Kalzana

the building material

· of all body-cells

"I give Kalzana to my wife during pregnancy and wy small son is certainly a most excellent specimen of humanity, My wife still takes Kalzana occasionally so that the breast milk may supply a full quariene of cricior to the child.***

Calcium is life itself to body cells, for without it the cells die, and even a slight shottage is nowadays recognised as the underlying cause of many common ailments.

In nursing mothers there is a heavy loss of calcium by the bones and tissues, and any deficiency is quickly shown by decay of teeth, lactational headaches and general weakness. The baby, too, is under-developed, with weak bones and delayed dentition. Kalzana is a potent means of restoring normal calcium meta- bolism in nursing mothers. It quickly dispels weakness, debility and irritability, and prevents loss of teeth. At the same time it ensures strong bones, sound teeth and a robust constitution to the child. Invaluable in delayed and painful densition.

Start Kalram to-day and make sure that your baby will be strong and sturdy.

At Beauvais, south of Amiens, and, unlike Doullens; known the world over for its scoring Gothic, another inscrip tion records the appointment of Foch, but on a different date. Engraved on marble tablet within the Town Hall, this inscription is longer and more cat spicuous:-

Le 3 avril 1016 les Représentants des Gouvernements Américan, Britannique et François, Général Bliss, Mr. Lloyd George et Mr. Clemenceau, art, dans cet Hôtel de Ville, confé, au Général Foch le commandement supréme des Armes Alliées.

First, Milner saw the British soldiers by themselves: Haig with his Army Com- manders (Byng, Horne, and Plumer) and afterwards Haig alone. The latter, not unnaturally, was ready enough to work with Foch instead of Pétain. Then they jained the Frenchmen. The confer ence, with Poincaré presiding, agreed that Amiens must be held. But how? Haig had already "skinned "his linel north of Arras. He could do no more. What could the French do Pétain had more divisions to spare to-day than yes- terday. Foch kept silent; but Milner,
