FLU EPIDEMIC AGAIN RAGING THROUGH
COUNTRY.
PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTLESS AND
RUN DOWN, MORE APT TO
SUCCUMB THAN HEALTHY
PERSONS.

It's dangerous to feel listless. 1t
means that you arc run down and
have lazy liver, with poison in
the blood. 1t means that you are
not in shape to resist the flu germs.
And flu germs are everywhere.
You breath them all the time. Per
sons with whom you associate carry
the germs 10 you, and if you are not
in good health you will contract
fhe disease.
Pepsotonc will build you up. The
handy tablets are full of new energy
for you. They will move all i'm
purities from the system. They
will purify the blood, and pure
blood can resist the attack Of flu
germs.
The 25c. package of PcpsoiOnc is
an investment for better hcalth--an
investment well worth making. Your
druggist has supply and will be
glad TO furnish you with Pepsotonc.

HYDRA'LIC DITCH
CLAIMS A VICTIM
WHEN TW0-YEAR
old BOY browns
Lawrence Bradley Falls in
Ditch Near His Home at
Noon Today.

Lawrence Fountain Bradley. the
little 2-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. R. Bradley. 1910 North Tenth street,
accidentally fell into the Canon City
Hydraulic ditch about I2:45 o'clock
this afternoon and was drowned Just
how it occurred is not known, as
there were no eyewitnesses of the
tragedy.
The ditch runs through the prem
ises at the rear of the Bradley home,
and it is supposed that the little fell
low, while playing near its banks lost
his balance in some manner and fell
into the water. Five minutes after
the child's disappearance from the
house the parents were looking for
him. Unable to find him in the yard
their fears were aroused by the posi-
bility that he had in some way gotten
into the ditch. and they began to
search its banks, but without result.
The neighbors were attracted to the
scene b ythe alarm of the parents,
and Joined in the quest for the miss
ing child. Among those in the party
that assisted in the hunt for the little
chap was c. NJ Thompson of The
Daily Record composing room force.
and from him mosct of the details Of
the sad affair were obtained.
Great . cite N ent was created
among the people in the vicinity Of
the Bradley home and all volunteered
their services to help recover the lost
child Every possible hiding place
in the neighborhood was searched and
every nook and cvranny for blocks
around were explored. but without OBJ
tanning any clue to the missing boy.
Most of those in the rescue party
clung to the conviction that he had
fallen into the ditch and was drowned.
and of rthat reason. more attention
was given to searching the ditch
hSnks than 70 anything else
Mr.. Bradley, who led the searchers.
went further down the ditch than the
rest. and nearly a quarter of mi'e
below the house saw the body fioa ting
on the water. being carried along by
the current Only part of the head
of the little fellow was visible. the
remainder of the body being sub
merged.
Mr. Bradley reached into the wafer
and tenderly took the remains from
the ditch hoping hat possibly life
was not extinct In this. however.
he was doomed 10 disappointment. as
neither heartbeat no respiration were
discernible A more careful inspec-
ton convinced him that death had
taken place few minutes before.
First aid for the drowning was ad-
ministeIed but rescusitation was i'm
possible. as the spark of life had fed.
A physician was summoned, but could
do nothing toward bringing back the
life that had taken its departure.
The sympathy of the community
goes out TO NJ. and Mrs. Brad ey N
the bereavement that has befalben
them in the drowning of their little
son. Announcement of the funeral
will be made later.
