It is possible, of course, for Japan to hold up the new tariff indefinitely. All the principal trad. ing Powers have now completed new treaties with China, permit ting tari autonomy. No objection has been made, even by Japan, to the announced tariff schedule, but all these treaties include the most. Picul. favoured nation clause. If Japan 31.46 should successfully resist exaction 28.50
of the new tariff, it could not be applied to any other country's trade.

Hullo! how are you?
Mr.Coma Hamilton, the well-known na- velist and dramacht, writes:
"Sanalogen girts me the energy to do twice
as much, work, zwice as well. It is to the
begins and nerves what petrol is to the ➡zine
"Great, feeling fine! Things really might
be better-but life is not so bad after all"
71
"You have changed! The other day you told me a different story,"
"Oh that Yes !. I didn't feel so well a few weeks ago. I felt pretty bad-nervous, no appetite and so on. But Sanatogen made a wonderful "difference. In a few weeks' time all the old energy came back. It's a glorious thing to be thoroughly healthy, in fact, it makes you feel young again."
Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin--from which bodily. health and nerve-strength are derived.
In the Medical Echo of Jan. 1926, a physician describes how he tested Sanatogen on 5 medical students :
"Is a fortnight their physical and mental
energy increased by an average of 23%. So of their comments on Sanatogen were amusing, such as: A rea! fag-killerine brain-jogger - mmanding real grey-matter tonic.” -
SANATOGEN
The True Tonic-Food
When you feel nervous or run-down, take Sanazogen ̧ for a few weeks and feel the difference in your own health.
Obtainable at all chemists and stores.

The same is true of British 'goods Indo China, or Russian goods from from Burma, French goods. trom
Siberia, but treaties have been or are being negotiated with all those affected except Japan, making the land tarifi the same as the mari- time. Here, again, if Japan insists upon the reduced tariff at the Korean Customs-house, all other nations can claim the reduction under the most-favoured nation clause,
