"Great, feeling fine! Things really might be better-but life is not so bad after all.” "You have changed! The other day you told me a different story."

"Oh that! Yes! I didn't feel so well a few weeks ago. I felt pretty bad-nervous, no appetite and so on. But Sanatogen made a wonderful difference. In a few weeks' time all the old energy came back. It's a glorious thing to be thoroughly healthy, in fact, it makes you feel young again.

Sanatogen infuses into the cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phos phorus and albumin--from which bodily health and nerve-strength are derived. In the Medical Echo of Jan. 1926, a physician describes how he tested Sanatogen on 5 medical students

THE CHURCH AND

WAR.

MR. LLOYD GEORGE'S

CHALLENGE. ́ ́.

"THEY OUGHT TO FORCE DISARMAMENT."

"As"one who was a Minister at the time war was declared I say that if the Churches of Christen- dom had come together and said, Halt This murder must not be- gin, there was not a Minister or a monarch who would have dared to do it," said Mr. Lloyd George at the Welsh Chapel, East Castle Street, Marylebone, W.

"The last war," be 'said, "was made by monarchs, statesmen, and warriors who were all Christians," Ele added:

We may we have learnt cur lesson. Last night I went to see the great pageant at Aldershot. Among the incidents depicted was the most sanguinary battle of the Peninsular War. Badajoz. In the last war it would have been an insignificant skirmish as far as losses are concerned-after 100 years of Christianity had elapsed the carnage is infinitely more terrible.

Judging by the beginning of the 20th century and the begin -ning of the 19th century, when these hatties were fought, not only has the Church made no progress with its mission of peace on carta and good will among men, but it has gone back.

"DO NOT LET LAWYERS FEAST ON CARCASE."

DRAMATIC APPEAL.

Strong opposition to the recon. atruction proposals of Baldwins Ltd., the great iron and steel ron- cern, was voiced at an animated meeting of the Seven and Half per cent. debenture holders held in London on June 28th.

There was almost an uproar at one time, six stockholders standing up at the same time to express their opinions, but Sir Robert Horne, who presided, managed to keep order. The meeting, after issting two and a half hours, was adjourned for a fortnight.

His latest exploit was when he broke into the apartment of M. de Crozale in the Avenue de Suffren. M. de Crozals states that at about 3.30a.m. he was awakened by an electric torch fashed in his face and that he saw a tall man in dres clothes, wearing a black velvet mask and gloves and carrying the torch in one hand and an automa- tic pistol in the other.

I am sorry to inconvenience you," the man said, speaking with a good accent, "but you must give me £100 at once."

When M. de Orozale declared that he had no such aum with him the burglar ransacked the dressing table, took all the small change he Similar burglaries were commit found (£5), and disappeared. ted twice recently at the house of

The resolutions for the reduction of the company's capital from £9,000,000 to £4,213,368 were passed almost unanimously at an earlier meeting of the Preference and OM de Riegles, dinary shareholders, at which the debenture holders, as such, were not present.

Writing Down Capital.

Sir Robert Horne emphasised at the meeting of the Seven and a Half per cent, debenture bolders, the need for writing down the capital to a figure representing the value of the assets and the need for raising new money, if the company were to continue. New capital, be said, could not be secured if the scheme were not passed.

The Church is in the witness box. What is its answer to that? If the Christian Churches were united, Mr. Lloyd George con- tinued, they ought to force dis- armament on the world.

You will never get peace by declaration outlawing war," he said, and added:

The meeting was at its noisiest, and a clamour was made for the adjournment, when Mr. Campbell,

of the directors, made dramatic appeal to the meeting in support of the scheme. "If you defeat this," he said. "I think some of us are going to throw up the sponge. We are very, very tired."

I think the Churches will begin to think of answering these ques tions. It rests with them, and it they do not do it I cannot, see where the hope is to come from. Mr. Lloyd George' referred to a charge that the responsibility for poverty and social mineries rested with the Churches. "So it does," he declared.
