remedy which was really of any benefit
to me. / have not had trace of kidney
trouble nor a cold in my system"
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in SO many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman-
ent in it's effect.
It has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs Of
a narcotic nature.

which, on being received by a friend
may be reproduced with the very ac-
cent and emphasis of the sender.
Such a card, in fact, is not a theory.
Photograph postas, as they are called
are already for sale in Germany, con-
tanning records of songs, which may be
sent through the mails. Accordingly a
lover may send to his sweetheart such
song as when We Are Married.
etc. The creditor may let his debtor
hear, PAY Up, Charley. or Go to Jail,
and the spendthrift "It's All Going Out
and Nothing Coming In"
The next step, the manufacturers say,
Is a comparatively easy one. 1t is to
provide the public with a reasonably
priced machine which will both record
and reproduce the voice. Then If two
persons have such machines, they may
correspond as long as they have cards
to send back and forth. 1t will also be
possible for them to record on card
twenty times as many words by phon-
ograph as by pen, as each word Is
hardly more than dot. The dots are
arranged i'm concentric circles, closely
wound round each other. The cards are
of the ordinary size and made of hard
gelatine.

by. AS one publisher of picture postals
expressed it,
Tainted meat draws the flies and we
are after the flies"
Tempted by such motives some prln-
ters are now utilizing every opportunity
possible to market "unclean cards. as
the postofice authorities call them.
Some of them do business with as
much secrecy as counterfeiters guard
ing against discovery until they have
printed a big stock, and then disposing
OF them through gutter pedlers' VINO
pay for police protection to dispose OF
their wares without interference
In the Shops
Another alarming phase of the evil
Is the way it is creeping into stores
where it has still larger opportunities
of communicating the minds OF the
young. In many places these "unclean
cards" are sold to customers by girl
clerks.
Until recently the indecent postal
cards came into this country from
Europe, so that most of them were
held up by the postal authorities. The
worst came from France, being sent
hither by American tourists. Indeed,
the Paris dealers Of these CARDS say
that the Americans are tnelr pesl cus-
toners and the English next, although
both hail from countries which have
the strictest laws against such things,
AT the present time the postofIlces of
the United States are deluged with
vicious cards that are homemade, and
they are increasing so fast that the
postal authorities can hardly keep up
with them.
The souvenir postal however, may
vet develop into one of the chief boons
of mankind, say its advocates. Before
long a kind OF card will be made by
which one may send through the mail
long messages TO be spoken by his own
voice. BY the aid of a phonograph a
person may be able to record a talk of
several hundred words on a postal card,

his breVity, either. The picture on the
card was so big there was no more
room for anything else.
Another reason why the picture postal
card became popular on it's first appear
ance was that it appealed more or less
to the self-conceit Of the sender. When
the native of LonesomeVille, for in
stance came to Los Angeles he was
sure to mail home cards picturing the
most luxurious hotels and the highest
skyscrapers in order to fill the Lone
somevilleites full of envy.
Became a Frankenstein
Not until the postal card began to
depict humanity, however. did 1t de-
velop into the veritable Frankenstein
that ii is at the present time. Not till
then did ii become not only a craze,
but also, in the opinion of many, a
menace. It's field became limitless. 1t
now found itself able to stir the varied
emotions of man. to hit off his different
traits. to ridicule his foibles, to car
toon his hobbies, and in fact to run the
whole gamut of human life from what
is best in 1t to what is the very worst,
In this way the postal card would make
every day st. Valentines day. and all
the world a continuous vaudeville. I'm
like other fads, it does not seem doomed
to an early death, because 1t does not
have chance of becoming monotonous,
1t Is continually assuming new cos
tunes and playing new parts.
For the very reason that its range
is so wide, the picture postal has not
only sought to depict the ideal, but
also stopped to the baser side of life
More and more 1t is choosing subjects
that verge ON immortality or are pro-
fessedly vicious. Money getting, of
course, Is behind this dangerous ten
dency of the picture postal business

u ICTURE postals, started as fad,
are threatening to become a
menace. The postal authorities
have taken hand in the suppression of
the vulgar sorts. and Postmaster Flint
has Issued sharp orders regarding
them. Tons of these cards are handled
daily. and the task of separating the
vulgar. suggestive and inane ones from
those which serve a useful purpose is a
big one.
Post cards of proper nature are not
only an innocent form of amusement,
but they serve a good purpose Views
of cities natural scenery, fine paint
ings and the like. sent home by tourists
and visitors, have done much to ad-
vertise Los Angeles and its beauties.
There is no desire to interfere with this
good work. nor to hamper ii in any way.
But with the licentious, nasty and dis
gusting cards which some case-hardened
wretches have issued Postmaster Flint
will deal with no gentle hand. The
furnace Is their only refuge.
Two years ago the picture postal card
fad began in this country In such a
humble way that 1t was unknown to
the great majority of people. In fact,
1T could not then be called a rad at all.
1t was limited to few picture postals
representing local scenes. These We're
cards with Photographic views of the
streets and buildings of cities, or Of
mountains, lakes and rivers of country
regions, most Of which were bought by
travellers who found them handy
means of letting people at home know
where they were.
The postals took far less time than
letters. Instead OF having to COM
pose laborous essay on the things
seen, the kind of weather, what every
body said of this or that, besides ex-
cuses for mot writing before" the
traveller needed only to scratch down
two or three words OF greeting and his
name. And he did not need to excuse

