PRIZE WINNER GETS REAL PLEASURE IN
 FINDING SLOGANS
Miss Holt Says, However, That It Took Work and Was Educational as
 Well as Pleasant

That The Age -Herald's recent "slo- gan contest was interesting as well as profitable is indicated by a letter from Miss Katherine Holt, winner or the second prize Miss Holt writes:
 Mrs. Lewis B. Barrett. president, The Age Herald Publishing company Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Mrs. Barrett: l wish to ac- Knowledge the receipt of, and sim cerely thank you for, the check for $l5 received today as prize in your recent advertising slogan contest. It was most opportune. as I moved this month and thereby incurred mum Der of extra expenses.
 "It might interest you to know from how many angles tackled your contest Naturally, I first secured as many as I could from the news paper. cutting out the slogans and pinning back of each the advertise ment which tied up with 1t. All dur ing the week read the ads, not only current ones. but went over all the back papers I had as well. The fol- lowing Sunday I still lacked five. and after having dinner at the club, l proceeded to walk around the six main blocks in the heart of the city. scanning windows and signs for slo- gans. This answered two of my five remaining puzzlersi I knew one of them was Butternut bread. but l didn't know who got 1t out, and next day I sent to four grocery stores, as their ad said Butternut Bread at All Grocers"-but it wasn't That was the only one I missed-never did find out who made 1t, and had to send in my answer merely as Butternut bread. The last dav I spent my noon hour at the library with bound volumes of newspapers for March, 1922. the month of the housewives exhibit here. 1t occurred to me that if Birmingham firms were ever going to advertise their products. the week that they were or exhibition would be the logi- cal time to drive home the fact.
 This is one contest I rather en- joyed, and I wish you'd have another, In my ramblings, literal and figura- tive. l found enough more slogans for several more, it seemed to me
 Very truly yours.

the explanation than did anyone elst
 While in self-induced frances MT. Cayce has diagnosed thousands of cases all over the United states, without failure, where the patient followed his directions. Contrary to the practice of the eprofessionai mystic, he does not profess to be un- der the --controi' of any famous de- parted spirit. In fact he professes total ignorance about every part Of his work except it's results
 He said that he was dull in school. Because of repeated failures to get his lessons. one night when he was 10 years old, ill his first year of school. his father undertook to teach him his spelling lesson. He was not to be allowed to go to sleep until he had learned it. The word cabin proved too difficult for him. Finally he begged his father 10 let him go to sleep for just Q few minutes, promis- ing to learn his lesson as soon as he woke. Here he first learned that he was different from other people. When his father awoke him, he not only knew his lesson. but knew every word in the book. Further, he could tell what page and line each word
