July 16. —The swing of Governor Stone's veto axe continues to npread alarm and consternation among those who had pet measures passed at the recent session of the legislature. The governor, after a brief vacation at the seashore, has returned to his desk und has been putting in many solid hours of work in reviewing the legis lation upon which he has not already passed. He is determined that the ex penditures of the state shall be kept within the limit of the receipts. A bill which attracted the attention of politicians looking for new officer with which to reward their followers was promptly disposed of by Governor Stone in a vigorous veto. POLITICAL OFFICES CUT OFF. This bill was Intended to authorize the governor to appoint as many in spectors of scales, weights and meas ure# in Philadelphia a* might he desig nated by the county commissioners, tind such number of inspectors in sec ond class cities as might be designated by the city recorder. The governor stated that if the office intended to be created by the act la a state offioe it is unconstitutional, and if it should be construed to be a county utllee then the question of who has the l ißht to make the appointments in such cases under the authority of the consti tution is raised. He doubted the power of the legislature to create the office and make the appointments in the manner provided by the bill, and there fore disapproved it. A bill placing bridges over 40 feet long under control and supervision of counties was vetoed for the reason that the governor believed the counties al ready have as much, or more, respon sibility than they should be expected to assume, and he is opposed to placing this additional charge upon them. "MO SOLDIERS' PAUI'ER LIST." The bill to provide for the relief of indigent union soldiers, sailors and marines was also vetoed. The governor said: "This bill provides for the crea tion of a fund by the levying of a tax of one-tenth of one mill on the as sessed value of the property in the sev eral counties of the state by the county commissiorters thereof, which fund is to be distributed by soldiers' relief committees and commissions in the various wards, townships, boroughs and counties of the state. "The enactment of this bill would create a soldiers' pauper liat, and would place this honorable class of our citizenship in the position of objects of charity, and I am sure that the old soldiers and those dependent upon them would very properly resent such action. In addition to this, the tax thus levied would be so small that fully one half of It would be eaten up by the cost of collection and quite a proportion of the balance by the committees and commissions." The bill to authorize the auditor gen eral to resettle the bills for advertis ing the mercantile appraiser*' lists for IHOO in certain cases was also vetoed. "The approval of this bill," says the governor, "would take about SIB,OOO out of the treasury." In the closing hours of the general assembly resolutions were passed granting to President pro tern Snyder, of the senate, and Speaker Marshall, of the house, the furniture with which their respective rooms in the capitol building ware fitted up. Resolutions of this character are customary in many states, but neither President pro tem Snyder nor Speaker Marshall would consent to be a party to any such dis tribution of public property. They ap preciated the kindly feeling of their colleagues which prompted the adop tion of the resolutions, but they went to the governor and upon their insis tence he vetoed both resolutions and stated in his message that he did so at their suggestion. Insurgent newspapers had attempted to make political capital out of the adoption of these resolu tions, but they have had their guns spiked by the governor's veto. Governor Stone's pruning down of the appropriations to state and charit able Institutions will meet with gen eral approval, and he has been com mended for the excellent judgment used In this delicate matter. TO PROTECT THE FARMER The governor has signed a number of important measures which will stand to the credit, of the last legislature. One of these is the renovated butter bill, which provides that those wishing to engage in the manufacture of this product must take out a license, for which the following annual fees are charged: Manufacturer, $1,000; whole saler, $600; retailer, $100; restaurant keeper and hotel proprietor, SSO; board ing house keeper, $lO. Licenses must be secured from the dairy and food bureau and may be transferred. The bill makes it illegal to sell, offer or expose for sale reno vated butter from a wagon. Manufac turers and dealers must egpose ia a conspicuous* place a sign, "Renovated butter." Manufacturers and whole salers must mark each package with their names and the numbers of their license. The wrapper must also be stamped "renovated butter." NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. The congressional apportionment bill which Governor Stone has signed gives tie first six districts to Philadelphia, l'he remaining 26 districts are as fol lows: Seventh, Chester and Delaware; Eighth, Montgomery and Bucks; Nin.a, Lancaster, Tenth. Lackawanna; Eleventh, Luzerne; Twelfth, Schuyl kill; Thirteenth, Lehigh and Berks; Fourteenth, Wayne, Susquehanna, Wyoming and Bradford; Fifteenth, Ti oga, Potter, Lycoming and Clinton; Sixteenth, Northumberland.

The name "Chase," twice made famous, is a shining mark for the unscrupulous to pounce upon and appropriate in order to foist upon the public their worthless pre parations. These birds of prey, by using the name Chase, expect the public to be fooled into believing they are the medi cines of Dr. A. W. Chase, who first be came noted as the author of the world famed Dr. Chase's recipe book and family physician, and whose fame is now doubly increased by the wonderful success of his Nerve Pills, with Nerve, Brain and Blood troubles. They play upon the name Chase, but dare not use the initials "A. W." They imitate, but dare not counterfeit the portrait and signature of Dr. A. W. Chase, which identifies the Nerve Pills now recog nized as infallible for building up pale, weak, thin-blooded, nerve exhausted suf ferers, Who are nerve-tired and brain-weary Who are easily exhausted. Who are wakeful—cannot sleep. Who have nervous headache. They remove the cause of blood impuri ties. securing refreshing sleep and impart strength.

In everyday life, when a thing is hard to do, it only calls forth greater effort. If the laborer can't move the stone, lie gets a crowbar and a block of wood. He makes a lever—and the stone moves. If the crowbar isn't long enough he gets something longcy. 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 to have the lever lengthened. Certainly you ought not to shorten it. The best busi newspaper advertising is the 11 , longest lever and the quick- >ar Jjf est to move trade. -7-s- 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 arc 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. jfgflr 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 iifl' Simply because they can't afford to.
