ANOTHER ROYAL 'DISTINCTION 1
A Further Cow and Gate Success.
It is announced that the Royal Warrant of. Appointment has been granted by the Court of Jugoslavia to Messrs. Cow & Gate Ltd., manufacturers of the well-known Infants Food. This warrant has been granted in respect of the successful use of the Food for Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Princess Paul.
Thus another much coveted and in these days rare distinction has been gained for Cow & Gate Milk Food following closely upon the Appointment to the Royal Court of Iraq already announced.
It must be quite obvious that the Food used so extensively for Princes and Princesses of the Royal blood-and Cow & Gate is not' unknown in the British Royal Nurseries must be one of the best authenticated products of the day for infant feeding. otherwise it would never be rem commended under the aegis of the Court physicians on whom so much responsibility must rest.—

"I haven't seen you

-said Johnnie Walker
The last time Johnnie Walker saw this cask of whisky it was the "new make," and was about to be stored away to begin the long natural process of maturing.
Now, after a number of years, the whisky has "grown up" and is to be blended with other good matured whiskies into an even better whisky Johnnie Walker. Because of its natural "roundness," Johnnie Walker is most valuable and refreshing in all climates. It's always worth while asking for Johnnie Walker by name.
