HEADACHE?..

How and why ANADIN gives you the power to stop pain so fast! 

QUICK ABSORPTION-'Anadin' Tablets disintegrate immediately they enter the stomach. Within thirty seconds of entering the blood stream they start reducing the sensitivity of the 'nerve exchange' at the base of the skull. 

IMMEDIATE RELIEF-First to get to work is the pure aspirin-well-known for its quick action and power to make the 'nerve exchange' less sensitive. 

LONG-TERM RELIEF-Then Phenacetin in 'Anadin' acts next, greatly prolonging the beneficial effects of the aspirin. 

SENSE OF WELL-BEING-Pain nearly always brings depression and a 'low feeling'. But 'Anadin' includes Caffeine with a trace of Quinine to exert a 'tonic' effect and induce an immediate feeling of wellbeing. Pain goes and you fell on top of the world. 

Nothing acts- faster than ." ANADIN Trade Mark 

At all chemists, 1/10d. (about 26cents) and 3/8d. (about 52cents) 

'Anadin' is is perfectly safe for schoolchildren-simply halve the adult dosage

A Smooth Martini requires a smooth American Gin_like Fleischmann’s 

"That's the smoothest Martini I ever tasted - believe me, I'm using FLEISCHMANN'S GIN from now on" 

To make a Martini properly, smoothly-requires a mild, smooth American Gin that will blend in mixed drinks.

Fleischmann's is an American Gin distilled from American grains. . . from an American formula. . . for American tastes and drinking customs. . . by an American company.

Every single process from the purchase of the grain to the bottling of the finished product is under the control of one company-The Fleischmann Distilling Corporation. 

The result is a uniform-quality gin that always insures a mild, smooth mixed drink. 

Fleischmann's Gin is specially distilled to blend perfectly with other liquors and fruit juices in mixed drinks-to bring out their hidden, subtle flavors. 

Buy a bottle. Mix up a Martini or any gin drink you prefer. Your first delicious sip will tell you why "it takes an American Gin to make a smooth American cocktail."

Holiday for the cook  RUTH MORGAN prescribes a tonic that kitchen weary Wooden Spooners will really enjoy taking!
HERE it comes Whitsuntide, the first real holiday of the summer. And with it comes the promise of many more summer weekends, precious days when we can get out and about. If you're the cook in your household, then make a resolution to give yourself a holiday as well. Go picnicking with easily prepared food. Or, if unexpected guests turn up, don't panic and disappear into the kitchen for hours. Fix them a jiffy quick dish and enjoy their company. Lay in a few tins and packet mixes. They can come in very useful at this time of the year and help you make the most of your summer leisure. Here are some bright picnic ideas and suggestions for easily prepared dishes, including a reader’s winning recipe. And remember, Wooden Spooners it's a dull cook who never gets away from that kitchen stove!

"I thought my children were faddy-until I changed to McDougall’s" 

'When I made a pie, they'd leave all the pastry and it was easy to see what they thought of my cakes! Then my grocer advised me  to try McDougall's. I noticed the difference right away so, by the look of things, did they! They're asking for second helpings now I get such splendid results-every time!' 

McDougall's Self-Raising flour is made from the finest wheats obtainable and its superb quality never varies because every batch is carefully tested in McDougall's own kitchens on honest-to-goodness puddings, cakes and pies. No wonder that more women buy McDougall's than any other self-raising flour. It's so fine, light and easy to handle and just right for all types of baking. !

NEW! A beauty cream for modern furniture

New Min Silicone Cream gives double-surface protection!

What's new about Min Silicone Cream? It's a perfectly balanced blend of wax and silicones. With one light wipe you spread a double surface-a beautiful wax-polished undersurface with a transparent shield of silicones on top. It's so easy too-because Min dries in a trice and you don't need any "elbow grease" to bring up,a flawless shine. 

"Easy Flow" Silicones. Silicones in Min spread so smoothly and easily that smears and cloth marks cannot form. And so little Min gives you such a lovely, swift lustre-such efficient protection against damp, bloom, dust, fingermarks, and heat rings. You'll find, too, after a polish with Min, that the room has a summer-day-in-the-country fragrance -subtle and fresh

JANE CHEDDAR'S COOKERY CORNER 

Give them a main meal made with cheese

THERE'S MORE PROTEIN IN IT THAN IN ANY OTHER FOOD!

Never hesitate to give your family a main dish made with cheese. For sheer bodybuilding goodness you couldn't do better. Some people forget that cheese is the richest source of

that valuable protein we all need so much. There's more protein in every bite of cheese than in any other food in the world! It's got plenty of important *calcium in it, too. And doesn't cheese taste good! Either just as it is or cooked. I've yet to meet the man, woman or child who could resist it. 

There are countless exciting recipes for cheese dishes. (If you're wanting some new ideas perhaps you'd like to write for an interesting little Recipe Booklet put out by the Cheese Bureau. Just send a card to the Cheese Bureau, Recipe Booklet, 40 Berkeley Sq., London W.l.) Yet some of the most popular dishes are old favourites made a new way-like the New Macaroni Cheese recipe opposite. It's a winner! And, while I'm talking about cheese, here's something to remember: it's a good habit to, put cheese on the table with every meal. On the Continent they have it even at breakfast! With cheese every day, your family's really well-fed.

*230 mg. of calcium in every once, plus more vital protein than in any other food! 

An old favourite made a new way- they'll love this new macaroni cheese. Remember, however you give it to them- in omelets, souffles or sauces---cheese is all body-building goodness. 

(click image to enlarge image and view recipe)

Cheese Tips 1. Choose crumbly Cheddar to mate cheese sauce. It's the easiest to grate -and it's good even when it's a bit dry. 2. Over a low gas melt 1 oz. butler; stir in 1 oz. flour. Add 1 pint of milk all at once. Bring to the boil and whisk! Then season -and add grated cheese. 3. Sprinkle plenty of grated cheese over the top before toasting to make it extra appetising.

Put soothing Savlon on that CUT and help nature heal it quickly
IT'S ONLY too easy for germs to get into a cut. At best they slow up healing. At worst the wound will turn nasty. So put soothing Savlon on at once. Savlon kills germs without destroying tissue, and thus gives nature a chance to get on with the job of healing-quickly.
Savlon is the modern antiseptic cream that kills the whole range of germs usually found on the kins' - all the germs which most often infect cuts and grazes. .
And Savlon never stings. It soothes. So children, especially, like to have Savlon on a cut or graze. Smooth it on liberally whenever the skin is broken. Mild, white creamy Savlon helps nature heal.
From your chemist, 2/6d. (about 35 cents)? a rube. Economy rube 4/6d. (about 63 cents)?
When to use Savlon
CUTS AND GRAZES. Smooth on germ-killing Savlon. It soothes the smart at once, helps nature heal.
MINOR BURNS and scalds are soothed the moment you put on creamy white Savlon. Savlon promotes normal healing.
SPOTS, pimples and other minor skin troubles clear up more quickly when you smooth on germ-killing Savlon.
NAPPIE RASH. Whenever baby is the least bit sore, smooth on cooling Savlon and kill the germs that could cause nappie rash.
