Every Contestant to Be lald.
In ndditlnn to the above ten rewards,
and In older to compensate those who
may enter upon this woik nnd not bo
successful In obtaining one of the (list
ten special lewnids. The Tribune will
give to eveiy one who succeeds in ob
taining subscilbeis under the terms of
this contest ten (10) per cent of all the
money fiom subsciiptlons they may
succeed in winning for It. This extra
Inducement Is Intended to satisfy nnd
pav those who labor for It, ns The
Tilbune does not expect its friend to
exeit themselves for Its benefit with
out i enumeration. We feel confident
that this will meet tho views of all
fair-minded persons, who In this vvav
will come In foi a shnte of the benefits,
even If not In tho ranks of the first ten,
Not n Gift Enterprise.
The Tribune wishes to emnhaslze
the fact that this Is In no sense
n gift enterprise or n scheme to swell
Its circulation books nt tho expense of
outsldeis It Is n bonnlldu business of
ler, coneelved In n spirit of fairness,
and 11 will be cnriled out with equity
nnd Justice to nil Kveiy young man
or woman who pattlclpntes will receive
a share of the proceeds, even If suc
cessful In securing but one subscrip
tion. The Tilbunr takes this means of
securing new subset Ibers In lieu of tho
old-fnshloned way of employing regu
lar canvassers nnd solicitors, and
neither the price nor tho quality of the
papei has been cheapened In any wny.
Wo will continue to charge the same
into for sulnoilptlons during th
course of this Hducntlonal Contest
as we have In the past. The spe
cial rewauls will represent remuneia
tlon foi services performed, and
those who can show the best re
sults for their work will be entitled to
tho most pay. It Is also u grand op
poitunlty for aspiring young men nnd
women who eleslre to be better
equipped to fight life's battles, and It
was with the laudable aim In view of
cncouiaglng worthy ambition that the
chief ruwnrds were decided upon Bur
lug tho summer vacation there will bo
an opportunity for these young persons
to eain a light to an advantage they
would not othervvlso secure, and tho
benefits which the successful competi
tors will lecelvo will be lnstlng.
Theto Is not tho slightest question of
tho great possibilities that the futuro
may hae in store for tho successful
ones In this campaign of knowledge
seeking. There Is no votlnff for the
most popular person In nny walk of
life nnd no coupon scheme attached,
but a Just and generous rewnrd of
merit for those who bestir themselves,
nnd tho ones who strive with the
greatest nrdor will reap tho grentcst
good. This Is as It Is and should bo In
nil depot tments of labor.
Educational Rewards.
Of the ten special rewards for tho
ten highest competitors In this con
test, there Is not one In tho selection of
which discrimination nnd Judgment
has not been exercised. The aim hni
been kept steadily In view to give re
wards that will be of lasting benefit.
The special rewards of an educational
nature, of which there aro five, nro of
tho very highest class, and the young
man or woman who Is successful In
earning nny one of these five educa
tional rewards will have Just cauc for
elation nt his success, for Independent
of tho feeling of victory worthily In
dulged In by the flist of those who
compete In a contest so great nnd so
widely and favorably known ns The
Scranton Tribune's Kducntlonnl Con
test will be, tho substantial fruits of
victory will be well worth garnering
The results of three months' earnest
effort will bo lifelong, and any one of
the scholarship rewards will confer
upon Its winner an advantage that
would possibly not otherwise be within
his reach. Of the other rewards, viz,
the Sohmer Cabinet Grnnd Piano, tho
Columbia Chnlnless Bicycle, the Tele
scopic Cnmcrn, the Gold Watch nnd
tho Silver Watch, nil have been select
ed from the viewpoint of utility, nnd
the ones who come within the first ton
and prefer an Immedlnto bestowal of
their rew arils will have a vnlunblo list
to choose from. Some may prefer tho
scholarships In tho vniious educational
Institutions; otheis may choose tho to
wards that aro exhibited In tho win
dows of Scrnnton's business houses.
The Plan of Action.
Eveiy person who wishes to engage
In this contest will be furnished with
a book of credit blanks, whereon will
be bet forth tho rules of tho contest
nnd a list of tho special levvnrds. It
must bo borne strictly In mind that
credit will only be given for new sub
scriptions, nnd after the points haxe
been credited to nny contestant they
will not be irnnsfeired to anv other.
These books of blanks can be had bv
nppllcntlon to Tho Tribune1, on and
nfter Thursday, July 5, or will be
sent by mall to those residing outside
of the city. Whole the contestant ic
sldcs In Scranton, application In P"t
son Is requited. Ilneh book of cicdlt
blanks consists of ten leaves, giv
ing spaces for ten names of new sul--scrlbeis.
Kaon contestant must 1111 nut
one of thee books entliely before be
ing entitled to receive another, but
each one mny apply for nnd lecelvo ns
mnny of these books of ciedlt blanks
ns he or she desires nnd can use, but
only one nt n time will be furnished
Tho Tilbune will nlso furnish Mil ap
plicants with snmple copies of the
paper, and all inquire! s for nddltlonnl
information will lecelvo prompt nnd
couiteous attention
How to Begin.
The first necessary step, of couise.
Is to secure one of tho credit-blank
books and lead carefully the uiles gov
erning the contest, which aie piinted
on the cover of the book. Logical lea
sons why the friends of the contest
ants should subscribe nre also set forth
in detail In the book, giving the con
testants lucid arguments to ptcsent to
their ft lends why they should sub
scribe for The Scianton Tilbune. Bead
these carefully and it will pay you to
commit them to memory, so that you
will be well equipped with mnteilal for
gaining their Inteiest and convincing
them of tho desli ability of becoming
subscribers. Bead The Tribune youi
self nnd thus be ennbled to point out
to prospective subsci ibers special fea
tuies which will appeal pnitlculaily
to them, such ns local correspondence
from towns wheio they nie acquainted,
the fact that The Tribune publishes
mote Scianton news than any other
paper, that the Largest nnd most l en
able business houses use Its columns
for advertising purposes, and espe
cially dwell upon the fact that The
Tilbune is a clenn, reliable family
newspaper, and that Its news and ad
citlsetnents may be depended upon
Devote nil the spare time- ou may
have to securing new subsci Ibers, as
by concentiatlon and deteimlnation
only can good results be achieved.
Bemember the old saying that
"Pi lends, like books, are to bo used,
not abused," and If they aie asked to
co-opoiate with jou In obtaining one
of these special rewards and the mer
its of the canvass explalneel to them,
caiefully and politely, you will be as
tonished at the w llllngness most of
them will show to help you In your
pialsevvorthy ambition. Don't be dis
couraged If ou meet with a few re
buffs nt fit st. Time nnd patience nro
wondeiful factors In nccompllshlng le
sults. Be peislstent nnd persevering,
and bear In mind the fact that while
you may relax your effoits others aie
grinding away constantly, but jou will
have as good a chance ns nnv us long
ns you keep working Bvery oung
mnn or woman hns friends who will be
mote than Interested In their efforts to
help themselves on In the world and
who will nld them In doing so. Do not
icly entirely on youi friends, however,
but also go among those whom ou do
not know. American enterpilse and
nmbltlon are aptly summed up In one
vvoid, "Hustle"' and the one who
"hustles" most from now until Sept. 29
will stand the best chance of having
the first selection of the ten gient spe
cial towards.
The Awarding of Points.
The Tribune's Euucntlonal Contest
will be decided entirely nnd strictly on
the largest number of points secuied.
The points will be estimated ns fol
lows, nnd credit given only for new
subscriptions nccompanled by cash.
For 1 month's subscription, CO cents,
1 point.
For 2 months' subscription, $1, 2
points.
For 3 months' subscription, $1.25, 3
polllii.
Tor IS months' subscription, $2,50, C
points.
For 1 year's subset iptlon, $5, 12
points.
The Tribune considers this the fair
est system for deciding a contest, ns
there Is no chance for nny holding
back subscriptions until the Inst day.
i:ach book ot ten credit blanks must
bo surrendered before another one Is
Issued,
Contestants should notice thnt n re
duction In tho price of subscription Is
made vvhero The Tribune Is ttaken for
thico or moro months, as has nlwnys
been tho rulo when pnld In advance.
Credit for the full numbor of points
will bo given the contestant, how
ever, In each Instance. For ex

