Kruschen Salts consist of several
important mineral salts blended
carefully in exactly the right propor-
tions. These salts are Highly reed
and their quality is the highest
obtainable anywhere in the world.
Maybe we sacrifice something by
giving you the pure mineral salts
'without adding any flavouring in-
gredients, but we believe you prefer
to have your medicine concentrated
in small, compact and easily absorb-
ed doses. That's why you only need
take enough Kruschen to cover a
dime. It's the economical way of
taking salts, too.
Another thing to remember about
Kruschen-it doesn't achieve its
result bet irritating or inflaming the
coign. It attracts to the colon the
moisture which is absolutely essen-
tial if you wish to avoid constipation
and achieve easy evacuation. You
can get Kruschen from all druggists,

and as such plays. a 'leading role in
the vast Comanonwealth Air Training
Plan. It has been his responsibility
to plan and .organize the- Schools
where fliers are turned our capable of
delivering the goods in the Battle of
Britain.
Johnson talks of the war and the
Air Force calmly and clearly, making
his job both understandable and in-
teresting to the layman, reflecting his
early training and experiences as a
teacher in the schools of Didsbury,
Odds and Edmonton, in Alberta.
Johnson was!' born in Woodstock,
Ontario, and after going through the
public schools there headed west to
Alberta Normal School in Calgary to
finish his training. He not only had
a hand in the inception of technical
training in Canadian schools, but al-
so in the organization of cadet train-
ing, sei-v'ing as an officer in the
Corps School of Cadet Instructors in
Alberta.
For World War one, Johnson sign-

vice, started to fly with the Royal
Flying Corps in ,England in April,
1917, went into active service in
France in September with 20 hours
flying experience. Throughout his
time in France lie was on offensive
patrol work, charged with keeping the
Huns out of .the air to make -it safe
for Allied reconnaissance planes. His
services won for him the Military
Cross^ and the Croix de Guerre. Dur-
ing the last six nnontbs of the war
he was attached to a,,training centre
in Cheshire, England. In June of
1919 he returned to Canada with a
collection of "war trophy" German
planes which he delivered to the Do-
minion' Archives.
With trhe founding; of the Royal
Canadian Air Force in: 1920, Johnson
re -opened 'Camp Borden as Station
Superintendent. He has stayed •with
the Air Force ever since, never doubt-
ing for a moment that it would be
needed again as it is today. Among
his ''many posts he held command of
the R.C.A.F. in the Northwest. went
over to England to Staff College at
Andover. served as Assistant. Direc-:
for of Civil Air Operations under
Lindsay Gordon, and, then, in the at-
mosphere of peace and retrenchment,
experienced the "employment of 'the
Air Force in every part of Canada,
assisting the Civil Department of the
Government Service. Customs pre-
ventive work, mapping, dusting the
fprests.. for disease and pests were
odd ,jobs that kept the nucleus of the
Force together.
In• 1937 Johnson went to Imperial
Defence College in England, and on
his return to Canada was sent west to
organize and command the Western
Air Command' with headquarters at
Vancouver, where he remained unfit
the present conflict started. Air .Com-
modore Johnson was soon sent to
England to go over with the R.A.F.
staff details of the Air Training Plan:
He has tackled his gigantic new task
unflustered and steady, confident that
a goof job • can and shall be done.

Nelles at 48 is Canada's Chief of Nav-

The man on the street is beginning to
be aware of what this country and
indeed the entire Commonwealth oft
Nations owe to the foresight and en-
ergy of this brilliant and -modest of-
ficer during the peace -time years di-

Looking back at Canada's pre-war
Navy of fifteen vessels, and realizing
as we now do that with the U. S.
neutrality regulations. every item of
war ,supply and equipment from the
U.S. as well as Canada meat leave
this continent for the British Ie1es via
some Canadian port, ; Canadian citi-
zens today feel an extraordinary thrill
over the first exchange of ,messages
between Great Britain and Canada's
Navy. How soon, the Admiralty ask-

Born in -Brantford, Ontario, Nelles
is the son of Brigadier General Chas.
M. Nelles. His mother was one of
those rare "grander• dames" of army
oircles, a woman whom the ranks re
vered. Of her -two only children, the
younger; Norman Cunningham Nelles;
was killed in action at Ypres in 1915.
Admiral Nelles. was educated at

Navy, from the days when his pre-

the acquisition of the "Niobe," and
the gradual achievement of a small
fleet of our own. Nelles attended
Royal Naval College,- Greenwich, and
followed the usual courses, of instruc-
tion for officers of the Royal. Navy
till he was commissioned a Lieten-

Nelles began the last war, attached
