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. Much Excitement is Being
Created by This Great Contest
The great lin t' is on. on another
page of this paper will bo round I lie
names of the young women who
have entered The livening Times'
So, OdO contest. The track is clear
and every fair contestant has " the
right of Way" Votes have been
pouring into the Contest Depart
ment of the Times all week long
and every candidate has started in
the race with a goodly number of
ballots to her credit. Every district
is represented and as the days go by
more candidates will enter and the
contest become more interesting.
Never before lias such a iirgc
number of popular young women
been drawn together by a popular
enterprise. Votes have come from
every section of the state and friends
of the candidates Intend hacking
their favorites to the very end. Vote
getting has been going on deter
minedly for the pagl week hut as yet
the race is hardly started. .Now
that lh!' names are announced, bal
loting will he much stronger, and
before many moons "freuxied" voting!
will be in order.
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.
There is a ballot box in the Contest
Department where votes may be de
posited. Voles arc counted each
cvehjrig a' o'clock and the result
printed in the paper of the follow
ing evening. Votes cast after S p.
m. will be included in the count of
the following day.
From iiow on the names of candi
dates and the number of votes ac
corded each will appear in the news
columns rollowiug the daily wrlto
u p. H will be to the advantage of
every aspirant to advance her vote
total daily. This shows interest and
as people like to help those who
help themselves, it is evident tbat
those who make daily advances will
receive the help of many interested'
subscribers.
Hccelpt books, advertising matter,
etc., will be furnished candidates
and their friends upon application.
Every contestant is an authorized
agent of the Times and may collect
money for subscriptions if so de
sired. 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. The race is
now on in earnest and" those who
make the most of every minute stand
the best chance of winning the
tl.32fi Touring Car which is the
capital prize of this contest.
Don't get discouraged because
fionie one is ahead of you. The con
test is in its infancy and plenty of
time remains in which to make rapid
advances. Work hard, see your
friends and they will gladly lend
you their support.
The vote list as it appears today
includes all votes cast up to 8 o'clock
last night. The next change in the
counts will appear in .Monday s
Times.
The contest is open to every young
woman who is a white resident of
Raleigh or vicinity. Any person
may vote as often as he pleases us
ing for the purpose of voting the
coupons appearing in the Evening
Times or ballots secured by sun
scribing for this paper. Did sub
scrlbers may secure votes in this
contest by paying in advance as long
as desired. If you have not voted
for a young woman as yet do so to
day. The recipient, of the ballots
will appreciate your favor. If the
young woman you would like to see
awarded the automobile is not iu the
race enter her name at once. By
nominating her and helping her win
the Touring Car or a free Kip
through the East you will gain a
life's gratitude.

Miss Helen Grant ly Scores Again in
an Uneven Production.
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.

Song.- and Singers in "At Yale."
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.
