BANISH

When your children suddenly seem to stop growing in strength though they're growing in aize, won't eat, get attacks of temper and naughtiness, you can be quite certain that it is a lack of certain vital minerals in their systems that is causing the trouble. Growing children rapidly use up their store of vital minerals and if that store is not replenished, weakness, irritability and a definite check in development occur. But mineral-deficiency is a condition that is quickly and easily banished if

you give your children Kalzana.

When they get all the minerals they need from Kalzana, you'll see a wonderful difference. Vitality and appetite will return. Your children will keep strong while growing fast, with firm bones, strong teeth protected against decay, and a store of health to resist infection. Give them Kalzana without delay.

Britain are together because in the nature of things they stand for the maintenance of standards |which, with some of the smaller nations in Europe and with the United States in America, they have built up. The entente, therefore, is based upon that in- ner necessity which Mr. Cham- berlain stressed-upon geogra- phy, history, and national char-

Many Italian children will no doubt have heard with relief the recent announcement that Mickey Mouse, or Topolino, as he is known to them, is after all to be allowed entrance into Italy.
