He pointed out that the vernacular Bible was influencing Chinese literature and thought, and when they considered that their own characters and thoughts. were moulded on the Holy Book they could realise what an impor- tant effect the Bible would have on the future China.

A Rough Demonstratier

"They're worth a nice big kiss!''

It's a big favour for one child to share those treasured "Ovaltine" Rusks with another. A nice big kise is a amall reward for rusks so delightfully crisp and se deliciously crunchy.

A child's instinct is for foods which require thorough mastication. When only soft foods are given, this - instinct is soon lost. The result is seen in Irregular and crowded teeth, Ul-developed jaws and ugly mouths. "Ovaltine" Rusks should be included in the daily dietary of every child, because they give the exercise to ensure sound healthy teeth, and the proper development of the jaws. Eficient 'mastication has also a’vital bearing upon health.

It is the addition of “Ovaltine” which gives these ruske their fascinating flavour, renders them easy of digestion, and gives them a much higher nutritive value than ordinary rusks.
