Nerve - Strength

in hot climates

*I am stronger than ever before,” varote a Sanatogen user, after having taken this preparation for a time.

A hot climate has made many a man a nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sanatogen regularly...

Sanatogen by the power of its "constituents-- albumin and phosphorus-infuses into the cells of nerves, blood and body, exactly those elements which build up nerve-strength lastingly.

Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote in

The Lancet:

"A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the administration of Sanalogen."

DECORATIVE SALADS.

The average housewife looks to her salad as one of the most decora- tive dishes on the table. More than often it has assumed this purpose to the almost complete neglect of tha., food value qualifications.

The salad has developed itself in the past few years from the simple bunch of lettuce leaves tastefully and nourishingly enhanced by 'sn' oil and vinegar dressing to its pre seat state a highly colourful and often gaudy heaping dish of fruits, vegetables or greens smothered in pasty dressings-

While the above description may be slightly overdone, there seems to be nevertheless a tendency on the part of the housewife to place an anfair burden on the salad. A tip should be taken from outstanding creations in lines of endeavour other than culinary, and simplicity should be made the keynote. Bright coloured salads are attractive but they can be so without containing the multiple colours of a Christmas

QUEEN SHUBAD'S HEAD- DRESS.

AN INSPIRATION TO 1990 MILLINERS.

Ancient Chaldean headdresses are likely to serve as a model for Miss 1920's hats if the enterprising scheme of one West End shop proves popular.

"An exclusive Conduit Street milliners recently displayed the headdress of Queen Shubad who ruled in Ur of the Chaldees before the days of Abraham The head- dress is a copy of one of the finds of the combined British Museum and University of Pennsylvania expedition to Ur.

The display has raised the ques tion of the desirability of regular ly displaying the treasures of the Museum so that those who never find time to see them in their show- cases will have an opportunity to become acquainted in their daily round of business. It is suggested that if the authorities consider it unwise to loan the originals to responsible shopkeepers, careful copies such as the one of Queen Shubad's headdress would prove a drawing card to customers.
