OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESTORER.

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know that skins and hides convert
cd into leather by the of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, SIC. M
When the force and strength Of the Tannin is worn
out, leather becomes dead hard dry, BRITTLE cracked,
covered with crust, NC. THrs ALL ANuw To re-
store them life, soltness moistness strength smooth
ness and all crust, fly, or bster-restore the
tannin This substance the leather never receive
the second time but the whole virtues Of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN (which pene-
trates the sies and hardest leather, if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily wtn the
fingers, it mparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seem 1t becomes like new leather,
in all respects with delightful sotness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly I'M
pervious to INDEPENDENTLY boots, Shoes carrl-
tops harness, hose trunks and in fact all things
MAZE of leather, giving splendid polish, even high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability in whatever manner the leather
is used THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may old shoes, groan with
corns, tide with Old carrage-tops-have old harness,
and throw them aw half used-look filthy them
selves and all about them-expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to thor hearts
tent, for what we care, If their prejudces are so
strong they will cot try new discovery. We have no
avors TO ask of Them they the greatest sufferers

TWLNTY.ElGHIH CONGRESS-,
FIRST SESSION.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1914.
fs SENATE.
The Senate did not sit to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FIRST SESSION

Mr. C. JOHNSON made some movement, but
whether aga nst reporters or claimants, we could
not distinctly hear.
Mr. WISE made special report on the sub
ject of the rules and orders, which, on his mo-
ton, was ordered to be printed.
Mr. BLACK, of Ga, sent to the Clerks desk
a paper which he desired to have read for
information; after some objection by various
members, the paper was read, and proved TO be
a resolution for the employing, and paying by
the House, regular corps OF reporters, whose
duty should be TO correctly and literally report
the proceedings Of the House. The resolution
was objec ed to, and, therefore, was not received
ORDERS OF THE DAY
Mr.. ADAMS called for the regular business,
and the discussion of the 25th rule was continued
by Mr.. WRIGHT, Of Ia, who defended the right
Of petition, as an original right, which depended
neither upon constitutions nor edicts, but belonge
to man as man. He had never seen notice Of
a meeting, or call for one, of the Liberty party,
or Abolition party, which was not heralded as
meeting in behalf of the right OF petition. He
wished to have the issue changed. Do away
with this rule, receive these PETITIONS and then
let the question be no longer about the right OF
petition.
Mr.. STILES, of Ga. spoke next, and, OF course,
defended the 25th rule. He retained the floor
until the morning hour expired.
Executive communications were received,
principally from the War Department, one in
reference to the Florida Indians, and another
about the Delaware Breakwaler One from the
President covered communication from Cheva-
lier D'Argais respecting the schooner Amistad.
Mr.. BLACK, of Ga, moved suspension OF
the rules, to get in the resolution, above referred
to, in reference to reporters.
PRIVATE BILLS
Mr.. THOMPSON, of Miss, moved that the
House go into Committee Of the Whole, and
take up the calendar Of private bills.
A large number Of private bills were read and
laid aside to be favoraby reported to the House.
And then the House adjourned.
