gang which seems well suited to de Portuguese tan- peranicat, have done more than all these bookish people to convince our oldest friends in Europe that the Englishman is capable of being thawed out. Here, in- deed, history repeats itself; for in the days of canzas, English and Portuguese knights of cheraleris, when jousting was the game were the friendiest rivals in the lists, and the heavier and more rugged islanders were often overcome in a sport which could only be successfully practised by fine horsemen, with a knowledge of pace and a capacity Tor accurate timing. The truth is that jousting was really a ball-game-the oppon. ent's head being the hall, which had to be hit fairly and squarely. Dr. Theopho Bruga's " Twelve of England" is one of severa Portuguese poems which recalls this friendly rivalry in a noble diversion. It is based on a tradition which is men. tioned by Ganoeps, and was also the theme. of a lost epic by Almeida Garrett. It tells show, when the indies of Edward the Third's Court had been slighted by the English Knights, their cause was taken up by the Portuguere Champions. The twelve choven by John of Gaunt duly vindicated their ladies in the lists, and also in various "gentle and joyons " tesla to which they submitted in the festivities that followed."

AGE-LONG AMITY"

The friendship of England and Fortugal is deeply rooted in history; the two peoples were comrades in the Crusades and even earlier as some authorities contend. This age-long amity is a golden thrend of clue in the whole of our pervicing island story: as continuous and easy to trace, indeed, as the black thread of German hatred, with

They have been described as wax, ready for some hand of power to mould to new purposes, by men who should know the ychology of their countrying.

A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICE,

Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat-making food every day and still do not increase in weight one ounce, while on the other hand any of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this is the nature of the individual. It isn't Nature's way

at

all.

Thin folks stay thin because their powers of assimilation are defective. They absorb just enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a semblance of health and strength. Staffing won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't mako them gain a single "slay there" pound. All the fat-producing elements of their food just stay in the intestinos until they pass from the body as waste. What such poople need is something that will pre- pare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and deposit them all about the body. Something, tor, that will multiply their red blood co puscles and increase
