The Governor Still Has a Number of Bills Under Consideration. REVIEWING APPROPRIATIONS, With a Thoughtful Review of the Work of the Last Legislature, the People Find that Many Meritorious Measures were Passed. Harrisburg. July 9. —Notwithstand ing the fact that the legislature has adjourned and the lawmakers have departed to their respective homes, Governor Stone is still busy passing upon legislation which was put through iu the closing hours of the session. He is carefuly going over Lhe various appropriation bills and where he is In doubt as to the wisdom of alloting the amount* named In the bills by the legislature, he invariably starts a personal investigation and satisfies himself as to the facts hi each case before he acts finally. There is no doubt that the legisla ture, recognizing the healthy condi tion of the state finances was liberal ia treating with institutions, charita ble and otherwise, which receive state aid, hut it is possible that before the governor gets through with all the bills there will be some cutting down of the amounts named in the measures now under his consideration. FINANCES IN HEALTH Y CONDI TION. State Treasurer Barnett's report out this week, showed a balance of SB,- 386,850.62 in the state treasury, after the expenses of the legislature had been deducted. But with $11,000,000 given to the public schools in the gen eral appropriation bill and another million to he provided for the same purpose within the next four years in addition to this regular appropriation, and the various other large drafts upon the state funds, it can readily he seen that there must be retrenchment some where, if the state's finances are to be continued in their present satis factory condition. The people are beginning to appre ciate the good work done by the Re publican leaders in the legislature just closed and as the various features are from time to time brought to their attention, they will more fully realize the partisan and unjustifiable charac ter of much of the criticism of the work of the last legislature. A NOBLE CHARITY. Dr. Lawrence F. Flick, president of the Pennsylvania Society for the Pre vontion of Tuberculosis, has been in specting the land for the proposed new hospital for consumptives on Green Mountain In Luzerne county. The legislature appropriated SIOO,- 000 for the hospital. The intention is to use a farm house as a nucleus plac ing beds therein and Increasing the capacity by erecting tents. Then what is known as an administration build ing will be erected, the spot selected lying on the first, plateau to the south east o fthe farmhouse. In this build ing will be the quarters of the physi cians and the necesarsy laboratories. CARING FOR CHILDREN. Practical experience has shown that in excellent act passed by the last ses sion of the legislature is that estab lishing a Juvenile Court for the dis position of cases affecting delinquent, dependent and neglected children and this was supplemented in another act providing for the establishment of houses of detention in cities of the first and second class. The Juvenile Court law empowered the courts to continue hearings and to commit juve nile culprits to the care of probation officers appointed by the courts, and also to place youthful delinquents in suitable homes subject to oversight by the probation officers. The courts, in their discretion, may commit delin quent children to a training or indus trial school, or to any accredited in stitution having charge of the refor mation of children. The law also provides that no child under 14 years of age shall be committed to a Jail or police station, where It would be sub ject to the demoralizing Influences arising from association with adult hardened criminals. AGAINST DIVORCES AT WHOLE SALE. Governor Stone has vetoed the bill to permit libelants in divorce proceed lngs to testify as witnesses in all mat ter material in the issue where there has been no personal service upon the respondent. Iu vetoing the bill. Governor Stone wrote: "This bill would, in my judg ment, open a wide door in the obtain ing of divorces. Our laws are too lib eral now in the granting of divorces, and I would restrict rather than en large them. If this bill should become a law it would be as easy to obtain a divorce in Pennsylvania as it is in any other state, and much easier than in some other states; it. would also be possible to obtain a divorce without the knowledge of the other party at all. I have always believed the mar riage contract to be sacred, and I can not co-operate in the passage of a law which makes it so easy to annul it." A PHILADELPHIA REFORM. A reform measure passed by the last legislature became operative on the Ist inst. in the abolition of the obnoxious Public Huilding Commis sion in Philadelphia. This iniquitious institution had for years been con fronting the taxpayers of the Quaker City with enormous expense accounts In their worw of constructing the City Hall. Neuralgia, The Prayer of a Nerve for More Blood. Neuralgia may attack any part of the body but most frequently occurs where the nerves are most abundant. In the head, In the face. Sometimes the heart nerves seem to twist Twinging rheumatic pains of the extremi ties Sharp and intense at times In the intervals dull and heavy. Neuralgia is the result of impoverished blood caused by impairment of the nerves — a lack of nerve force. It is a disease of the nerve centers, and the pains accompanying it are a prayer for better nourishment. They are the danger signals which warn you against a total col lapse of the nervous system. Liniments and all external applications can only give temporary relief. Permanent cure cannot possibly come until the nerve centers are thorougly revitalized and reinvig orated by Dr. A. \V. Chase's Nerve I'ills. The beneficial effects of this great nerve re storative are felt thrilling through the nerve fibre* as week by week and month by month the nerve force of the body Is restored. Women afflicted with diseases peculiar to their sex are frequently great sufferers from neuralgia. Dr. Chase's Nerve Pills positively cures both these disorders by filling the nervous system with new vigor and life. 50 cents a box at all dealers, or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

In everyday life, when a thing is hard to do, it only calls forth greater effort. If the laborer can't move the stone, he gets a crowbar and a block of wood. lie makes a lever—and the stone moves. If the crowbar isn't long enough lie gets something longer. He doesn't give up—because the stone has got to be moved. Same way in business. Trade is a stone. The funny thing is that the lighter it gets the harder it is to move. It can be moved, though. You may have lo have the lever lengthened. Certainly you ought not to shorten it. The best busi ness lever is advertising— newspaper advertising is the longest lever and the quick- ——-— — Dull times are the times , , , " The best business lever is advertising" to put forth the greatest effort and the most money. People don't usually ask for what they have already. Advertising is merely asking for trade. When the store is full every day, cut down your space. When trade is slack increase your space. Don't expect that you will get a big trade in dull times, but keep count and you will find that the advertising is profitable. Profitable right at the time and enormously profitable after awhile. The very fact that only a few merchants are wise enough to advertise in dull seasons makes it all the more profitable for those who do. You are there when others are not. It gives you greater prominence. It will make your advertising in busy times much more effective. Common sense has a great deal to do with advertising. Think about it from a common-sense standpoint. It may take some "nerve" to pay out money for newspaper space when the business isn't paying expenses, but it will pay. m More than half the business houses in the country would be ahead if they could shut up for three months in the Summer. But they Simply because they can't afford to. Peo mm^jmpie would forget them. ' Same way in advertising. % You tire there when othersurenet."
