Feeling "Run Down?"

Just suppose that right now you were talking to a physician.

YOU would have to confess to him that somehow you seem to tire very quickly nowadays; that your energy is gone and that now and then you feel jumpy and

irritated.

"My dear man!" he would no doubt say, "look at the symptoms logically. Yours is a clear case of strained nerves. We need not go into how you got that way. The climate, hard an, nervous work, late nights, they can all be to blame-but you want to know how to become your old self again. Why not start taking Saratogen-it's really great stuff! It's made just for people like you, and I know from long experience that it will do you a lot of good. You have asked too much from your menues, and with Sanatogen you replace the lost energy quickly."

Över 25,000 physicians are of the opinion that taking Sanat-" ogen is the easy and logical way back to real health and vitality. Why not give Sanatogen a

trial? Every chemist sells It Start taking it now, then you will soon notice its remarkable influence on your health and vitality.

Imitation of British designs has led manufacturers to produce types which cannot readily be copied in cheaper materials. This is a fea- ture of the best grades of striped shirtings on view at the Textile Exhibition. fabrics, silk cot- ten, rayon and wool, are sponsored; while the finish of locknit shirts has been much Improved. Light blues and grays are much in evidence. One well-known London house is backing grays with stripes of wire, royal and green.

NEW IN FLANNELS

In the men's wear section there is a wide range of prices, but a stress on quality is expected, in view of the steady Improvement in trade and increased incomes, Novelty is to be achieved in the best cloths less by vivid effects and freakish designs than by small. neat patterns indicating quality, After some hesitation manufac- turers of flannels expect a call not, only for stripes, but checks and small figures. Many people have wondered why flannels should al- ways be plain,

Men's Immitted wear is well to the fore. In some ranges plain and novelty yarns combined produce feck and snarl effects. In spring socks, for once in a way, green is promipent; in golf hose novelty effects take the place of set pat- terns. Accessories include braces to match shirts, made to prevent
