Another run down by Bridgewater saw Taylor pass to Batty, whose shot was the wrong side of the post, a little before half-time. Bridgewater resumed with more ginger, and soon reduced the Moth's lend, Brown's bang hitting the cross- bar for Batty to beat Clarke with a shot from the rebound. Bridgewater also obtained corner when Clarke put the ball over the bar from Brown's shot. A run down by the Moth's for- wards found the Bridgewater defence safer than formerly. Another corner to Bridgewater was put to good use, Mowbray, who had changed to inside- right, heading neatly past Clarke.

No more sleepless nights

When you toss from side to side, and vainly count imaginary sheep passing through a fictitious gate and yet can't fall asleep-when nothing will induce even that dreamy feeling that ushers in sleep, how you long for dawn. As you hear the clocks strike and listen to the myriad sounds that fill the darkness, you realise that there is no real. stillness of the night.

And when morning comes, you get up jaded and unrefreshed and totally unfit to face the day's work or enjoy the day's play.

How different it is when you can go to bed and enjoy the peaceful dreamless sleep of a tired healthy child. And this blessing of sound sleep is within your reach if you take a cup of Glax-ovo each night before going to bed.

The marvellous. "Ostelin" vitamin D concentrate feeds those starved and harassed nerves, its rich milk and selected malt extract give rise to that drowsy feeling, and its delicious chocolate flavour makes it an added pleasure with which to round off the day.
