For infants, invalids-
and blackSnliths

this one truth-people should
drink milk!
We may never know ex-
actly why milk is SO essential.
Someone tomorrow may dis
cover that there is something
beyond and above vitamines.
Whatever it is, it is safe TO
predict that it will be found
in milk.
Because doctors and dieti-
clans do understand the value
of milk, it is fed to infants
and invalids.
Because people who are
well and strong do not under
stand the full value of milk,
most Of them don't drink
enough. A voluntary addi-
ton Of milk to your present
diet might avoid a compul-
sorry addition later. Again
we say milk is a food-not a
medicine.

NOT ALL AFRAID
Airplane Has Odd Effect on

Many Animals Fled From Strange

Fear Nor Curiosity.

Jason Humphreys, the twelve-year-
old English boy who flew with his
father. the pilot. a camera man and
a scientist from Cairo 10 Cape Town.

most boys of his age will ever know.

far from their real homes. and natural
enemies travelled together In their

Since the close of the war bushmen and