en Hur Its Religious Aspects Their Strong Lessons

TEIE extraordinary success Of Gen.
Lew wallace's religious romance
Ben Hur" on the stage can be
accounted for only on the ground that
the religious drama has found a place
I'm the theaters, and that the old atti-
tude of the church against the play
house has undergone considerable modl-
fcation.
Because of its spectacular features
end its exciting chariot race, ben
Hur" would have been a great success,
even II its theme had been purely secu-
lar. But 1t could not have gone from
city to city and played month after
month save for the support of some
element not usually attracted to the
theater.
Ben Hur" Is the foremost of num-
Der of religious plays that have Of
late been conspicuously successful.
The Sign of the Cross" THE Christian"
and "Quo Vadls" are other striking
examples in the way of modern plays;
special attention is also due to the re-
vival of the old medieval morality play,
"Everyman," which found great favor
in England, but only in two or three
cities in this country
The so-called modern religious plays
are not all pure examples of their class,
however Many have been constructed
for money making purposes, first Of
all. They combine spectacular realism,
heightened dramatic effect and rellg-
ious sentiment. They are sort of
composite of modern ethical drama,
melodrama and Christian doctrine. Con-
sidered as plays, that is, by the art
standards applied to other represent
ative works of the stage, not one Of
them is high class excepting ben
Hur." This play is not artificial in any
respect, although it is two plays in one
"a secular drama of striking episodes,
leading to the chariot race (Which is It's
climax, and a simple but impressive
religious subject beautifully worked
out.
Theater Should Gain
AS result of the favor in which
this work has been regarded, the play
house should be a gamer. 1t Is only n
step from the religious play to the
ethical drama, and it may be conceived
that the interest created by witnessing
the one will lead many who have not
been frequenters of the theater to go
to the other. 1t is also only a step
from the present mixed drama of relig-
ion and secular to the works of
purely religious import and 1t is GER
tain that such works, If written in
exalted spirit, would continue to at
tract a large portion of the regular
theater-going public.
Three Great Scenes
Upon three scenes in particular does
the relfgiosity of Ben Hur' take
especial distinction and they are ex-
tremely valuable as bringing home to
us actual living pictures of Biblical

The Poem That Once Saved the
CONSTITUTION"
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down,
Long has 1t waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath 1t rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar:
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more!
Her deck, once red with heroes blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the Victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea
oh, better that her battered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave!
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to her mast the holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail;
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!

Who viii Save the
Frigafe Constitution?

thews of Boston, who would have the
school children of that city contribute
the funds necessary for repairs
Mr.. Matthews has asked the consent
of the secretary of the navy to his
scheme, but the secretary is not quite
clear that the government. under the
laws, can give its consent. But he has
promised TO investigate the question
and make q report.
If the Matthews proposition can be
accepted, the Constitution will quickly
arise from its present ruined state to
be an object Of patriotic pride all over
the country.
But for sentiment, the vessel would
not be worth preserving, and long ago
would have gone the way of all the
other ships of her day. Let us take
just a glance at her history by way of
argument for her ehabilitation-which
once before was brought about by Mr..
Holmes famous poem.
One night, without orders, the Con-
stitution set sail from Boston harbor to
engage the Guerrierre, called "the ter
ror of the seas" The English navy
was then at the height of its prestige.
1t had fought 200 battles and lost only
five of them, and it's credit was so
great that all the world stood in awe
of it. The Guerrierre represented the
latest type of British fighting ship,
and it had been sent across the ATTAIN
tic to intimdate this country ana
carry CONSERVATION into the ranks Of
our Insignificant navy.
Humbed Brltain's Navy
The ships met, and in forty minutes
the Guerrierte was a wreck. John
Hogan, the American sailor, climbed
to the top of a mast during the en-
gagement and nailed the American col
ors fast.
Never had seamen fought as fought
the American sailors on that eventful
18th of June. 1872 and never had fight
ing brought greater triumph. The re-
suit of that one fight did more than
any other one thing to weaken the
arm of Great Britain in the war. The
English navy was no longer invinci-
BILE A handful of rough and rela-
lively unframed Americans had met
it's best ship and in forty minutes had
sent it to the junk pile.
In the war in the waters of Java,
with the Turks in the Mediterranean,
with Golfers squadron, during the
civil war in this country-in fact,
wherever she went, the Constitution
fighting ship and in all the history Of
the American navy, brilliant as that
history has been, there is no name that
is more familiar and more revered
than that of the old hulk that now
lies neglected in Charleston navy
yard.
And so, though the sentimental argu-
ment be the only one that can be used
in the demand that the old Constitu-
tion be properly looked after by the
American government, 1t ought to be
used with all force, for, when rightly
directed, there is nothing that can
stand in opposition to 1t.
