ART AND A PEOPLE'S SOUL

The Re-creator of Lost Health.

Sir Gilbert Parker, M.P.:

"have used Sazatogen with exitaordinary beneat. It is to my mind aus facd one, feeding the nerver, decreasing.

the energy, and giving fresh vigour to the overworked body and mind."

Sir John Hare: /

"I have found Saratogen a most valuable ronic and stimulent, and can heartily recommend."

"If I wild only get well and strong again!" How often are those words uttered by men and women' who, though up and about, are, nevertheless, ill, with racked nerves, failing strength, and depleted vitality?

To them, as to those who are ill in bed, this announce- ment is a message of hope of the certain conquering of their physical and nervous disabilities through the medium of Sanatogen, the supreme revitaliser of body, brain, and nerves. Sanalogen's reputation has its foundation firmly fixed in that unshakeable bed-rock-the justified experience of the medical profession; and that, after the most searching and exhaustive tests.

Among the disordered conditions in which Sanatogen is pre-eminently beneficial are nervous' debility and breakdown, weakened and disordered nerves, brain-fag, insomnia and loss of memory, disordered digestion and dyspepsia, anæmia, with its inevitable lang nor, palpitation, shortness of breath, and loss of vitality.

Sanatogen's constituents are known to every doctor. They are milk-proteid and glycero-phosphate of sodium, chemically combined to form a new compound which exercises the most potent and profound influence over the Nerves, Brain, and Body. For this reason it acts like a charm in the above-named conditions, its beneficial effects being invariably felt in a very short time.

As a general tonic Sanatogen is unequalled, and it is the supreme restorative in convalescence from all acute diseases. It is easily digested, rapidly assimilated and absorbed, and is the greatest known builder of physical strength and re-creator of lost nervous energy,

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND.

OF TYETTE GUILBERT:] In England, as in Franco-indeed anywhere, every where the soul of a people is not fashion ed in the one mould, nor wrought to a single pattern Nay, all its parts are scattered throughout the provinces, and every end of the hand create the testimony of its wide significance. In Paris you will not find the whole soul of France.

For the fulness and her reality you must search all over the Jand, to bar uttermost parish, so that, by fusion of the whole, you may alone discover the soul of the whole people.

So in London will not discover England: but to country places, to her furthest bordma, you must go and gather together and melt into whole the thing that is the soul of the people. No, the great central elites are but the head and front of race. London, Faris, Berlin, Vienna-three do not give utterance to the

whole

soul of the peoples. You must seek it far and wide throughout the land, at the confes sional, of those ports who reveal the aspirations and desires of the folk in far hamlets, as well as in the voice of the cities themselves--the voice of the race attered in its art. And the volos that gives the most articulate confession of the roul of a people is in the songs of the people- the most complete image of the soul of the 12.00. To trace the literature of song in England is to discover the mentality of the British people.

Lot France and England, then, stand forth at the great conferatona).

SHEER TRUTH.

The mentality of France has never abrunk from one great quality; Her art of song bas nover swerved by a baire-breadth from fidelity to the land and to the race; it has never bowed to false geds; it has been true to the altar of its faith fearless truthfulness. Daughter of ancient Gaul, she is frankly, fearlessly, at times recklessly, natural. She never hesitates to set aside modesty if her sense of satire or justice demands the trath; and thus, and only thas. ever thas, can the great loseons of morality be revealed to the human soul --by feericas truth, without the allurements and the hypocrisies of immorality for immorality alwara parades the glamour of vice, always sants svell oror is hideous consequences. Whatever Its falls, there has never been a race more straightforward than the French people. In her literature and in her song, truth without besitation, without reserve, without mock- modesty is forever discovering to the unwary. the pitfalls of life. Strangers do not under stand, or understand ill, or misunderstand, the real value of the French sincerity-the freedom of French art

It is in this straightforward, fearless grip of trath that the literature of France, hus, and bas siways had, its foundations. It has never swerved from it. Whatsoever cradities. may have gone with it, strangers have only too readily exaggerated and dwelt upon; but the virile and vital art that results has never been denied, nor can be denied.

Now this great and vigorous race, the Eng. lich people, strong and virile, strangely enough, has not for generations shown this fearless truthfulness in its art in any of its arts. What ever fine qualities you may discover in English literature, you seek in vain for this fearless and straight forward fidelity to the land and the race. England could not have produced over mighty people if that people had been repre- sented by her modern literature.

In her earlier centuries she, like 'all the other grent peoples, steeped her literature in the general atmosphere of her aspirations, of her life, of her real feelings, and revealed her grip apon life as a whole. She followed the highway of her destiny freely, fearlessly, until one fine day, almost before his singing was done, the free and fearless art of the mighty Shakespeare was dethroned by a Paritanism which bound the frath hand and foot,

English songs of the seventeenth and eight. eenth centuries contain obscenities so appalling that I know no romance or song or pret of the past in France to equal them. There are volumes of these English songs which it, would be very curious to read before a public warned of the intention-these old songs which were the naked soul, the fundamental soul, the soul. sincere, of that England which to-day is maak. ed and made up, painted and powdered like an artificial beauty,"

At the same time I am surprised to see that this Puritanism has left the English race delightful, so found, SQ full of those qualities that make one, when one comes to know England, with to live one's life in the land. It is because the soul of the Eng ish people is really as straightforward as their heart is sound and courageous that my frank- ness has been shown so loyally in these words that I write in the hope that they may be un derstood, and that an old friend like myself has dared to sing core of the humane songs which modesty does not parade itself.
