The European quarter of Harbin to-day looks more like a city in Ja pan. The Russian population has dwindled from nearly 100,000 to one-fourth that number. The Ja- panese authorities say frankly they do not want Russians or any other foreigners in the city, which they declare is needed for exploitation by their own nationals. Ba they have given notice to all foreign business concerns that they must get rid of their Russian employees. In taking this action the Japanese authorities undoubtedly have in mind the possibility of war with Soviet Russia.

Feeling "Run Down?" ATTEMPTED

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 yus old ulf 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 lost energy quickly,"

Over 25,000 physicians are of the opinion that taking Sanat ogen is the eary 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 ita remarkable influence on your health and vitality.
