Milk is the only food which contains so many of those complex chemicals which are need- ed to build and maintain the human body. It has protein, fat and sugar, all of which provide heat and energy. In addition, the fine quality of its protein makes it one of our most efficient tissue builders. No other food contains so much, * MILK FOUNDATION OF STRATFORD [HAVE YOU READ?| THE SUN IS MY UNDOING is a story on the heroic scale, a chronicle that lifts the reader out of his own world and sweeps him on breathlessly for 1200 crowded pages. The death of the richest man in Bristol, in the great days of sailing ships, caused a scandal that was to last for a hundred years. "It sent a prodigious fortune rolling about the globe . .. it enriched a rogue, impov- erished a virtuous family, and lost a girl her lover ... It hummed across the high seas, it rustled in secret chambers, it was mumbled across council tables..." As it spread through time and space and the lives of men and women, daring and ad- venture went with it. The story sets sail from Bristol when young Matthew Flood, driven from the arms of his bride-to-be to the afterdeck of an African slaver, embarks on a journey that is to cover half the globe and tangle the destinies of generations unborn. The ports it touches are the reeking coast of Africa, fair Barbados, gay and schem- ing Cuba, the Barbary haunts of pirates, the palaces of Seville and Ma- drid, returning at last to the stately homes of England. Masters become slaves in the telling of this tale, and a slave becomes the mother of a proud race. From it one comes to know not only how Englishmen lived in the days when privateers fitted out in Bristol harbor; one enjoys the graces of life in Creole Havana, recoils from the suave brutality of hidalgo Spain, pants in the unlivable African jungle where men somehow continue to live. THE SUN IS MY UNDOING is the story of one undying love and adozen interwoven tales of ambition and in- trigue. It is a story with a will of its own, and it can neither be put aside nor soon forgotten. MARGUERITE STEEN, the author- ess, was born in Liverpool, coming in- to the world, she says, "with brine in my nostrils. An incoming ship meant magenta and _= saffron silk scarves and shawls, carved ivory gew- gaws, aromatic spices, a blue and yel- low macaw ,a talking parrot, a mon- key." But some of the friendly captains who entertained Miss Steen and her friends on board their vessels traf- ficked in more than spices and silks. The Gold Coast was a place to be whispered about at bedtime and gossip of the slave-trade is one of the author's earliest memories. THE SUN IS MY UNDOING, which springs naturally from Miss Steen's memories, has been in the back of her mind ever since she abandoned the stage for a literary career. It has been four years in the writing, part of it being written on the Gold Coast it- self, part of it at Saint-Jean-de-Luz, part of it in London while the bombs were falling. Having completed this novel, long promised to the publishers, Miss Steen has put aside the type- writer and is now engaged in full-time war work. She went to the butcher's for spare ribs and suet, But found that some beaten her tuet. She said she would settle for sausage or liver, The butcher insisted he had none to giver. She pleaded for pork chops . meat balls .. for mutton, The butcher said, "Lady, I just ain't others had sa SOP got nutton." "A story on the historic Wellington at St. Patrick The Sun Is My Undoing Marguerite Steen will lift you out of your own world and sweep you on breathlessly throughout the entire book."'
