TO THE CANDIDATES. Wednesdays January 11th, at 9 p. m., will witness the wind-up of the best vote offer that will be made during the entire contest. The con test manager wishes to impress upon the minds of the different candidates the necessity for putting forth their best efforts during the next few days, and to leave no stone unturned in the way of getting every possible subscription. Collect all of your promises and others that are not promises, and work so that when the last day is here you 'will have nothing to re proach yourself with in the way of getting the necessary votes. "Of all sad words Of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been.' " The best vote offer made by The Commonwealth in its great populari ty contest will be brought to a close next Wednesday, January lltn. at 9 p. m. Only a few cays more, but during that time much can be accomplished. To throve who have been lagging be hind, the contest manager wishes to impress the fact that the present o-'va j of mo-" vrlua to ther than any other time in the contest, and that the work done this week will have an important bearing upon the. final results. To those who have not finally made up their minds to enter we wish to say that "now is the time." Rouse your friends at once to the fact that a subscription this week is worth more then at any other time. They will all help you if you ask them, and some will do more than give a subscription they will go out among their friends and serare oth ers for you. The Contest doss not end until February 7th so that you have plenty of time to start in now and be re turned a winner. There will be three prizes in each district and if you work hard you are bound to win one of them. , It seems as if some of the candi dates were leaving all the real work in the contest for their friends to do. They are interested and want to win one of the valuable prizes, but can not hope to do to unless they get out and hustle for themselves. You can not expect your friends to do it all for you. So lighten their burden by going to work yourself, showing them that you appreciate the honor they are doing you. "vvCSK FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING." That is a grand old sentiment in a grand old hymn, and we trust that readers of The Commonwealth will pardon us if w?, for tha purpose of Self's Emulsion is a wonderful food-medi-cinc for all ages of man kind. It will make the delicatc,2ickly baby strong and well will give the pule, anemic girl . rosy cheeks and rich, red blood. It will put flesh cn the bones of the tired, over worked, thin man, and will keep the aged man cr woman in condition to resist colds or pneumonia in the winter. Lin BY ALL DRUGGISTS' 2on!

It fits so splendidly into what has been preached regarding the "Op portunity offer." Wednesday night at 9 it will end. So "Work for the night is coming. ' If you haven't completed your club of ten yearly subscriptions you will have a few days in which to ac complish that very dtsirable feat. The receipt for getting bqnus votes is son.ething like the receipt for making that popular old Dutch dish, "hausenpfeffer." First you catch the rabbit only in the contest you get the club of ten subscribers. But you are not confined to one club, but may secure as many as possible. Perhaps one of the greatest assets possessed by a candidate in a big contest, such as The Commonwealth is conducting is enthusiasm. No success, either great or small, was ever achieved without a great deal of enthusiasm. Some folks are born with this desireable characteristic, so predominant that they ccrne to be, known as optimists, but there's nothing to it but enthusiasm pure and simple. Histn:;: j;..f'J?dif.h achievements of men and women who possessed a solitary idea backed by words of en thusiasm which they themselves gen- j cots, erated among their friends and sup- nnrters. The samfl ponrlitinn pxie-.t:-i r ,s, lTnri la hnhh inn1 nimr inrh f . !i thusiasm of her campaign is the cn who soon has all her friends feeling the same way. She feels she is going to win; there ' isn't the slightest doubt in her mind that the natural result is that every j friend becomes a booster to some ! purpose. And right now would seem to be j the propitious time to apply every available ounce of enthusiasm. The Contest has just gotten under way; It has just shaken off its swadding clothes and the 50,000 Bonus Oppor tunity makes it an especially desir able time to get into the game with all the earnestness that can be summoned. BE A WORKER NOT A WISHER. Nobody ever wished himself suc cess. The country is full of well- wishers, but it's the hard-headed j practical worker who will win. Just ; one little acre in North Carolina is better than a whole principality in wishbnd; a baked loaf is worth anlfej entire harvest in prospect when a j O 6 man is hungry. The moral is quite j obvious, simnlv sret busv. stav busy I and pu can beh ready se i r' WHAT THE MEN SAY. j A number of fairly hard-headed E business men have owned that they i; fj were unable to refuse the attractive i candidates who asked for their help. in :i i nei siliue leratai, uir, saiu uijb, "I didn't want to be the one to put : Era her cut, so I gave her a subscript-1 ion and she went out looking happier than ever." It is certainly a good ( p'an for you contestants to look ; cheerful. It will go a long way to-' wards helping you and will win you j many friends. ! Every contestant in The Common wealth's Great Contest should realize the importance of securing a num- familiar with it some candidate. end of the 50,000 offer is rapidly ap proaching, their enthusiasm will in crease in proportion, and the hustl ing candidate who r:?' vs'to be dis couraged, but keeps driving, always striving, will be th r one who will lead her district in t'le end. Those who are a little behind in the race can easily acquire first place during the coming week if a little extra effort is exert, d. Try to get every available subscription. You will be surprised to ,ee how rapidly your vote total will f 11 up into the thousands. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW ENTRIES. This special GO'IOOO vote offer is an attractive inducement for new en tries in The Commoiv.veaith's great prize and popularity contest. Young ladies who are de-sin., a;-, of entering should send their enmes on a post card or telephone the contest mana ger and a representative will call and explain in detail. DO NOT HOLD BACK Fl SSCRII TIONS.

Look over the list of candidates in the contest and then turn in your subscriptions and give the votes al lowed thereon to your favorite can didate. Nothing will please a con testant in this race more than a few thousand votes. Many subscriptions were paid for by friends of contest ants this week, the votes going direct to the candidates.

EVERYBODY INTERESTED. . Most everybody is interested in the contest and most everybody is willing to help. You know they are. It takes hustling to win., though. You all have the same chance. Grasp it while there is time. Bring your votes and subscriptions and avoid the rush. For the voting continues. So does the enthusiasm. Fairy tales are being told. Kidding clubs are being formed. A prevaricators' club is under for mation. The silent one may win the plum. Keep busy, keep silent. And wnen the end comes ! Oh, what a surprise it will be for your friends to see your vote go up many thousands. HOW VOTES ARE SECURED.
