For irritable Children

writes a well-known specialist.
In the "Strand Magazine" of March 1933, the well-known food expert, Miss Kathleen Dane, writes:
Many children of the irritable, nervous type, owe their state to a deficiency of organic salts, particularly calcium, notwithstanding the fact that the dietary appears to be properly balanced. Such youngsters do well when the diet is reinforced by a well-retained mineral food, such as Kalzana, which medical men all over the country are now recommending." Your quickly-growing child needs extra calcium to help the formation of straight bones, healthy teeth, and a strong constitution. Start your boy or girl on a course of Kalzana-you will be surprised at the all-around improve- ment Kalzana effects. Irritability disappears, appetite returns and soon the formerly "difficult "child will be a happy, healthy youngster again.

THE SHIPPING CRISIS
British Lines Hard Pressed
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, Sept 18- Britain's sonre r the world's shipping has been shrinking for many years. It will be further reduced very tragically unless it is enabled to meet its competitors on
equal terms. British shin- owners have in the past been champions of the view that trade questions should be left to settle themselves without Government interference. They have pald heavily for an obstinate attach- men. to that dogma. There can be few of them who do not recog- nise to-day. with the chairman of the P, and O, that laissez-taire and suicide are the same thing.
Mr. Shaw gave several examples on Friday of the way in which foreign monopoly and subsidy are driving our mercantile flag from the seas. Nations which reserve their coastal, trade strictly for their own craft send their ship- ping to forage freight upon Bri- lsh routes with their cost of la- bour and maintenance provided from the pub.lc qurse. It is not an unduly expensive course, COR- sidering its actual and prospective gains. These Powers realise that the prestige attaching to the post- tion of world-carriers has a value of its own, and if they force their British rivals out of business they will have profit.as weil That last stage is in sight in the Packc Ocean more particularly.

Mr. Runciman admitted a year ngo, on the Government's behalf, that our shipowners were entitled to assistance against unfair com- petition. He announced. a modest scheme for the succour of tramp shipping, which bay been short a time in operation to Judge of its results. For the rest, he mentioned as possib.e remedies "the reservation of inter-Imperial trade the preferential treatment of British ships or cargoes car- red by British ships in Empire ports, differential duties against Icreign ships which have the be- n fit
