Do NOT HOLD YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS UNTIL The LAST MINUTE
SEND THEM IN AN ONCE AND AVOID The RUSH OF THE
LAST DAY---THOSE MAILED AFTER II p M SATURDAY ARE
OF NO VALUE.
VOTING is PROGRESSING AT A FURIOUS RATE

votes viii be rife tomorrow, but
they should be treated as rumors. A
candidate nav know what she has,
but it is very certain that nobody else
will know.
For all the contest manager knows
some of the candidates who were not
at all in the running may now have
enough votes to give them a promi-
nent place. And they may still be in
the "also RAM class.
But speaking of rumors, there were
rumors of dark horses yesterday that
were quite worthy of credence. The
conditions in some districts were
such that candidate with enough
votes for a start would be wanting in
spirit if she did not go after the top
prizes in a case where somebody was
lying down with the idea that it was
all over, that she had the auto won,
and there was nothing to do but wait
for the distribution of prizes. Some
wise candidates far down in the list
have seen their opportunity, and are
taking advantage of it.
The contest manager knows moths
ing about the detaT1s of these fresh
starts that are being made, but he
was not surprised.
This is no time for sitting down in
the fond belief that the contest is all
over. The time is not yet ripe for
playing on one of those world-re-
nowned $425 Eiler pianos, and the
girl who thinks now that it is pretty
near time to toot the horn on that
Ford car is due for an awakening.
The contest will not be over in any
district until the polls close at II
o'clock tomorrow night
One Day Left.
With but one day left before the
great Capital Journal contest will be
at a close. the interest is intense, and
all of the candidates and their
friends are breathlessly awaiting the
end of the big battle of votes. AL
most all are confident of victory and
those who are not now ahead are sure
of forging to the front at the wind
up by virtue of the reserve votes
which they have up their sleeves.

carefully. Do not make up your mind
that you understand any particular
one until you are absolutely sure of
its full meaning. If the precautiOn of
careful reading is adhered to closely,
there should be no vain regrets con-
cerning reectejd votes not cast be-
cause they do not conform to the
rules of the contest. If in doubt con-
ceIning any point, ask questions un-
til everything is perfectly clear.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
On account of the uncertainty of
mail reaching contestants in time to
be returned for the final count the
contest department. will acknowledge
by letter all remittances received by
contestants from this time on but
the votes will be deposited in the
ballot box for the final count instead
of returning them as we have done
thus far. This only applies to sub
scTiptiOns sent us by mail.
Read the advertisement which ap-
pears on this page for full announce
ment of the affair. The scale upon
which the votes will be issued on all
subscriptions is outlined in the adj
vertisement. Read it over carefully.
But four more days remain in the
Capital Journal voting contest. Next
Saturday night the winners will be
decided. Be one of Them As the
last coupon has been printed in the
paper all candidates must depend
entirely on subscription ballots for
the remaining week of the contest.
1t will be all over tomorrow night
but the shouting.
There is no telling who will do the
shouting. The contest manager
doesn't know. Neither does anybody
else. Rumors of what such and
such candidate has in the way of

Small PAYMENTS.

Candidates that have taken sub
scriptions for one, two or three
months at the beginning of the con-
test should get these subscribers to
pay the rest Of the year as they are
still considered new.
For example a person who sub
scribed for the paper and paid 50
cents received 700 votes, by getting
them to pay $50 more you will be-
given II 900 votes less the 700 votes
you have already received on the so
cent payment, or 14,30O votes on
$3.50 payment. This ruling also ap-
piles to any second payment you
may secure. The price by mail and
at suburban stores is $500 per year,
and this rule will also apply on
this vote. But in all cases slA
months or more must be added to
entitle you to the second payment.
The new months will not count in
on the special offer now in vogue.
When turning in such paymenth.
kindly mark your stub second pay

looking for help may apply.

fore the Chevy Chase Parents and

against tuberculosis, and which comes
under a general supervision of the asso-
citation, is what Is known as the tuber-
culosis day class supported by the Church
of the Covenant. The members of this
class are deserving tubercular patients
whose cases have been brought to the
attention of the supporters of the class
and others. An effort is to be made
to have this class include all deserving
patients who are unable, for one reason
or another, to enter hospitals. The pa
tients are few in number. and are kept
under strict supervision, as would be the
case in a sanatorium. Financial relief
is afforded the members when occasion
requires.
The association has worked to promote
the day camp established by the local
branch Of the Red Cross Society for the
accommodation of patients who cannot
enter hospital. This camp is located on
the grounds of the Municipal Tuberculosis
Hospital in a grove of trees with the most
healthy surroundings possible. The pa
tients go there daily and are kept al
ways under the eye of professional men.

at dusk. During the day they are pro-
vided with a hot dinner. a light lunch in
the morning. one in the afternoon and all
medical treatment. The camp is open
from April to December and has had dur
ing the present season an average daily
attendance of fourteen deserving patients.
Special Relief Plans.
A committee of special relief has been
created in the association with the object
of providing material assistance to tu-
berculosis patients who have slight chance
of recovery. The relief is extensive and
takes many forms. the chief of which is
to make provision for separate sleeping

viding special treatment in cases where

This special relief work is important in
that it provides way to self-help for
people who are capable and anxious to
take care of themselves but are brought
to want through physical incapacity.
The association places itself OH record

Needs Of the Association.
II is estimated that the association will
require s7.342 to accomplish the work
mapped out for the coming year The
greater portion of this amount must be
raised through admission subscriptions,
and it is hoped by the association officials
that the membership will increase rapidly
in the near future. in order that it may
reach the 500 mark with an annual con-
tribution of s. from EACH The present
membership of the association. it is
stated, is far below that number.
During the year the association credits
amounted to $7.4Ol.16. of which 81. 1885
was i'm the form Of contributions and 81,
ments for the year were $6.525.5O. The
association has a balance of $SS3.26 to
