"QUEEN HIGH."

be invisible from the street. A heavy white string runs from the lower front of the "kite" to a building across the street or to some hidden roff spot below the "kite." The idea is to create the illusion of a flying kite.

The lettering must be plain Jenough to be seen from the street: Another way to make use of a

Should Women dread the approach of a perfectly. natural event?

NATURE

never intended you to suffer Why is it then that so many thousands of women experience such pain and weakness ?

Simply because the body lacks calcium,

That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calcium is the vital food of every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily func- tions, particularly those of women.

The use of KALZANA, the calcium-food, for a few weeks provides the whole system with all the calciuin (lime) needed to establish that care-free, vigorous health that Nature intended you to enjoy.

But it must be Kalzana, as only in this scientific form (a combination of sodium- lactate and calcium-lactate) will the calcium be taken up and retained by your body, Lose dread-re-establish the functions
