REFUSE TO GIVE UP ARMS.
U. s. Troops Get 72 Old Rifles and
Pistols From Tent Colony.

Trinidad, Colo.-Strikers in the
Trinidad district. which included the
big tent colony at San Rafael heights.
whence the residents of the destroyed
Ludlow colony went, Saturday surren-
dered ~ arms of all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks, burst
barrels. broken hammers, and many
small-caliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed by the manner in which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation of dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur
render their arms voluntarily.
All told, there were 725 arms re-
ceived by the federal commander Sat
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers in arms and
ammunition contributed largely. and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and small-caliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of Inn
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use Of
heavy. greasy. rich food. finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago l had q lot OF trou-
BILE from Indigestion, caused by too
rich food. got SO was unable to
digest scarcely anything. and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. praising 1t highly and as
a last resort, I tried It. am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble. but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans SO that can now eat anything
desire. But / stick to Grape-Nuts"
