'Really! Sanatogen will make you Strong & Vigorous again'

"YOU have made too great demands of yourself, but Sanatogen will soon put that right. It contains the very secret of strength and health. Take it regularly for a few weeks, then you will soon feel healthy and happy again."

Remember that every physician the whole world over knows the remarkable results obtained by Sanatogen, and Sanatogen is regularly prescribed by them.

The famous medical paper, ‘The Lancet,' writes: "There is abundant evidence of the value of Sanatogen as a restorative and food, and more particularly in cases of general debility.”

Every chemist sells Sanatogen. Go to-day and get a package. Then you will soon feel stronger than ever before.

IMMEDIATE START

ON 1936 NAVY PROGRAMME

FIRST CONTRACT OF 175.000-TON ORDERS

BY HECTOR C. BYWATER

London, July 23. The admiralty announced last night that subject to the settle- ment of certain points of detall, it had been decided to entrust the construction of the patrol aub- marine of the 1938 programme to Canımell Laird and Co. Ltd.. Bir- kenhead. This is the first of a large number of contracts for res- sels of the 1936 programme, with an aggregate of about 175,000 tons.

As the first part of the program - me was announced in April, and the second part during the present month, it is clear that the new ships are to be laid down with the least possible delay. The placing of contracts so soon after authort- sation is unprecedented.

His aying boats, however, would "ta down Southampton Water, or be towed out to areas suitable accord- ing to conditions of tide and wind. Cherbourg will undoubtedly develop as an air port, while on the other side of the Atlantic there is a project for constructing a great airport of Brooklyn: a big land field, and a seaplane basin adjoining it with a subway to New York City. At San Francisco Pan- American Airways are making a seaplane basin close to the land aerodrome,

NO LABOUR SHORTAGE The industry is fully capable of undertaking the new naval pro- Tamme, and no serions shortage of skilled labour is anticipated. It is pointed out that, although ship- building is distinctly reviving, the yards at present have only about half as much mercantile work in hand as they had seven years ago. In addition to Admiralty work, a number of big mercantile contracts are expected. The Cunard-White Star will shortly order "two liners of about 30,000 tons each, and the Canadian Pacific is understood t be planning three new liners of 22,000, tons
