"Yes, he certainly is a success now. He simply radiates energy and power," Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of the blood and nerves those elements phosphorus and albumin from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. Scientific research has proved beyond doubt that Sanatogen in. creases the number of red blood cells enormously, viz. 80,000 per c.mm, in one week, or 200,000 in a fortnight (figures supplied by one of the leading hospitals).

£10 and a Motor Larry,
Only the other day, in Johannes- burg, in 1927 to be exact, a gold digger sold his wife for £10 and
motor lorry. This transaction was pleaded as a defence and set off to an action for the return of the lorry.
The world moves very slowly, and maybe I am optimistic in thinking we have liberated our law from all traces of the chattel-hood of wives. If your dog or your wife bites your neighbour you pay

Ham is good down to the last drop of fat every particle of meat and the bone can be utilized. There need be no waste at all-even the skin that is cut off the ham can be used, for no better flavour can be had for certain fried foods, than that which ham grease imparts.

A ham to be delicious must be thoroughly cooked-none of the sweetness is lost in the cooking, Cook almost to the point where it begins to crumble, and carve thin slices.
When baking a ham, wash the ham thoroughly the day before, sprinkle with soda, and rinse in cold water. Let stand over night in clear water. Place ham in a deep kettle. If the ham is small one, use about six or eight cloves, half a teaspoon of celery seed, half teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ten pepper, corne and one quart of sweet cider. Cover with boiling water and let simmer until perfect- ly tender all through-four or five hours. Take from the kettle, re- more skin and sprinkle ham with two tablespoons of brown sugar, brush over with beaten egg, cover.

WOMEN AND ** BOYS.”
In the course of an Old Bailey trial a woman barrister referred to the prisoner she was defending as a boy. As he was twenty-four years of age the judge was of opinion that he might be called a man. But women are extremely re- luctant to admit that their male fellow-creatures over, grow up. The idea of an ineradicable masculine helplessness is deeply implanted in the feminine mind. It comes from those days in the nursery when the giants of later years were helpless animalcule who could not be fed, clothed, washed, prevented from falling into the fire or eating pins and coal, without the help”‚öf ́a woman. They have put of height and weight and muscle since then, but women always believe that for all thair swagger and stature most men are still children and need a deal of mothering and guidance.

TABLE TALK.
It's hard to lay down any rules for table talk. Probably there shouldn't be any set rules. When people meet together in a spirit of comradeship there is a spontane- ous interchange of ideas. They don't need a programme. But that isn't saying that the parents cannot guide the trend of conversation. They should lead it and see to it that this time, is not an occasion for airing complaints and relating unpleasant incidents and experi
