It is six- year-old Anita Avery, who despite the ruins which lay around her, can still smile happily and bravely as she hugs her pet dog Raffles who was buried for hours beneath debris before being rescued by Anita's father. The steadfast courage shining from Anita's face typifles the spirit of England to-day as she faces the greatest trial of her history.

HIGHLY-STRUNG
SENSITIVE
CHILDREN
usually go
furthest in life
But there are DANGERS that have
to be watched during childhood
'.
PARENTS should be happy if their children, are the highly-strung. sensitive type, because it is usually these children who go furthest in life,
But the danger with these children is that because they are highly-. atrung they may live too intensely. They may burn themselves out like lamps with too bright a flame:
Fortunately you can tell very quickly, when this is beginning to happen. The child will go of his food, be finicky at meals. He'll get pale, puffy under the eyes-some- times even lose weight. He'll tire eally, get fretful or listless. Every parent should be able to recognize these symptoms and what they mean.. They mean that the child is uring up his energy far more quickly than he is replacing And it is at night, during sleep, that these stores of
energy should be replaced. If they are not replaced. the nervou strain on the child gets worse and worsO. He's suffering from Night Starvation.
At the first sign of any of thess, symptoms you should set, and act, quickly. Give your child Horlicks a hot cupful every night at bedtime. Horlicks will guard him against Night Starvation by replacing his nervous energy during sleep.
Almost at once your child's appe ite will improve. He'll begin to lose his pallor and tiredness and be a happy, sturdy youngster. Safe from the terrible danger of nervous ́ex- haustion, he'll grow up strong and healthy, able to make the utmost of his special gifts and espabilities
Start your child on Horlicks to- night. Horlicks is obtainable at mil good stores,
