It differs from the scheme for the raising of the R.A.F. Volunteer Reserve, which was announced by Viscount Swinton, Minister for ALF, in the House of Lords on July 30. The latter scheme provides less intensive training, under condi- tions which will permit the entry of 800 candidates a year without interruption of their civil occupa-

tions:

Selected candidates under the new one-year training scheme will be appointed to commissions in Class A of the Reserve of Air Force Officers for a period of five years' service. In addition to attending the initial 12 months' training, they will be liable to attend for not more than 24 days' annuak train-. ing in subsequent years. They will receive a retalning fee of £25 a year for each year after the first.

Some time ago I was always feeling tired. I grew very weak and gor no pleasure our of life. Then a friend advised me to take Sanatogen "and look at me now! I am fit and vigorous again and feel thoroughly happy.

That world-famous Medical Paper, "The Lancet," writes about the strengthening influence of Sanatogen: "There is abundant evidence the value of Saratogen as a restorative and food, and more particularly in cases of general, debility.”

When you do not feel so well, start taking Sanatogen. Every chemist sells it and Sanatogen will soon make ou thoroughly strong and healthy again, full of youthful vitality.
