and thankfulness for this grand in
vigorator. People enjoying perfect
health sometimes wonder at this graft
tude; but whoever has suffered from
prostration of the nerves, of which in
somnia is one of the symptoms, will
understand how hard it is to overstate
the torment of this condition. And
whoever has been made completely well
by Paine's celery compound feels that
no words can overstate the joy and
gratitude such persons feel.
This is the state Of mind of thousands
of nervous, sicl1Iy, broken-down per-
sons who have used Paine's celery COM
pound and been made well.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result
in the case of her grandchild. One of
the most conspicuous instances of the
remarkable power of Paine's celery
compound over debility is shown in the
relief it has afforded children. OF course
the dose is adapted to the age Of the 1T
tie patient. The compound purifies the
blood and corrects any tendency to
constipation. Pale, puny children are
made vigorous, rosy and healthy by
this uncomfortable remedy

tenn works necessarily. Poor sleep
means a poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every case
to prostration, and too often to dread
insanity. The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater
and more destructive than most folks
even dream of.
The all-important thing for nervous,
rundown persons, and for those who
are losing sleep is that Paine's celery
compound builds up the whole physical
system, and by improving the digestion
and regulating the nerves it insures
sound refreshing sleep.
In winter most women and many men
lead hothouse lives. A tagging appe-
tite, a disposition to pick at this dish
and that, rather than to eat a square
meal, is among the early indications of
failing health. Then comes delay in
falling asleep and the fretful, uneasy
feeling the next day.
Deliverance from such a miserable
condition by the use of Paine's celery
compound has caused men and women
from every section of the United States
to write sincere, hearty words of praise

situated on what is known as Cherry
Hill, in the lower section of the city. 1t
is more than a hundred years old, and
tradition has it that some of the most
noted politicians of the period, and of
a past period, first saw the light in this
place. 1t is this famous neighborhood
that the latest characteristic musical
comedy, Paradise Alley" is founded
en- and one of the scenes adequately
represents it in all it's delightful hide
BUSINESS.
In nearly every country where the
drama f1ourishes the State reserves the
right to prohibit the production of any
play which is judged inimical to pub
lie good or State dignity. Some official
is charged with the duty Of examining
and passing on all plays. In England
it is the Lord Chamberlain who does
this; in France the Director of the
Beaux Arts and in Russia and Germany
it is the police.
The English playwright of 200 years
ago was considerably hampered by the
strict supervision over him and his
works. In the time of Shakespeare and
for long after the playman did not dare
employ women to produce the feminine
characters of his plays. His profession
was considered disreputable and dis
graceful and if he dared to make fun
of any influential person he would have
suffered imprisonment at the least.
Queen Victoria is liberal in the mat
ter of plays and is a patron of the
drama. The office of reader of plays

though even now no new play can be
produced in England without the au-
thority of the Lord Chamberlain. 1t
was quite time before that individual
would consent to the production of
Camille" and then it was necessary to
change the name to "Heartsease," that
flower being considered more innocuous
than the camellia. The heroine had to
be represented as a widow, instead Of
a demi-mondaine.
The director of the fine arts in France
very seldom interferss with the pro-
duction of a play on the ground that it
is immoral. A play has to be outrage
ously indecent before he turns his at
tention to it. On the other hand, he is
very strict in regard to plays dealing
with politics of foreign Powers.
Tt is in Germany, Austria, Russia and
the despotic Powers of Europe that the
play censor is in his glory. The German
dramatist has no more freedom of
speech than the editor of a German pa
per. William II. is very sensitive about
plays. He will stand a newspaper at
tack better than a slur from the stage.
Austria and Russia have no theat-
rical liberty Each playhouse is under
the direct supervision of the State and
only certain kinds of plays can be given
at each house. At a fashionable thea
ter in Vienna the manager was not per-
rnitted to put on several of Shake
speare's plays till changes had been
made For instance, King Lear was
not allowed to die as it was held to be
treasonable to suggest that king could
die insane.
Play censorship is most severe in
Russia and Poland. The word king
may not be used in any play, duke"
being substituted. Liberty and free
DOM are under the ban, and slave"
must be changed to "nigger."
