What 1t IS-HOSv HAcfS

Thirty eight years ago a food
chemist in Switzerland developed an
unusual method Of processing certain
natural foods. A process that gave
these foods certain values which none
of them have when taken alone or in
an ordinary mixture. 1t created world
comment then, for it solved the prob
lem of feeding invalids. 1t is called
Ovaltine and today it's use has spread
all over the world and it is solving the
problem of child feeding for modern
mothers.
Ovaltine is made by a unique process
. it is prepared under vacuum, thus
preserving all vitamins and engines.
Further, it is prOcessed in such
way that it digests almost at once,
without effort. 1t will digest when
nothing else seems to 'agree." And
constitutes in itself a complete food.
You mix it with milk and drink it as
beverage. And when mixed with milk
it will break down the curds and
make the milk digest twice as easily.
(For milk alone, as you know, turns
to solid curds in the stomach.)
Children drink twice as much milk,
when it's mixed with Ovaltine, be-
cause they like the taste.
1t also contains a natural but vital
property called 'lecithin," which is
the important part of nerve and brain
tissue. A few days use of Ovaltine
usually curbs nervousness noticeably.
Increased Appetite
Ovaltine has high content of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-06-14

ton of hunger is caused by the walls
of an empty stomach pressing to-
gether, and hunger is the basis of
appetite. Child specialists will tell
you that usually when a child refuses
to eat, it is because he hasn't fully
digested his previous meal-"poor
eaters" invariably have slow digestion.

A T the last session of the General

on Game and Inland Fisheries
full authority over brackish and fresh

effective January /, 1881. The ruling

their livelihood from the waters OF

of their community have been paying
into the State treasury at least 81 900

After last nights National League
hockey match between the New

intentions were not for Ions best

given the Hawks 2-2 tie instead
of a 2-to-1 defeat.
Ion, however, made his departure
