The Bulletin will give these prizes for 600-word .stories about Abraham Lincoln, “the great emancipator,” written by pupils of schools in its field of circulation. These stories are not to be compila- tions from biographies, but original conceptions of the personal quali- ties which made Lincoln the greatest American of his generation and the best loved president of the United States. Originality of ex- pression will receive first recognition in making the awards. The stories should be written plainly on one side of the paper, without the name of the writer appended—the name to be on a sepa- rate sheet and enveloped. These papers will be impartially judged by a competent commit- tee, and the names of the writers wi1| not be known to the judges.

Naphtha Soap is used by women who have learned, by actual experience, that there is a better way, an easier way, a quicker way to wash clothes than the old-fash- ioned, work-all-day-in-a-hot-room way. These women no longer boil their clothes. * They no longer rub the life out of them on a wash- board. They no longer stand for hours-over tubs of hot water, the steam of which makes everything in the room, damp and uncomfortable. 3 Best of all: By using P. & G. Naphtha Soap, they are able to do as much: work in a morning as used to take a whole day. " 5 Cents a Cake—Worth More.
