Strength
"I am stronger than ever before. Though I never felt ill, ilse strain of work and the climate made me a bit tired, But since taking San- atogen my forces have much increased and enjoy my life at its full worth."
The value of Sanatogen for all men and women is not at all surprising, for Sanatogen is a tunic, which, because of its ideal composition, "goes to the core of well-being, viz, the cells, and builds these up into a solid and permanent fabric of health." as a well-known London physician says.

Light and Power Plants. Hydro-Electric and Wind Driven Electric Light and Power Plants. This company also had on exhibi- tion pictures of two recent types of Private Electric Plants, showing their manner, of installation. The water driven type is adaptable to provide current for any required purpose wherever a small stream of running water is available, and is the latest development in this field of engineering. Its most salient feature is the low cost of opera tion and maintenance, as after the initial expense (No more than the usual liquid fuel plant) uo further disbursements are required other than for a Httle lubricating oil every month or so. It is designed for 24 hours service, and requires no necumulators. The Wind Driven plants are adaptable to provide current wherever fairly reliable winds can be obtained. It has storage batteries to tide over a period of calm lasting a week. Winds as low as 8 miles per hour will generate current, and when they reach 30 miles per hour the plant automatically cuts itself out. They are designed to stand a wind force of about 120 miles per hour.
