TORiAL RACE AGAINST
SPEER AND ADAMS

DENVER, Feb. 1.-The second at
tempt to secure a Democratic caucus
on the senatorial contest has failed.
The platform Democrats again refused
to enter and without them no caucus
can be held. The platform Democrats
also refused to give their entire
strength to any OF the various candi-
dates, except Mayor Speer, because
they fear ambuscade. The senatorial
contest stands today where 1t has
stood all along. No one holds out any
hope even for radical change in
the voting. Senator Barela declared
today that he will ask that more than
one vote for the senator be taken each
day as. since Mrs. Cook has entered
the race, there Is further chance OF
division OF votes. Whether or not
some OF the women members will sup
port her is question freely asked.
No man not directly aligned with May.
or Speer or Alva Adams is ready to be-
lieve that either can be elected to
the United States senate.
The Legislators are voting disinter-
estedly and are growing listles But

NUT CURE

LONDON DOCTOR SAYS EATING OF
NUT DIET WILL CURE
DREAD DISEASE

LONDON, Feb. IA nut diet is the
latest idea in the medical world as a
possible cure for cancer. DR.. Alexan-
der Haig, the noted authority on the
Influence of uric acid in disease, is
the one who advances this theory. In
IL letter to the Lancet, a medical pub.
lication, he appeals to the profession
to assist him in probing the possibill-
ties of a real cure of cancer by diet
ing. 1t has been generally assumed
hitherto that when a recovery from
cancer takes place the disease has not
been properly diagnosed
DIR. Haig now appeals to his prores.
sional brethren to send him thirty or
forty cases of imperative cancer for
treatment. He has for years held the
belief that diet is an important point
in the treatment of cancer. The cases
he requires must have a probability OF
at least six months of life, as change
of diet produces little visible effect
on the patient under three months.
DR.. Haig's treatment consists in
putting the patient on a "free-from.
uric-acid" diet and from that on nut
diet, with fruit juices and distilled
water as the only liquids allowed.

Sunday Closing and Gam.
bling Ordinances Must
Be Observed

The city council met Tuesday night
to consider the saloon question inso
far as it relates to Sunday closing and
gambling
Alderman Nelson stated that he be-
lieved that one-half of the saloons
were being kept open on Sunday and
that in more than half gambling was
going on. He stated further that If
the marshal could not cope with the
situation some one should be appointed
in his place who could. He suggested
that the penalty for violating the law
In either of these respects should be
to revoke the license for thirty days
for the first offense and for all time
for the second.
The mayor said that the council
owed it to saloon men who were obey
ing the law as well as to the public
to require strict observance of these
two city ordinances. He advocates
the strict and impartial enforcement
OF the law, Or he argued that the ef-
given up. The mayor made it plain
that the council was not making a
fight on the saloon business legiti-
mately conducted. He said he was
in favor of a wet town as he con.
sidered if Durango was dry it would
be detrimental to the business inter
ests without improving the moral con
dition, but he was not in favor of gam
bling and Sunday opening.
The marshal was questioned as to
reported violations He replied that
violation was said to have occurred
Sunday but he did not see it. The
saloon in question had the curtains
raised but there was no evidence OF
anyone within.
A motion by Alderman Nelson, duly
seconded by Alderman Dudley. that
the marshal be instructed to enforce
both the Sunday closing and gambling
ordinances, and in case of a violation
revoking the license for thirty days
should be the penalty for the first Of
tense and for all time for the second,
was unanimously adopted. If the mar.
shal fails to make the arrests in order
to secure conviction his resignation
will doubtless be demanded.
The council recognized that the mar.
shall met with difficulty in locating
these things and it was suggested by
an alderman that a private citizen be
engaged to bring the violator of the
law to justice, If there be such.
Certainly the council is to be com
mended upon their efforts to make
Durango a clean town.
