Glorious Health follows in the Path of SANATOGEN

There are thousands upon thousands of healthy people who owe all their glorious health of body and nerves solely to the regular use of Sanatogen. It contains, in an easily digested form, every restorative element needed to make good worn out nerve cells and, body tissues.

When beset by weakness of nerves and body, then is the time to take Sanatogen, before the undermined constitution becomes. an easy prey to dysentery, malaria, typhoid, fever, or some other serious ailment.

Mr. Harry de Windt, the famous traveller, writes:"I have served enormous benefit from taking aaberi course of Sanatogen. In a few short weeks it made a new man of mus, physically and mentally

WOULD CAPITAL AND LABOUR BENEFIT?

SOME INTERESTING INTERVIEWS.

[By Our Special Commissioner.]

Considerable Interest has been provoked by "Observer's" letter in the China Mail, of November 9, in which be set forth a strong plea for the cessation of building operationa on Sunday, except in cases of actual and immediate necessity. "Observer" laid, stress on the anomaly of non-Christians in a Christian Colony being permitted to labour on Sundays in the erection of buildings for Christian people and instanced the Y:M.CA. building in Kowloon.

With regard to the new building for the Y.M.C.A. in Kowloon, th clause prohibiting Sunday labour appears to have been omitted through ́an oversight, but whether the omission can be rectifled at this late hour is solely a matter between the Y.M.C.A. Committee and the contractor. There is no law against building on a Sunday, though every Public Works Department contract contains a clause to the effect that work shall not be done on Sunday.
