"The results of diminished nerve-force comprise headache, loss of sleep, indi- gestion, easily induced fatigue, disin- clination for bodily or mental exertion, loss of memory and a lack of vigour in all physical functions. To overcome these conditions science has produced Sanatogen. The gain through its aid is permanent; it builds up, fortifies and strengthens because it is a real cell food"
These are the words of DR. CLAUDE L. WHEELER, the well-known scientist. They prove what Sahatogen will do for you. And remember that DR. WHEELER is only one of 24,000 physicians. who tried Sanatogen and wrote to the makers about the splendid results obtained.
A tonic, the value of which has been proved sa often and so clearly, is surely worth while trying. Start taking Sanatogen to-day and see how it will revitalize you, how it will overcome that debility and listlessness, how it will give you sound sleep at night and healthy energy in the day.

UNACHIEVED AMBITION.
In compiling a list of the ten best pro- fessional players opinions are bound to differ, but here is my list with the names of the men placed in what, I think, is their order of merit:-
Abe Mitchell
A. Compston.
E. Ray.
A. Boomer. P. Allia
CA. Whitcombe. G. Gadd:
G. 'Duncan. A. G. Havern. F. Robson..
Constantly to head the list of averages without ever winning the Championship, which sets the seal to a man's fame,'ap pears to be somewhat anomalous. This is Mitchell's fate. No man has tried harder, and no man is more worthy of the honour. Nos caly does Mitchell head the list of averages in scoring com- petitions, but he has the highest" por centage of wins in match and score play. His scoring average in stroke play is the amazingly low one of 70.8 for twenty-six rounds
Campston comes second both in the average and percentage tables. His average for the same number of rounds as Mitchell is 74.2, but Competon comes closer in the percentage table of wing with 60.7. His record for the year is most imposing, and is as follows: Bunner ap to Boomer in the Roehampton tourna ment; winner of the £1,000 Northern Section Qualifying Competition; runner- up with Ray in the Open Championship; winner of the one thousand guineas Gleneagles tournament winner of the Leeds Cup winner of the £1,000 Nor thern Section Qualifying Competition; winner of the British Professional Match- Play Championship at Moor Park; runner-up in the French Open Cham pionship at Chantilly,
Compiron is a man of great personality with ambitions. He is anxious to tour America. early in the New Year with. either Mitchell or Duncan es a partner. Mitchell has definitely declined on two grounds firstly, that he has only just commenced three years engagemant with Mr. Samuel Ryder of St. Albans, as private professional; and, secondly, that past American trips have done more, to ruin his golf than anything else. Once Compston sets foot in the Statesvik.is more than likely that he will not return, especially when he finds that men like Hagen, Barnes, Farazen, and Macdonald Smith are making smell fortunes out of the game
for that matter neither does Havers, but as post-war champions with an extensivo knowledge of the shots it can only by assumed that the derangement in their respective games is only a temporary phase. It must be confessed, however, that the symptoms have lasted quite long enough. Duncan's average is the not very satisfactory one of 70.8 for thirty two rounds, while that of Hayers is 78.3 for thirty rounds
It is a distinct pleasure to be able to include the name of Robson. He comes high in the averages with 74.0 for twenty. four rounds of medal play, but his per- centage of wins is the low one of 18.1. In summarising the position of British professional golf the standard fortunately cannot quita bo compared with that of America, though it may be truthfully said that the signs of solid and substantial improvement are dis- tinctly noticeable.
