A

INTERNATIONAL

WHEAT CONFERENCE

LONDON, TO-DAY.

THE PROPOSAL

TO HOLD AN INTERNATIONAL WHEAT CONFERENCE, WITH WHICH

IS

LINKED THE PROSPECT OF AN INTERNATIONAL WHEAT SCHEME, IS UNDER- STOOD TO HAVE MET WITH GENERAL FAVOUR AT YES- TERDAY AFTERNOON'S MEETING OF THE INTERNA- TIONAL WHEAT ADVISORY COMMITTEE,

It is expected that statements on behalf of the various governments on the subject will be completed this morning when the Committee meets again.

A memorandum which is under- stood to have been prominent in the discussion is stated to suggest that the minimum period of the agreement be five years.

The report of the secretariat, is- sued yesterday, points out that while it is too early to forecast the, area sown in wheat for harvest in 1939, it may be confidently pre- dicted that the area will be

very considerably smaller than in 1938. --Reuter.

"I have been taking Kruschen Salts for three months, and am still taking the daily dose. When I started, I had rheumatism in both knees. They were very swollen--just like puddings. I could not rise from a chair without assistance, I could not kneel, and go upstairs was agony. Now I can run upstairs and kneel as much as I like. My age is 87, I am 5 ft. 10 ins., in height, and weigh 18 stone, ВО you might guess my legs have a weight to carry. I have just bought another bottle of Kruschen. Since I have taken it, I can work like a horse,”—(Mrs.) H.S.
