Feed your Nerves & Forget them
HEN you are "run-down" and "nervy" the reason is simply that your nerves need food. The wastage of nerve cells and tissue that is continually going on has not been made good by sufficient restorative material.
Make "Ovaltine" your daily beverage in. place of tea, coffee, etc., for it is abundantly rich in the nourishment which rebuilds worn nerves and restores lost, energies.
+1
"Ovaltine" is a scientific combination of the nutritive elements extracted from the best of Nature's tonic foods-ripe barley malt, creamy milk and eggs. The essential food elements are correctly proportioned in "Ovaltine" for all needs of the nerves and body, and are presented in the form of a delicious, easily- digested beverage.
Feed your nerves with the nutriment they need and you will no longer be a prey to them.

His complaints to companion, as he gloomily tidied up the table, set one wondering

In the old days, when a woman was practically always accompanied by a man on occasions when tips were necessary, she might make the mistake of thinking she could get something for nothing if she happen- ed to be alone,

The modern woman who has knocked about the world a certain amount by herself, sedreely ever persistently under-tips. She knows the value of good service just as well
as a man.
Individual Instances.
If you compared the sum of money men" and women spend on tips on various occasions to-day, the aver age would, not be very different. Still, while the average is much the same, there would certainly be a grent difference in the amount ber- towed on individual occasions.
Most men I know always tip a certain percentage of the bill at a restaurant, for instance, Extra good service may gain a small ad- ditional sum, but the world's worst waiter gets very little below the usual average.
The while business has become a matter, of course-a sort of tax- that every one has always paid and no one dreams of questioning.
Women, on the other hand, expect to get something for their money when it comes to a tip. They are too new to the whole business to be able to regard it from a man's con- ventional standpoint.
If they have had to wait hours for their food in a restaurant and then it has arrived half cold, why should they give the shilling that would be the usual tip on the amount of har tips Two pence is all that thờ waiter's services has been worth to them. So why not leave this eum, and hope that it will teach him a 'lesson 1
No man would, of course, dream of doing this. Instead, he would make a fuss at being kept waiting, and send back the food if it arrived half cold. He would make the waiter carn his tip, or at least try to, for he would never have the moral courage to leave" the feminine twopence.
Women, however; lack this kind of conventional conscience over tips. Even the most medern"of them are still a good deni less willing to make n row over bad servies than a man, If the waiter, therefore, is in- efficient, it is his own look-out, and he must expect a tin that is meant to be a silent rebuke.
It is the same with taxicab men, railway porters, and so on.
A little extra attention may double a woman's tin, while a mun bas. as a rule, already gauged the value of the serpice, and sticks to this sum.
