FIRE AT ELK POINT
GRILL ELEVATOR AND CONTENTS
ARE TOTALLY DE-
STROYED.
HIGH WIND AIDS THE FLAMES
Several Other Buildings Are Ignited,
but Are Subdued Without Serious
Loss-Gasoline Engine in Burned
Structure Starts Blaze.

Elk Point.-The large grain eleVa-
tor of the l.. n. Criss Seed company
was burned here. Several hundred rail-
road ties belonging to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad were
burned. There was a high wind and
several houses caught fire, but were
extinguished. The railroad stock yards
caught fire several times, but were put
out by the firemen. The fire started
from the gasoline engine in the eleva-
tor. The Aberdeen and Sioux Falls
passenger trains were delayed here an
hour and a half, the fire being so fierce
that they could not pass by. l.. n.
Grill had $1,000 worth of seed corn in
the elevator. The contents and the
elevator are a total loss. There was
no insurance of contents. The loss to
Mr.. Grill is about $4,000. The burned
| elevator was for many years a Touring
mill and was made into a grain eleya-
tor by Mr.. Grill six years ago.

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-haIf of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic ~cellsalt, Potassium Phos-
plate phosphate of Potash. This salt unites
with albumen and by the addition of oxygen
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter Of the
brain. OF course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life."
Further on he says: THE beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-this Is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that IL Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it. you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
Mind does not work we'll on a brain that is
broken down by lack of no~ucishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.

She came to me in four days to tell me
she was all right and most thankful. |

was 80 bad that ] could not rise from my
chair without assistance and could hardly
lace up my boots. / at once sent for
more Swamp-Root and after taking two

GREATLY ATTACHED TO IT
Husband Who Had "Married Money"
Acknowledged the Truth to His
Friends Query.

Apropos of a beautiful young wife,
worth $4O,0 600, 900, who had just d.
vorced her penniless husband in or
der to marry again, Henry E. Dixey,
the comedian, said at a dinner in New
York:
The young man who marries for
money has none o easy a time of It.
His rich wife is likely to tire of him
end throw him out in a few years, or
else she is likely to limit his allow
ance to % or so cents a day.
az married money a man once
said to me.
Wasn't there a woman attached
TO it?' l asked.
Ives, you bet there was he ex-
pioded. so much attached to it that
she never parted with a penny"

Can't Get Away From 1t

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and Re-
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part Of the
brain each day. Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month OF
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back a little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild ms brain? Is 1t from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about 1t, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In a good variety but not in suitable
proportion In all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
ly of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure In a growing child.
Likewise II we would feed in a skillful man.
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.

Ace OF Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum
mer and especially during the long,
warm summer at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over a bunch Of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh OIL
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
live to be twenty years old.
