Or Santa Clous Was Born in U. S. A.
E^UROPE brought Christmas to
America, but America gave
Santa Claus to Europe.
When the early Dutch settlers
came to America, they had never
heard of Santa Claus. Old St. Nicho
las, who brought them presents each
December 6, changed rapidly in the
New world.
His name became abbreviated and
altered to Santa Claus, and his ex
ternal appearance underwent great
changes. From a lean ascetic he
was transformed into a jolly, fat
old fellow. His pale face became
the color of rosy apples. He laid
aside his canonical robes, miter and
pastoral staff to become clothed in
a cap and brilliant red suit, trimmed
with ermine. The new Santa Claus
traded his famous gray horse (or a
reindeer and sleigh. He also stopped
giving presents on December 6, and
started distributing gifts on the night
of December 24.
The changes in his outward ap- i
pearance were reflected in his
change of character. When he came
to America he left behind his rod
and bag of ashes with which he
beat naughty children, and adopted
an entirely lovable personality.
Completely transformed, he again
crossed the ocean to be welcomed
everywhere from Scotland to Aus
tralia.

The Better Way to
Correct Constipation
One way to treat constipation is
to endure it first and "cure" it
afterward. The other way is to
avoid having it by getting at its
cause. So why not save yourself
those dull headachy days, plus
the inevitable trips to the medi- |
cine chest, if you can do it by a
simple common-sense "ounce of
prevention"?
If your trouble, like that of
millions, is due to lack of "bulk"
in the diet, "the better way" is to
eut Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal has just the "bulk" you
need. If you eat it rcgularly-^nd
drink plenty of water?you can
not only get regular but keep
regular, day ftfter day and month
after month! All-Bran is made
by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. If
your condition is chronic, it is
wise to consult a physician.
