Hi# Governor Cuts State Appro priations Two Millions And A Quarter. RESISTED GREAT PRESSURE. He Keeps Expenditures Within the Es timated Revenues of the State, and Says No Institution Affected Will Be Seriously Crippled. Harrisburg, July 23. —Governor Stont has been the recipient of many letters of congratulation and commendation for his recent exhibition of courage in wielding his veto axe, as he did in the treatment of the appropriation bills by the legislature which ad journed a few weeks ago. It certainly required force of character of an ex traordinary kind to withstand the pres sure, political, personal and otherwise '>iiioh was brought to bear upon him tc favor various appropriations which, In his judgment, should not he made or should be reduced, in view of the other demands upon the state treasury. ■I HE GOVERNOR WENT TO WORK After carefully reviewing all the bille before him, the governor rolled up his sleevss, locked himself up in his pri vate office and went at the work before him, determined to act solely in the in terest of the citizens of the state at large, and regardless of the importuni ties to which he had been subjected ever since the legislature adjourned The result was that Governor Stons has saved the state exactly $2,250,000 In making these cuts he does not deny that he was obliged to scale down or absolutely strike out appropriations for deserving institutions. AS TO STATE REVENUES. "The estimate of the revenue of the state for the year beginning June 1, 1901, as made in December by the au ditor general and state treasurer, said Governor Stone, "was $13,000,000. There was no estimate made by these officials for ;he fallowing: year, but from all the. information {hat i couid gather, I did \ot think, and do not think, that we ve Justified in expecting more than 2,500,000 for the second year, making otal of $25,500,000 for the two years •inning June 1, 1901. Adding to this 00,000 of surplus revenue for the two years, $200,000 saved from the fund by the repeal of the law \ing the deposit of SIOO,OOO each - \nt with the war department for Vsment made by the state during pish war, you have a total reve \s26,Boo,ooo for the next two is neither safe nor prudent to yx>n receiving more than this tttire appropriation, together hiount estimated to be neces 'nting, steam heat, light, etc., round numbers to $28,750,- must be added the money ?ly be required for the pur feat lands.

Under the restored million dollar fund Philadelphia will get $39,- 403.58, Pittsburg $10,546.88 and Alle gheny $4,434.35. The political croakers who sought to misrepresent the Stone administration as inimical to the public school inter ests will now have to take a back seat. There is no evidence that the schools have suffered in any way through this action and with the large sum which they will receive this year in addition to the regular appropriations to the schools, directors in the several eoun ties will be in position to meet every requirement of the situation. 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 Hlood 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.

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, he gets a crowbar and a block of wood, lie makes a lever—and the stone moves. If the crowbar isn't long enough he 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 to 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- - /Xr Jjdf 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 othersare 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 jjj. expenses, but it will pay. jfljw ' 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 pie would forget them. Kj Same way in advertising. Think about it. • You are theri'tuhen others an not. ,112 Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York* Come and see us in our New Quarters.
