DIFFICULT YEARS FOR · CHILDREN
to
It's when children start shoot up suddenly that they need your special attention. Children who are growing fast often tire easily, get pole, 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 some time they are growing! ..
Doctors and nurses have re- commended Horlicks for years for children who need this extra
energy. Horlicks morcover builds

SAILORS say 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, defied the legend and painted out his vessel's name in favour of 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 Ark Royal was at that ¡necessity of changing her name. Bo time, of course at the bottom of seized upon the name of Aagtekerk, the sea. Lord Haw-Haw had but mistook the ship's port of survey, left everybody on board the Holterdam, for her port of registry, Uhenfels in no doubt about that.
