It is a mere commonplace to say that there is "boom" in lawn tennis. The demand for courts, the enormous entries for the tournaments of the sea- son, culminating in Elbourne with its 1,000 matches, the crowde that flock to sen the Champion. ships at Wimbledon, are all convincing testimony. It is equally unnecessary to point out at this time of day the many morits of the gaine, especially for busy men, for it combines nearly all the advantages imaginable, which may be summed up ae plenty of competitive enjoyment and good exercise to be obtained in a short time. Pioneers and Modern Masters.
Whether the greatest modern players are better than those of the past is a debatable question, but one to which speculation and comparison can bring no certain answer. The great players of the past were largely pioneers, and the discovery and invention of new methods, new strokes, new services, have all led to a speeding-up of the game The old irreverent name of “ pat-ball" bas deservedly almost died out, and though a soft ball can never be hit with quite the same a hard joyous delight us one, especially in a court whose limits must preclude the fall half volley, yet how hard the lawn tennis ball can be bit within limits is quite astonishing.

Sanatogen
THE FOOD-TONIC
There is another way in which Somatogen proves of great service. Even temperate people are naturally inclined at this time to depend too much; on alcohol and other stimulants, as a means of counteracting de languor, depressionand kritability from which all Europeans suffer. Sapatogen corrects this tendency, because it gives just that mental and emotional exhilaration which is needed and gives it permanently, without any reaction or other Injurious effects. This, of course, is due to is powerful, yet quite healthy and natural, influence on the brain cells?
Take Sanatogen regularly.
There is no doubt that you need Sanatogen-- everybody doea during this weather. And your own doctor will recommend you to take it regularly, as a genuine and safe invigorator. Why not start taking it to-day-here and now before your vital energy is further depressed by die heat?
