PRESIDENT DEAD
Billy Pickford, Man Of
Many Reforms
Seventy-seven-year-old, scid-tongued, dapper Elly Pickford, pre- dent of the Football Association, died last month in Bournemouth and left a huge gap in the football fabric of Great Britain. Although he served only fifteen months as president, he had been a Soccer chiel for the best part of Bfty-two years, and a Soccer chief who lashed out at anything he didn't like, writes a Home correspondent. Billy Pickford was a popular man personally; but some of the things he had to say about the game could be embarrassingly point- ed I have been at functions with him, and I have seen them wince when he got around to his point...

Kalzana is a remark- able food containing
no drugs whatsoever.
In hot countries one's diet and the extent to which one perspires tend to decrease the mineral contents of the body. Many complaints such as irritability, high blood pressure, dizziness, acidity, which are so often ascribed to ** the climate are due largely to this loss of minerals.
When you do not feel as well as you should, start taking Kalzana tablets. They will soon put you
right.
