"SANATOGEN will soon put him right again”

Physicians know by experience, how quickly and surely Sapatogen will build up strength in debilitated patients.

Whatever the cause of the weakness, be it illness, overwork or worry, Sanatogen cannot fail to do good. The phosphorus it contains is pure strength to the weakened nerve-cells. The albumin is nature's own building material of bodily power. It is the intricate com- bination of these two elements that has won Sanatogen the written recommendations of over 25,000 physicians. And the splendid part of it is that Sanatogen is not only true tonic-food, but also very easily digestible, so that the weakest patient, and the weakest stomach, can digest is

At that meeting it was decided tď:-

Re-affirm the decision to adhere to all the "obligations under our treaties and under the Covenant of the League.

I understand on the latter point that unless the Italian Govern- ment adopts a more reasonable attitude. 4 committee of the Cabinet and Sir Samuel Hoare have been given authority to grant amited licences for the export of munitions.

The door is..still left open for negotiations for peace between Britain and France on the one band and Italy on the other.

The atmosphere in omefal circles may be described as one ofTe · strained "optimism

MAY CHANGE HER VİEW It is believed that the genera view held by the majority of the Cabinet is that it Britain and France work together li cluse unity they may. without having to resort to the imposition of sand- tions force the Italian Govern meat to adopt a more pacing point of view.

One thing is certain. Even t the League should decide to im- pose sanctions (and this can only be done after an act of aggression has been committed) Britain will not assume responsibility, for being alone in endeavouring la enforte them:

It is of some significance that the Cabinet will not meet again before the meeting of the League | Council on September 4 which is tu consider the threat of war. Most of the Ministers, other than those forming the skeleton Cabinet, are interrupted returning to" their holidays.
