"It's White Horse, of course- I could tell it blindfold "

The rare and subtle character of White Horse sets it apart from any other whisky. You can tell it by its exquisite bouquet alone. But it is the perfect blending of fragrance with mell- owness and smoothness which makes White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur. The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of White Horse never varies.

Both Belgium and Holland are highly industrialised, densely popu~

Considerable damage has been done and to agricultural areas in Holland probably Germany, instead of obtain- as in ing supplies from this source the past, will have to assist the Dutch to feed themselves. The Belgian po- pulation has always been extremely. dependent on overseas imports for food.

Shortage of Doctors Information available, it is believ- ed that the German population gen- erally is showing the effects of the serious deterioration in labour condi- tions in the Reich since the war be-

The number of registered medical practitioners in the Reich fell from 56,000 in 1932 to 38,000 in 1939 and the latter figure only gives ye doc- tors to 10,000 of the population com- pared with eleven in Britain-British Wireless.
