So it came about that in 1997, with the will ing co-operation of the Marconi Copany and their staff, a short wave transmitter, called GSW, wa, set up at Chelmsford.

This scheme was submitted to the Colonial Office in 1929, and in 1930 it was brought before the Colonial Conference and the Imperial Con ference.

functions. Any lack of calcium results in pain and prostration, but these are quickly relieved as soon as the shortage is made good." By taking" Kalzana, the scientifically approved calcium treatment, you can avoid pain and discomfort. By restoring the balance of calcium in a natural way, Kalzana must do you good, and cannot possibly be harmful.

"Whenever there is evidence of disfunc

tion in the body, lack of Calcium is

probably a contribu- ting factor," "Weltes Dr. H.F., B.W London.

Before Baby comes

The expectant mother should be careful to remember that she must supply all the calcium needed to form her baby's bones and tissues. Kalzana gives all the extra calcium needed, and cor- rects any shortage in the mother's diet. It protects the mother against use of hair, decay of the teeth, vomiting, general. weakness and debility,“ whilst it also ensures her baby against any pre- disposition to rickets.

Preserve your own health, and safe- guard your baby's by taking Kalzana in good time.

(Use it during the last, six months of your preg nancy).

Note

Remember that your teeth are living parts of your body. The food they require is Kalzana, the calcium food. If your teeth get too little calcium, they be- come weak and liable to decay.

Such teeth are a constant cause of pain and trouble and never look healthy,

Start taking Kalzana and notice how quickly your teeth become strong and white. By taking Kalzana, pain and trouble are prevented, decay is ar rested and your teeth permanently
