Strengthen those
Nerves
Neurasthenia (nerve-weakness) has been called the "discase of the 20th century." It is estimated that 95% of the popula tion suffer from it. Trembling of the hands, irritability, restlessness are a few symptoms; so are sleeplessness, stomach trouble, lack of energy. All are due to one cause-weakness of the nerve-cells, It follows then, the only logical way to conquer these complaints is to strengthen the nervous system.
You can do that with Sanatogen. As a well- known physician has stated: "Sanatogen goes right to the core of well-being, viz., the cells and builds these up into a fabric of lasting health." Sanatogen feeds the cells of the body with the exact proportion of those elements-glycero- phosphate and albumin-from which new nerve-strength is derived.
Alter a short course of Sanatogen nerve. weakness will disappear and very soon you ⚫ will feel radiantly healthy again strong and energetic with a keen appetite and a new joy in life. Start taking Sanatogen to-day and notice its wonderful influence on your health.

Guatemala, the Republic Central America, has been accept ed as a member of the Boy Scouts International Bureau.
This addition to the Countries adopting Lord Baden-Powell's Movement makes the number of such countries 45; Great Britain, with 46 branches oversea, counting

The growth of the Boy Scout Movement has been phenomenal. Those attending the experimentai camp, under Lord Baden-Powell, on Brownses Island in August, 1907, only numbered 21.
The following year (1908), the Scout Movement was inaugurated and immediately gripped British boyhood.

"Here is the hatchet of war, of enmity, of bad feeling, which I row bury in Arrowe," sald Lord Baden-Powell, at the same time plunging the hatchet into the midst of a barrel of Golden Arrows.
Standing at the hub of a vast human wheel, Lord Baden-Powell next sent four Golden Arrows of Fellowship to the corners of the compass.

When the Stirling Scouts came back from Birkenhead they deter- minod that the friendships which they had made with the Scouts of all countries should be perpetuat- ed in the weather-vane of the Boys' Club.
On the outer walls of the Club are several badges and mottoes, such as the badge of the Boys' Brigade, the Boy Scout badge and the Wolf Cub badge, with the Scottish Shield and such mottoes as "Play the Game" and "Keop Smiling,"
