LONDON, TO-DAY. DESCRIBING THE OUTPOURINGS FROM THE ZEESEN RADIO "DEADLY POISON GAS FOR AN UN- SUSPECTING PUBLIC," GENERAL THE SMUTS, IN A MESSAGE TO SOUTH AFRICAN TRUTH LEGION, DEALT WITH
TO THE DANGER THE SOUTH AFRICAN PEOPLE OF INSIDIOUS FORMS OF NAZI PRO- PAGANDA WHICH ARE BEING DIRECTED AGAINST THEM THROUGH THE AIR AND IN THE PRESS.
The Truth Legion is an organisation recently formed to combat such pro- paganda.
The South African Prime Minister said: "The only means of defence is for us to spread the truth as against lles to create goodwill as against mis- chievous insidious malice, to hold aloft the light as against the mental dark- ness and moral blackout with which we are menaced.
"Let us have faith in truth and its all conquering powers." Wireless.

SO - HORLICKS EVERY NIGHT
AND ...
A WONDERFUL CHANGE CAME OVER MARY
..and, Doctor, I even wake tired
SIX WEEKS LATER
From what you tell me, Mrs. Norton your trouble is Night Starvation. You'ver,
even at night you go on using up
energy in heartbeats, breathing and
other automatic actions. In your case,
this has also led to an excess of acid waste products in the blood.
All this causes you to wake tired, feel and look run-down and ""nervy: "Recent tests have proved that Horlicks is what
people need for that....
Darling, I'm proud of you. You're so bright and gay, so full of life!
THINICE!
BOB LOVES ME AGAIN: THANK İROODNERE
FOR HORLICKE
