PUT HOLE THROUGH GEORGE WASH
INGToN's PICTURE.
In the closing hours Of the legis-
lative session, during the annual
paper wad throwing sport, someone
threw a bound copy of the Audit
or's report through the painting of
George Washington, back of the
rostrum of the presiding officer.
PEACEFUL SESSION.
If little important legislation was
accomplished there is, however the
consolation that much vicious leg
islation was stopped and little was
passed. The session was peaceful
and amicable from party stand
points throughout.
The personnel of both Houses was
above the ordinary in point of in
telligence and both bodies worked
in dignifled and deliberative man
ner on all propositions.

you could get this paper thirty
days for the price Of three beers,
every descendent Of Adam would
know that means fifteen cents. But
if we were to say that it would be
sent three months for the price OF

wouldn't know whether we had
raised the subscription rate or were
giving the paper away.

of receiving a member from a sister union
in another state. We are encouraged to
go on with this work. We believe there
are others who will sign the pledge, she
said. The l.. T. L. are the ones who
will take our places, and every mother in

THE TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aciU do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion of
1T, clap "a Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the badspot. They are the get-Out-t0-nlOrrOto
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
ls comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as sheet of ice does I'M
der the Spring sun. You cannot foreteli
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or We will prepay postage on any
number ordered in the United States on
receipt of $50. each.
