“You seem less tired nowadays!”?

Yes, I'm taking SANATOGEN

The rejuvenating and strengthening effect of Sanatogen can soon be observed: Your fatigue will dis- appear, you will look younger and feel better. With Sanatogen you will soon enjoy life again to the full; and what seemed to be difficult before will become easy,

"Sanatogen has improved my nerves, digestion and sleep and has revitalised me generally. There is no tonic in the world that comes within miles of it".

writes Mr. W. E., an enthusiastic Sanatogen user from Johannesburg, S.A.

Try Sanatogen yourself. Every chemist sells it. But begin your course to-day.

They may not eat anything be- authorities. The pedlars admitted- yond the filthy scraps they find iniy are prevailingly Korean, as any alley-way ash-bins, but they will almost unfailingly apend their miserably solicited coppers on dope. Already afflicted with organic dis- ease, it often means the end of their abject existerice.

The last few months have seen- a vigorous campaign in the Inter- national Settlement to cope with the evil of beggar addicts and the persons who supply their demand for narcotics. It has produced victory for the authorities con- cerned, although undoubtedly the traffic is now continuing, on a les-
