"So Healthy & Vigorous"

Dr. Claude L Wheeler, the well-known scientist, writes:

"The user of Senslagen is sichly rewarded in freedom from languor, e gain of strengik and activity, alertness of mind and a rapid storation of the ability plan and execnie.”

Sir Gilbert Parker,. Bt.,

the famous novelist, writes:

"I have used Sanatogen with extraordinary bene fit. Le feeds the nerves, increasing the energy and giving frash vigour to -the-over-worked body

and mind.”

*And to think that a short time ago he was one of those nervous, plodding men of whom nobody takes much notice."

"Yes, he certainly is a success now. He simply radiates energy and power." Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of the blood and nerves those elements- phosphorus and albumin-from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. Scientific research has proved beyond doubt that Sanatogen in- creases the number of red blood cells enormously, viz. 80,000 per c.mm. in one week, or 200,000 in a fortnight (figures supplied by one of the leading hospitals). And in the Medical Echo, of March 1924, a physician published the following graph:

Simplified Politics. Turkey's international politics HOW comparatively simple, simpler than at any time since the noniad ancestors of the present Turks swept out of Central Asia with their herds and flocks to con- quer by the sword the whole of the Near East and more. Turkey is largely relieved of the fear which bas dominated it ever since 1774, of the fear of foreign conqueat, and yel it is that fear which is basically responsible for the change that has taken place in the Turk and for his decision to turn from the East to the West.

Waternization.

The Westernization of Turkey-is, especially to the dweller in the Far East, the most interesting phase of New Turkey. It presents another angle of the conflict that is under way throughout the whole of Asia and on across the Suez into North ern Africa, the conflict between Eastern and Western culture and vivilization, a conflict on which the shaping of the world may we

Westernization under Peter the Grent, defeated the Turks in arms, foreing hame the conviction that Western military methods were vastly superior to Turkish, and that if Turkey were to survive it was essential that the army be Westernised.

One of the local public bodies has a number of white men in its employ one road construction. These men work side by side with natives and get 28. ed. n day of 10 working hours in the heat of summer and the iey blasts of winter.

White men, employed as forc men of construction gangs, receive 6 10. a month and all are mar- ried men.

Disappearing Stock.

On #fair-sized farm I met a young married man with four children, who is employed as farm foreman. He unburdened himself: as to his impossible lot. He gets} El a month and the right to graze 100 small stock. He now possesses 30, and week by week the number decreases, piling up the tragedy.

Another man I met married with five children-was on his way trekking. He was, according to his story, bundled off by his Inte employer because he protested against the meat ration. His wages were three buckets of meal and mealies, two goats, and 158. cash a month.

Day by day the trek to the const towns, and particularly Port Elizabeth, is proceeding. A few days ago I passed no fewer than three wagons laden with human freight bound for Port Eliza beth.

So far, it is stated, expanding industries have been able to absorb a portion of the influx.

Military Failures. Unfortunately the Turks did not realize that a Western army is not the enuse but merely a product of Western civilization, and the first attempts at Westernization were Foredoomed to failure since they ignored administrative, financial and economic reforms. From „1774 10 the present day it has been the military which has taken the lead in revolt and reform in Turkey, due to the fact that Turkish officers have been allowed a Western educa- PRINCE OF WALES' SUMMER Lion denied to other classes.
