"Feeling like 10 men & a boy
"I would not be without Sandtoge under any cİTERI- stances"—wrices
Max Pemberton,
the famous author
--especially the boy"
"Formerly I regarded a nerve-food on a par with goloshes, flannel next the skin and dill-water." Thus a contributor wrote in 'Golfing, Jure, 1926.
Feeling cheap and nasty after a motor-accident, hé was persuaded-as he protests-in a weak moment, to try Sanatogen.
"Since then," he writes, "I have felt relatively" like ten men and a boy, especially the boy." Small wonder that he is enthusiastic and recommends Sanatogen. Sanatogen is a highly concentrated nerve-food, infusing into the very cells of blood and nerves those elements phosphorus and albumin-from which they dérive strength and vigour.
That is why Sanatogen must do you good, why it will conquer fatigue, renew the blood and revivify the whole nervous system. Decide to start a course of Sanatogen to-day. So many people are enthusiastic about Sanatogen; why should you not, at least, try it?

A FORGOTTEN WAR FUND.
DISQUIETING REVELATIONS IN DENMARK,
There is an uncomfortable feeling in these days that something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
The suicide last month of Gustav Arendrup, a well-known man in nir important and trusted position in the Ministry of Commerce, aroused the suspicion of his superiors, and an investigation revealed that dur ing a period of six years Arendrup The had embezzled sums totalling a quarter of a million kroner from a fund which had been in his sole charge. The fund, which amounted to one million kroner, had accrued from a wartime marine insurance scheme.

It is difficult to adjust the claims of naive impressionism and scientific analysis of the spiritual realm with out seeming to disparage one or the other; but I think it only requires the same commonsense that we apply to the affairs of ordinary life. Science has an important part to play in our everyday existence, and there is far too much "neglect of science: but its intention is to supplement not to supplant the familiar outlook.

Religion for the conscientious seeker is not all a matter of doubt and self-questionings. There is a kind of surenCRA which is very different from cocksureness.
