Long practical experience throughout the world had definitely proved that 'OVALTINE' is not only supremely health-giving, but is the food beverage which everyone is able to enjoy thoroughly.
For instance, most people have their own pre- ferences as to the sweetness of any beverage they drink. It is therefore Important to note that 'Ovaltine'—innlike Imitations-does not contain any Household Sugar. The majority of people find the flavour of 'Ovaltine' perfection itself, but if further sweetness is required sugar can be added in the home. Remember, sugar is cheap, and there is no reason why you should pay a faney price, for it us an ingredient of a food beverage.

A landed proprietor, and the holder of an historic title which goes back to the Wars of the Roses, he is famous rather for his bluff and genial manner, his gifts as a conciliator, his shrewdness, and his love of sport. He has held many high offices of State and has de- clined many others: and-though not at present a member of the Adminis- tration-he is one of the most power- ful men in the country.

graphs. If you identify him by the time you have read the first paragraph you score full marks; by the second 75; by the last 50. If you don't know then you fail and have to turn to Pago Three for the answer. To emphasise the end of each paragraph the following one is printed in smaller type. Now carry on.

HIS well-known politician and advocate has-by universal ad- mission-one of the finest legal brains of our generation. None has surpassed him in the capacity to analyse a complex problem; to sort out its essentials, and to present them, simply and clearly, so that others can understand them. His income at the Bar has probably never been equalled. Yet, curiously, his ambitions are not legal but political. More than once, it is believed, he has declined the Lord Chancellorship-preferring to remain a member of the House of Commons——— and even now it is not out of the ques- tion that he should one day be Prime Minister.
HE was born in 1873, the son of a Congregational
tu he
minister. He was educated in Scotland and at Oxford, where he curly gained great distinction. Proceeding to the Bar, he had already made a name for himself, when, in 1906, he was returned Parliament as a Liberal. Four years later became Solicitor-General, and subsequently Attorney-General, white during the earlier years of the war he was Home Secretary.
TIS subsequent career has been Interesting. He when he has sat for a consiltuency in Yorkshire. Though out of office, he attained great prominence with a series of slashing attacks on the Trade Unions, which did much to defeat the General Strike in 1926. When the National Government was formed, he became the leader of one of the parties supporting it, and since 1931 he has held, in succession, three of the highest ofces of State.
