COLONIES VITAL TO GERMANY
"A Land Without Raw Materials"
FORMER GOVERNOR'S APPEAL:
Berlin, Apr. 24.
Dr. Schnee, president of the Ger- man Colon al Society, and former Governor of German East Africa. declared in an address here that there could be no future for Ger- many unless she recovered her colonial possessions. She was over- popilated, and lacked raw mater- ials.
11
No action, he claimed, could be more calculated to bring about good understanding and friendly co-operation between the nations than the restoration of these tormer colonies.
"It is an accepted fact that Europe needs Africa to supply her material requirements; " he continued. "The nations are how- ever. very differently situated" as to access to these materia& Sir Samuel Hoare has classed them into categories, the 'Have's and the Fave not.

There was no doubt that the fox- mer German colonies 'could now produce a very considerable pro- portion of Germany's raw mate- rials.
It has been the bellef through- out the Service that compensation is paid in the case of death or disablement, on flying duty in peace time, and that this applies to rehef from death 'duties. It is regarded as undesirable that a distinction "should be drawn be- tween short-term officers and members of the Auxiliary Air
Force from other grades of the Service.
I heard the opinion expressed yesterday that it is unsatisfactory that in cases of accident to short- term officers or members of the Auxiliary Air Force the Treasury should dec.de whether compensa- Bon or rellef is to be given or withheld,

unpleasant, and incur cost:
"It should be remembered that poverty does not always manifest itself or declare itself. There ought to be a fixed scale pald. im mediately in all cases."
There is no doubt that the am- biguity brought to light in the case of Viscount Knebworth has occasioned disquiet and will have an adverse effect on recruiting.

That is what many a woman thinks, who feels her youth disappearing long before she is old in years. It is a "sign of a lack of minerals in her body, showing itself in many minor symptoms., What has happened is this--The sap has been drained from the tree, the strength and suppleness are gone, she suddenly finds herself easily fatigued- nothing is done, serious growing old.
illness may follow.
As in all hot countries the lack of minerals is especially widespread. Do not delay in giving your body the vital minerals it needs. Start with Kalzana to-day.. Kalzana will put youth and strength into your body, for minerals are the backbone of health and Kalzana the ideal,
mineral food.
Be a woman warned and act while there is still time. Do not wait till the flesh is flabby and headaches and anemia have taken all the youth out of you.
Remember that these troubles of premature old age are simply due to the fact that some- thing is missing in your body, something that can be replaced easily by a few Kalzana tablets a day.
Start taking Kalzana to-day and soon you will enjoy health and vitality again.
