Government by Veto.

A veto, used in connection with pub
lie acts, is a euphemism for smother,
squelch, kill, etc. Owing to our elab-
crate system Of vetoes our country
may well be called the veto country"
If a member of congress wishes
bill passed, it may be vetoed by the
speaker,
If the speaker wishes it passed, it
may be vetoed by committee.
If the committee wishes it passed, it
may be vetoed by the house.
If the house wishes it passed, it may
be vetoed by the senate.
II the senate wishes it passed, it
may be vetoed by the president.
If the president wishes it passed, it
may be vetoed by the supreme court.
If the supreme court wishes it
passed, it may be ignored and thus
vetoed by any executive officer into
whose hands it may fall.
II bill succeeds in getting through
all these safely, it is a good bet that
1t is something the people do not want,

What Travellers Leave.
"Of the thousand and eight things
left at hotels from time to time" re-
marked the hotel clerk, razor strops
have the other commodities pushed
across the border in point of numbers.
About 10 per cent Of the people who
have razor strops in their grips leave
them behind OF course the reason is
that the strop is hanging up on nan
out of sight somewhere when the man
packs up, and he doesn't think about
it. His comb and brush are right on
the dresser before him, and that's
easy.
Next to razor strops, though not
hustling the strops for position, come
the nighties of both genders. A good
many send back after them, but lot
more people who leave them behind
Just abandon them After SO long we
give them to charitable Institutions.
Then there are toothbrushes, slippers,
combs, curling irons, soap boxes,
clothesbrushes and a list of other
things left behind longer than an ex-
pense account every month. People
are just that forgetful. New York

WHY do so many women who do their

Why do so many women who do their

The weekly washing, they will tell
you, is responsible for their breaking down.
And they tell the absolute truth if they
wash in the old-fashioned way.
Continual rubbing on the washboard
is SO bad on the back.
And standing over steaming suds paves
the way for colds.
But the Fels-Naptha way is just as
different from the old way Of washing as
Fels-Naptha is different from allother soaps.
Only cool or lukewarm water needed,
in winter or summer, and very little rubbing
required.
In a nutshell Fels-Naptha does most of
the work itself without human assistance.
In using Fels-Naptha, follow the easy
directions printed on the red and green
