Good Health
in
Hot Climates
take Sanatogen.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In a hot climate the weak link in a man's Health is either his stomach, his nerves, or his blood. Each complaint renders him more liable to other complaints, so leading towards general debility.. Conquer that hot-climate debility with Sanatogen. Step out of that vicious circle of exhaustion, "nerviness," and fevers, by building up your health and nerve strength. Sanatogen infuses into the blood the very elements- phosphorus and albumin--which are "vitally necessary. Sanatogen increases the quantity of red blood corpuscles, builds up strong nerves, and invigorates the whole system. The weakest stomach can easily digest it.
That great medical paper, "The Lancet," writes 1 "There is abundasit evidence of the value of Sanatogen as a restorative and food, and more particularly in cases of general `debility."
Start taking Sanatogen to-day. It will give you better Nerves and better Health and thus a better Life.

ON MISSING CATCHES.
LITERARY USE OF A SPORTING.
SIMILE
In a latter which he sent to The Tinci recently on the subject of Sir Walter Scott's manuscripts, Mr. M. H. Spiel- maha told of Buskin's annoyance at mining them when they came on the market. I have been speechless with indignation," he wrote to the, friend who was acting on his behalf, since you let go that Guy Mannering' MS." And later, when another opportunity to add to his collection had not been taken,
What on earth do you go "missing" chanco, after chance like that for " he naked. "I'd rather have lost a catch at "cricket than that St. Ronan'" The disappointment which moved so stately, a writer to write "go missing" must in- deed have been painfuls and—at lenest to those whose mental picture of hims a child is the old picture of a savant in petticoats" and who remember how Mr. Frederic Harrison has said of him ihat ho was "ignorant of all boyish gumes and never could learn to ride or dance"-it may well seem surprising that bis anguish as a baffled: collector should have found expression in a seri de cœur from the slips But though it is improbable that at any period of life Ruskin was greatly affected by the pass- ing of a cricket-ball through his fingers, he was ever apt in comparisons nad seldom more skilful or fortunate than in this instance. What he felt at the loss of "that St. Ronan's" was precisely what cricketers feel when the ball, having flashed within their reach, slides, beyond them to the boundary. They wait and wait for the chance. They know, just as the collector knows exactly what it is for which they are waiting. They do not know when or how it will come, but, whei it comes, there is no possibility of mis- taking it as there is of mistaking opportunities of a different kind. In ericket and in collecting the manuscripts. of a particular author the chances are few and definite, the failures apparently irretrievable, and the disappointments proportionately sharp. The ball gom to the boundary and the manuscript „to America All the winged energy of re- morse will not catch them now. - "Other and vaguer opportunities, may to some extent be recovered in alternatives; there are more ways than one to fame and fortune and happiness. But it is uselças to jump again for a catch that is gone, and equally useless, if the buyer is an acquisitive and not a mercenary collec- tor, to hurry across the Atlantic after a unique treasure. There is a anality in the loss greater even than in the loss of a queen at chess, for she has at least a hope of new life, in a ransoming pawn; there is an absolute finality which has driven atout-hearted feldsmen to wish that the 'carth would swallow them and has shaken the intégrity even of Ryskin- Pian prose.
Having said so much in justification of Ruskin's choice of a cricketing parallel. to his grief, we find that Mr. Spici- many has spoiled it all by the end of bia letter. St. Ronan's Well," he яд was not lost for good, but in due time joined the other autograph volumes at Coniston." Ruskin, in short, having missed his catch in the slips, trotted patiently into the country and somehow caught it there. To which there is but one moral that no opportunity | is irretrievable, and that every vide foods again. It is a comforting, pad should hea popular contradiction of common belief. Cricketers must apply it in their own way to their own misfortunes Some- times, it is true, a batsman is charitable enough, after being given a life, to re- pent his error without an embarrassing- y expensive interval; then, the fieldsman who defaulted muy console himself with the thought that his side did not have to pay very heavily after all for the chatce he missed. But it is a poor con- aclation and a rare one--so rare that the hope of it is no sort of comfoft in the first moment of disaster. Then, while companions in the field try not to look reproachful, while the batsman conceals his joy and the crowd moans its dis appointment, it seems to the unhappy man who failed that no failure jean ever have been so complete, so sudden, so overwhelming as his own. Tides may rise and manuscripts be sold again, but the cricket-ball has touched the ground and all is over. In a fraction of a second he has been plunged from the height of expectancy to the depth of despair. He can do nothing but staud there-and-look-joolith - Everything but a missed catch can be retrieved. Cricket, he feels, is more unrelenting than life, After all," in other desperations a man may at least, hang himself; but on a cricket pitch, there is not even n, trees:
