"Now see that he takes Sanatogen regularly three times a day!"
That is the doctor's parting injunction- addressed to the wife because he knows she will hold the patient to it.
<< Feed your patient systematically with Sanatogen," writes a doctor to his confrères in the Medical Press. "It is readily absorbed, and has an immediate and remarkable effect, shown by a steady increase of weight and mus- cular strength. The patient sleeps; the colour is brought back to his cheeks; his energy of mind and body is gradually restored, and he loses his depression of spirits,
Invigorate your Nerves with
SANATOGEN
The True Tonic-Food
because Sanatogen is the ideal energising food for the healthy, as well as for the sick.
In the words of Professor Mann-formerly Assistant Professor of Physiology at Oxford University-"A building-up process goes on in the nervis after the administration of Sanalogen.""
Consequently, six weeks'sise of Saratogen increases your nerve. energy by 63 per cent as proved by actual tests on human subjects, made by a physician attached to King's College Hospital, London. Go to the nearest chemist or stores, buy Sanatogen and take it staly three times a day,

THE ROYAL FAMILY. KING GEORGE'S RICE PUDDING,
COMEDY AT LETER
There is a budget of good stories in the Earl of Meath's Memories of the Twentieth Century" (John Murray, 10 8d.). The earl, who is the founder of the Empire Day movement, is now in his 84th year, but he can still walk, rup." ride a quiet horse, dance, mount a bicycle, row: play ball, and romp with the youngest,
Some of his memories are of the British Royal Family:-
Queen Victoria on one occasion, when sented on the deck of her yacht, noticed that the sailors were standing in knots;, they seemed to be talking and looking at her, so she sent for the captain and asked him what was the matter; was there a mutiny l
He replied, "No, ma'am, but your Majesty is sitting just over the keg of rum, and this is the time when each sailor usually obtains a tet. and they cannot enjoy it unless your Majesty
Moves:
So the Queen with a smile, rapidly) changed her position, and the gallanu sailors obtained their tot, and doubtless drank the Royal health with more than usual enthusiasm.
TIME-HAVING THISHMAN.
When King Edward held a lover in Dublin Castle during bis visit in 1903 numerous addressca were presented from cities, counties and councils..
The leading representative of the de- patation handed the document, some times beautifully illuminated, to his fajesty, who, after receiving it, gave it to a Court functionary. who gave it to another. and it was handed où until the last one threw it into a very large basket.
The "address presenters, as they ap proached the King, had to pass close in this busket.
One of them. seeing what happened to the addresses, and thinking to save trou
the ble, dropped his document into basket and reachel the King's presence empty handed. to the immense amuse ment of his Majesty and of all present, who could not refrain from open laugh-
ter.
RÉPROVED FOR LOUD LAUGHING. Another story goes;
Jeanie (the countess) and I had the honour of dining with their Majesties during the Royal visit to Ireland. I sat opposite Queen Alexandra. ···
The last time I had dined with the Sovereign was in Queen Victoria's reign, when no one spoke above a whisper.
On this occasion the conversation was general and the" laughter unrestrained. The guests seemed to be thoroughly enjoy- ing themselves; indeed. I was taken to task by my wife for laughing too loudly
KING GEORGE'S RICE PEDDING. During the food shortage in the war a, lady who dined with his Majesty told ne how loyally the appeal to live spar ingly was answered by the King, who ate his simple rice pudding without fur ther comment than that this was the third day in succession the dish had been served, and that he thought some simple variation might be made withent infring ing the spirit of the appeal.
FROM SWEEP TO GENERAL.

SECRET ART DEAL. WOMAN SAVES FAMOUS PICTURE FOR THE NATION,
NAME STILL WITHHELD.
After 15 years' silence the romantic Mtory is revealed to-day of how one of the greatest pictures in the world- Holbein's "Duchess of Milan "-FIA secured for the British nation.
Sir Isidore Spielman, the famous, art expert, tells it in the October number of the Vineteenth Century,
Only one fact is still kept secret, and that is the name of the benefactress who saved the picture for the nation by a munificent gift to the National Art Col lections Fund of £40,000. Her name must never be revealed, for that was a condi- tion upon which the gift was mude, “and it was demanded of us," sayz Sir Jaidore,
for sound and sufficient repsona.

Acidity, The Cause Of Indigestion.
Once get rid of acidity, and away go in- digestion, gastritis, sickness or whatever
form your stomach trouble may take. To banish harmful stomach acidity it is only neccesary to take a simple antacid product known as Binuated Magnesia. This pre- paration stops all trace of acid fermenta tion the instant it ogters the stomach; it prevents even the possibility of pain and ensures that your food will do you good. Doctors recommend Bisurated Magnesis; hospitals use it, and grateful people every- where recommend it in the hope that others will be spared the torture that they once endured.
Let it help you-any chemist can supply this remedy at little cost in either powder or tablet form. When buying be
