London, To-day.

It is stated out in London in connection with Italy's protest over the stoppage of German coal exports that the Note will receive the most rapid and careful considera- tion and that the British Government will be as ac- commodating as possible in view of the friendly relations existing between the two countries.

HIS WIFE DESERVED

A MEDAL

THINKE:

WE COULD DO WITH A BIGGER PLACE.

I WISH PETER COULD MAKE THE GARAGE PAY

MEANWHILE PETER'S IN TROUBLE

Unless you can pay off these mortgages on your qarage in the next six months, I'm afraid we'll

•have to take over your business, Mr. Graham

We're going to fight to the last ditch, darling, to hold that business. It's just that you're run- down and tired always,

Peter ...

THAT SAME EVENING BETTY SAW THE DOCTOR

THINKS:

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO BETTY AND THE BABY. OH, IF ONLY I DIDN'T FEEL SO TIRED

ALL THE TIME, I MIGHT PULL THROUGH

From what you've told me, Mrs. Graham, I'd say your husband's trouble is Night Starvation.

You see, even at night we go on using up energy in heartbeats, breathing and other

automatic actions. In his case this has no

-doubt also led to an excess of acid waste products in the blood. All this causes him to wake fired and feel no good at his work. Recent hospital tests have proved that Horlicks is

what people need for that condition

BETTY SAW TO IT THAT HER HUSBAND HAD HIS HORLICKS

EVERY NIGHT

SIX WEEKS LATER

PETER FELT HIIJA NEW MAN
