LORD JELLICOE OPPOSED. WORKMAN NOMINATED BY BRITISH LECION BRANCH.
The Leicester branch of the British Legion have decided to nominate Mr. Charles Collins, their vice-president, a shoe operative, to be president of the British Legion, in opposition to Lord Jellicoe.
They are doing this as e protest against the national executive, who, they maintain, tried to decide on the presidency without consulting the branches.

Nerve-Strength

"I am stronger than ever before,” wrote a Sanatogen-user, after having taken this preparation for a time..
A hot climate has made many a man a nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sánatogen regularly.
Sanatogen by the power of its constituents-- albumin and phosphorus-infuses into the cells of nerves, blood and body, exactly those elements which build up nerve-strength lastingly.
Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote in
The Lancet
"A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sunatogen.”
