DECREASING NERVE FORCE.

HOW THE WEärness May DE COMPLETELY RESTORED.

THE HONGKONG DAIĻY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1118, 1919.

AN AMERICAN POETICAL GENIUS.

A YOU'VIL WHO RANKS WITH KEATS AND BYRON,

Few conditions are more depressing on

The poet whose advent has been pro- the one hand and irritating on the other than those which arise from a gradual heated by the literary scouts of America failing of nerve force. The unfortunate Sen Francisco Chronicle, in the person for many years has appeared, says the sufferor fools his strongth gradually of Clark Ashton Smith, of Auburn, ebbing away, and is, every day, more conscioun that he is loan able to perform California. He is a bay only 18 and has his allotted task until it seems as if the lived all his life in the seclusion of a only course open to hùm is to resign his mountain farm, with his first sight of a ofico. It is not that he wants relaxation, city sercely two years ago. His educa- for he has as little energy for play as for tion has been limited to that furnished work. The consequence is he has an ever

in his earlier yours directed his reading human being to be in. We all need to and sympathized with his commanings Associate with our kind, that we may

with nature, brush the cobwebs from our brain and maintain our interest in everything

around us.

It is under such conditions that men, and women, too, lend to wreck their lives. To combat the feeling of weak) ness, they fly to alechot on the one hand or to drugs on the other. The conse quence is, that before they know where they are they have become slaves to habits from the thraldom of which they would give anything to escape.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY. Happily, an easy way exists oat of the slavery, if it has, unfortunately, bern acquired, as well as from the feeling of weakness. This is through the aid of Samatogen. It is boy late in the day to attempt to sing the praises of this preparation, for its reputation is world wide, and, among doctors, it enjoys the reputation of n health restorative second to none. Indeed, it is not going too far to say that the medical profession throughout the civilised work now looks upon it as a means of restoring health, And even of saving life, when everything else has failed. As a matter of fact, the number of cases in which doctors have placed it on record that, in their un- qualified opinion, Sanacogen has saved the life of their patients, may be counted in hundreds if not in thousands.

Seeing how powerful Sanatogen is, and that its power is primarily directed to the nervous system, it is obvions that it must exercise a profound influence for the better in all cases of decreasing nerve force. It is quite easy to understand why this must be so. Evory nerve and all nervous tissue-needs a certain amount maintain its condition of phosphorus to of health. When this phosphorus is used up too rapidly, through the individual making too great overdrafts on it, a feel ing of nerve weakness is established. To overcome this weakness the phosphorus must be restored to its original quantity, The situation is precisely comparable with a man overdrawing his account at the bank. Before he can use his bank again he must make good the overdraft.

REMARKABLE MEDICAL OPINIONS. Nothing restores the overdraft of phos- phorus to the nervous system so rapidly or so easily as Sanatogen. The reason is that the phosphorus it contains is in the same form as is found in the brain and nervous system, and it is chemically combined with the nitrogenous or body building portion of pure milk, which ex- perience and many experiments have proved is the best possible substaner for the purpose.

Boutwell Dunlap, attorney and Consul for the Argentine Republic, wiile spend- ing a vacation at his old home at Auburn a few years ago, discovered the boy by accident. After he had succeeded in win- ning the confidence, of this diffident youth he was shown a number of odes and Bonnets which, the young poet had writ- ten in the solitude of his mountain haunts, and he was amazed at their strength and the magnitude of their con- ception.

BRIKOS GENIUS TO SAN FRANCISCO.

He became so interested in what he felt Convinced was a genius that he brought him to San Francisco, and during the week that the hoy spent here, obtaining his first idea of metropolitan life, intro- duced him to a number of his literary friends.

Some of his verses were submitted to George Sterling at that time, and he pronounced them equal to some of the work of John Keats. Since then be has written about fifty poems, which Dunlap has arranged with Alexander Robertson, the publisher, to bring out in book form in Novermber, and they are expected to create a sensation in the literary world.

The archives of California poetry have been ouriched by the works of Joaquin Miller,

Charlos Warren Stoddard, George Sterling and Hartman Schoffnuer, and many who have added single notes of rare poetic harmony, but have not been sufficiently prolific to be identified by name, but those men have written in a lyrical strain.

There is no attempt on their part to enter the field of epic poetry. are what might be called popular poeta, because the full significance of their meaning may be grasped at a glance by any one of ordinary intelligence. They wrote to be understood. Their poetic im- pulse was never so strong as to make them forget their prospective auditors,

They are talented posts, but not grat geniuses.

RANKS WITH MILTON, FOFE AND DRYDEN. Clark Ashton Smith, however, must be recognized as belonging to the latter class. In the work that he has already done he ranks with Milton, Pope and Dryde..

The most mature poem of the collection is entitled "Nero," from which the following is an excerpt:-

YAPONITA SHUFFLE.

LATEST BALLROOM RIVAL TO THE BOSTON.

·

[

The Yaponita Shuffle is a simpler, sweeter thing-a dance which would not bring a blush even to the cheeks of the musical comedy ingénue. It is an etherialized version of the Washington Post of our youth, made graceful-which the Washington Post fever was--and threaded with a delightful revival of that joy of our childhood, "playing at trains."

HOW IT WORKS.

This in the official description of it

Shuffle (pianissimo), 2/4 time, à bars in weird minor key. Then valse (forte and ff), bright valse in major kay, 32 bars. Da capo to shuffe ad lib. SHUFFLE. The lady crouches a little,

face to the right side, bebind part ner's back with her hands on his shoulders.

It is more effective if dancers will keep their feet on the floor and make us little noise as possible. The last three notes of the sbuffs the ladies lightly stamp, stamp, stamp, while the gentlemen turn swiftly round

to be ready for the valse. Mr. Theodore Distin is the inventor of theYaponita Shuffle."

Those dancers who have tried it," he tuld an Express representative recently, are delighted with the shuffle, where the girl trips forward-one, two, three, four ob her to just as a child does when playing at trains.

"One of the great points about the dance is that it does not tire you. At the same time, it forms a welcome break in the waltz, and it does not necessitate Ever since the Boston began its reigri pacing about the room at any angle and over our ballrooms, there has been a disturbing the other dancers, as small, a disgusted perhapa, party of

Now the anti-Bostonites have their chance. They must Bock round the standard of the Yaponita Shuffle. It is not so terrible as its name. It bears no relationship to the dreaded Banny Hug, the terrible Turkey Trat, the atrocious Tango:
