APPROPRIATION
ECONOMY SEEN
WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.—_
Economy and exoed -n were goals
set today by Chairman Byrns of
the house appropriations commit
tee in the handling the big gov
ernment supply bills during ‘the
coming session of congress.
As head of the powerful group
which formulates appropriation
measures. Byrns said every effort
would be made to cut government
expenditures and thereby reduce
the treasury' deficit. In' addition,
at least three of the bills are to be
ready for immediate consideration
when congress convenes for the
short session.
Byms said that while no goal
cou’.d be set now as to how much
federal expenditures could be
slashed for the fiscal vear. 1934.
the committee will "continue its
successful effort for economy by
making reductions • herever pos
sible."
“I do not see how It will be
possibi? to restore the salaries trj
federal emplovees that they en -
joyed during the past year." Byrns
said. "With the government’s rev
enue reduced the employees’ salary
cut will be continued for anoth *'r
year in all probability."
It was variously estimated that
the reduction in salaries and t he
furlough system considered by t he
last congress would save from
$65,000,000 to $85,000,000.

straight and still from a limb that
even the birds think him a s mall

NOW SCIENCE TEL’iS
WHY BRAN IS SO
GOOD FOR HEALTH
Kellogg’s All Bran Has
“Bulk” and Vitamin B;
Also Healthful Iren
By using Kellogg’s Al L-BraN,
millions of people have r vercome
common constipation, and t he head
aches, loss of appetite ami energy
that so frequently result.
New laboratory tests sb<ow All
Bran supplies two things needed to
overcome temporary and recurring
constipation: ‘ Bulk'’ to exorcise the
intestines. Vitamin B to help tone
the intestinal tract.
The “bulk” in All-Br.\n is much
like that of lettuce. Withi p the body,
it forms a soft mass. Gently it
clears the intestines of n*astes.
Further experiments prrove All
Bran provides twice as rr uch blood
building iron as an e^pjal amount
by weight of beef liver.
Eat this delicious cere*! and avoid
pills and drugs. They cause artifi
cial action, and often l'*ad to harm
ful habits.
Try two tablespoonfuls of
Kelloggs All-Bran daily — suffi
cient to overcome most types of con
stipation. If your inbj&tinal trouble
is not relieved this vmy, see your
doctor.
All-Bran has a <|elicious, nut
sweet flavor. Enjoy a « a cereal with
milk or cream, or u re in making
fluffy bran muffins, b reads, omelets,
etc. Recipes on the red-and-green
package. Sold by all grocers. Made
by Kellogg in Battle, Creek.

OPPONENTS TO
FERGUSONISM!
SPLFH WAYS
AUSTIN. Sept. 27.—(JP)— Those
opposed to the election of Mrs
Miriam A. Ferguson to the Texas
governorship are spilt three ways
The republicans are not solidly
behind their man. Orville Builing
ton. The disgruntled democrats are
divided between George W. Arm
strong cf Fort Worth, independ
ent, and Bullington. or someone not
yet named who might be launched
by that faction.
It would seem to the side-line
spectator that shculd Mrs. Fer
guson’s name go on the general
election ballots as the democratic
nominee, she would win easily
with the ranks of her opposition
so scattered. It is a cinch that the
Ferguson partisans will go to the
polls in solid front.
Many Splits
Many of those who voted for Gov.
R. S. Sterling in the primary have
bowed to defeat, although bitter
for some, and intend to be demo
crats in Novem’
There was no stronger advocate
of Gov. Sterling's renommatlon
than Rep. Harry- N. Graves of
Georgetown. Yet. on the floor ot
the house of representatives re
cently he told legislators that he
did not have any sympathy for
the court contest instituted by the
Sterling faction.
Take the case of R J. Boyle of
San Antonio, long-time power in
Texas politics. He had made up
his mind to stay aloof from the
partisan gubernatorial fight and
to forego politics entirely fee a
i season.
But when the nomination of Mrs.
Ferguson was challenged, he put
I on his democratic fighting clothes
i and went to the Lubbock state
convention to *e that the *'wiil
of he people" was not subverted.
' as he put It. There were many
others there of Erie's attitude.
Never Stood I’p
Tt seems ' always will be diffi
cult to turn down a democratic
nominee after those of that poli
tical faith settle their controversies
at the ballot box.
Of course, things could change
easily, should Qov. sterlings con
test case ge* started 1- time and
reveal things that may be. as yet.
beneath the surface. But demo
crats in Texas will be democrats.
It seems, unless sculduggery crops
out. A contest of a democratic
nomination to state office in Tex
as never has stood up.
