Required to form a sentence, the initial letter of each word to be the eight letters in “ Tonking’s,” and in the same order. To illustrate: Suppose the acrostic was to be built upon “ Yuletide ” ; a sentence meeting the requirement would be “ Youthful, Unsophisticated Lovers Enjoy Themselves Immensely During Evenings.” A prize of ,£lO will be awarded for the best sentence formed, or if no complete sentence of eight words is made, then prize will go to the person extending the best sentence or phrase furthest along the word “ Tonking’s.” The secondary prizes consist of five of 10/- each and ten of 5/- each. TONKING’S LINSEED EMULSION FLOWER COMPETITION. The requirement is to name six flowers in the order of their beauty, and is a test of vour floral taste anil skill.

The secondary prizes will be five of 10/- each and ten of 5/each. TONKING’S LINSEED EMULSION £IOO PUBLIC PRIZE With each solution of above prizes, you are entitled to vote for some “worthy object ” in your vicinity or in the Dominion, the one receiving the most votes to be awarded a cash prize of ,£IOO. For- each competition use a separate sheet of paper; then after your solution add something like this: “ I vote that the ,£IOO prize be awarded to Miss X. Brown, of Lyuuville, for vacation tour, etc.” Should you wish to vote only for the public prize, you may omit the competition solutions, and will then be credited with two votes. You may vote for any person or good cause in which you are interested, such as giving a popular school-teacher a vacation trip (as suggested in above example); donating ;£IOO to a family left destitute; helping to erect a town clock, or beautifying your own town ; aiding the local hospital funds, or ajty commendable public or private charity. There are hundreds of worthy uses to which ,£IOO can be devoted. In order that contestants in the smaller communities may be under no disadvantage, it is provided that that “worthy object” shall receive the ,£IOO which obtains the most votes in proportion to the population of the electorate in which the object is located. CONTEST CONDITIONS.—The nature of the Competitions will almost certainly prevent exact ties, but if two or more chosen solutions are absolutely identical, the prize will be divided. It is not expected, however, that cases of this kind will occur unless one contestant copies from another. No correspondence can be entered into, as all competitors must be guided alike by these printed conditions. Each solution or vote must be accompanied by a panel of the box around a bottle of Touking's Linseed Emulsion. If from small bottle, the panel must contain the words " Gives Immediate Relief.” Either front or back panel from 2/6 bottles will serve, or both will entitle to two separate replies or votes. A complete box from 4 ( '6 size will give three entries. You may send in as many solutions for any of the competitions, with your votes, as you wish, provided panel is enclosed with each, or having voted for any object, you may afterwards vote for any other, hut may not change any solution or vote after it is once sent in. A well-known journalist will act as judge of competitions, whose decisions will be final. Within 15 days after the closing of competition, all prizes will be paid in cash and the names of the successful contestants published in this paper. The competition will remain open long enough to permit a reasonable number o( answers being received, but to ensure an abundance of lime for fully considering your solutions you are urged to forward them as soon as possible. A bonus of £1 each will, in addition to their prizes, be paid the three prize winners whose answers reach us earliest. The date for closing will he duly announced in this paper.
