Madrid.

A lovely 17-year-old girl who has wandered half across Spain in a search of her unknown parents, has been picked up in an e jausted condition near Villa- franca in North Spain..

Since her babyhood the girl had lived in Madrid with a rail- way employee and his wife, who received by post a small monthly sum for her maintenance,

Recently she decided to try and trace her parents, and set off- across Spain with only 15/- in her pocket.

She managed to reach Villa- franca, and there pleaded with the Post Office authorities to tell her who it was that sent the monthly remittance to Madrid.

They refused. So she wan- dered on until she collapsed from exhaustion. Now she is under the care of nuns in San Sebas- tian.

The authorities believe they have a clue indicating that her parents live in Barcelona, where enquiries are being made.-Reu-| ter.

Every physician knows that periodical sufferings and pain need not be inevitable to women: In nearly every case, a shortage in the body of vital minerals, is at the root of the trouble. Because lack of minerals is respon sible for the much dreaded pain and profuse loss, Kalzane, the mineral food, is regularly used by hun- dreds of thousands of women. They know from experience that with Kalzana they will be able to enjoy natural, care-free health again.

Kalzana works hand in hand with Nature' Physicians all over the

world are now prescrib- ing Kalzana when irre gularities of the functions occur, because they know that Kalzana works hand in hand with nature. Kalzana is a food and not a drug, therefore it can be taken under all circumstances. It must
