That the creation of a Spanish Soviet Republic constitutes to be the common ulm of the United Socialist - Communist front' was the declaration delivered here at a local bull-fighting arena before an audience of thirty thousand persons which included large parties of “Socialist and Communist Militias" in uniform.
The movement, aiming at the formation of a great united Marxist front destined to transform the existing Spanish State Into a Soviet Republic at an early date, has already made re- markable progress according to a speaker, who affirmed that this development would be checked aclther by bayonets nor by any other measures which Premier Azana might devise.
No power on earth, said the speaker, can prevent the Spanish working classes gaining possession of the State, and the present Government represented only a

Public
Opinion
is agreed
WHATEVER differences of opinion
may exist on other question- there is one question upon which the public is agreed, viz., that Ovaltine' stands supreme, as the tonic food beverage for giving and maintaining good health for children and adults "alike.
The universal popularity which Ovaltine" enjoys is convincing evidence of its outstanding merita." Probably no other commodity has received such a vast number of unsolicited testimonials from all parts of the world as this delicious concentration of Nature's supreme restorative foods.
WHAT 'OVALTINE' IS
Ovaltine' is an entirely original preparation perfected after years of scientific research. It is prepared from ripe barley malt, fresh milk and new-laid egge, and is flavoured only with cocou.
Malt Extract is used, for powdered malt does not yield the same food value nor exert the same digestive power It is emphasised that the Malt Extract is exceptional in every way. For example, the method of manufacture ensures the preserva- tion of the diastase. This is a very important food property.
It not only ensures
that... 'Ovaltine' will be easily digested and completely : assimilated, but it also has the power of digesting the starch contained in other foods which form "part of the ordinary dietary, thus converting this indigestible material into easily assimilable nourishment.
WHY OVALTINE STANDS SUPREME
But "Ovaltine' is more than a mere mixture even of the finest ingredients. The unique and exclu- sire process of manufacture concentrates the food elements contained in these natural foods and presents them in perfectly balanced antritive proportions, Fate, proteins, carbohydrates, mineral salts and vitamins-all are present in the correct amounts needed by the system,
ין
Ovaltine' is the most economical food beverage you can buy. It is only because of the world- wide and over-growing sales that it is possible to sell it at the present low prices. There is only ore Ovaltine there is nothing to equal it and p nothing just as good.
Let "Ovaltine" be the daily beverage in your home to give health and vitality to every member of your family.
Ask your dealer the present pries of Ovaltine in the new large tins, which contain 18 ors. (large size) and 9 ozs. (medium size). The increase of 25% in weight in these new sized tins makes 'Ovaltine' more economical than ever before.
