Good Food Is The
Secret of Health.
In a Kernel Of Wheat Nature Provides
Every Necessary Food Element.

The human body constantly consumes
the vital elements of which it is COM
posed, just as fire consumes fuel And,
just as fire dies without fuel so does
the body die unless replenished with
it's elements.
There are fourteen of these essen
tial elements, and as each. Is consumed
the body must be replenished If life
and strength are to be sustained. This
is the secret of health.
/ The air supplies the oxygen which
the body needs, but all the other ele-
ments must be derived from our food
These are just as important as oxygen,
and we cannot exaggerate the impor-
lance Of selecting food which provides
all the nutrition SO necessary to life
and health.

contain carbon and hydrogen. These
are force. and Matchmaking foods. Some
foods contain phosphorus, potash or

that if she would come to New York he

LONG SEARCH FOR SISTER
INSANE WOMAN IN ST. PETER
HOSPITAL HAS BEEN SEP
ARATED FROM FAMILY ALMOST
THIRTY YEARS.
Special to The journal,

St. Peter, Mimi, April 17.--After a search
Tor nearly thirty years and in several north
western states, Miss Annie Seielstad believes
female wards at the ST. Peter state hospital
for the insane. The sister is, or was, Miss Anna
seielstad, who disappeared from Austin, MINI,
about 1878. "a,
Miss Se1elstad, who lives at Northwood, Iowa,
came to st.. Peter yesterday to follow up a
clue she obtained some weeks ago, and the
story she tells is most romantic one She
accounts for the similarity in the names of
herself and her sister by stating that they were
christened in accordance with an old Norwegian
custom, which provides that the two eldest
girls In each family shall be named Anna.
Anna seielstad the elder, came to this coun-
try In advance Of her family in 1876 For
about a year, she lived at Albert Lea with an
uncle and then went to Austin. For several
months she correspondent regularly with her
relatives, but her letters finally ceased and all
trace of her was lost =,-. e5sss.s. s. :.
Two years later her parents and the other
members of her family came to the United
States. Unaccustomed to the ways of the coun.
try, and in their strange surroundings they had
no knowledge of the methods to pursue to besir
a systematic search, and contented themselves
with making casual inquiries.
In this way they traced the missing girl tt
points In northern Iowa and Wisconsin. TheI
they learned that she had lived in North Da
kota and later at Fosston, MINI. Information
obtained at the latter place convinced Miss
Seielstad that the woman had gone to Mime
apolis and had there been committed to the
state hospital, and this led to the trip to St
Peter. ..' F..

she readily identified the patient and says steps

hands. Not since the early settlement Of the
town has there been such a movement of Sparta
real estate, and even the citizens here cannot
figure out what it means. Certain mysterious
movements in the past few days have led many
to believe that either the Steel corporation is
buying UP the property or that specnla tors are
figuring on making good thing out Of the
proposed moving of the village. 8
Z The high prices paid for some Of the property
has led to the conclusion that large money In
terests are behind the deal. It has been conclu-
siyely announced that the town must be moved
in order to permit of certain mining operat ions,
and some think that the Steel corporation has
been quietly buying up the TOWNSHIP property in
order to obtain it at reasonable figures.
