Harrisburg. 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;

A Name Twice Made
Famous, Now a
Shining Mark for
Imitators.
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.
They build up people who find their
strength and vigor waning.
They settle irritated nerves, replace lan
guor and lassitude with energy and anima
tion, Cure Nervous Dyspepsia.

iShorfTalKsOn AdverMsino
By Charles Austin Bates.
Sc. l!i.
A great many merchants cut down their advertising in the Summer.
Some even stop it altogether.
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

Same way in advertising.
