INTERESTING CONTEST.
Heavy Cost of Unpaid Postage.
One of the most curious contests
over before the public wan conducted
by many thousand persons under the
offer of the Post u in Cereal Co., Ltd.,
of Battle Creek. Mich., for prizes of
31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks
to those making the most words out I
of the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts.
The contest, was started In February,
1906, and It was arranged to
have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30,
1906.
When the public announcement
apponred many persons began to
form the words from these letters,
sometimes the whole family being
occupied evenings, a combination of
amusement and education.
After a. while the lists began to
eomo In to the Postum Omce, and before
long the volume grew until it
required wagons to carry the mull.
Many of tho contestants were
thoughtless enough to send their lists
iflth Insufficient postage and for a
period It cost the Company from
twenty-live to fifty-eight und sixty
^dollars a day to pay tho unpaid post*agp.
Young ladies, generally those who
had graduated from the high school,
were employed to cshtnino these lists
and count the correct words. Webster's
Dictionary was the standard,
and each list was very carefully corrected,
except those which fell below
8000, for it soon became clear that
nothing below that could win. Some
of the lists required the work of a
young lady for a solid week on each
individual list. The work was done
very carefully and accurately, but
tho Company bad no Idea, at the time
the offer was made, that tho people
would respond so generully, and they
were compelled to till every available
pace In the offices with these young
lady examiners, and notwithstanding
they worked steudily. it was impossible
to complete the examination until
Sept. 29, over six months after the
prist"! should have been awarded.
Tliis delay caused a great many
inquiries and naturally created some
dissatisfaction. It has been thought
best to make this report in practically
all of the newspapers In the
United Stales and many of the magazines
in order to make clear to the
people the conditions of the contest.
Many lists contained enormous
numbers of words which, under the
rules, had to be eliminated. "Pcggor"
would count, "loggers" would
not. Sumo lists contained over f>0,000
words, the great majority of
which wore cut out. The largest
lists were checked over two and in
nomo cases three times to insure accuracy
The 1100.00 gold prize was won by
L. D. Ree*e, 1227-luth St., Denver,
Colo., with 9941 correct worda. The
highest $10.00 gold prize went to S.
K. Fraser. Lincoln, Pa., with 9921
correct words.
A complete list of the 331 winners
with their home addresses will be
sent to any contestant enquiring on
a postal card.
Be sure and give name and address
clearly.
This contest has cost tho Co. many
thousand dollars, and probably has
not been a prolltable advertisement,
nevertheless, porhaps some who had
never before tried Grape-Nuts food
have been interested in tho contest,
and from trial of the food havo b.-on
shown its wonderful rebuilding paw
era.

In IMS she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was oenunon for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature's own remedies?
calling in a physician only in specially
argent cases. By tradition and exSerience
many of them gained n wonerful
knowledge of the curative properties
of the varioua roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took n great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
1
biiBiMtciiincii uu power oT?r aiMasc.
She maintained that juat aa nature so
bountifully provides In the harvest fields
and orchards vegetable foods of
nil kinds; so, if we hut take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remediea expresetj
designed to cure the vnrious
tile and weaknesses of the body, and'
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare etmple and effective medi
eines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combination
of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found beat adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar
to the female sex, and Lydla E.Pinkham's
friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, without
money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1673 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the I'inkham family, aa this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centennial
year dawned it found their property
syept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia tl. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
