PRIZES FOR LABELS
Mrs. Barker Sets a Premium
On Baking Powder Cans.
A NOVEL CONTEST THAT WILL
ATTRACT WIDE ATTENTION.

Labels on baking powder cans have sud
denly jumped to the dignity of a money
valuation. What has heretofore served To
merely indivuiualze one brand of baking
pos dr. rom others, now becomes an OBJ
jea: Of distinguished consideration.
Mrs. Helen M. Barker, National Treas
urer of the w. C. 7. T., has issued a cir
cular to women setting forth the plan
whereby the sum of two hundred and fen
dollars will be paid TO women sending. her
the largest number of labels cut from the
covers of Rumford Baking Powder cans
Half the amount is set aside for con
testants among the local branches of the
w. c. T. u. while the remainder is
offered to all women. Two capital prizes
of fifty dollars each are to be given for
the two largest collections of labels one
from a branch of the Union, the other
from any woman who elects to enter the
contest. There are other prizes from So
down to S., all of which are in cash and
well worth competing for. The details
are fully explained in the circular re-
ferred to, a copy of which will be mailed
upon request to Mrs. Helen NJ Barker
The Temple, Chicago: a stamp should ac-
company all requests for circulars.
The Rumford is one of the oldest and
best known of the standard baking pow
derS, and the invention of Prof. Horsford
known to fame for Horsford's Acid Phos-
phate. It's Endorsement by the w. c. T.
Z. will undoubtedly add greatly to IT'S
popularity: as a pure, wholesome and
effective baking powder it has no equal
and as each can sold represents certain
sum contributed to the local branches of
the w. c. T. T., ,it is expected that all
women will take a lively interest in the
prizes offered. Begin at once to save the
labels. Cut from The covers that portion
of the labels bearing the words Half
Pound zone Pound Three Pounds
or Five Pounds" and put them away for
safe keeping, see that your grocer carries
Rumford Baking Powder in stock for
you and if he won't do this send his
name to the w. c. II. U. headquarters in
Chicago who will see that you are sup
piled.
You will be Thoroughly satisfied with
Rumfords Baking Powder. as it is not
only a very efficient powder the best
made, but it adds to white -four the
healthful properties, of unbolted or whole
wheat flour. and vet does not give the
dark color so frequently objected to.
Every woman actively or otherwise in
terested or in sympathy with the work
of the W. C. T. u. will be glad to help
along this enterprisng method to recoup
the treasures of the various local
branches of the union. For the labels re-
turned to Mrs Barker the Rumford
Chemical Works have agreed to pay her
at the rate of FIVE cents for each pound of
powder represented and this money is to
be returned to the branches collecting the
labels. In this way considerable sum
will be realized and it becomes a matter
of personal interest for ladies and mem
bers of the union to help in every possi-
BILE manner.
Use Rumfords. $. Buy Rumford's. Talk
nothing but Rumford's to your neighbors
See that the w. C. T. U. get the labels.
