RY this really delightful drink for Summer days-cold 'Ovaltine. As delicious in this way as when made as a hot beverage. It not merely quenches the thirst, but refreshes and invigorates as well. It supplies, too, the nourishment you parti cularly need in the summer-for ordinary hot weather foods contain little nourishment-while the need for nourishment remains much the same all the year round.

Cold 'Ovaltine' is easy to prepare. Add to cold milk or milk and water. Whisk with an egg-whisk or shakt ́ in a cocktail shaker. Then you have a creamy, foaming drink-as deli- cious as it is refreshing. Brimful, too, of energy-giving nourishment" to enable you to avoid fatigue and to keep vigorous and healthy.
