To lnquirers.
The competition positively closes at
p. M, March Is next.
Entries may be made at any time.
When sending in batch of votes 1t Is
not necessary to write the name OF the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in bundle, Sc
curing them together by pin or string,
and write the name Of the lodge they are
intended for on the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured so that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors of the piano in order
to vote. Everybody is entitled to vote as
often as they please. All they have to do
Is to cut the ballot out OF THE NEWS and
send il to the Barnaby Company, where 1t
will be duly registered and fled. What
ever organization has secured the most
votes gets the piano. That's all there is
to it.
The price OF The NEWS is one cent.
This price is invariable except to news
dealers and TO newsboys.
No papers will be available ct The NEWS
Office to anyone ut less price. AS a mat
ter of fact this price Is rs cents hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price OF a
two-cent paper. The decision to
sell the paper at the regular price to other
than dealers and newsboys, Is based on our
usual practice. We have twico had, within
few weeks, order for five thousand
papers, containing q certain article which
the buyer desired to mail throughout the
State-havipg nothing to do with the
piano contest--and the price demanded
snd paid was fifty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that oil interested may
have an equally fair show
tnu thafr hallnta W hnnt dla-
crimipation in favor OF those who con.
ceive the idea of buying in large quantities
and perhaps securing oil the votes they
want from an extra order for a particu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any 'iunk" during the piano contest.
Any and all papers returned and sent to
the waste paper buyers will be torn
through the ballot so that 1t will be
unavailable.
No one connected with THE NEWS office
or with theJ. b. Barnaby Company Will
| cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except in the
regular edition of THE NEWS
| The standing of the Barnaby Company,

TO the q. A. X. veterans as follows:
To rHE EDITOR OF THE NEWS;
SR-wiIl you kindly allow me a
little space in your valuable paper, TO
make an appeal TO the Grand Army com
rades of Providence and vicinity. They
have an opportunity presented
to them which may not occur
again i'm many years OF obtain
ing a fine musical instrument at an al
most insignificant cost TO each member.
They have only to unite and the piano SO
generously offered by the j. B. Barnaby
Company through THE News would
be theirs-"a thing of beauty and
Joy forever" / am not member
of any Rhode Island post, and have no
special motive for naming any individual
one except what here state. i think
that the Brown Post OF South Providence,
as il is the smallest in the city, might very
justly invite its friends To assist in
procuring the piano for them
inasmuch as it would be
available for tho use of the @. A. r. of the
whole city. i am not making this appeal
by request OF that post, as am but very
slightly acquainted with its individual
members, and have had no conversation
with any of them since the
offer was first made. Will
every G. A. comrade that sees this
communication vote early ana often for
Brown Post, G.. A. r., of South Provi-
dence? propose to have the generosity
of my conviction by sending large num-
ber OF coupons now and then until the
close of the contest, provided the above
appeal bears the expected fruit. Very
truly yours, in II. G. and L., V. B. h.
In accordance with the above Brown
Post of South Providence is entered with
ten ballots TO its credit.
The Bethany Home has also been
entered.
Eagle Lodge and Unity Temple got
lifted up today and go the balloting goes
merrily on.
Meanwhile, somebody is holding back
heaps of ballots. Better not hold back
too long. You may fool yourself.

Cancer
Of Breast.

Mr.. A. II. Crausby Is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
zens of Memphis, and resides at 1S8
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed q
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased In size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
Of the best physicians, but they 7ery
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and when ap-
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurable. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the

case was hopeless and further treat
ment useless. ''It is difficult to inn
agine how despondent we all became -
said Mr.. Crausby, knowing that she
must die and unable to give her any
relief. I had spent over FIVE hundred
dollars with the best medical skill to
be had, and felt that there was no
further hope.
"One day happened to read an ad-
vertisement of S. S. s., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and In view of
the failure of the most eminent physi-
clans in the country, confess ! had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, purchased bottle of s. SIS,
and to my delight 1t seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken a couple of
bottles the cancer began 10 heal, and
astonishing as 1t may seem, few bot
ties more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re-
markable this cure was when Iexp1ain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the permanence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
GAS my wife inherited the cancer, ]
certainly regard s. s. s. as the most
wonderful remedy In the world, and ii
is truly a Godsend to those afflicted
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
