The Prosilont of the Board of Trade rovojvod a depatation on the 15th alt. From the "Ship. owners' Parliamentary Committee, who placed bo- fore him their views on the subject of Colonial legislation affecting inerobant shipping.

Norman Hili (Liverpool) said that at the Imparial Conference in 1907 two principles were arged (1) The requirements and laws relating to shipping should be uniform through the Empire, bat that he considered the limos of New Zealand and Australian legislation should be generally followed as 6 basis of a uniform : law; and that foroiga

Mr. Hill mud these standards would be administered by surveyors on the spot. and such a proposal would disorganize the whole of thoir business. The linora to Australis New Zealand might possibly to the line' but with regard to the tramp ships, which car- ried the groat bulk of their tonnage, it wonki be absolutely impossible for them to be ready to meet the standards at every port.

The shipowners unanimo ly recognized the right of the Colonies to legis- late with regard to vossofa registered there, or engaged in their own coasting trade, but looking at the enormous importance of the io ternational carrying trade of this country, aud seeing the dangers of unnecessary and

interforen- arbitrary with that trade, ho urgal strongly that In- perial legislation was the only passible way upon. which this country could deal with its interests. Mr. Robert Dunlop (Glasgow) said that felt alarmod at the propes E forward

The reserve of rupees hold by the Indian Government in the Carroney Department has been farther reduced by 84 lakhs during the weak, and now only amounts to 251 crores, but it is getting late in the year for much further decrease, and wo shall shortly Jook for movement the other way.

Much has been said lately about the large stocka in Chine, now amounting to about £3,500,000. Whilst it is quite possible than if anfavourable trade conditions occurred a portion of this might be sold in the Londes or Indian markets, it must not be forgotten that silver ia China is "money" and that if trade develop- ments prored satisfactory this would be quickly absorbed. The Gnancial disturbances that have tatou place in China doring the past year no doubt largely explain why

E

VERY age of life in Shakespeare's immortal Seven Ages" is

prone to discases which under: mine the nervous system and deplete the vitality.

Sanatogen, the world-renowned re. vitaliser, is the remedy of remedies to overcome these disabilities and restore to the normal any incorrect action of the bodily functions.

For Wasting.

In the disorders of "The Infant,'

as much Sanatogen as will go **on the point of a knife," as Beatrice says in Much Ade, will overcome the re tarding influence of disease and enable the little one to develop into a robust "School Boy with shining morning face, when a teaspoonful with each meal will make and keep him strong and healthy.

When, like" The Lover" and "The Soldier," he is fighting for his positioni in the world, mul is liable to be struck down by nervous and wasting diseases, draughts from the Cup of Health". chable him to continue the fight with unimpaire vigor.

For Nervous Breakdown.

The rears take him into the condi tion of "The Justice," and he prefers a sedentary to an active life-then Sanatogen is equally efficacious in mintaining that equilibrium which physicians call health.

As age advances, and, through the gradual disintegration of the tissues, he becomes the "lean and slippered Pantaloon," Sanatogen staves off the ravages of time, while in the "Last Scene" of extreme old age it feeds the flickering flame and prolongs life as nothing else has ever done.

AND HEALING

ANATOGEN is a white powder, a chemical compound of glycero- phosphate of sodium, the active principle of the nervous system, with milk proteid, the chief body-building food which, when mixed with water, milk, or other liquid, becomes the veritable Cup of Health and Heal- ing."

In all forms of nervous diseases with their train of alarming symp toms, like loss of memory, depression

of spirits, lassitude, insonnia, etc., it rapidly restores the tisstie which has been lost.

King Edward VII's

*Physician,

Dr. Ott, Marienbad, praises Sanatogen very highly, and sys-"I have been using Sanatogen for a number of years in my practice with excellent results. These results have been notably good in cases of eklerly people when it was desirable to build up the strength and stimulate the bodily functions."

The Hon.

Mr. Justice Robertson

Judge Chief Court, Lahore, writes : "My experience so far willi Sanatogen has been very favourable, I took it for some weeks during the most trying season of the year-June, July, August -in Lalore and the Panjab plains, and found it a great strengthener.'!

Sanatogen may be obtained of all, chemists and bazaars Aninteresting booklet, "How to Keep Well in Tropical Climates," will be sent post free, on application, to all mentioning this paper.
