Mr. Eugene Chen's official, manifesto is reproduced in the latest issue of the "Overland China Mail," together with detailed reports of current events at the Treaty Ports. Side by side with the wireless and cables concerning the developments in various centres, Mr. Chen's statement will make interesting.rend- ing for the thousands of people at Home and elsewhere who are every day asking for information about China.
In, comparatively, a minor way, there has been trouble during the week at other points on the Yangtse River. With the footnotes and explanations printed in the "Overland China Mail" folks in the Old Country will be able to grasp the situation.
The "Overland" also records how the British forces arrived here and reports the up-country outrager on foreigners.

New Strength
Dr. Claude L. Wheeler writes:
"The weakened tissue
and nerves absorb. Sanetogen readily,
without causing any strain to the digestive ystem. The revitaliz ing influence of Sanatogen is often immediate."
Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phosphorus and albumin-from which health and strength are derived When you feel weak or nervous, start taking Sanatogen at once. You will enjoy its revivifying influence within a few weeks.
