How Healthy and Strong
he looks!"
Sir Gilbert Parker, Be, the distinguished
novelist and statesman, writes:
"I have used Sanatagen with extraordinary benefit. It is to my mind a true tonic food, feeding the nerves, mi treasing the energy and giving pesh vigour to the overworked body and mind.
"A few weeks ago he looked quite l -his nerves were all to pieces, and he was fatigued by the slightest exertion.“ "Yes, but he has been taking Sanatogen since then, and it certainly seems to have worked wonders. His glowing cheeks, bright eyes and buoyant step simply radiate health."
There is no guesswork about Sanat ogen's action. It really does all that it claims to do, A distinguished physician recently proved by actual tests on men and women that Sanatogen increased their vitality by an average of 23%. (See Medical Echo, Jan. 1926). Sanatogen infuses into the blood and. nerve cells the vital elements-phos phorus and albumin-from which Bodily Health and nerve-energy are derived. It provides, in a natural mánner, just that extra energy that makes life go with a swing.

In this abolition of seclusion, I have not the slightest doubt in eay. anding that the point will be hotly contested by rival parties at Kabul, and the modernists cannot hope to bring about any radical change of a tradition based upon a history of a thousand years.

First of all there is the subject of the Central Administration. Situated in Kabul, its various departments such as that of educa- tion, agriculture, industry, justice, police, finance, and foreign afairs, require a com- plete overhaul. Improvements in them would automatically awaken greater sense of responsibility in the provincial administration.
The Educational Department is being conducted extraordinarily well by Faiz Hohamed Khan, with
