You Have 2 Wealth of Beautiful

Nothing equals an aureoIe OF
hair as a frame for a

pretty face frequently becomes
plain and, with it, u%nattractlye

Every woman can increase her

Herpicide. Herpicide makes
hair beautiful. The dandruff
germ saps the vitality of the
nair. Herpicide applied intelli-
gently and regularly checks this

yen.s the hair from falling out
giving it a snap and luster, a sofI

STATE PRINTING RATES

What the Arizona legislators do not know about the cost of publishing newspapers would fill the Grand Can yon to the brim, says the Tucson Citi- zen, yet they have had the nerve to fix, by law, the prices at which news paper publishers must sell their ad- vertising space. Advertising space is the newspaper publishers sole stock in trade, the one thing to which he must look for both his gross earnings and net profit The subscription list does not yield more than enough rev enue to meet the cost of white paper ink and press work.
 The labor, overhead and all other costs must be paid out of the fund de rived from the advertising space. and these costs vary greatly, as they are regulated by the cost of living, the standard of wages and the business conditions prevailing in the locality where each paper in the state is print ed and published The most expert enced and best trained newspaper man in the state could not figure these costs correctly outside Of the locality in which his paper is located Therefore it is the height of absurdlty for a legislator, who knows not even the slightest detail of business of pub fishing a newspaper to set himself up as an arbiter of advertising rates.
 A large per cent. of the publishers, themselves, are not able to accurately determine just how much per inch they must charge for their advertising space in order to derive reasonable profit therefrom. This is why the newspaper men are holding cost con crosses all over the United States and employing experts to figure out cost systems for them. They have come t' realize that they have been, for years, miscalculating costs and as a result over fifty per cent of them have gone broke, forty per cent. eked out bare existence and only about ten per cent. established small bank account. If the honorable legislators really desire to redeem their ante-election pledges by reducing public eXpendl- lures to the economical basis demand ed by the Democratic state platform. they should not stop the spigot and leak at the bung" Instead of reduc- ing twenty or thirty newspaper pub fishers to a lower plane of poverty, let them abolish the few of the official sinecures they have created and re- duce official salaries to something near the value of the services render ed therefor.

HEN, MARIO MEN|CAL |S NOW
 PRESIDENT IF CUBA

States. He graduated from Maryland Agricultural College in 1884, and from Cornell University four years later.
 Equipped with a splendid education and with a perfect knowledge Of both English and Spanish, Gen. MenocaPs success dates from his first work after leaving Cornell. His first en- gineering work was done in Nicaragua on the survey of an inter-oceanlc canal. Before sailing from New York on this trip he had to sign a release to his company for any responsibility for returning his body to the United States in case of death. The com pany would agree, however, to return the body on payment of $50, to be deducted from the salary of the em- ployee in rather large installments. Young Menocal decided that such posthumus luxuries were not for stru2- gling engineers, so he signed the re- lease.
 It was in Nicaragua, where he spent two years, that General Menocal ac- quired the intimate knowledge of vel low fever and other tropical diseases that caused him to become one of the most active agents in the cleaning up of Havana during the American occu- patton.
 In 1892 Gen. Menocal returned to Cuba. At that time he laid before the Spanish city authorities a plan for cleaning up the city in the interest of the public health. No attention was paid to the recommendations.
 The military career of Gen. Menocal dates from June 5, 1895, when he en- tered the revolutionary army as a private His education and his en gineering ability made his promotion rapid Moreover, he met the dlffl' culties of a hard campaign with the same courage that he faced yellow fever in Nicaragua. His command in CdmaSudy anu OIlouIS pIONliiSCo oOoA cleared that territory of the Spaniards His storming of the fortified town of Las Tunas was one of the brilliant feats of the campaign.
 As inspector general of public works under the American administration General Menocal was an important fac tor in the cleaning up of Havana General Menocal left his position as inspector general to take charge oi the interests of the Cuban-American Sugar Company at Chaparra. During the time that this great hacienda has been under General MenocaPs super vision it has become the best known sugar property in the world. The production there in 1910 of 540,00C bags of sugar stands as a record from a single estate.

 LOWELL YARDS

BISBEE, May 20.-James w. Me Kay, a Southwestern car inspector, was seriously injured Saturday, when his left leg was cut off just below the knee by the wheels of a car.
 The accident occurred in the Lowell yards. Mckay was standing between two tracks. His back was toward Iii track on which a switch engine was moving cars. For some reason he suddenly took a step backward and was struck by freight car. He at tempted to save himself, but slipped partially beneath the car. The wheels passed over his left leg, completely severing it. He was rushed to the Copper Queen hospital His condition Saturday night was as favorable as could be expected.
 Mckay has been an employee on the Bisbee branch for eight years and has many friends here.
