BEET SUGAR MEN ARE
JUBILTANT TODAY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 19.-
There is much jubilation today among
beet sugar Republicans over yester-
days victory. In the exuberance of
their spirits they declare that Cuban
reciprocity is dead, and say they have
assurance the senate will not pass the
measure in its present shape nor
samend it so that it will resemble the
original in appearance because of the
strength of the 'Insurgent" Democrat
ic alliance. The Democrats are equal
ly joyous, inasmuch as differences in
the Republican camp are accentuated.
Not since the establishment of Reed
rules have leaders of the dominant
party suffered such severe reverse.
The results portend great contest in
the next house if 1t be Republican for
speaker. Henderson will have to
fight for the pedestal.

Various merchants Of the city have
had closing out sales and clearance
sales, and now The Herald is going
to indulge in the greatest proposition
of the year. 1t costs considerable
money to keep a collector and make
monthly collections of subscriptions
with now and then loss on a few
and We have concluded to give patrons
the benefit OF this and submit the fol-
lowing proposition which will be in
vogue for twenty days only;
In order to do away with collec-
tor all Durango subscribers receiving
Herald by carrier can have same at
rate of fifty cents per month by pay
ing one year in advance-s6. This
is direct saving of 33-1-3 per cent.
All availing themselves of this offer
can include the month of April which
means advancing only s5.25, there
fore the saving is increased. To Sc
cure the April rate of so cents it will
be necessary to call at the office and
make payment before the first of May
when all monthly bills will be made
out at the rate of rs cents. II costs
considerable money to make out bills
each month and keep collector in
the field most of the time and If we
can secure payment in advance
and bookkeeping thus dispensed
with we are willing subscrib-
ers get the benefit Several hun
1red Durangoites should avail
themselves OF this opportunity of maxi
ing SO. We have between 200 and
800 subscribers who have taken The
Herald steadily for the past ten to
fourteen years and they know what
to depend upon. and the many others
who have been on a few years also
know the kind of a paper thev may ex-
pect 1t will be our aim to improve
as Durango progresses. Remember
TO avail yourselves of this rate it will
be necessary to call at The Herald
Office and settle in person for year or
send check through the mails. other
wise the rs cent rate will prevail
where it becomes necessary to make
out bills and collect. There may be
some who have not the ready monev
and at the same time want to avail
themselves of this opportunity. To
such persons we are willing to aid.
They can subscribe for the year and
sign a contract payable in two or
three months and for this trouble
charge of 25 cents will be made. Or
anv one can subscribe for year and
secure the rate and six months time
bv giving their due bill for $3.50. This
will do away with all bookkeeping out
side of the one entry and monthly col
lections and accounts for the liberal
offer
Those who want to take the paper
for six months can secure same by
paving $3.50 in advance and can in
clude the month of April if they so
desire effecting a saving of SIPS. Re
member it will paw you to borrow the
money to take advantage of the offer
that in six months you pay $3.50
when you pay by the month.
Please bear it in mind that this
proposition only holds good for twenty

One reason why so many men are
bald. according to Il foreign medical
journal. is because they allow their
hair to die through want Of exercise
Under the skin which covers the head
are several muscles, it explains. and
these are never stirred into activity,
the result being that they do not per-
form their proper function. and conse'
ouenty the skin is insutticiently nour-
ished and the hair gradually dies.
"Women." it continues, do not be-
come bald, and the reason is because
they spend much more time combing
and arranging their hair than men do.
During this operation the skin on the
head is stirred into activity, and as
result the muscles remain active and
the hair tlourishes.
at is evident, therefore, that the best
way to prevent badness is to rub the
skin frequently and vigorously, for I'M
less this is done the muscles Will be
unable to supply it with the proper
amount of nourishment"
