 BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Young Negro Held In COnnec-
 ton With Opelika Robbery

OPELIKA, Ala. Aug. 5.-(SpeciaD A number of minor burglaries re- gently committed in Opelika came to climax Sunday morning, when the store of Summers and Cooper was en- tered.

A step ladder on the inside showed how the exit was made. The cash register was broken open, and the contents rifled. Some pocket knives were stolen.
 A small negro boy about ten years of age, named Robertson, has been ar rested, and others involved will be soon apprehended, it is said, as the of ficers are of the opinion that it is a gang of youthful criminals connected with the robbery, as well as with the other offenses of this kind recently committed.

Good Blood Necessary for Good Health
Rheumatism, Sluggishness, Sal l low Skin and Pimples Give
 Away Before Flow of Rich
 Pure Blood.

Blood is the very flow of life itself. Its function is the keeping all parts of Che body free from poisonous acids. How, then, can impure blood, contain ing itself, such poisoAous acids-prop- erly perform the function which nature intended it should?
 That is the solution to many ail- ments. Chief of these are rheumatism and skin eruptions. Only clean pure blood is capable of preserving clean, pure body condition. Therefore, care of the blood must be recognized as a most important matter.
 But how can you be certain that Sour blood receives such care? Medical science has approved and heartily en- dorsed Taylor's Blood Medicine as a superior blood purifier known to keep the blood in it's proper condition.
 Taylor's Blood Medicine contains Todide of Potash and other vegetable Ingredients such as Sarsaparilla, Dan
