your body against

Feverish Diseases

The chance of catching malaria and other fever- ish diseases is far greater, if the power of resist ance is lowered. Lack of minerals in the body usually causes this lowering. Tiredness, heart troubles, irritability and dizziness are signs that your power of resistance is below par. Prevent serious trouble by taking Kalzana tablets regularly. Kalzana replenishes the mineral content of the body and blood cells in a perfectly natural way, strengthens the whole system, and so preventa serious infectious diseases, such as malaria, skin rashes, etc.

BIGGEST EMPIRE SHOW SINCE WEMBLEY

In Glasgow Next Year

Disappointment resulting from EVERY COUNTRY TAKING PART

the fallure of their proposed comp ing outing has led the students of the Tung Hu Middle School, which is situated near to the Wuhan University on the East Lake in Wuchang, to quit their classes and to vacate the school entirely, writes a Shanghai correspondent,

It has become a custom that during fine week-ends for the boy- scout students to camp out on the adjacent hills and last week it was suggested that the girl-guides from the same school should participate In the outing

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT' The head of the scouts and girl- guides, a Mr. Yang Hung-teh, was approached on the subject and upon receiving the consent of the school authorities, arranged with Miss Wet Wan, who is in charge of the girls department, "to pro vide the necessary lady teachers to accompany them. The youngs- ters evidently looked forward to the combined outing with à certain amount of glee and were naturally very disappointed on Friday even- ing when the time arrived for the hike to

commence at the non- appearance of either Miss Wet or the other ladies who were to ac- company the girl-guides. All day Saturday was spent in brooding over their wrongs and on Sunday the students held a meeting, the result of which was that none of them-neither boys

girls- nor turned up to class on Monday

From May to October next year Glasgow is to be the scene of an Empire Exhibition, the biggest held anywhere in the world since the-famous British Empire Exhibitions at Wembley in 1924 and 1925. All Scotland is behind the Exhibition. The Home Gov- ernment are taking part, and the Dominions and Colenles will be represented.

Here and now Scotland offers a warm welcome to the world to visit her in 1938.

The Exhibition is to be held in Bellahouston Park, one of the most beautiful parks in the country, a park. pre-eminently suited. in the opinion of all who have seen it, to the holding of an exhibition of the size and importance of next year's Empire Exhibition worthy of its setting. The warm co-operation of all departments of the City of Glas- gow has been secured, and the ful- lest possible use will be made by the architect of the Park's many amenities. It has an area of over 150 acres, and lies within three miles of the centre of Glasgow.

MASTERS "IMPRISONED" This angered the whole body of students who promptly besieged the head-master's quarters and re- fused to allow him and the rest of the teachers to leave the build-long list of donations.

The Directors of the School went with a number of University coolles to assist the teachers to evacuate whereupon the students attacked the rescuers with stones. etc. and, for a time, there was quite a miniature battle in which, fortunately, nothing more than a few cuts and bruises were sustain. ed on either side.

The school authorities sent out notices to all parents to take their children away temporarily until the matter was settled but the stu- dents. hearing of this, decided not to wait to be fetched and, the next morning four out of the six elesses cleared out on their own account to be followed in the afternoon by the remainder.

A meeting of the directors is to be held to decide on what action

The Exhibition is not being run for pront, Eut Glasgow has tradition of making its exhibitions pay. In living memory-and me- mories are long in Scotland-no single exhibition has failed to pay. The organisers of the Empire Exhibition, Scotland-1938. are de- termined to see that it shall be no exception to the rule.

The British Government have already announced their decisión to take part oficially in the Exhibition and invitations to participate have been extended to the Governments of the Dominions, India, and the Cold- nies.
