Good posture and deep breath- ing are conducive to developing a voice which pleases.

All voice teachers stress the pri- mary importance of proper breath- ing. Too little breath taken into your lungs will make your voice shallow and raspnig. You should acquire the habit of breathing deeply by consciously filling your lungs to capacity. Soon you will notice that your voice is richer and more beautiful in tone.

DIFFICULT YEARS FOR CHILDREN

It's when children start to shoot up suddenly that they need your special attention. Children who are growing fast often tire easily, get 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 bone and muscle. You'll find that paleness disappears, and school-work improves. And the children seem to gain endless energy and "go." Get "Horlicks" to-day.
