A Trip in Outer Space

- The Smoke Man Almost Went to the Moon!

By MAX TRELL

HE Smoke Man came footing gently out of Father's pipe. Father, who was sitting and rending his book (and puffing at his pipe at the same time) didn't even notice the Smoke Man coming out.

However, Knart and Hanid, the shadow-children with

the turned-about names, saw Smoke Man very plainly.

A GOOD RECOVERY AFTER ILLNESS is as important as curing the illness itself. For, unless recovery is complete, invalids may soon pick up new germs and infections. At such a time, good food and rest is not really enough. Invalids badly need something more-daily Ribena. For Ribena-the natural way to tako Vitamin C--is a great help in convalescence. It restores, It strengthens. It fights infection. In fact, Ribena does so much good in so many ways that it is unique. As all the medical evidenco shows.

WHAT YOUR DOCTOR KNOWS. Ribena, made only from fresh ripe blackcurrants and pure cane sugar, is a rich source of natural Vitamin C and other factors essential to good health. It is delicious and extremely kind to the tenderest digestion. Ribena is used by many famous hospitals and recommended by eminent doctors. Its value has been proved in searching clinical testic All good reasons why you should give Ribena to invalids.)