$5, allows credit for 12 points, whereas
twelve monthly subscriptions, costing
$C, also secures 12 points. Hence It la

tho Immediate ccntie of the tllectrlc

Mary J. Kennedy, Mnnnger of Armour & Co.'h Ex
hibit at the Trnns-Mlsslssljipl i:posltlon nt Omaha,
Neb., writes tho following of Perunii as in cure for
that common phnse of summer catarrh, known ns In
digestion, MIssKennedy says:
"I found tho continual change of diet Incidental to
eight years' traveling completely upset my digestive
stem. In consulting several physicians they de
cided I suffer d with cntnrrh of the stomach
"Their proscriptions did not seem to help me nny,
fo, rending of the remarkable curctt effected by tho
use of Peruna I decided to tiy It and soon found m
eir won repaid.
"I have now used Peruna for about thrco months
and feel completely lejuvcnntod. I believe I nm per
manently cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted
prnlso to your great remedy, Pcrunn."
Tho cnu-es of summer cntnrrh nie first, chronic ca
tnrih, second, derangements of tho stomach an
liver, third, Impute blood. It Is very rare Indeed t
find nn enso of summer cntnrrh which Is not tho re
suit of one or moio of these causes.
Such being tho case nnyone who knows anything
whatever about tho operation of Peruna can under
stand why this remedy Is a permnnent cure for sum
nor calairh It eradicates chronic cntnrrh from the
ijsteni, Invigorates tho stomach nnd liver, cleanses
the- blood of all Impurities, nnd therefore permanently
cures bv tenmvlng the cause a host of nuilailles pe
culiar to hot weather. The cause being removed
the symptoms dlsnppenr of themselves.
That "tired feeling" gives place to exuberance of
vouth; thp dizzy head nnd trembling hnnd vnnlsh
and a clear brain nnd stendy nerve nppenr in their
Hendi In the nlnce of a coated tongue, sour stomach.
