ONE THOUSAND eligible young women have come to the conclusion that it's a not-so- glorious Devon.
"Where's the romance?" they demand plain- tively. "What's the matter with the young men
are they dumb?"
Because of the apparent scarcity of suitable boy friends this contingent of spinsters finds life dull these days.

HERE is a thrilling story about two war heroes serving on the Home Front.
They are Special Constables Harvey and Egland, of Exeter. Their resourcefulness and pluck were revealed recently.

Princess Louise, who was the oldest surviving child of Queen Victoria, Ilved so frugally in her ninety-eight-roomed residence at Kensington Palace that most people regarded her as a com- parailvely poor woman.
Her realdener was run by a band- ful of servants. Many rooms had not been used for years, The study of her husband, the Duke of Argyll, who died in 1814, was wrapped in dust sheets: the dining-rooms und a number of ground-floor ante-rooms
have long been locked up.
After her ninetleih birthday the Princess lived upstairs in an atmosphere of Victorian austerity.
No Lift
There was no lift in her wing of the palace; coal for the open fres in the bedrooms was carried up by hand, An old-fashioned kitchen range heated the bare corridor out- side the room in which she spent the last weeks of her life.

ADVICE TO. NURSING MOTHERS
It is very important, doctora say, not to overtax your system immediately after the birth of a child. When you are feeding baby yourself, you should take plenty of easily digested nourish- ment.
For that reason, doctors throughout China recommend Horlicks. They have proved that Horlicks stimulates the appetite,
sound sleep promotes
and strengthens the whole system. Also Horlicks increases the supply of maternal milk and ensures the success of breast feeding.
Get Horlicks to-day from your
store,
