It's when children start shoot up suddenly that they need your special attention. Children who are growing fast often tire casily, gel pale, listless and do poorly at school,
The trouble is that children have a double job of work to do. They use up energy in work and play and at the same time they are growing!.
Doctors and nurses have re- commended Horlicks for years for children who need this extra energy. Horlicks moreover builds sturdy bene and muscle. You'l find that palencas disappears, and school-wark improves. And the children seem to gala endless energy and "go." Got Horlicks -to-clay.

A Nazi Defied a Legend of the Sea
And The British Navy Captured His Ship
AN OFFICER on the sandbagged bridge of a cargo liner which bas brought home supplies from the
Empire.
SAILORS Bay it is unlucky to change a ship's name.
Be that as it may, here is the story of the master of a Nazi freighter who, at the behest of his Fuchrer, defled the legend and painted out his vessel's name in favour of a fake Dutch alias-and landed in the hands of the British Navy.
He was captain of the German cargo steamer Uhen- fels, (7,603 tons), whose giant 120-ton derrick now towers above the skyline of Cubitt Town.
It was an aircraft from the Ark Royal which first saw the Uhenfels in the South Atlantic, four days from the Cape

The pilot flew off-to report that among the vessels he had sighted on Aagtekerk "of patrol was the B.. Rotterdam," according to the name painted on its stern,
The pilot's report was flashed to officers where busy the flagship, checked the name and description of each vessel logged during the fight

That was it; and it didn't need a Sherlock Holmes to see how the cap- taln had made his mistake.
Captain H. Flowerdew, who, with a prize crew, has brought the Uhen- fels safely-to- Milwall Dock, told, e correspondent-the-rest-of-the-story.
"A few days before war broke out," he said, "the Uhenfels salled
"The rest was easy. The position of the real Aagtekerk was on radioed to the flagship, and a des- troyer did the rest.
*The captain had his wife and young son aboard and several Ger- man ten-planters. That may explain why the Uhenfels was not scuttled."
When the captain and his crew were landet at Sierra Leone, man- bers
of the British colony learned that it was the third birthday of his and the event was, celebrated with a party and a birthday cake.
