"How did you sleep?

You certainly look fine!”

A physician writes

in the "General Practitiones": "The insomnia of long duration.had produced great de bility: treatment of every kind had no result. Sanatege two teaspaanfula, thrice daily, was prescribed and at the end of a fork- wight the improve ment was marked & sleep was normal.TM

She: How did I sleep 7-If I look the way I feel, you ought to see that I slept like a babe. Do you know, nowadays, I simply love life the whole long day, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed."

He: "Well, you look as fresh as a rosebud and that is flattering language between an old married couple."

She: "Thank you. And you sleep better yourself. What a wonderful change Sanatogen has made in both of us. Like the flow of new life through one's veins."

Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve strength are derived. Over 24,000 physicians have written en- thusiastic letters about the success they obtained with Sanatogen. :

and "War against War." Two flags, one from the Soviet and one from China, were solemnly presented to the "Red Front League" by Herr Thalmann, Communist member of the Reichstag and commander of the League.

Closer in- spection showed many more inside, with a few Union Jacks, Tricolours, Old Glorys and other ancient em- blems, and the thought then occur- red (savs a Shanghai paper) that, with so many canteens to be equip ped, the supply of flags may have
