St., Norfolk, Va. Catalogue an Application. Everything Gptical and Photographic, This is "Booster" Week in The Commonwealth's Great Prize and Popularity Contest, and every con testant should take advantage of the offer of 5000 additional votes with every two yearly subscriptions. A two year subscription will count as t.vo one year subscriptions and so on. There are three prizes to go to e ach district and "no candidate has any advantage so far. In fact new candidates are entering every day, 1 "n i c-na win oe uomg so for the next three weeks. Their chances for winning are very good, considering ; he fact that with a few hours work they can secure enough votes to place their names among the leaders. For the next week every moment will be worth its weight in gold to the various contestants, end should be turned to profitable account by every contender for the prize. Every moment should be made to yield the magnificent total in votes, vhich it is capable of yielding if turned to proper account. Every moment should be guarded against loss as though it were a priceless possession, for the loss of a moment may mean the loss of a contestant's position in the race, and possibly loss of the victory at the close of the struggle. The search for subscriptions should not be confined to relatives and ac quaintances, but should include everybody, relatives, friends ac quaintances and strangers alike. It is important that contestants secure subscriptions for the greatest possible length of time, for a vast difference exists in the number of Vdtes given for short time and long time subscriptions. The difference in the number of votes may be suf ficient to decide the victory at the finish. CONTEST CREATES DISCUSSION. So widely advertised and closely watched is the contest that the ladies f.nd little occasion to explain the ob ject of their visit. In most cases they were informed that the object of their visit had been expected. In fact the air is laden with talk of the contest. It has become the main topic of conversation throughout the city and countryside. "Wher ever two or more are gathered to gether" the prospects of the various candidates are discussed. The spirit of the contest is infecti ous; it is overwhelming. It is not necessary to hear it heralded from the house tops; the eye can not help noticing the animated express ion nor the ear fail to hear the words "Contest," The Commonwealth" Plenty, of fresh air, sleeping out-doors and a nlain. nourishing diet are I all good and helpful, but the most important or all is Scott's Emulsion It is the standard treat ment prescribed by phy sicians all over the world for this dread disease. It is the ideal food-medicine to heal the lungs and build up the wasting body.

Men who are always busy have time for further ing the progress of their favorites Many of the contestants have cam paign managers, the securing of vhom has been suggested in this column and as a result the plan of action has been carefully laid out with most gratifying results. The work to be done in the con test will be of short duration, but the enjoyment of the results will last and live with joy for years. It is well worth one's time to help a candidate win out; it is worth the candidate's time and close attention in the remaining weeks of the con test to make every single spare j minute and working hour count. How many of those in the contest will regret after it is over that they did not try just a little harder be fore the close to make gains? Then it will be too late to vote. Now is the time to collect ballots on subscriptions. The prompt response of the friends of various contestants is indeed very pleasing to the ladies and The Com monwealth. Concentrated efforts are the most effective now. At this period of the contest there is a stake the winning of several 5000 special bal lots. "Be up and doing." VOTES WITHOUT NUMBERS. Lately several packages of votes have been received by the contest editor without names written on them. Such votes of course cannot be counted, as we do not know for whom they were intended. In pre paring such packages, great care should be taken. It is a good idea to mark the number of votes in each package, so if there is an error in your count the contest editor can inform you as to the reason of the error, if any is made. PROSPECTIVE SUBSCRIBERS. Now a word about subscribers to other papers who are paid in ad vance. Many such subscribers tell contestants they would help them out by subscribing for The Com monwealth if they were not paid up on another paper for six or eight months. When contestants find such persons, simply say that you can take their subscription to start any time they wish, even a year from now. EVERY SUBSCRIBER SHOULD VOTE. Every subscriber to The Common wealth should give their votes to some candidate. Send in your fa vorite's name and then vote for her. Vote just as you would for congress man to represent you, only vote oftener, as it is perfectly safe, and the oftener you vote the more sure your candidate is to be a winner. Your help may be just what she needs to make her a winner. POLL SOME AND KEEP A RESERVE. It is a good idea to poll a few votes as vou go along and keep as near the top of the list as possible, but it is ; also a good idea to keep a good re- j serve force in readiness and have, them on hand when emergency calls, j Rememberttlso that in a contest of ; this kind nothing succeeds so well as perseverance and those who com mence right now and keep everlast ingly at it will be the ones who will . win in the end. Securing votes is not so hard if a systematic plan is laid down and adhered to. Just make up your mind to win and do not let anything interfere with that determination. i DISTRICT NO. 1.

In rendering an opinion, Chief Justice Clark said, "the re- quirements that the holders of a book shall present it and obtain a ticket thereon, is an un reasonable regulation and therefore void." Greenville Reflector. President Taft rather gave the country a surprise yesterday in the appointment of Justice White, of the supreme court, to the chief justiceship. It has been generally expected that Justice Hughes would be elected to the head of the court. It is said that Justice Hughes' lack of experience on the bench weighed against him. His ability is unques tioned, but friends of the president told him that the country would be better satisfied if he would give the chief justiceship to a man of ripe judicial experience. Justice White's name as the possible successor to Chief Justice Fuller had not, b - on mentioned until Sunday, when tha slate was nractieallv eoinnletpd. i oon 1 Chief Justice White, who is a demo- 1uuu I , i x.. itimi, was appoiuieu 10 uie supreme bench from Louisiana 16 years ago by Grover Cleveland. The prompt ratification of his appointment by t he senate, as soon as his name reached that body, shows the high esteem in which he is held. The senate could have referred the nomination to a committee along with the others sent in, but it choose to pay the dis tinguished jurist the compliment and courtesy of immediate ratification of his appointment. Of the other appointments made yesterday, none of the new judges are so well known to the country at urge as Chief Justice White, except Chairman Knapp, of the interstate commerce commission, who was ap pointed to the head of the new com merce court. It is probable that all the nominations will prove satisfac tory to the senate and be promptly ratified. There were a good many news stories sent out from Washing ton to the effect that the president was being influenced in his appoint ments by political consideration, es pecially by the rehellious attitude of the insurgents. The result shows, however, that there was no truth in tiiese stories. It can be said to the credit of Presinent Taft he has ex hibited unusual discernment in all his judicial appointments and it is believed that he has measured up to his standard in these latest appoint ments.
