The Ministry of Industry and Commerce. M. Manolescu Strunga, handed in his resigna- tion yesterday. The reason given for this step was disapproval of

he Government's newly intro- duced foreign trade policy, bas- ed on a 44 per cent. export pre- mium.

The resignation occurs at a diffi- cult moment for the Titulescu Cabinet. since yesterday the -in-| stalment of half a milliard. lei was; due to be remitted to Paris for the redemption of coupons for bond- holders. In consequence of a shortage of foreign currency this sum cannot be transferred; and the Under-Secretary of State, M. Pata- lescu, is now engaged in negotia- tions with Paris with the object of coming to some other arrangement with the bondholders.

Reports received here from Paris; indicate that the negotiations are proving extremely difficult and it is feared in political circles

For irritable Children

#I have examina- ed many so- called difficult and cross chil- dren and could prove that in most instances the children suf- fered from lack of calcium the body.

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. Sach 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 strong constitution. Start your boy or girl on a course of Kalzana-you will be surprised at the all-around improve ment Kalzana effects. Initability disappesta, appetite returns and soon the formerly difficult child, will be a happy, healthy youngster again.
