BANISH THE CAUSE

Feminine Complaints Anæmia Irritable

Nerves are caused by lack of

minerals

Don't envy those women who take their difficult days' in their stride. Be like them. Banish the cause of your suffering instead of just re- lieving it. Just think of being pain- free. Fit to work. Able to enjoy playing games. You can banish periodical pain because the cause of it has been discovered-and that cause can be banished if you take ̈ ̈ Kalzana.

You suffer pain and discomfort because you lack certain vital minerals in your body. Without the right amount of these minerals your blood becomes weak and your system can't work properly. But Kalzana gives you all the vital minerals you need, in a pleasant and easy-to-take way. When you take Kalzana, you im-. prove the condition of your blood and as the blood becomes more healthy, so your system functions normally and causes you no pain. Suffer no longer-get Kalzana to-day. Kalzana is widely prescribed for anæmia, weak children, etc., so don't feel embarrassed by asking for it.

Essie had met Katie two summers ago when she drove west, with the Savarons.

"Let's fix up a date for her with Frank Damien.". Her eyes gleamed. "Oh, I can just see Frank when he finds out what a country girl she is.".

Everyone knew that Essie was sore because Frank had jilted her less than a month ago. but still we thought it a good idea. Frank was too sophis- ticated, too bored with life and people and things. His face wore a perman- ent cynical smile. He was contemp tuous of our efforts to get a bang out of life. His women had to be smart and sleek and languid or he wouldn't bother with them.

Essie Brent made it happen. Sabina had been on tenterhooks waiting for Frank to discover that Katie, was really a country girl. Watching them, Essie probably saw things that WO of that week she asked Katie to go didn't see. At any rate, on Friday to lunch with her, and she told her the truth of the matter. She told her that Frank thought she was really a smart little lady with a line who had her hooks out for him.

Katie drank it all in wide-eyed, and presently it dawned on her that Essie a word, but got up and went home was telling the truth? She didn't say and packed her things. She was gone when Sabina returned from a theatre engagement.
