IDEAL ATHLETE
SCIATICA, NEURALGIA,, PROSTRATION AND DEPRESSION.
"Apollo" tells how to avoid wasted effort.
APOLLO, the Ideal: Ablete, the embodiment of physical grace and sym metrical huscular developinen, pays a glowing tribute to the wonderful curative and invigorating properties of Phosfering. Even "Apollo's" superb physique was not proof against attacks of Sciatica and Neuralgia, and he declares that a course of Phosferine quite cured these disorders and completely-dispelled the weariness and exhaustion consequent upon over-training.
All the brilliant aideies in Ure kingdoni have recognized the merits of Phosferine and expressed their appreciation in much the sante words as " Apolly." "Without exception, from Royalty downwards, every class of brain and manual worker has placed on record with us the marvellous benefits they have derived from Phosfering. As elior of a health migažino, "Apollo" further relates that he found the topic invahtable for relieving brain-fag."

THE FORMALITY FETISH IN THE ARMY..
There is surely mors time wasted in the Army than in any other profession," aliems Elis Ashmead Bartlett in an illuminating article on military matters in the Augustine teenth Century The article, quotations from which appear below, deals mainly with reformi in the Militia, but points of interest in conne tion with all branches of the Army and the Auxiliary Forces are touched upon.

In another part of his artiels the writer saga: The Milis private comes from the ranks of the unskilled labourer, the casual worker without red abcde Gr occupation. The Volunteer battalions are filled with skilled artisans, men infinitely above the Militiaman in the social scale and who never would he castent

On the other hand, the Militia officer is usually drawn from a class socially superior to the Volunteer officer. Consequently neither officers or men care to serve alongside one another in-the-ranks. If the country is not ripe for the democracy of octopulsory service, it certainly will not take kindly to a voluntary levelling of class distinctions.
