Kalzana is a remark- able food containing no drugs whatsoever.

In hot countries one's diet and the extent to which one perspires tend to decrease the mineral contents of the body. Many complaints such as irritability, high blood pressure, dizziness, acidity, which are so often ascribed to

to this loss of minerals.

When you do not feel as well as you should, start taking Kalzana tablets. They will soon put you

LONDON, Aug. 5 (BWS)-Air Vice-Marshal Sholto Douglas made some interesting statements on air defence in an address to cadets in camp in Susser to-day. He said: We are making colossal prepara- tions for fear of an attack in force by German dombers.

On their side the Germana are being deterred from further ad- ventures by the knowledge that if they hit us we shall hit them and very hard too.

HEAVY BOMBERS rights to Marseilles the range We have shown by our recent

which our heavy bombers possess. There is always a better even than very good, and we have got some thing much better than the Wellington bomber just up sleeve.

ΟΙΣΤ

You have also seen something of our fighter organisation.

We are confident that this organisation is now capable of preventing this country from being attacked from the air. Of course we do not pretend we will be able to prevent every bomber that puts out to attack this country from reaching its objective.

CASUALTY RATE

In fact, it is probable that a fairly high proportion will get. through particularly when wea- ther conditions are favourable to the bomber.

The object. however, of the fighter organisation is not, as it were, to put an impenetrable bar- rier, between the enemy bomber and Ite target. This is impossible of attainment.

The object is to cause 50 heavy a casualty rate to enemy bombing forces that they will be compelled to restrict the scale of their attack on account. of heavy casualties and the difficulty of replacing those casualties.

18 WELLINGTON BOMBERS FOR NEW ZEALAND LONDON, July 10 (By Air „Mail) — Eighteen Weslington bombers are being flown to New Zealand by New Zealand pilots in the R. A. F. and if the petrol consumption of their 885-h.p. engines shows that a 10,0000-mile non-stop flight is feasible, one or two more Wellingtons will be prepared for an England-Australla hop.
