BANISH
When your children suddenly seem to stop growing in strength though they're growing in size, won't eat, get. attacks of temper and naughtiness, you can be quite certain that it is a lack of certain vital minerals in their systems that is causing the trouble. Growing children rapidly use up their store of vital minerals and if that store is not replenished, weakness, irritability and a definite check in development -occur, But mineral-deficiency is a condition that is quickly and easily banished if you give your children Kalzana.
When they get all the minerals they need from Kalzana, you'll see a wonderful difference. Vitality and appetite will return. Your children will keep strong while growing fast,' with firm bones, strong teeth protected against decay, and a store of health to resist infection. Give them Kalzana without delay,

Lord Duf- ferin and Ava, the Under Secre- tary for the Colonies, the third of Mr. Hore-Belisha's critics, also will not resign. Mr. Chamber- lain is thus forced to resolve the conflict one way or the other. There is just one condition, how- ever, on which he might escape this necessity. Having failed in Rome the outlook in Europe may seem so forbidding that Mr. Chamberlain may re-form his Government, broaden its base, bring back Mr. Eden, and re- distribute many posts.
