You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need.

" The Voice of the.People Postal officials are authority for the statement that the volume of mail received at Harrisburg during the last two weeks, as the result of the campaign of education now being conducted by the railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey in an effort to show the people the vital necessity of having the Full Crew —" excess man crew" —Laws repealed, smashes all previous records. Over 300,000 communications have been sent, each Senator and Assemblyman having been buried beneath an avalanche of letters urging repeal. These figures do not include the great num ber of persons Voicing their sentiment through the medium of hundreds of petitions. That the great majority of the people of Pennsylvania realize the great benefits and advantages to be derived by the Common wealth through repeal of this law is unmistakably indicated by the almost unified endorsement of the press. Of these editorials, 305 favor repeal, while only 19 are against it. The voice of the people also is heard in the prompt and vig orous general action of boards of trade, chambers of commerce, city councils, industrial clubs, and other business organizations. Indicating the great preponderance of public opinion voiced by such associations, the action of Williamsport Board of Trade members is striking. Here the question has been submitted to a referendum vote. To date, this vote stands 155 for repeal, 6 against it. Action by the Media Civic Association rested on a vote of 213 for repeal, a solitary vote being registered in opposition. Further emphasis of the overwhelming trend of public opinion is given by 213,000 names already signed to petitions calling for repeal of the Full Crew —"excess man crew" —Law. This also shows what the mass of people want. Have YOU written to or communicated with YOUR elected rep resentative ? If not, do so TODAY, that he may know your wishes and thus be able to intelligently reflect your judgment when the question of repeal comes to a vote.
