If someone in your family is re-
covering from an illness let me sus-
sest something many doctors are
advising-try serving OVALTINE
several times daily. You see,
OVALTlNE is one Of the worlds
richest food sources of vitamins and
minerals so important to speedy re.
covery. Each cup, made with milk,
provides valuable amounts of Vita.
minis A, B., d, G, and Niacin, PLUS
minerals, Calcium, Phosphorus and
Iron. Besides, it supplies basic food
substances necessary to rebuild body
and nerve cells. OVALTINE is
very easy to digest. 1t is served in
1900 American hospitals, so try it
at home!

LONG, WIDE, AND WONDERFUL
that's the dress
BOEs'lI speGr
for the holidays

After many makeshift Christ
mas, there's reason at last to do
this one up right! Reason, again,
to wear Aoor-swirling gown
aglitter with sequins or soft fur
at the shoulders. Necklines are
low, skirts yards wide, and the
whole effect simply wonderful!
Wonderful, that is, with one
reservation: they demand an
equally dream-like complexion.
To set off filmy chiffon or satin,
skin must be extra smooth,
fower-rosy, and free from shine.

MP, Formerly on Duty Here,
Describes PhiIippine Action

A letter from the Philippines
shows that military policemen are
lin the thick of it." Tech. Sergt.
Edward Coope, who was stationed
here with the 804th MP Division
for two years, wrote the following
to a friend:
This is it. I've parked my weary
bones in several different~spot since
we landed in the Philippines, and
this is the hottest of them all.
We've had air raids to go with
the nice foxholes we dug, we've had
enemy artillery barrages that called
for bombproof shelters, and we al
ways have snipers. We are in ad-
vance of our own artillery, and our
mortars are just outside our area.
Seems like we never have a dull
moment. The Japs are sending over
all kinds of stuff, and several fires
have started just outside our joint.
Close-range fighting has been going
on just a couple of blocks away.
you can see there isn't much
time for fun-even for sleep, but
I'll sure catch up on both when
get back to the States. Wash
ington was never like this-thank
God!"
The letter was written on very
thin paper with Japanese symbols
around the edge, presumably cap
tured from the enemy.

Then the Jap planes came over

The Germans in their haste to get
