Feeling like 10 men & a boy

"I would not be

-especially the boy”

"Formerly I regarded a nerve-food on a par with goloshes, flannel next the skin and dill-water.” Thus à contributor wrote in Golfing, 'June, 1926

Feeling cheap and nasty after a factor-accident, he was persuaded—as he protests-in a weak moment, to try Sanatogen.

"Since then," he writes, "I have felt relatively like ten men and a boy, especially the boy.".

Small wonder that he is enthusiastic and recommends Sanatogen. Sanatogen is a highly concentrated nerve-food, infusing into the very cells of blood and nerves those elements.--- phosphorus and albumin-from which they derive strength and vigour.

That is why Sanatogen must do you good, why it will conquer fatigue, renew the blood and revivify the whole nervous system.

LARGE HAUL OF OPIUM.

STRAITS MINER OHARGED.

Boni Kwok Lung, tin miner of Singapore was charged before Mr. R. E. Lindsell, at Central Magia. tracy yesterday with being in possession of 1.100 taels of prepared opium and 1,000 taels of raw opium. Mr. F. E. Nash for the defendant entered a plea of “not guilty" and asked for a week's remand. He mentioned that a sum of $300 found by the Police on the defendant had been kept in Polica custody. Mr. Nash added that the defendant urgently needed the money.

The Magistrate made an order for defendant to be paid the $300. The case will be beard on Monday next.

SEDITIOUS PAPERS.

A remaud for one week was grant ed by Mr. Lindsell at Central Magistracy in the case of a youth of nineteen, & clerk at the Nam Fat boarding house, 139, Connaught Road Central. Defendant was alleged to be in possession of seditious papers, when arrested at Happy Valley on Saturday last.

THE RETURN FROM THE LAND.

A good deal of speculation is going on in London just now as to whether or not we have reached. the saturation point for so-called luxury flats; that is, flats where the rent is anything from £500 to, discussions went on over two years £2,000 per year.

these blocks is probably well below The average rents for the flats in the thousand pounds mark, but it was only a short time ago that an other block was finished in Park- lane, where a first-door fist was rented at £5.400 per year. This was a very good flat, and so it ought to be for such a rent.

Yet the intercating thing is that this flat was let shortly after it was finished, and, in fact, with most of the other highly-reated West-Ead blocks, there does not seem to have been as much dificulty in fading tenants for them as was "antici-

A caution was registered yester day by Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith, at Kowloon Magistracy, on an elderly Chinese beggar who had made him-pated self a nuisance to bus passengers at Hunghom. The man, it was stated, annoyed the passengers who were getting in and out at one of the stopping places. The Police were asked by the Magistrate to see if the man could not be sent back to Macão where he had come from, and the matter is to be looked into.

The time is rapidly coming when there will have to be another great effort of co-operation, for the problems which your country has to face are greater than any single, party can solve, and the in- terests of the nation will have to come first."
