AND YOU WILL WIN. In the first place, Kellogg’s Bran is delicious in its nut-like flavor, add- ing greatly to any cereal with which it is used. Eat bran as a cereal with hot milk, or mix it with hot cereal before serving., Another method is to cook Kellogg’s Bran with cereal. In each case add two tablespoonfuls of bran for each person. A popular way i8 to sprinkle bran on hot or cold cereal. Bran makes wonderful bakery products. Recipes are printed on every package. Kellogg’s Bran is served in leading hotels, restaurants and elubs. It is sold by all grocers. Constipation and the toxic poison- ings that come from it not only take the enthusiasm out of life, making you depressed and physically and mentally dull—but they head you into diseases such as Bright s, diabetes, rheumatism, ete. You can actually rid yourself of these dangers if you will EAT KELLOGG’S BRAN REGULARLY! —at least two tablespoonfuls daily; in chronic cases with every meal! Kellogg’s Bran is nature’s most wonderful food. It is scientifically prepared to relieve suffering humanity from constipation and it will do that a8 no other food can! Don’t take a chance of ¢“getting away’’ with consti- pation=IT WILL GET YOU! Don't ruin your health with pills and cathar- tics—they are as dangerous as consti- pation itself and give but temporary relief, at the very best! has de. | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1923, ~~active buoyant, gripped with ener- gy and vital force, and leader of the aopposition in the chamber of deputles, He 1s well known in America, for he lectured at Harvard university some years ago and during the war was I'rench high commissioner at Wash- ington, No parliament in a republiec would be real without an opposition, and the fact that Tardieu heads the party that keops it eye on every move of the ecab- inet does not mean that in these days {of troublesome reconstruction he s in any sense less patriotic than his fel- low countrymen, | Tardicu a Republican Tardieu is a moderate republican, He belleves that the majority of the chamber has been conducted by the governments since 1920 in a way which properly safeguards neither the external nor the internal policies of I'rance, and that the bureaucratic | machinery of the old ante-war or- ganization, which is out of sympathy |with modern ideas of progress, is too influential, He believes that before the elections of next spring the gov- ernment should come into office which will be less disposed to bargain with the radicals and put them in office, | and which will openly proclaim itself moderate, He is convinced that the time has come when France should!| be governed by a younger generation, not necessarily lawyers and orators, and that the school represented by Poincare, Barthou, Briand and Cail- laux has lost touch with present day realities. Such men, in his opinlon, have been too close to the mental cur- | rent of fear of Germany. He belicves there is a place in France for & stronger and more efficient policy both at home and abroad, because France {s the strongest nation in Bur- ope and must go resolutely forward | to the attainment of results which shall be the final test of her greatness, He thinks that the French occup: tion of the Ruhr was insufficiently prepared and lacks adequate organi- zation, | ¥rench Should Know America The United States, which Tardieu | knows so well, strikes him from this| angle. He deems that an urgent need of the French people is that they should know America and Americans {better. Much has been said, as he/ | puts it, about Americans not under- standing the Irench, but he is con- founded at the amazing ignorance of the French concerning the United States. He would, therefore, have more news come directly from the United States to France, and less through London and English news- papers. He belfeves that every lead- | ing newspaper of France should have | its own special correspondent in Am-| erica, so that the people of Irance| may have placed before them a direct | interpretation of American events, | American politics and American as-| pirations. Conversely, he favors the | establishment in Paris of a French| |pureau of information. | I Does Not Favor Propaganda / He does not believe in propaganda He knows I'rance has nothing to hide but he fears that the impression of “something to conceal” gets abroac because of the difficulty foreigner: have in obtaining facts which interest |them. He wants France to kick ove bureaucratic methods in its adminis trative life just as it crushed cver obstacle when it organized and, witl {ts allies, won the great war. Such are some of the ideas of younger France as represented by Tardien. All France is watching him Everybody seems convinced that unti! |the Ruhr problem is settled in a way favorable to I'rance, French- man will stand solidly behind Poin- care, and the existing government of France. But when this erisis is over younger leaders may be called to ca ry on the work of huilding the great France of the future, and it is then§ [that Tardieu's friends expect to s | him in the front ranks i every i i Doctors are banned, by the ethics| | of their profession, from giving nu‘ terviews to newspapers under their | own names, as this is considered a| | form of advertising.
