End Of "5O,O00Club" Campaign
" Is Less Than Two Weeks Distant
Contest to Boost Herald Circulation Closes on March d.
Week of Near Double Votes" Now in Progress
Today's Coupon Will Count for Five Votes

In les than two weeks time the flag
will fall in the big automobile race,
bringing to a close the most interesting
and fairest newspaper subscription cam
paign ever conducted in Washington and
surrounding territory. Friday night,
March "a, marks the grand finish in the
$4,000 Club" the object of which is to
increase the circulation to $1,000 daily.
The work accomplished by the members
this week and next will decide who the
real winners will be. Every candidate
In the race has the same opportunity
of winning any one of the six grand
prizes or forty-four other awards.
The last of the double voting was fin
ished Saturday night, and while many
of the candidates worked hard. no one
seemed to gain much of a lead or ad
vantage over the others. It is still any
body's fight, and the balloting this week
may decide the winners OF the three
cars. Nobody knows but what single
subscription will turn the tide Of battle
in your favor; one subscription may
mean the difference between victory and
defeat to you.
However, although double voting has
ended, there is still one more week Of
near double votes, which means double
votes less 10 per cent on all new sub
scriptions. For instance last week a
year subscriptions $3.50 counted for 10000
votes; this week a year subscription
counts for only 5000. All other new sub
scriptions count in like proportion. Near
double votes end Saturday night, March
IS, at II o'clock and never again will
new subscriptions count for as many
votes.
There is one more week in which 10 pile
up votes in the rush of the battle Tor
victory. No more extra prizes will Re
offered as extra inducements to the can
dldates in the dash to the tape. Bear
this in mind and do not fool yoursclf by
holding back your votes until the finish
on March "a Turn them in while they
count for the most
AS you obtained more votes last week
than you will this week, so will you be
given more votes this week than next
week, the final week. Therefore, Z your
efforts are to count the most. all sub
scrlptions to The Washington Herald
should be in the hands of the 900 Club
by next Saturday night, March IS
On account OF the increased work in
the $1,000 Club Department on Saturday
evening, It will be impossible to get sub
scriptions turned in at that time started
before Thursday or Friday of this week.
Through an oversight the coupon was
not changed in Sundays issue of The
Herald therefore todays coupon will
count five votes. After Saturday, March
Is. no more coupons will appear in the
paper.
All candidates with less than 10000
votes to their credit will be dropped from
the list after today.

Stomach Trouble

Stomach troubles such as indigestion.
wind, and stomach-ache are simply evil
dence that fermentation is taking place
in the food contents of the stomach
causing the formation of gas and acids.
Wind distends the stomach, and causes
that full, oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the acid ir-
riatates and inflames the delicate lining
OF the stomach. The trouble leg en-
tirely in the fermenting food. Such
fermentation is unnatural, and acid for

be taken in quarter of a glass of water
Immediately after eating, or whenever
