COLLECTOR STILL A BUYER AT 73

London. April 8..

At the age of 73, a year after parting with his unique collection of Chinese art, Mr. George Eumor- Kopoulos is still buying fresh trea-

sures, writes a correspondent.

The collection, acquired for the Dation at the nominal price of £100,000, is to be exhibited for the first time next week-end at the Victoria and Albert Museum...

Meanwhile, Mr. Eumorfopoulos has not stopped adding to the rem- nants of it which he retains in his own museum-kke home on Chelsea Embankment.

"Every now and then I bear of an interesting plece, and buy it," he said to me when I called on him

London, April 9.

Edinburgh councillors and citi-

"They have just heard their city being called the dirtiest in the world.

The opinion was expressed by Mr. Eric Linklater, the Scottish novelist, when opening a cake, candy, and work sale in the Capl- tal in and of the Scottish National party and the Edinburgh National- 1sts Club.

Mr. Linklater, who recalled that he had recently "circumnavigated the globe," said that a possible re- form had occurred to him as the walked the streets of Edinburgh after his return.

He was very, very proud of Edin- burgh; but in his circunt of the globe he had decided that Edin- burgh was the dirtiest city in the world with one exception.

That exception was the city of

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 and 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 Sanatogen-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 nerves, and with Sanatogen you replace the last energy quickly.”

Over 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 wells it. Start taking it now, then you will soon notice its remarkable influence on your health and vitality.
