. "No, jMadame, she did not take it. Von should have looked more carefully," Chandra went on sternly, "before you accused a helpless servant of such a crime. Why, Madame, did it not occur to you that the ring might have slipped through that rip in the lining of your purse?' * V • "Why not look now?" Chandra snggested. Then, as the woman hesitated, he almost thundered "Look now, Madame, and be thankful that it is not too late to repair the mischief you have done!" The woman fumbled in her pursfj cried out â€" a bit too sharply, Christine thought â€" and held aloft something that glittered with green fire. "Oh, I am so sorry about that girl," she stammered. "I â€" I don't know how to thank you, Swami," "Do not thank me, Madame," Chandra told her., "It is the great god Krishna you must thank." "The great god â€" my footl" Christine thought derisively. "And that stooge's actiitg was terrible." All around she heard uiunnurs: "Isn't llic swanii marvelous?" . , . "He told my sister who â€" " , . . " â€" and it happened the very day he said it would!'' ♦ ♦ * 'Jhen abruptly, in the midst of a sentence, Chandra broke off, pressed his fingers to his eyes, and saidâ€" a ilartled note in his deep, somnolent voice, "But this must wait, . . .There comes to me â€" something uregent!'' One coiild almost feel the silence in the rootu. "There is here at this moment," Chandra was going on, "a young woman who badly needs advice. ... I will not name her I will not even describe her or tell where she is sitting. I am particularly anxious neither to embarrass nor annoy her â€" â-  because the word has come to me that I must help her if I can." Behind Christine a voice said, "I never saw him do anjthing like this before. It gives me the creeps.'' It gave Christine the creeps. Whether it was deliberate trick- ery with the illumination or not, all the light in the room seemed to gather itself about the glittering figure on the platform. "Within the last 24 hours," Chandra went on, "this young lady has encountered a series of surprising experiences. She has met with a grave disappointment; she has, by a strange coincidence, unexpectedly found work when she most needed it." * * * No one in the room seemed to breathe â€" least of all Christine. "During the last 24 hours," »the "swami" was going on, "this young lady has also received a mysteri- ous telephone communication con- cerning something very near to her own safety, which I fear she has already decided to disregard." "But," Christine thought with a sickening clutch of premonition, "why â€" he can't mean me!" She did not know whether she moved, or even spoke the words aloud. In any event, there was a sudden craning of necks. "I must ask for quiet!" Chan- dra's voice crackled. "Vou will, if you please, keep your eyes on me." His own strange, fawny eyes were not on Christine, but widened on space, as if following some remote vision; yet she felt that they did not miss a flicker of her eyelids; and that deep, hypnotic voice was compelling her to listen. "I would beg of that young lady," he was going on, his tone suddenly gentle and pleading, "that she think over the events of the past 24 hours. ... I would beg, for instance, that she try to remember whether, when she re- turned to her room this afternoon, there was anything about its ap- pearance that excited her sus- picion. . . . And now, if she will, come to me privately, I shall be glad to advise her, at no cost to hersef â€" because the word comes to me that this is a thing I must do." » * * His eyes swept the spellbound audience comniandingly. "That is all, my friends," he said. "Go in peace!" He raised his arms in what was almost a gesture of blessing; and the aiulience filed obediently out. , As they went, Christine saw faces turned toward her â€" some touched with superstitious awe, some curi- ous â€" some auuised. Christine, restored to sanity by those glances, blazed with anger. She had once read a book callei' "An Expose of the Medium Rack- et." It was all entirely clear to her now. Of couise that girl at the Beachmont telephone e.K- changc was a paid spy. • • * When Chirstinc had recalled last night's conversation in the clear light of morning, it had entirely lost the frightening strangeness her own confusion and i fatigue had l.-nt it the night be- | fore. Of course everyone in Beachmont knew Who Mrs. I.nima Talbert was. Probably (.o.isin Kmma had telephoned i.>trUinioi:s to someone to sec thr.t her g.:fst went to the Cresiviev,. and the \o*diayf as always, the *Salada' label is your guarantee of a uniform blend of fine quality teas. TSA. operator had overheard; and in her hurried attempt to pass on the information, had not had time to choose her words. But now it was not possible to put so innocent a construction upon the girl's strange behavior. Of course she was this man's spy. . . . How easy to listen in, and find out that one of the wealthiest women oij the beach was expect- ing a cousin to visit her, and the name of that cousin. . . . How easy, when the cousin called the house and found her hostess absent, to suggest a hotel Vnd how easy afterwards for this charlatan to have had her every movement watched! "Well anyhow," Christine thought, "he's not going to make a Roman holiday of me and get away with it." When the rest of the audience filed out, she remained stonily in her seat. The clairvoyant came to her at once. (Continued Next Week.) What New Big War Orders Mean W'ord conies that Canada is back in heavy munitions with some of the largest orders that haye been plac- ed here since the beginning of the war; and over the news arc head- lines telling that "huge orders for shells re(|uire 10,000 workers." But the real significance of these big new orders is not in the em- ployment they will give 10,000 workers. It is in what they te!l of realization in the highest quarters that this war is far from over. It is something to consider these days, when we are being asked to support the present war loan. â€" Ottawa Journal We Have Money To Buy Bonds The few Canadians who imagine that this nation lacks the money to buy Victory Bonds should look at the latest figures of the Bank of Canada.

People bought 61 per cent more goods in Canada last: year than in the pre-war years. But even this enormous spending has increased in the first months of 1944. In January of this year spend- ing stood at 167, only a fraction of a point below the great Christ- mas spending month of December, Canada, judged by the surest test, its abiHty to buy goods, is more prosperous than ever, is get- ting more goods than ever, even after the figures for sales are ad- justed to cover an undotilited in- crease in price. The '.'anadiaii people thus have more than enough money to put over the new Victory Loan without the least sacrifice, and the very fact of their huge money income is the most urgent reason for the loan. Parr of this income must be put bj', saved, or the attempt to spend ir uow on goods, which are limited in supply, will inevitably bid up prices.
