The value of Sanatogen for all men and women is not at all surprising, for Sanatogen is a tonic, which, because of its ideal composition, "goes to the core of well-being, viz., the cells, and builds these up into a solid and permanent fabric of health," as a well-known London physician says.

Trombone players are appar- ently at a discount in London nowadays. When Mr. Augustus John gave a party in his Chelsea studio he tried without success to find someone to play the huge brass cavalry trombone that he bought a little while ago.

To my surprise I learned that there is every likelihood of cham- pagne, even as old as that, keep- ing in good condition if carefully looked after. Most people believe that 15 years is as long as cham- pagne will remain sound. More surprising still was the informa- tion that some people contend that they enjoy champagne even when it is as flat as draught beer.

One can now ring up a Cowes telephone number and book a suite of rooms in what was a Royal residence, and occupy the actual apartments used by mem- bers of our own Royal Family when Osborne Cottage was Prin- cess Beatrice's home (says the "London Evening News.") Osborne Cottage, which has many a sentimental link with Victorian days, was a gift of Queen Victoria to her youngest daughter on her| marriage to Prince Henry of Battenburg, and it was there that Princess Ena, now Queen of Spain, spent her childhood. When the place was built it cost several thousand pounds, and £1,000 was spent on the installation of cen- tral heating and other modern improvements. It has now been! bought by a member of the old! aristocracy, who declines to divulge his name, and it is to bel run, under his control, on the lines of a residential hotel.

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

THE "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.”-

All those at Home who are interested, directly or indirect- ly, in Hong Kong and its relations with China will be pleased to have heard the re-assuring statement by Mr. G. Locker Lampson.

That very informative, but nevertheless brief, announce- ment has served as an appetiser. Further news is wanted.

Business houses in Hong Kong should tell their con- nections what conditions are prevailing. Individuals should keep their friends posted as to events. Why has trade between Hong Kong and South China improved?

The "Overland China Mail' will answer for you, a number of questions which are always cropping up. Each day's China cables, reports and local news will be found on reference to an index in each issue. For reading or for reference, the "Overland" is equally useful.

This week's "Overland" tells clearly and concisely how a net is spreading around the Chinese Communists at Hankow; how the anti-foreign party is beset with a food shortage, an economic crisis and impending invasion; how foreign vessels have been wantonly attacked, with casualties to an American gunboat; how a British hulk was burned by mischief makers; how the series of startling events at Canton affects Hong Kong all with footnotes and explanations which tell non-Chinese what they keenly wish to know about China.
