Celebrates 70th Birthday

DISTINGUISHED WAR CAREER

- CHINA MAIL – SPECIAL

Berlin, To-day. One of the foremost Germ army leaders of the world war, General von Sceckt, celebrated his T0th birthday yesterday in ex- cellent health He achieved uni-1 versal celebrity when, as Chief jof-Staff of the 11th German Corps under Field Marshal von Macken- sen. he organised the campaign against the Russians in Galicia in the spring of 1915, which resulted I the breaking of the Russian lines at the Battle of Gorlice.

WHEN SHE LOST 32 lbs. OF FAT

Her Figure Reappeared

You would hardly expect such a change in a woman of 40.

Eyes brighter-sidin fresher - brain clearer. And most remarkable of ail, she regained the graceful free-from-fat figure of her youth. What fairy godmother worked this transformation? Let her tell the story herself—

"Ten years ago when I was 30 years of age -- I put on weight

rapidly. previously only weighing about seven stone. I was alarmed to find I weighed about 12 stone. In desperation I tried Kraschen Salts, and discovered that by just taking the daily dose of Kraschen every morning I was losing weight My eyes became clearer and bright- er and my brain seemed much clearer, too in fact, I felt decid- edly a younger woman. I as: Dow 40 years of age, and my present weight is 9 st. 10 lb. My figure as of a whole has reappeared out what was unsightly superduous flesh."-- (Mrs.) K. U.
