A bot climate has made many a man a nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sanatogen 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:

Schools of domestic economy are to be opened in all Italian factories and workshops of a certain size en ploying women.
Although this obligation on pro- prietors of factories and workshops is not yet n Government decree, it ia law to all intents, since it comes in the form of an order to all em- ployers inscribed in the Fascist Party, which is in effect practically to all employers.
Signor. Turati's order is a direct result of the Congress of Domestic Economy held in Rome last year. His recent order was one of the resolutions of the Congress, and it will doubtless become a Government decrea in due course.
Employers are invited to open at their own expense in their fac taries, Dr near them, properly equipped schools of domestic economy, and provide them with specialized instructors.
Work is to be carried on in the schools during ordinary working hours, and is to be paid for by the employers in the same way and at the same rates as the regular work done by the women. All the women employed in the factories will take their turn to attend the classes of domestic economy..
