Good Red Blood Is the Only Sure

Good color, bright eyes, solid flesh,

rich red blood If your blood is not

can not be. Late hours, eating the
wrong foods, working indoors, fatigue,
affect the blood. So many people eat
well and take exercise, yet never
seem to improve in health Gude's
Pepto- Mangan taken regularly for a
while gives the blood that richness
and redness that produces bounding
health and vigor. 1t is simple, nat

Colorado was pulled off in Denver on
Monday morning by just four men.
The truck with armed guards which
belongs to the federal reserve bank
had just received 100000 in five dol
lar bills from the mint, in front of
which it was standing, when the band
it car stopped along side of it and
four men leaped out and began firing
as soon as they hit the street. Only
one of the guards showed fight. Chas.
j. Linton, former member of the legis-
lature and well known politician, be-
gan firing us soon as the bandits show
ed their intention, and succeeded in
shooting one through the Jaw before
he himself was killed. The rest gave
up easily and the bandits quickly load
I'd the money in their car and drove
away amid a fusilade Of shots from
lhe mint guards which did no damage.
They raced past the corner of Colfax
and Broadway, one of the worst jams
an the capital city, right past the
front of the state capitol building and
were soon lost in the residence part
Of the city.
Large rewards offered by the city.
the federal reserve bank, the govern
ment and the insurance companies. it
is believed will bring the arrest of
the men, as the money was listed as
to its serial numbers and cannot be
spent without being known at any
bank where it may be taken. That
such robbery can be committed on
government property right in the busi-
ness center of large city, though, is
evidence of the fact that our disarn-
ament program within our own coun-
try at least has been carried too far.
1t was only a short time ago that the
U. s.. marines were withdrawn from
guarding government property in Den
yer at the request Of the citizens. They
would without doubt have prevented
such an affair as that of Monday
morning.
