IL the "How to Earn Money at
Home" contest, i am going 10
spend an extra twelve dollars this
week, and besides the ten-doiiar
prize and five two-doliar prizes, !
shall give four extra prizes OF
three dollars each. -,
W had a most excellent letter
from a woman whose initials are
IN. A." and who stood a very
good chance of winning prize
except for the fact that she did not
give her address. Always in my
prize giving, l must isist that the
name and address of each prize
winner be printed because the
other contestants have the right to
know that the prizes are given to
actual persons. Unless the full
names and addresses are given,
some question might easily arise.
1t is because l want every woman
tn feel as satisfied as possible that
all the rules must be carried out.
/ want not only to be as good as
my word but a little bit better.
If an. A" will send the address,
consideration may be given her
letter at a later date.
Two other correspondents whose
letters were most meritorious ask
ed that their names be not used.
One was Mrs. C.. Y. and the other,
L. G.. G.. If they wish to recon-
slider their request, l will give
them consideration at later date.
Mrs. M. v. L., under date of
May 18th, sent in a splendid let
ter on home made candy. She neg
lected to say just how she markets
or sells that candy. Will she
please supply the missing details?

Ten Dollar Prize Letter.
DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
This letter may interest you as
an idea for making money at home,
as it is not a theory. That merely
sounds practical, but is fully
demonstrated fact.
. NV husband, one child and I
. lived in an apartment house that
was filled with rather. well-to-do
people, the women playing at
"house keeping" in the kitchenette
manner. nearly all of them doing
their own cooking with the aid of
q delicatessen that did a thriving
trade just across the street.
/ first started my very profitable
. work by becoming acquainted with
pretty and very inexperienced
, little bride in the apartment just
across the hall from me.
; She would bring her materials
(which / had made a list of the
raw material needed) and ] would
make her salad and desert for din
ner at the same time l was making
my own.
1t. was simply no trouble and a
real pleasure to help her in that
small way, as l had my own work
planned so I was only in the
kitchen an exact two hours a day,
had dainty, well prepared and at
tractively served meals, fresh,
clean apartment and time to go out
when / chose: and she was anxious
to learn how to accomplish the
work without being worn out and
forever in the kitchen.
She simply had no talent for
cooking and had to spend as much
time studying a cook book as
spent preparing a meal.
From that small favor to her,
got my idea that made S12 a week,
and sometimes more, for over two
years, so l know it Is practical.
without neglecting my own house
hold in any way.
/ planned my work so / had no
trouble in making salad and desert
for six or eight as easily as for one
Six women in the house were de-
lighted to have the bother of va
riety and preparation taken off
them, and each of the six paid me
81 a week for preparing their salad
and desert or some other special
dish was having for our own dim
ner.
They furnished their own mate
rails, and made one list from which
] ordered my own and they ordered
theirs.
Then / made my own salad and
dessert at the same time, and the
extra work took just about one
hour a day, for which l got $12 a
week.
You will see that 81 week was
