WHAT IS LONDON'S LURE?

What is it about London that exercises such a fascination not only over its re siden but also over visitors from all quarters of the globe!

It cannot be its beauty, for there are other cities more beautiful, greener, Many and architecturally superior: besides, things attract only the curious or interested minority. It cannot be ita: mere site, that in itself would not

things are but hearsay who confess to this mysterious longing for London. It can- not be its lights and life for there are thousands of its residents who have elung to London from choice when the moon was

a danger and London life was very

It cannot be its museums, for the Lon- doner leaves them to tourists; nor its educational facilities for they are no more than those of any other city in pro- portion to its size it certainly cannot be for its healthiness. for that is a minus quality. It is not even its business portunities, for by far the greatest pro portion of London's residents are those who can just manage to rub along

Yet I know Scotsmen without number, and some Irishmen, who, having gravitat ed to London, now (say they never feel, happy away from it.

Then I know country folk, women born in London and settled through marriage in distant villages, who would give all they have to be back within sound of Bow

What then, is this fascination that keeps Londoners faithful to their city love, that drags the exile ever back, and transforms visitors from other countries into devoted admirors?

Is it that London is one vast panorama constant change, and that within it lies an inexhaustible store of interest, ex- citement, and appeal, varying with every moment of the day and night, and satis flying all?

But that might equally be said of Paris or of New York. What, then, is the particular lure of Loudon 7-Daily Mail.

THE SUBMARINES AND

BOVRIL

During the War food supplies were greatly restricted in the United Kingdom owing to the submarine blockade, and Bovril. was so indispensable to the soldiers, wounded, and the people that it had to be retained in the British" Isies, where it is made, or sent to the fighting fronts.

Fresh supplies of Bovril bare arrived and thera,je no longer any need to makeshift with substitutes which lack its unique vital and scergising propertion. Bovril is the food whose body-busiding powers have been proved by indepen dent scientific experiments to be from 10 to 20 times the amount taken.
