Delicious Ovaltine

Rusks

Those crisp, crunchy rusks are both a sheer delight and a great help to every baby. At teething-time they provide the natural biting excrcise which is so necessary to ensure that cach little tooth will como easily and comfortably through the gums.

This biting oxorciso also does more than anything also to keep the teeth sound, healthy and regularly spaced, and to promote the correct formation of the mouth and jaws.

'OVALTINE' Rusks are highly nutritious and contain the necessary vitamins. A proportion of 'OVALTIN'-the renowned tonic food beverage — is added to make them still more nourishing, delicious and easy to digest.

Raided Socialites From Crime Factory

COURT OUTBURST BY WIFE

A

"CRIME FACTORY" where special tools were forged for breaking into homes and safes was uncovered by the police when they visited a garage in Crownhill Road, Harles- [den, N.W.

This was revealed when 30-year-old Jack Barr, "an active housebreaker," and George Arthur Coates, aged 27, an ingenious toolmaker, were sentenced at Middlesex Sessions to five, and three years' penal servitude res- pectively.

They pleaded guilty to a num-' ber of charges of atealing and receiving, including jewellery belonging to the Marchioness of Headfort, and watches from the Поине

of Brig.-General Hon. Charles Willoughby.

No evidence was offered on charges of receiving against Coates's 19- year-old wife, Betty, and she was discharged, writes Arthur Tietjen in the Daily Mall.

FORGE AND BLOW.LAMPS Lewis Abraham, aged 78, pleaded guilty to receiving the property of

the Marchioness of Headfort and was bound over.

Barr and Coates both made aj special study of their crimes be- fore carrying them out. First they would read the social .newa columns, which

gave them thei necessary

IRIUM THRILLS MILLIONS

WITH NEW LUSTER ON TEETH

PEPSODENT alone of all tooth pastes contains IRIUM which so amazingly re- stores natural brilliance to teeth!

Irium is the now modern way to remove dull, dingy film-make teeth sparkle, und keep tho mouth clean and fresh.

So offective is HRIUM that one good brushing with Pepsodent tooth paste leaves enamel cleaner and more radiant than you have over before experienced.

At the Rumanian Legation, how- ever, it was stated that these reports were premature.

An official stated: "It is possible, however, that when the King visits London later this month efforts may be made by his relatives to bring about a reconciliation."

It is significant that it was an- nounced from Bucarest that, contrary to expectation, it was likely that Prince Michael would accompany his father to London.
