THE RALEIGH EVENING TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1906. Salting Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Healthful cream of tartar, derived solely from grapes, refined to absolute purity, is the active principle of every pound of Royal Baking Powder. Hence it is that Royal Baking Powder renders the food remarkable both for its fine flavor and healthfulness. No alum, no phosphate which are the principal elements of the so-called cheap baking powders -and which are derived from bones, rock and sulphuric acid. ROYAL BAKINC POWOCR CO.. NEW YORK. GREAT $3,000 CONTEST OPENED AUSPICIOUSLY Such a Stupendous Undertaking as This Was Never Contemplated by any Other Journalistic Enterprise in North Carolina.

CohtestaUts who are in I he ini tial position should not feel dis couraged Ijy any means. The differ ence of a few thousand votes is of no consequence at this time as six full weeks remain in which to bridge the chasm which may exist between leaders and those in the last posi tion. A yearly subscription counts for 2.400 votes. One or two of these will place the candidate who is now at the bottom of the list well up in the running. Aspirants should bear in mind that every vote counts. Clip the coupons from the paper and send them or bring them to the Contest Department of the Times, which is located in King-Crowell Drug Store, and they will be properly credited.

When the amount is turned into the Contest Department the votes will be Issued and polled for the young lady who was instru mental in securing the subscription 'The best way of securing votes in the contest is by getting friends and acquaintances to subscribe for the Times. There is not a person in this section of the country who will not gladly give, a subscription to help a young lady on in a race, if asked to do so. Those who use their personal efforts to. secure ballots are the ones who will win, December tt'.ith. Vote getting is not at all tiresome and will be found interest inc and pleasurable.

A pretty little play Willi a trite plot is 'The Little Gray Laily." produced hist night at the Academy of Music, with Miss Helen Graihtly in the title role. The thing is a rather remarkable mixture of moments of real artistic power and others that almost reach the point of ridicule by roason of some of the humorous situations being over acted. Miss Grantly herself merits nothing but praise. She has ait. and a per sonality that would attract anywhere. With her deep, beautiful eyes, ethereal face and spirituelle form and soft, well modulated voice her audience last night fell in love. Her very frailty and appearance of going altogether on nerve force that completely conquers her delicate physique make her all the more fascinating. Of course her voice is not strong enough in the try ing scenes, but its weakness adds a charms, for one sees then how little there is of physical force behind all the powerful spirit of the woman. Fred Courtenay us I'errlton Carlyle supports Miss Grantly exceedingly well. He has a very difficult part, and in it he is natural, although hampered by an extremely lanky and ungainly frame. The Diamond in the rough. Samuel Meade, is well done by Frank Trenor. Master Schear as an urchin deserves notice for very good work. The boarding house keeper is rid iculous and tiresome. Her alleged Virginia accent in the first act is ex cruciating, as is her husband's. Christmas Shoppers ' lO Days Sale at lO Per Cent Discount From November 19th to 29th.

One of the chief features of the new college play "At Yale,',' which will be produced by Mr. Jules Uurry at the Academy on Tuesday night Is the music. Mr. Paul Oilmore. who is a crank on this subject, took the pre caution last summer to spend some time at aYle, studying the songs and singers on the college campus, and. as a result, he has selected lx-arly a dozen of the best national college songs and has taken care to have them sung by a double quartet of trained voices In true Yale style so that, when his piny is seen here, college men who witness the performance will be able thoroughly to enjoy both the songs and the singers.
