an incident, for he had used them else
where. If he hadn't known they were
best, he wouldn't have had them. He
couldn't risk breakdown. Users Of
machinery all over the world use Vac

can always be depended upon. They do
their work better than all others, and
cheaper, too, if you figure by the work
done. They lubricate most.

Washington. June 1.-THE War Revenue bill
will not become a law until Monday. Owing to
a rule adhered to in both houses that the presid-

when the houses are in session, the bill still
lacks the signatures necessary before the Presi-

Accordingly. when the two houses meet next
