ViqOr OF Youth I'm
A New Discovery
to Famous Gland Treatment-Maeic
Power of Bark From Africa.

Have you lost your youth, vigor and
pep? Does life seem dull and work
grind? Don't worry Science has
discovered a new vitalizer superior
even to the much discussed goat
gland" and monkey gland treat
ment.
The principal ingredient is an eX.
tract from the bark of an African tree
1t is said to be the most amazing in.
vigorator ever discovered. Combined
with it are other tonic and yitalizing
elements of proved merit. In most
cases, the compound produces marked
Improvement in day or two. and in
short time the vitality is raised, the
circulation improved and the glow of
health is felt in every part.
The new vitalizer contains eXpen'
sive chemicals, but manufacturing in
enormous quantities has brought the
cost within reach of all Furthermore,
the laboratories producing the new
vitalizer, which is called Re.NuTabs,
are so confident of its power that they
offer 1t on the basis of mo results, no
pay"
Any reader of this paper may test
the new discovery without risk. Send
no money but just your name and al
dress, to the Re-Nu Laboratories,
206-L Gateway Station. Kansas City
Mo. and a full treatment of ReNu-
Tabs will be mailed. Deposit 81 and
postage with the postman on delivery.
If not delighted nv tho roc,,lts at the
end of a week, notify the laboratories
and your money will be refunded in
full. DO not hesitate about accepting
this test Offer as it is fully guaran-
teed,

For he armies of the powers,
known figures and carefully calculat.
ed estimates can be present The
authorized regular army strength
stands approximately as follows:
British empire, 562 $500; Japan, 302,-
600 ESTIMATED as with the colors in

600 native troops in north Africa and
10000 native troops in the colonies;
italy, 100000; United States. $4,000
authorized and including 1900 Phil
ippine scouts).
Armies Vary Widely.
The army reserve systems of the
powers vary widely. In the British
empire the volunteer system largely
prevails, although there is Compul-
sorry military training among some of
he dominions, including Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, and
modified conscription in Egypt and
Sudan, The United States has only
voluntary liability for military serv-
ice, while France, Italy and Japan
employ systems Of conscription
Trained reserves available under
these systems are estimated as fol-
lows; British empire. 1925; ia
pan, l.74S,0O les imated); France,
4.420.000. including territOltals; TT
ally, 4,627000; United States, $4,000
INCLUDING national guards and Off
GERS reserve corps).
Anent the sAir.
There is a rather striking disparity
in figures as to the permanent avia-
ton strength, including both army
and navy air forces, maintained by
the powers. The British royal air
force includes a PERSONAL of about
$4,000, and there are some additional
units among the dominions and col
onies; the air force Of the United
