WHEN THE PREMIER RESIGNS
(Special Air Mail Service)
London, May 29.
It has been found that not only back-bench M.P.S. but some Ministers are uncertain about the procedure to be followed when the Government is reorganised.
Some Ministers expect to receive a formal request for their resigna- tions before Mr. MacDonald," the Prime Minister; hands his resigna- tion to the King This, will not be the procedure.
Mr. MacDonald will be resigning as an individual Minister, on per- sonal grounds urconnected with Government policy.
Minters Resignations When he is received by the King he will tender only his own resignation
The King may then ask Mr. MacDonald's advice as to whom he should send for, and in due course Mr. Baldwin will be "sum- moned to the Palace.

These are indeed superb. The ex- hibition contained a number which deserve more than passing com- ment. Greatly as the Chinese patiter depends upon perfection of stroke, he is also master of the use of washes, as is well illustrated in a landscape by the Ming artist, Tail Chin, showing towering crags above, and below trees and reeds all bending before a, driving wind with sheets of rain blotting out the intervening scenery.

Among the examples of bird and animal painting is one of a nom- ber of deer (wapiti) amid autumn- tinted trees, attributed to an un- known artist of the rive Dynasties period which immediately follow- ed the Tang; and another.depict- ing two water-buffaloes with small boys on their backs hurrying home in the rain, by Li zi ôf the Sung period, -Others, again, show phea- sants, wild geese, quails, bulbuls magpies ar hawinches la various settings with trees, shrubs, flowers. bird painting is of a flock of plect or cereals, One particularly fine Jackdaws (not magpies as stated in the catalogue) roosting in a tree with several geese (not swans) resting underneath. This is by Kuo Tien of the "Yuan period. Perhaps the most delightful plant pictures are those of bamboos and rocks. a favourite subject with Chinese painters, and one at which they excel.

One thing about all the paintings must strike the observer, and that is their lack of colour compared with the work of Western artists. This is not entirely due to the ravage of time; for, as a matter of fact, colour is not and never has been a very marked feature in the paintings of the Chinese, Indeed. many of their best pictures have no colours at all

thousands of women experience such pain and weakness. Simply because there is a shortage of estat minerals in the body.
That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calcium is the vital food of every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily functions, particularly those of women.
The use of Kalzana, the mineral food, for a few weeks provides the whole system with the indispensable minerals needed to establish that care-free, vigorous health that Nature "intended you to enjoy.
But it must be Kalzana, as only in this scientific form (a combination of sodium- lactate and calcium-lactate) will the minera salts be taken up and retained by your body. Lose your dread-re-establish the functions on a normal basis by starting a course of Kälzane to-day.
